Tomorrow would have been my father's 75th birthday. I never met him. He died three days after I was born. In 2021 I wrote about grieving a stranger. I've changed my mind about some of it. Today's #Monticello is out. monticello.substack.com/p/fr…

There is an order on the Republicans' TRO request ­­— almost certainly denying it ­since it's only 1 page — but it's not on the public docket yet... should be up soon
BREAKING: The Republican Party of Florida wants a judge to pull a Democratic TV ad about the Hope Florida grand jury report. It says airing the report's "content, gist, or import" is now a crime. The lawsuit, filed at 11:36 p.m. Friday in Highlands County, targets the Florida Democratic Party, its three statewide candidates and 11 TV stations in Orlando and Tampa Bay. The party also referred the stations to FDLE and prosecutors. One copy went to the statewide prosecutor, who works in AG James Uthmeier's office. Uthmeier is the candidate the ad targets. What the lawsuit leaves out: - The grand jury report has been public since Aug. 26. - The appeals court ruling it relies on isn't final until Friday at the earliest. - The U.S. Supreme Court struck down part of the same secrecy law in 1990. Early voting starts Monday in many counties. floridatrident.org/florida-g…

This is how you know your campaign is losing.
Replying to @MaxForIndiana
@MaxForIndiana says he’s moving forward with a lawsuit against @BeauBayh over the “reckless driving” ad, which he alleges is defamatory.

Top of the US charts today in 1979: Herb Alpert’s “Rise” — famously recorded in one take. Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental. As Miles Davis said: “You hear three notes and you know it’s Herb Alpert.”

New: In early 2025, the FBI embarked on a major bribery investigation involving some of the most powerful men in Washington: Sen. Lindsey Graham, Rep. Jim Clyburn, and Rep. Joe Wilson. Then Trump purged the FBI and DOJ, leaving no one to carry out the investigation. It’s dead. 🧵

It’s just genuinely disconcerting that the American president from the party of Reagan and Lincoln is like “yeah Russia and China are the countries I want to partner with.” Decline is a fucking choice man and we have chosen it.

The Genius Award goes to the Republican Party of Florida for guaranteeing a damaging ad about @AGJamesUthmeier stays alive by suing to take it off the air. They've given his opponent @JoseJavierJJR free media. Plus, who doesn't want to see this ad now? orlandosentinel.com/2026/10/…

"Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much." - President Trump, earlier today
A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children. I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

The irritating thing is that this guy, and to some extent, his entire generation, really do think that they're the victims in all this, the people getting screwed. When literally no generation in the history of this planet has ever been treated as well on a relative basis.
“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century. politico.com/news/magazine/2…

The Florida GOP is doing a tele-townhall with DeSantis and Uthmeier. DeSantis just claimed there's no reason for local govt to worry about Amendment 3 making them have to fire cops, saying it is just to cut "wasteful" stuff and promising that he would use a "grant" to cover any law enforcement cuts. 1) Not sure the governor gets to issue grants like that on his own 2) DeSantis won't be governor after January so he can't make this promise. 3) If Am 3 gets approved, it is IN THE STATE CONSTITUTION forever until repealed 4) Anyone who does have the legal power to do this and is promising it, it's not legally binding in the way a freaking constitutional amendment is DeSantis is in fact exaggerating the "waste" and of course not mentioning how many sheriffs (including staunch conservatives) have spoken out against how bad Amendment 3 is VOTE NO ON AMENDMENT 3

For the first time in 14 years, Indiana Republicans see a real chance the monopoly goes up in smoke with the SOS race. And they’re behaving and campaigning like it. They’re doing everything wrong. Including this latest fight backing exclusion of Ballard and Shillings from debate.

Today, I called on FOX59 to include every candidate on the ballot in its upcoming Secretary of State debate. This election will decide which parties have statewide ballot access for the next four years. More voices make for a healthier democracy, and Hoosiers deserve to hear from everyone in this debate. Join us today at BeauBayh.com.

The doctors told him that he was not allowed to sleep because the blood clots made it unsafe so he was kept up all night and allowed to play a National Football League game in the afternoon? How does this make any sense?
Jalen Hurts was in the hospital the night before the Eagles game in London and did not sleep, per doctors orders. He was in the hospital in the middle of the night and played through all of that. All they knew at that time was that he had a superficial small blood clot.

I’m firmly in the camp if you have to stay awake for 36 hours before kickoff so you don’t die from a blood clot you should probably skip playing that game.
