In the center is my grandad, whose 102 birthday would be Wednesday. He and his buddies were outside of #NotreDameCathedral, celebrating the liberation of Paris. Thereβs another picture of him, standing on his head on top of badly stacked chairs in front of the iconic NDame doors

Raised Catholic, I was taught abortion was wrong in all circumstances. I became a single-issue voter.
Years later my first pregnancy ended tragically. At 12 weeks there was no heartbeat.
They scheduled a D&C. I was sobbing so hard during the procedure that they stopped and brought my husband in to calm me before trying again. Thatβs the same procedure used for abortion.
Since Roe fell, women in many states have been denied or delayed that care while doctors fear prosecution.
Abortion saved my life. It allowed me to go on and have three successful pregnancies.
I would never take life-saving care from a woman and her doctor. But if a womanβs faith precludes her from this, I respect her decision. Thatβs her choice for herself.
Changing your mind isnβt weakness. Itβs strength.

The results in Brazil and Serbia suggest the polling error at the moment understates the anti-authoritarian sentiment around the globe.

NEW: MAGA voters say they're going to the polls to fight βcommunismββbut when asked what communism actually means, things get awkward FAST.
In The Daily Show's upcoming special βRed Flags,β Jordan Klepper puts Republican voters on the spot with one simple question. Their answers are something else.
These two minutes are worth watching. See for yourself!

A Texas father who had lived in the U.S. for 25 years with no criminal record was finishing his night shift as an Uber driver when immigration agents detained him.
Without being able to speak to his lawyer or a judge, he was put on a plane and sent first to Ghana, a country where he had no ties. He was then sent to his home country, despite a determination by a U.S. immigration court judge that he could not be deported there due to likely persecution. cbsn.ws/3Ude66r

The "fack Chreestmas" lady did not broker a ceasefire. She can't even broker a sentence, successfully.

Love this idea! Then we can ask her about her sex offender husband and brother and the fact that she canβt legally vote. Letβs do it!

I'd appreciate it if @elonmusk stopped shadowbanning everyone he disagrees with. I earned a blue check under Twitter and got more than 50K followers. Since Musk took over, I've paid his monthly feel but I've gained virtually no followers and Musk's algorithms ensure that I get almost no traffic.
@IAPonomarenko I've written two books about Trump and Russia(House of Trump, House of Putin and American Kompromat) and it goes back to 1980 when Russia first began to cultivate him. They own him. He was a stupendously bad businessman and they bailed him out again and again--over decades.

BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6--
BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy
BASH: This is a president who has a history

This is how dark it is as Iβm dropping my kids off for high school at 7:05am, school starts at 7:15am. Basically still dark in October. Next week, after daylight savings time switch, it will be light when they start school. Without daylight savings time, darkness would be even worse the next four months. And of course, many kids are standing at bus stops in this. Just something to think about for those of you who think we donβt need to switch time to keep morning daylight at least somewhat stable for work and school traffic schedules.

VuΔiΔ is out in Serbia. Bolsonaro's family is not returning to power in Brazil. Machado is back in Venezuela. Great day for democracy!

This is actually a condescending view of working-class people. I grew up in a working-class immigrant family and we ate at Red Lobster and The Cheesecake Factory for "fancy nights out." But even we understood that the White House should not look like the inside of a Red Lobster. Working-class people are not culturally illiterate just because their experiences are shaped by their limited means.
