    What we’re witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

    Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

    Do you know that 1 in every 4 dollars spent with SNAP benefits goes to Walmart? 

    It knew it was a lot of money. Didn’t know it was this much.

    “For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap. There’s no way we can replace every single one of those meals. It is not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this.”

    My big takeaway from Trump’s lengthy Air Force One gaggle is that he’s talking about shredding the Constitution by being in office for a third term increasingly openly.

    If you don’t think he’ll try it, you’re in denial.

    Trump: “They have Jasmine Crockett — a low IQ person. AOC is low IQ. Have her pass the exams I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. They’re cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump. Let Jasmine go against Trump. The first couple questions are easy — a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe … ”

    When Misogyny, Racism, and Antisemitism Aren’t Deal Breakers For Your Revolution
    Posted by T.LaFauci October 27, 2025

    “Sorry, I screwed up.”

    As human beings, we often resist admitting when we’re wrong. It is a blow to our ego when we have to admit we may have made a mistake. Depending on the severity of the error, there can be repercussions, none of which are pleasant. Someone depending on us may lose confidence. It may impact our interactions with those close to us. It may take time to get back into one’s good graces. Needless to say, having to swallow our pride and apologize is one of the most difficult things that a person has to do in their everyday life.

    ………………………………….

    Understanding all this is critical to having the type of humility necessary to apologize when needed. Yes, it stings the ego to admit you were wrong. But reflecting on your error helps you grow. You take time to review the decision that was made and the process through which that decision was reached. You analyze whatever it was about that decision that didn’t pan out. While we never want to make mistakes, they often are necessary for personal and professional growth. Dealing with the aftermath of a decision that doesn’t work out is part of one’s development. It’s easy to navigate when a decision works out; it’s challenging to do it when a decision falls flat. Having the confidence to address both situations is what makes you a virtuous human being.

    Bernie Sanders has no such virtue. And because of it, he cannot admit when he is wrong.

    This past week showed us that, like Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders has such an inflated ego that he cannot admit when he has made an obvious error. When it came to light that his endorsed Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner had a Nazi tattoo, Sanders refused to withdraw his support, even though he has acknowledged Jewish heritage. When it later came out that Platner also had a history of racist and bigoted social media posts, Sanders remained in his corner. When Platner then began sending NDA’s to his campaign staff, Sanders remained resolutely by his side. By week’s end, there were very few original supporters of Graham Platner who stuck with someone who clearly wasn’t vetted before his Senate run. Bernie Sanders was one of those supporters.

    Because to withdraw support would mean that Bernie Sanders would have to apologize. He would have to admit that he was wrong and that he made a poor decision in endorsing Graham Platner. He would have to swallow his pride and shift gears to announce his support for Janet Mills, somebody he initially refused to endorse. Admitting his mistake would require Bernie Sanders to have humility.

    The strongest hurricane on record to make landfall over Jamaica was Hurricane Gilbert in 1988, a Category 4 hurricane, with sustained winds of 130 mph.

    As of Monday morning, Melissa was classified as a Category 5 storm with sustained winds of 160 mph. https://abcnews.link/Ap9BCeh

    If Obama were building a White House ballroom, Republicans would be losing their minds about how he has no respect for this country’s history. Democrats would be defending it completely. But it’s 2025, so everyone switched jerseys.

    WOAH: Trump just accidentally let it slip that he got an MRI scan at Walter Reed recently. His team claimed his visit was for a regular physical but MRI scans are not done at a routine physical. They’re for diagnosing serious conditions. Very weird…

    I can only assume that the CEOs of huge companies and leaders of foreign governments who continue to bribe Trump while getting tremendous benefits and breaks from the govt think that Republicans will stay in power forever or Democrats will forgive and forget.
