"Trump’s gains among Latino voters slip ahead of midterms":

It is understandable that Latinos prefer not to be terrorized by armed and masked goons, and they will use their votes to stop Republicans from harming them and their families in this way.

"OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said: 'We believe that the world should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology'.":
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/10/04/sam-altman-decoded-interview-ai-01106217
This sounds like he is saying: "If your lives get worse but my wealth increases, I look at it as a good thing."
Few people are likely to agree with such a selfish statement. #AI

Dan Lamothe wrote: "Another week has ended without a news briefing at the Pentagon. The last one was held May 5. That's about five months ago."

Yes, but in defense of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, if he held a press briefing, there would be embarrassing questions about the illegal #IranWar that he is losing and about the destructive changes he is recklessly making to our military (such as firing many generals and admirals).

Mary Peltola said this about her political opponent: "Dan Sullivan's votes for tariffs didn't help Alaska, but they sure helped his brother's chemical company, where he owns up to $5 million in stock. This is the exact kind of corruption that Alaskans are sick and tired of."

Sen. Jon Ossoff: "The money that they took from you when they slashed Medicaid and defunded hospitals, they are taking that money to buy corrupt, taxpayer-funded political ads on national television to try to promote a failed and broken president."

"In unveiling a panel to study the future of warfare this week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brought Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, back into the Trump administration fold. With him came a raft of potential new #ConflictsOfInterest:

Dean Baker: "The September jobs report for the United States was disappointing from almost every perspective. The economy is generating fewer jobs than most analysts had expected, and wage growth continues to slow. That is not a good picture. While we are far from a recession (unless the AI bubble bursts), it is understandable that most people don’t feel very good about the #economy right now."

Soon after election day, expect Trump to order a land invasion of Iran. Trump and clownish Hegseth will throw away thousands of American lives. who will fight in an illegal war that Trump never should have begun.

Semafor: "Senate Republicans are leaving Washington to defend their majority — many of them saddled with real fear that their party didn’t do enough to address constituents’ economic concerns before November."

Their fear is based on fact. The refusal of Republicans in both houses of Congress to reduce Trump's tariffs and to end the #IranWar justifies their defeat in next month's elections. Both of those steps would have reduced prices. Ending the #IranWar would also save lives. #politics

"A judge in the nation’s capital agreed on Thursday to permanently dismiss a criminal case charging a former Olympian with vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, a move that could prevent federal prosecutors from reviving the case under political pressure from Pres. Donald Trump":

Jesse Lee: "If Sen. Susan Collins is reelected, she will likely be the deciding vote to lock in an anti-choice majority for decades to come with another Trump Justice on the Supreme Court. Whatever corrupt, lawless BS Todd Blanche is cooking up to criminalize abortion medication will likely be up before that court."

Tommy Vietor: "Jared Kushner is a war profiteer who benefits financially when the Israeli military drops more bombs and invades more places. He disclosed none of this because he has decided he doesn't have to comply with ethics rules. The scandal is all the shady stuff we don't know, not this article."

#TrumpLiedAgain when he claimed that #AI does not need to be regulated.
Trump's lie about #AI inspired this #PoliticalCartoon by David Horsey:

Last year Gov. Gavin Newsom "vetoed a bill to require data centers to report their water use and another to ban employers from letting #AI decide when to fire people. He signed updated versions of both measures this year, along with a slew of other major AI bills including ... an update to the state’s anti-monopoly laws that was aimed at tech companies and other labor priority bills to limit AI-driven workplace surveillance":

Something created by #AI can seem to be a real person: "Griffin is uniquely able to process the full scale of face-to-face human interactions. It can adapt words, timing, tone, expressions, and movements to what is happening in the moment, just as a live person would ... Griffin responds dynamically as conversations unfold, even if a conversation takes an unexpected turn. This groundbreaking model is stunningly life-like":

"When Republicans passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act last year, they never expected a provision titled 'Full expensing for certain business property' to blow up in their faces. Democrats have latched on to the policy as one of several tax breaks in the new law benefiting #DataCenters, and they’re using it for brutal attack ads amid a public opinion nosedive for the projects":
