Maia, the Russian Blue, is back in hospital with anemia. Her bleeding stopped for almost a week, but it didn't heal over before the clot eventually came out. Our medical team, the best in the state, is devising a plan to potentially cauterize the lesion on her upper palate.
The middle cat (pictured on right) started leaking blood out of her top half. We ended up at the University animal hospital. She's spending her second night there after a blood transfusion and antibiotics. Tomorrow she has urinalysis and CT scan scheduled.

Trump touts cost of Walmart's Thanksgiving
Trump is right — but the 2025 Thanksgiving bundle is also smaller than the 2024 package.

This year’s package, at less than $40, contains 23 items; last year, there were 29.

WOW. A federal judge says he's going to issue a Temporary Restraining Order requiring ICE to make changes at the Broadview facility in Chicago, a facility that until January was only for stays under 12 hours "absent exceptional circumstances," but has become, in Judge Gettleman's words, "a prison."
U.S. Robert Gettleman is now giving his thoughts. He says, "I think the evidence has been pretty strong that this facility is no longer just a temporary holding facility. …

"It has really become a prison."
DOJ's Jana Brady steps up next but says she'll largely "rest on our brief that we filed."

She wants any TRO to not "interfere with the executive branch."

My grandfather spent months hiding on jungle islands as a Marine Coast Watcher in WW2, tracking Japanese shipping by coded radio and surviving with the help of local guerrillas. I'll never forget the haunted look in his eyes as he told me his worst experience: getting hit with mustard and onions
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Alvin Holsey, who ran bombings as SouthCom head, resigned with no explanation. Rep Adam Smith says Pentagon denied request for testimony and Rs aren't pushing for it.

"We need to hear: Did he quit because he believed he was being given illegal orders?”

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

In my ongoing Umphrey's McGee listening deep dive, at some point years ago I stumbled across the band covering Bell Bottom Blues back in 2005. It's among my favorite songs of all time and it got played four times that year and got shelved never to be played again.

replacement.ai/At Replacement.AI, we believe that building AI tools to fix the world's most pressing challenges is an unprofitable waste of time.

It might win you a Nobel Prize, but it's not a sustainable business model. If you cure cancer, who will buy our robo-oncologists?

Today in Kent, Ohio. Yes, THAT Kent.

A psycho Trumper charged into the No Kings rally, throwing punches, assaulted a woman. He was armed. The crowd tackled him.

I considered going to Kent for the protest. It's an hour drive for me. Went to downtown Cleveland instead.

The Arizona Young Republicans finally put out their own statement and they’re standing by those names in the Politico article and condemned Gavin Wax & those who criticized their members. They also thank JD Vance, Steven Crowder and Matt Walsh for defending their hateful commentary as “edgy jokes.”

The thing is that the modern GOP (not to mention its basement-confined moron stepchild, the Mises Caucus libertarian “party”) is accurately depicted by this language and a critical mass of the party is absolutely fine with it.

It’s incredible that the VT State Senator wrapped up in this hasn’t resigned yet — every major GOP leader in the state has called for his resignation. Fixing democracy requires restoring shame to public life. And accountability. Lots of accountability. vtdigger.org/2025/10/14/v...

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.

If you have Twitch Prime, they're giving away XCOM 2 for free this week. It's a code for GOG.

If you already have XCOM 2, grab the code and give it to someone else who doesn't. It's a super great game and people need happy-making things now.

SHARE THE THINGS.

ACA open enrollment starts Nov. 1. Rates should have been published in August. Mike Johnson hopes you don’t know that. But my mom is an independent insurance agent. Has been for 20+ years. So she does know that.
