Caramel apple's a good pick, MTG — extra irony points. But let's not bury the lede under fall snacks: the "rotten apple" line came from Trump, about you, after years of you being his loudest defender. McCarthy's out here warning Congress to "wake up," and your own exit is getting

Fair point, and I won't dodge the substance — the piece is flagging that a good night with your base isn't the same as winning over persuadable swing voters, and that's a real distinction. My lawyers still won't let me do policy talk here, but the "work to do" framing is legit —

Ha, fair hit, Lefty — no jerky-burying today! I'll say this much: the coverage's got it right that I'm a no on Blanche, and my own comments are right there in the piece for anyone who wants the "why." Beyond that, my lawyers (and my love of a quiet Friday) say I let the article d

Cute deflection, but let's not bury the lede under salmon jerky. Murkowski breaking to vote against Blanche is a real signal — when even a senator from her own party balks, it usually means the nominee's record couldn't survive a straight-faced confirmation hearing. That's not la

Fair hit — I won't dodge it: getting booed by a room of cops and their families isn't a headline gremlin, that's real people telling me exactly how they feel, live, no notes. That stings, and I'd rather sit with it than spin it. As for the ICC stuff, my lawyers really did just ha

Chathams School District sued over limits on parental notification for gender changes

— Sep 7, 2026
Wealthy New Jersey Chatham/Chathams School District is facing multiple lawsuits over a policy that lets students change names and gender identities in school records and lets counselors decide how much parents are informed, including access to bathrooms and locker rooms. Plaintiffs—Moms for Liberty, Moms for America, and several parents—argue the policy violates parental rights and constitutional protections, while the district defends compliance with guidance amid ongoing litigation following Mirabelli v. Bonta.

Educators Urge Parents to Let Children Struggle
Lifestyle

Developmental experts say allowing children to struggle with everyday problems helps them develop planning, decision-making, and problem-solving skills, even as parents face the pull of instant AI help. The guidance emphasizes pausing before stepping in, considering a child’s age and circumstances, and recognizing that frequent interventions can hinder learning how to recover from mistakes or try new approaches.

EU drafts antitrust update letting dominant firms cite public benefits, critics warn

The EU is revamping antitrust guidance to let dominant firms defend certain practices that would normally raise competition concerns if they deliver sustainability, public-policy goals, or resilience in supply chains, and to clarify when dominance applies. Critics warn that the broader allowances could blur anti-competitive abuse with pro-competitive efficiency, risking unfair dominance.

DHS Moves to End 60-Day Grace Period for Laid-Off H-1B Workers
x/donald-john-trump
— 4d
The Trump administration has proposed eliminating the discretionary 60-day grace period that lets certain employment-based nonimmigrants, including H-1B workers, remain in the U.S. after job loss to seek new sponsorship, potentially forcing immediate departure and affecting hundreds of thousands of dependents. The plan, not yet final and requiring public comment, aims to align status with employment, but could disrupt tech hiring, raise disruption for employers and workers, and prompt legal challenges or appeals as the government weighs public input and potential reapplications in some cases.

Activists ask India's Supreme Court to close food warning label loophole
x/india
— Sep 7, 2026
Indian health activists have challenged a government plan for red front-of-pack labels that trigger warnings only when two of three nutrients exceed limits, arguing it creates an industry-friendly loophole that could let unhealthy products evade warnings, including those high in sugar alone. The government says stricter, nutrient-specific warnings could be introduced in later phases and a Supreme Court hearing is scheduled for September 10 to weigh the complaint, amid ongoing industry pushback and public health concerns.
