RFK Jr. still uses psychedelics, & even smoked DMT, a powerful drug on which people are known to have what feel like near-death experiences, he told Olivia Nuzzi.

That’s just one of the revelations in her forthcoming book “American Canto.”

Murphy on the shutdown cave: "Trump was showing signs of cracking. What did he do Wednesday? He called all Republicans to the WH & said, 'end the filibuster.' They basically told him no. His only play would have been to come to Ds to cut a deal, but we were so impatient we didn't even get there."

Speaking of Inflation, the Trump administration released a very Biden-esque memo saying how Trump is lowering prices, blaming Biden while claiming prices are down.

You should all note that the fossil fuel industry doesn't have to pay for the eagles they kill.
Scoop: I have learned Trump went after wind farms for eagle deaths during the government shutdown.

Thousands and thousands in fines over birds that died at least a year ago or more.

I’m guessing 10-15 counties in Texas will cast more raw votes in 2026 than in 2024

NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."
WH claims 'inflation tamed,' per DoorDash stats. Company says that's not in its report.
It comes the same week we learned the WH would likely not release key economic reports for October.
