"By its own definition, the alt-right is no more. Because it’s no longer an alternative to the right. It is the right." From the archives:
The Alt-Right Is Now the Entire Right
The voices of reason, reality, and responsibility are a cowering minority in the Republican party.

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.

NEW: Tennessee has one of the highest rates of gun-related homicide.

A blind spot in the state's probation department appears at a time when experts say offenders are a danger to domestic violence victims, @wpln.bsky.social and @propublica.org found.
How a Gap in Tennessee’s Probation System Leaves Domestic Violence Victims in Danger
Probation officers pause in-person visits and home searches for offenders facing an arrest warrant. That reduced supervision can last for months — in one case it was over a year. Six mothers died duri...

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.
Grocery prices have jumped up, and there's no relief in sight

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Then you put your charms around me
I can't resist this sweet surrender

History has taught us that this is precisely when Donald Trump is most dangerous — and when Republicans turn to voter suppression, election subversion and worse. With the 2026 midterm elections less than a year away, Trump is already plotting his next moves.

Here’s what we all need to prepare for.

Back when the art had meaning, the rooms had soul, and the President had both.

🚨BREAKING: Alabama Republicans are pushing a new law that would let the state redo its primaries if the U.S. Supreme Court weakens protections against racial gerrymandering — a move that would open the door for politicians to throw out election results after voters have already spoken.

Democrats chalked up massive wins on Tuesday night in governor's races, with the CA ballot initiative, in the NYC mayor's race -- but some of their most astounding victories played out down lower on ballots www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...
The Wildest Democratic Wins You May Not Have Heard About

👇 Pay attention because this is the plan. They have tried to take away the ACA since 2010. Let's fire Johnson next year. I am about tired of him.
