All the focus tonight is on the big races, but that last one is huge. Local government is where decisions that impact daily life are made.

People has consistently been doing a better job accurately and concisely coving Trump than the NYT for a while. Every member of Congress should have a staffer keeping tabs on their coverage for tips on better communication.

Let's be gentle - she may have suffered a head injury. It's the most reasonable explanation for how anyone can envision a scenario in which Congress does its job and opposes executive overreach. Or even acknowledges that the executive can overreach.

Remember this? A misunderstanding and next thing you know, @davidmccullough.bsky.social is the toast of Irish Bluesky. Before long, he's reposting Irish artists and learning Irish. All that could have happened for that other guy, but no, he had to make an ass out of himself.

The NYT has a longer story. I don't know how you can prevent a second infection in kids. The best we can do it make sure they're vaccinated. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/h...

So when people show up at ICE detention centers with signs that say "Mall Cops are Tougher Than You" is that going to constitute intimidation?

I get asked for political donations all the time. Before making one, I'll check this list I made. Those on Cook Political's list of competitive seats who didn't vote yes make the cut.

For anyone thinking "Sure, ABC deciding to cave to pressure from an autocrat is a [insert obscenity of your choice] disgrace, but how can I cancel Disney+ and Hulu? I've got little kids who watch Moana 5 times a week."

Schumer wants a 77 year old to challenge Collins. Right sure, because more Democratic octogenarians in the Senate is what rank and file Democrats want to see.

People on the left, New York Times on the right. The NYT has all those Pulitzers and yet the reporters at People do a better job conveying to their readers what the President is doing in DC.

These posts from @andycraig.bsky.social and @thebulwark.com are fun in succession. I appreciate the attempt at optimism, but when the FBI is asked to arrest state legislators who haven't committed a crime, things are pretty bad.

5/6 of my nieces and nephews graduated last month. They got together for a siblings/cousins picture and I couldn’t love it more. One of them schlepped his robe all the way across the country. Cousins are awesome.
