Interesting admission from the White House: President Trump "has the heart of a humanitarian," presumably in a jar somewhere in the Oval Office.

Are all our humanitarians accounted for? José Andrés, you OK?

Tough break for authoritarians who seize power this year as the Nobel Committee makes a surprise move to award the other team.

White House staff should just make and show him an AI-generated video where he wins, fly him to Duluth and tell him it’s Oslo, and dare the New York Times to say anything more than “Experts disagree about whether Mr Trump was awarded the Nobel Prize”.

Can states get corporate and dark money out of politics? CAP's Tom Moore answers Redditors' questions about beating Citizens United.

My children will apparently be attending my Reddit AMA.

Do you want corporate and dark money out of politics? CAP’s @thmoore.bsky.social is hosting a live Reddit AMA in r/Politics on October 8, at 11:30 am ET to answer your questions about CAP's bold new strategy that states can use to render Citizens United irrelevant: www.reddit.com/r/politics/

Let’s be consistent here. If the White House considers federal district court decisions to constitute “insurrection,” then the “insurrectionists” are federal district court *judges*. That means you don’t send troops to the ICE building, you send them to the courthouse to arrest the robed offenders.

Join Sen. Jon Tester on October 14 in conversation with Ben Olinsky for the national debut of a bold new approach that rewrites the rules of money in politics to make Citizens United irrelevant.

A panel discussion with Jeff Mangan, Sarah C. Haan, and Tom Moore will follow. https://ow.ly/FMqu50X75ae

The rain has soaked through everything. Your socks just sprouted a mushroom. You haven't smelled decent BBQ since your last night in Texas, before mustering. Suddenly, a metallic creak echoes through the fog. They were coming again. The naked cyclists. "Just four weeks a year," you mutter.

At a certain point they implicitly shift over to “You’re an officer of the court… for the moment.”

National Guard troops won't make cities safer in the long-run. Local cities & counties must be in control, with support from federal law enforcement such as providing crime gun intelligence

Friday evening: An angry Trump orders a cruise-missile attack on the Norwegian embassy in Washington, DC.

I see what you did there.

Every single elected Republican should be asked this question: Are you OK with the Trump Administration, the U.S. Treasury, and the U.S. Treasurer all gleefully violating a statute so basic that most children know it: You can't put a living person on a U.S. coin?

@evanbernick.bsky.social @anthonymkreis.bsky.social this is such an amazing paragraph from the First Circuit.

Sure!

1. Yes (by cutting off the corporate & dark funding that goes into super PACs).

2. Yes (by not allowing $$$ individuals to launder their money through (c)(4)s).

3. Yes (if they are created or receive limited liability from the state).

All is revealed in my spellbinding report.

It would be terrific if Apple, when it designs its upcoming AI/AR glasses, makes sure they are accessible to users with vision in only one eye, no matter which eye that might be. (Meta's new glasses are right-eye-only, which is, sadly, useless to me.)

What, you can’t tell by looking? 🙄
