Our Afghan allies risked everything to help the United States. Now Trump plans to send their relatives back to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. Repaying their sacrifice with betrayal is shameful and will make it much harder for America to secure assistance in future conflicts.
Breaking News: The Trump administration has detained dozens of Afghan immigrants in Louisiana — including relatives of those who helped the U.S. military — and plans to deport them to Afghanistan, according to U.S. officials. nyti.ms/4jPVvrw

Talarico: "We are literally going up against the richest man in the world. This election is a battle between the powers that be and the powers that ought to be. The powers that be have chosen their candidate. They have bought and paid for Ken Paxton. But we are standing with the powers that ought to be -- the teachers and nurses, the farmers and ranchers, the grandmother who is facing eviction, the little boy waking up from the lights of the data center ... I want to be a senator for every Texan who can't afford one"

James Talarico meets with Texans at Buc-ee’s:
“I’m a recovering Republican and this is the first time I voted a straight ticket for the Democrats in my life.”

Just a little reminder that @realDonaldTrump's White House trick-or-treating has never come remotely close to being as cool as @BarackObama's White House trick-or-treating.
My uncle spent 40 years as a high school teacher. Saved $250k in a modest nest egg.
At 78, he developed dementia and needed memory care.
The facility cost $8,500 a month.
When his savings ran out after two and a half years, the social worker handed my cousin a stack of paperwork.
She explained the rule: "Medicaid won't cover a single day until he has less than $2,000 in total liquid assets."
He had to sell his car, cash out his remaining life insurance, and empty his checking account just to qualify for basic care.
Forty years of discipline, erased down to two thousand dollars so he could die in a shared room.
They don't let working class families leave a legacy.
They make sure you die with zero before they hand you a safety net.

Rest in peace, Sir Patrick Stewart, who passed away today at the age of 86. Perhaps best known for his iconic role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Stewart spent the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown sharing videos of himself reading Shakespeare’s sonnets. Notably, he was once joined by his neighbor’s cat Glenn who appeared unimpressed by Sonnet 40.

I am watching leaders around the world condemn this horrific attack on the Dnipro train station.
Has Trump condemned it?
Je viens d'apprendre avec émotion qu'un drone à réaction russe vient de s'abattre sur la gare de Dnipro, avec un très lourd bilan.
J'adresse au Président @ZelenskyyUa et au peuple ukrainien mes condoléances et notre solidarité.
Nous devons, dans ce contexte, aspirer à bien plus qu'un cessez-le-feu localisé comme celui qui vient d'être négocié localement à Olechky. Il est intolérable que la Russie continue d'opposer son refus à toutes les propositions en ce sens, en continuant de miser sur l'escalade et en visant les civils.
Nous devons ensemble redoubler d'efforts pour une paix juste et durable et amener la Russie à la table des négociations.
U.S. Sen. candidate @AbdulElSayed (D-MI) responds to Trump's comment that he should go through metal detectors if elected: "I'll go through a metal detector if you'll sit for a lie detector... My first question, Epstein. Second question, did you win the 2020 election?"

Ken Paxton’s former top cop on why he’s voting for James Talarico:
I spent 2 hours with James Talarico. Number one, I saw no deception. He answered all my difficult questions. He didn’t dodge anything. He hit it head on.
I have been around politicians my entire life. I served 5 governors, I’ve met 4 presidents… And James Talarico is so different than other people I’ve encountered.
I think he’s the man who needs to go to Washington DC, and Ken Paxton needs to go home.

Donald Trump is on TikTok talking about another man’s ass. That’s it. That’s the presidency tonight.

So Vivek Ramaswamy and his campaign found a homeless woman in desperate need of help, cleaned her up just long enough to exploit her for a political attack ad against her own daughter, and then sent her right back onto the streets? These people aren’t just cruel. They’re fucking monsters.
OMG! Apparently Dick Loudon didn't kill "The Great White Buck," after all! (IYKYK)

He may be the leader of the Catholic church, but Chicago-born Pope Leo XIV is still a registered voter in Illinois and requested a mail ballot for the midterm elections.
