That’s an xkcd comic. A comic shows an airplane parked at a terminal with jet bridges attached and service vehicles nearby. A speech bubble from the cockpit reads, “This is your captain speaking. As you’ve probably noticed, we’re still grounded due to weather. But the first officer and I have been looking at bridge clearance maps and our top taxiing speed, and we have an idea.”

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump: So, let's get this straight??? The President of the United States is allowed (and fully approved by Congress!) to stop ALL TRADE with a Foreign Country (Which is far more onerous than a Tariff!), and LICENSE a Foreign Country, but is not allowed to put a simple Tariff on a Foreign Country, even for purposes of NATIONAL SECURITY. That is NOT what our great Founders had in mind! The whole thing is ridiculous! Other Countries can Tariff us, but we can't Tariff them??? It is their DREAM!!! Businesses are pouring into the USA ONLY BECAUSE OF TARIFFS. HAS THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT NOT BEEN TOLD THIS???

In the Oval Office, President Donald Trump stands expressionless and uncaring in front of the Resolute Desk, totally indifferent as a man lies collapsed on the floor behind him. Two men in suits urgently assist the man, while a woman stands nearby watching with concern. Despite the commotion, Trump remains motionless and detached, facing forward. The room is filled with military flags, framed photos, and official decor.

A woman sits at a folding table in a hallway with marble floors and large stone columns. A handwritten sign on the front of the table reads: "Mike Johnson is starving families and gutting healthcare to cover up the Epstein files. CHANGE MY MIND." Behind her, a hallway leads to an office labeled "SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE MIKE JOHNSON."

Jamie Dupree & @jamiedupree X.com Eight months ago, Rep. Sylvester Turner D-TX died. His seat in the U.S. House is still vacant. On Tuesday, two Dems advanced to a runoff for that seat. When is the runoff?? We don't know. That runoff date still must be set by Gov. Greg Abbott. Mehdi Hasan & @mehdirhasan X.com The GOP won't allow elections to happen. And when they do, they don't allow the winners to be sworn in and seated. Be very worried about 2026 and 2028. Be very worried. This is now an openly and proudly anti-democratic party.

‹ Politics 凸 October 28, 2025 at 3:09 PM Republicans are willing to starve Americans to deny healthcare. But worse yet... besides not using the emergency funds to feed needy families, the felon has also stopped all deliveries to food pantries. At the same time... he has announced that troops will be in place in all states by April 2026. Why? I think he's trying to cause food riots so he can declare martial law and gain the special powers that go with it... including suspending elections.

Secrets and Laws @secretsandlaws · 1d Stop calling them "anonymous" donations (for the ballroom and military pay). The donors are fully known to the government. The Trump Administration is just letting the donors hide their identity from the American people. ...

Graham Platner is a progressive combat veteran and small-business owner who says Maine needs "more leaders who stand up for the working people instead of the political elite." He has faced criticism from opponents for an old <highlighted in yellow>tattoo that some say is anti-Israel, and for outspoken social-media posts</highlighted in yellow> on policing and gun ownership. Platner says the attacks are "cheap distractions meant to divide Democrats," and that he'll keep fighting for workers' rights, abortion access, and climate action. * 18.

Meriwether Farms @MeriwetherFarms Dear @POTUS Trump, We love you and support you- but your suggestion to buy beef from Argentina to stabilize beef prices would be an absolute betrayal to the American cattle rancher. We understand there are larger economic and geopolitical dynamics at play, including countering CCP influence in countries in our hemisphere. But the practice of solving problems “over there" before solving problems here on our soil is what contributed to the downfall of our country: Americans always come last. We understand beef prices are high, and we admire your concern for all Americans, but this is not the fault of the American producer. This is the fault of politicians who have allowed BRICS-aligned entities to dominate the meat industry, that participate in price fixing and who also continually lie to their consumers. Washington for decades has facilitated the squeezing of our own ranchers while allowing these entities to flood the market with cheaper, lower-quality imports -- and the American people don't even know these products are foreign because they

To the Editor: I am one of these so-called profoundly autistic people this article describes. I cannot utter meaningful speech, and as a result, I was branded for years as someone with an intellectual disability and an I.Q. of 40. All this time, however, I understood everything that was going on around me. I just could not show it to others because of my deranged relationship with my own body. I am concerned about the creation of a separate category, called profound autism, for those of us with the most severe disabilities. There are real differences between the sort of autism that I have and so-called Asperger's syndrome. But it does not help us at all to impose a hierarchy of lower and higher functioning. We need to figure out how to tap into the skills and insights of those of us who cannot talk, who make up anywhere from 25 percent to 40 percent of the autistic community, depending on the estimate. For me, the way out of this dilemma was learning to communicate by typing. I suddenly went from being seen as intellectually impaired to taking college classes. I was never low-functioning, and neither are my autistic brothers and sisters without the ability to speak. I was just misjudged and ignored, and I fear that my fate will be the fate of many others termed low functioning in this new schema. Jason Jacoby Lee New York
