And they think we can save a higher education without the liberal arts. Once again, great job, Yale!
Q: How do you define socialism personally?
JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

„Das, was wir heute erlebt haben, ist ein einzigartiger Tabubruch der parlamentarischen Demokratie, den wir in dieser Form seit mehr als 90 Jahren nicht erlebt haben: Demokrat:innen haben Rechtsextremisten und Faschisten als Steigbügelhalter gedient.“

Momentan läuft eine Kampagne gegen Die Linke, eine Kampagne gegen Rot-Grün-Rot in Berlin. Die Wahrheit: Der Weltuntergang steht nicht bevor, weder in Berlin noch allgemein. Also: Bleibt bei den Fakten! Bleibt fair! Bleibt wachsam!

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...

A federal judge ruled that the Trump admin violated her order prohibiting overcrowding at ICE's Baltimore holding room — the very facility I've been sounding the alarm on after we saw this terrible footage last year.
The judge is right to threaten contempt — the abuses must end.

ICE IS ABOUT TO MAKE YOUR GROCERY BILL EVEN WORSE
Cattle groups in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas say ICE raids are creating a “massive chilling effect” on legal, documented workers, disrupting meatpacking and delaying the processing of thousands of cattle.
They’re reporting millions in losses.

Calling someone a phony in an ad you created using AI is ... a choice ...
oh my goodness -- I had no idea Mike Collins's hit ads on Jon Ossoff are *this* bad. Truly abysmal stuff.

🔥This is how it’s done. Imagine if every anti-immigrant fearmongering liar was grilled like this.

What does that mean ECON 101 students? (tired, sad chorus) "The Demand will increase for chicken, eggs and other sources of protein and their prices will go up, too."

I love my folks at Burger King. They do so much more to improve my quality of life (and make a mean Impossible Whopper!) than that racist piece of shit, Elon Musk.
I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽♀️

Mayor Scott deserves his flowers just as much as Mamdani. He's doing a lot with less and cares heavily for the city but doesn't get the recognition.

I know this is not the main issue here (racism) but if this a$$hat in Texas understood anything about anything he would understand that universities in the US are closing their doors and cutting programs because they don´t have enough students. Another bullet to the foot by these white weirdos.
Wow! Bo French saw brown students at the University of Texas and decided they couldn’t possibly be Americans.
That isn’t immigration policy, it’s racism on full display.
And he’s the Republican nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner.

Friday night was one of the most disturbing things ever. @govwesmoore.bsky.social where are you??? People are injured from being beaten and feel abandoned. This incident with ICE and Frederick PD needs to be investigated and those accountable need to be in prison.

The Economist goin´ keep "economisting ..." Sigh.
"Tax revenue" is the new PR line for data centers; it's true in a handful of counties nationwide but nowhere else. 3 of 95 counties in Virginia work this way, the rest got screwed by a $2 billion revenue shortfall. goodjobsfirst.org/data-center-...
