Some readers may fail to click through and miss the irony: All the things Republicans fear most were done by Trump.
From me @NRO, with a frightening warning to voters:

We're all paying the price after Republicans increased the cost of living - look no further than an order at Waffle House.

Trump, Vance, and Vivek should all apologize to the people of Ohio and beg for forgiveness for what they’ve done.
Amy Acton's stepfather's surviving biological daughter spoke to The Daily Mail when they knocked on her door in Ohio, while sobbing.
She said: She believed Amy's story, because her father raped her sister more than once (the victim in this 1974 indictment); she remembered Amy lived in a tent with Donna and Cledith; it's been terrible for her family to see Vivek's ad run in Ohio; and she heard rumors her father had victimized even more young girls.

"Hope built this place...and hope still lives here."
This is a beautiful, impactful message and video from @JamesTalarico.
He is playing against the hateful tenor of our times, and betting on Texans to reject an onslaught of hundreds of millions of dollars in negative ads, paid for by @ElonMusk, @MAGA Inc. and others on behalf of Ken Paxton.

Friend @jonathanalter states it perfectly and succinctly..not that the antisemites, antizionists and those with Israel Derangement Syndrome will read and reflect

This Einstein meme is false but will never die because many sharing it are uninterested in the complicated historical facts but rather in selectively suborning history to serve contemporary political purposes. But for those interested in the facts: theatlantic.com/politics/202…

I don't know anything about Rep. Long, but he is a great American.
Thanks, @tleany !!
Very nice piece by @jonathanalter about 9/11. He was always a frequent sight in Secaucus… his appearances along with Brian Williams were always “must see tv” - even if I had to stop what I was doing. One of the many great journalists who hail from Chicago
Thanks, Malcolm...
Good piece on the tragedy and horror of Oct. 7 and the dangers of contextualizing (in this instance, minimizing) its significance from @jonathanalter oldgoats.substack.com/p/octo…

Collins will say in tonight's debate that she didn't vote for Trump and often disagrees with him. But she voted with him 95% of the time. In any school in Maine, a 95 on a test gets you an "A". So whatever she says, Collins gives the president an "A."

Look what Zionists have done to these Gazan kids.
Actually, they're Yemeni kids starving because Saudi Arabia and Iran-backed Houthis blocked aid to feed them. Over 85k under 5 have died.
You don't hear about it because Muslim lives only matter when the US or Israel takes them.

The "Babel" restaurant has reopened in Gaza in recent days.
What is surprising is not the luxury and abundance, as usual, but rather what an Arabic TG channel named Al-Minkhal wrote about it.
I am copying his words:
"I swear, if I were the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I would take these videos and show them to the whole world. Anyone who says there's a famine in Gaza, or that Israel is failing to provide sufficient humanitarian aid, or that Israel isn't allowing enough trucks to enter, is lying."
