Trump won Tioga County, Pennsylvania with 75 percent of the vote. But farmers there now risk losing everything because of Trump's crackdown on immigrants. One dairy farm that sold off all its dairy cows because the owner could not find workers. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

The story of conservatism for the past 70 years or so is conservative establishment figures thinking they could temper the extremists in their movement by adopt some of their rhetoric and policies. But instead of that, they just wind up giving the radicals the car keys.

AI proponents always say that “AI is already here, might as well embrace it.” But isn’t the opposite also true? If AI is already here, isn’t the rational response to put up guardrails to ensure that it doesn’t kill us all or violate privacy? We did the same with automobiles and airplanes

Gina Hinojosa responds to Greg Abbott's ads hitting on her votes on transgender people by saying "My pronouns are mom/Texan and soon-to-be governor." www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u1g...
