Has @dieworkwear chimed in yet?
Michele Tafoya said she’ll “protect” Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill in the Senate. I’m going to fight to restore the cuts to Medicaid and SNAP - the same programs that saved my life as a kid.

Perhaps they were fans of David Byrne.
If such a large percentage of Democratic staffers are gay men then why is Peggy Flanagan allowed to dress like this?

Thanks for engaging on this @jaredkushner! Look fwd to reviewing all your financial documents and any agreements with foreign nationals in January. And now that you are back in “public service” make sure to preserve all written communications as required by law. #ButHisEmails
CNN published a deeply misleading story and headline suggesting that my diplomatic work in the Middle East somehow benefited investments in Israeli defense companies. But CNN’s own reporting says otherwise. Buried behind a paywall, it acknowledges: “CNN found no indication that Kushner’s actions as a diplomat directly affected the investments reviewed.” Phoenix is not a defense company. It is one of Israel’s largest publicly traded financial institutions, highly regulated and managing approximately $220 billion across thousands of investments. Think of Phoenix as the Israeli equivalent of Vanguard or Fidelity. It manages the retirement savings of millions of Israelis. The savers don’t choose the individual investments, and neither do I. I have no role in deciding what Phoenix buys or sells. It has performed very well for Affinity and our investors, up more than five times since our initial investment. Affinity is an SEC-registered investment firm. Our investment in Phoenix is public and dates to before President Trump was re-elected and before I returned to public service. Affinity does not own the defense companies highlighted in CNN’s story. Those facts make for a less provocative headline, but a much more accurate story. Misleading stories will not distract me from the work President Trump asked me to do: help end wars, bring people together and pursue peace. That work is too important.

There's always reason$
.@jaredkushner is a first-class human being. We are extremely fortunate to have him representing our country’s interests in negotiations for peace, hostage return, or otherwise. It is pathetic how people attempt to take down others out of spite, envy, political calculation or otherwise.

Latino turnout does matter but not in the way conventional wisdom thinks - especially in the gerrymandering districts in Texas and Florida. GOP mapmakers created this districts based on high Hispanic breaks toward Republicans which means they considered them base vote and…🧵

Russia and China still want to kill us all
🚨Breaking. There's been a pneumonic plague outbreak at a BSL-3 lab in Siberia, Russia.🚨 "Nearly 200 People Under Observation After Irkutsk Lab Worker Dies From Plague" - Moscow Times This is fact, and also the inciting incident in my book BIOLOGICAL WAR: A SCENARIO, which is unnerving.

The Republican candidate for Attorney General is denouncing a sexually suggestive ad disrespecting women being run by GOP gubernatorial nominee Steve Hilton
I want to be clear: I do not condone Steve Hilton's "Just Try It" video. My campaign was not consulted, nor alerted to its release. I emphatically denounce the use of young women as a political tool. California families deserve better, and as AG, I will fight every day to protect our girls, young women, and parental rights. I guarantee it.

Sad, disgraceful apology more than a month after he was arrested, fined and embarrassed his family and @49ers. He waited for the @NFL to 'punish' him to issue his apology? Disappointing and reflective of who Jed York is as a person.
#BREAKING: #49ers owner Jed York Suspended by #NFL for 6 Games, Fined $500K for violating league’s Personal Conduct Policy (arrested in prostitution ring in Ohio). He’s already missed 3 games so he’s eligible to return Oct 25 (vs #Falcons). @nbcbayarea

An operation so sloppy it's funny.
NEW: President Trump directly told Russ Vought to find the funds to finance the ads glorifying him. The agency’s general counsel and WH counsel both signed off on the move as legal. The president and WH chief of staff spoke to the DHS secretary. nytimes.com/2026/10/02/us/po…

JD Vance has the remarkable ability to shine a light on races and candidates few were paying attention to. Telling Nixon to get out of the country she was born in is great way to get focus on Florida.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
