NEWS: Robert Kraft says he will commit $2 million to humanitarian aid in the Middle East after Ed Sheeran offered $2 million of his own, following the fallout from Macklemore’s removal from Sheeran’s tour. Kraft did not specify where the money will go or which organizations will receive it.
Robert Kraft Pledges $2 Million for Humanitarian Aid After Macklemore Challenge
The Patriots owner says Ed Sheeran asked him to match a separate $2 million commitment, potentially bringing their combined pledge to $4 million. It remains unclear where the money will go.

Big news: The family of Tierra Walker, who died after she couldn't get an abortion, is suing a slate of Texas actors in state court, including AG Ken Paxton. They say the state ban is unconstitutional.
This is the first suit of its kind.

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton
The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”

Rep. Beatty: I was at the Kennedy Center board meeting with Trump. He said, ‘I think you’re incompetent,’ and I said, ‘I know you’re incompetent.’ He wanted to talk about how great he was at developing. I reminded him that he had more bankruptcies than anybody in the room.

Susan Collins just cast the tie-breaking vote to advance Trump nominee Matthew Byrne to be the US District Judge for the Southern District of Ohio. Byrne was on the board of an anti-abortion pregnancy crisis center, and in his hearing wouldn't say who won the 2020 election or talk about Jan 6.

Corporate Media would have crucified Hunter if he had a Russian oligarch pay for his wedding while Biden was president, but they will bury Donald Jr. doing it.
Easy to become inured to absurd asymmetric accountability, but critical to hammer home to US that Corporate Media is biased for Trump.

"Everyone (myself included) is surprised the Supreme Court ruled the US can remain a Democracy" is a pretty good summation of where things are.
BREAKING: SCOTUS denies the Trump administration’s request to enforce the new U.S. Postal Service rule for the 2026 elections. Justices Alito and Thomas dissent.

![SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 26A305
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE, ET AL. U.
CALIFORNIA, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[September 14, 2026]
The application for stay presented to JUSTICE JACKSON and by her referred to the Court is denied. The Government is unlikely to succeed on the merits of its challenge to the District Court's preliminary injunction. And the equitable factors applicable for obtaining emergency relief from this Court do not favor a stay.
JUSTICE KAVANAUGH, concurring.
In my view, based on the briefing the Court has received at this interim stage, there is at least a fair prospect that the final rule falls within the Postal Service's statutory authority. See 39 U. S. C. §401(2). But applying the rule in the 2026 elections would be arbitrary and capricious in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act because state and local election officials do not have sufficient time to reasonably implement the rule before the elections. See 39
U. S. C. §3001(m); 5 U. S. C. §706(2)(A). For that reason, I concur in the denial of the application for stay.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreicqn5lewxb2bkaazujt77bmsjfq4ultwu2alo3emhvgsnpkotnwoy)

I know this is ambitious thinking for modern times, but maybe this could still be made with (and just picture it) Paul Walter Hauser?
I just learned that when John Belushi died in 1982, he was set to star in an adaptation of CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES alongside Richard Pryor, with Harold Ramis directing.
Damn.
Damn.
