#OTD 1970 - The Phillies trade Curt Flood to the Senators for three minor leaguers. Flood refused to go to Philadelphia after the 1969 trade from the Cardinals, citing he was not a piece of property to be sold, becoming the first player to challenge the reserve clause seriously. #STLCards

🚨BREAKING: The Republican Women’s Caucus Fund has been unmasked as the force behind the fake Texas Transgender Student Union (TTSU). This Wyoming LLC, formed in September, flooded as many as 3 million Texas mailboxes and phones with texts and brochures just as early voting began for the midterms. Posing as a trans advocacy outfit, the materials—addressed to the children of registered voters—coached minors on seeking gender-affirming care even against parents’ wishes, pursuing emancipation, going out-of-state for hormones or surgery, and finding a “found family.” They copied branding from the real Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT) and used a near-identical address. Legal filings named the Republican Women’s Caucus and “John Braun”—the name of a Washington state senator whose campaign treasurer, Paul Kilgore, also handles finances for the RWC Fund and PACs supporting Ken Paxton’s Senate bid against Democrat James Talarico. TTSU’s lawyer is former Paxton assistant AG Chris Hilton. TENT sued, claiming harassment, threats, and operational harm. Judge Jan Soifer ordered disclosure, rejecting free-speech secrecy claims. So, a Republican-linked group, with financial ties to Paxton-supporting PACs, mass-produced and distributed materials that impersonated a transgender student resource guide. In other words, the people who routinely accuse the transgender community of “indoctrinating” or targeting children, themselves produced and mailed the very content designed to look like that targeting—so parents would see it and react. Every Republican accusation is a confession.

Allow me to put the vile Vivek Ramaswamy ad into perspective. This is Mike Caruso, GOP politician in Florida. He was arrested for molesting his grandson. He stuck his penis in his 3 year old grandson’s mouth and urinated. Vivek and JD Vance support Mike Caruso.

Performing an abortion in Mississippi could result in 10 years in prison but an officer killing a 1-year-old child is justified????

If you voted yes on Amendment 3 in 2024, a yes vote on this year’s Amendment 3 does the opposite. Same number. Opposite direction. What it would actually change? Full ballot language in our voter guide.

🇺🇲 CNN: White House advisers and U.S. military planners have drafted strike options against Iran that include deploying the GBU-43/B (MOAB), popularly known as the "Mother of All Bombs", targeting nuclear facilities such as Pickaxe Mountain and critical energy infrastructure. Unlike previous operational frameworks focused strictly on maritime interdiction in the Strait of Hormuz, these updated target packages explicitly incorporate critical Iranian energy infrastructure alongside hardened subterranean complexes like Pickaxe. However, the operational reality of deploying the "Mother of All Bombs" in this theater highlights the widening chasm between coercive political signaling and structural military effectiveness. The core issue is fundamental physics. The MOAB is an air-blast surface munition engineered for atmospheric overpressure, shockwave generation, and area clearance, flattening surface targets across several city blocks. It is explicitly not designed for deep kinetic penetration. Complex facilities like Pickaxe Mountain are buried beneath thick layers of solid granite, far beyond the reach of surface-blast weapons. Utilizing a MOAB against deep subterranean infrastructure serves primarily as an information operation, a high-yield "fireworks show" intended to generate atmospheric spectacle rather than breach hardened, buried assets. Aboutt Pickaxe, last Tuesday Axios reported that Netanyahu and President Trump discussed launching a major new operation against Iran before the Israeli and US elections. BarakRavid wrote that Netanyahu raised Israeli intelligence suggesting Iran is moving to rebuild parts of its nuclear program, with particular concern about Pickaxe as a possible enrichment site. Satellite analysis from CSIS revealed major surge in construction at Iran’s deeply buried nuclear complex near Natanz. Using six years of radar and optical imagery, analysts found more road activity at Pickaxe in 2026 than at any point in the site’s history. The pattern has also changed. Rather than continued large-scale excavation, imagery now shows hardened tunnel portals, newly surfaced internal roads, reinforced access areas and removal of excavation spoil, signs consistent with a transition toward probable internal construction and further fortification. The facility sits just 2 km south of Natanz and was originally announced as an underground centrifuge assembly complex. Israeli intelligence reportedly told the U.S. that Iran moved centrifuges and centrifuge components into Pickaxe last fall. Sen. Murphy had just returned from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and he described a war "spiraling out of control." By his account, Iran is restarting nuclear research at its Pickaxe Mountain site, which he said comes from open source reporting. On September 22, Trump said: "We may have to blow up another one, Pickaxe Mountain. We're not seeing a lot of activity there, but if we do, we'll blow it up immediately". On September 3, Trump said: "They had three sites, and now they may have Pickaxe Mountain. The three sites have been obliterated... We have cameras on every major area of the first three and we also have cameras on Pickaxe Mountain. We know everybody that walks in and walks out."

Walmart once promised a truck driver $100,000 if he stuck around for 20 years. He stuck around. He retired with $707,000. Sam Walton offered that same deal to everyone, including a lady named Gayle who started at the Owensboro store around 1981. Back then Walmart automatically dropped up to 4% of your pay into profit sharing. You put in nothing. The company funded all of it, mostly in Walmart stock, and the stock went up for 40 straight years. Cashiers and shelf stockers from that era retired with six and seven figures. As late as 2008 Walmart was still putting $724 million a year into retirement money for 839,000 hourly workers. Then in February 2011, Walmart killed it. The free money became a 401k match, which only pays if a worker making $11 an hour can spare 6% of her own check. Most can't. The savings went to quarterly store bonuses instead. So Gayle worked about 30 years under Sam's deal and 14 under the replacement. Here's the part nobody in the comments will guess. If she was enrolled early, those first three decades of stock may have quietly done more for her retirement than any party ever could. A greeter in a blue vest can be sitting on more money than her store manager. Everyone's mad about the flowers. The thing worth being mad about happened in 2011, and nobody took a photo of that.

🚨 THE US TREASURY IS ABOUT TO TAKE A HUGE GAMBLE WITH ITS DEBT. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has been trying to bring down bond yields, but the market keeps moving against him. In September, Bessent challenged bond traders, saying, "I am the house now" and "you can bet against me if you want." He increased long term bond buybacks to as much as $6 BILLION, but investors were disappointed and yields continued rising. Now the 10-year Treasury yield has reached 5.23%, while the 30-year has climbed above 5.6%, levels not seen in more than two decades. And now Citi expects Bessent to take an even bigger step. On November 4, the Treasury could announce $3 BILLION cuts to both 20-year and 30-year bond auctions, with the 20-year bond potentially canceled entirely. Instead, the US would borrow more through short term Treasury bills to reduce the supply of long term bonds and potentially ease yields. But there's a serious risk. Short term debt needs to be refinanced much more frequently, meaning the government could face even bigger interest costs if rates remain elevated. And with US national debt approaching $40 TRILLION, even small changes in borrowing costs can have enormous consequences. The Treasury may be able to reduce pressure on long term yields, but it cannot make America's debt problem disappear.

Putin told Iran the locations of our warships. Today, Trump rewarded him by lifting sanctions and allowing American dollars to fuel Russia’s war machine. Our troops are in harm’s way, and the President cut a deal with the adversary putting a target on their backs.
