Wait a minute. Why haven't the local media picked up this angle on Ken Paxton's paramour yet? Or did I miss it? I've been kinda busy, I guess. But this is something nytimes.com/2026/10/27/us/ke…

John Couvillon is a very neutral and honest observer, this is worth listening to

👀 According to Louisiana pollster @WinWithJMC, Letlow is winning LA Senate, but “this is not going to be a slam dunk race”. “I am seeing defections from Rs toward Ds about the 12% range”. Comes amid ASTRONOMICAL black turnout in Louisiana, and a broader Bible Belt tsunami.

UNO is evicting a handful of local non-profits from its office space, including surveillance purveyors Project NOLA who have moved to a "different university." But won't say where for some reason. nola.com/news/education/lsun…

LSUNO boots Project NOLA, other nonprofits from campus to make way for coaches’ offices

"This has the potential to dramatically disrupt our ability to help people," Court Watch NOLA director Jesse Manley said. "It's disappointing. I feel I have been let down by the LSUNO community."

Bolsonaro is fleeing arrest in Brazil because he just lost his election and is under investigation for corruption, money laundering and currency evasion. Brazil's federal police canceled his passports and have been looking for him. Trump is giving him shelter.

frankly and in no uncertain terms the turnout operation is not of the party but of the candidates namely Jamie Davis and Lauren Jewett operations in the SELA area.

Louisiana could end up with a D+4 EV electorate due to Black turnout outperforming their *population share* of 30% and hitting generational levels @LaDemos GOTV operation should be the story of the nation this EV cycle!!

This is like some Bizarro Operation Condor, where if you're a criminal but on the political Right, you have practically the entirety of the Americas to escape justice to.

I can confirm that @FlavioBolsonaro is no longer in Brazil and is on his way to the United States. A US protective operation is underway to ensure his safety.

SpaceX and Louisiana officials used NDAs and codenames to keep details of its massive Starbase project secret. A new lawsuit claims that many of those actions in Vermilion Parish were illegal. @alexlubben scoop:

Apparently it is unhealthy to have curiosity and/or concern for other people

Earnest take: I think it’s probably not healthy for the practice of democratic self-government that so many people have developed strong rooting interests in elections in countries they don’t live in.

Once the election is certified, Lula should send a tanker of oil to Cuba.

CNN: Kamala Harris responds to her critics and Democrats who don’t want her to run again “I go back and forth. I honestly go back and forth ... There’s so many factors.” cnn.com/2026/10/26/politics/…

Kamala Harris isn’t going away | CNN Politics

With her stops in Mississippi and across the country, she’s hearing from many Democratic campaigns who believe having her around helps — and lots of voters who are turning out to show they agree.

Yes. Correct. But, you see, that is precisely how they will solve the problem. Right wing authoritarianism is the future. It's what all of this has been leading to.

This is the strategy everywhere from now on. Try your hardest to suppress the vote, propagandize, or otherwise disenfranchise the opposition. If you lose, call the results into question, wage lawfare, and coup monger your way back into power by any means necessary if you can.

JUST IN: 🇧🇷 Flávio Bolsonaro officially rejects results of presidential election against Lula da Silva. "It is impossible to recognize the election results… we will use our legal team, we will request the annulment of these elections."

The effects of Bolsonaro's planned destruction of the Amazon would have been entirely localized in Brazil, this is just science.

The thing about Kellen is I think that's how I would be as a head coach. I'd want to make sure the players were comfortable. I wouldn't pretend I knew better than anyone. I'd be a little embarrassed to be there and hesitant with the media. I'd be real nice. And lose all the time.
