Is it ok for landlords to be elected representatives for left-wing parties?
Landlords get a bad reputation because bad actors drive the news cycle and are what generates internet traffic and thus generates profit. You only hear about the bad ones, and for the most part it's the worst ones as their story is more engaging.

UK government tells Brits to 'stock up' but not the reason why
Three days is what it would take to initially recover from a very extensive cyber attack. Just imagine the chaos created by a general outage of internet/communication infrastructure. There may be a plan for recovery, but it would take a few days to implement. This preparation would lessen the impact of the outage.

Cyberattack targets refrigerators in supermarkets across France
The connectivity allows the corporation to respond quickly to equipment malfunction. A unit malfunctions, they can assign a repair crew and have the store quickly move the product out of the unit within minutes. The flaw is on the company who makes the controllers, they failed to test how secure their units were. Connecting to the internet isn't the problem, the problem is the failure to realize the internet is not secure. I'm willing to bet there are probably more security functions on my phone than were on those refrigerator controllers.

Chick-fil-A CEO dodges questions on LGBTQ+ discrimination
It's the company's 80th anniversary this year. And the usual, the Today show producer lied about what the interview was for, and once the cameras are rolling the "gotcha" happens. The repeated harping on the same question is a clear indication this was a set-up. And the media people wonder why they are so despised.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito considering retirement
Won't matter. There are enough moderate Democratic senators to get another Trump nominee like Barrett in. While Alito backers won't like it, they are smart enough to realize that is the best they will get.

Trump Education Dept. formally removes Title IX protections for LGBTQ+ students
The Biden administration Title IX rule is one of the reasons anti-trans sentiment has grown in the US. It gave school administrators the ability to completely ignore parents' concerns and implement policies with zero parental input.

2026 US Midterms Megathread 🇺🇸 Election November 3, 2026
States decide if they will use the SAVE system to find non-citizens that are improperly registered. Most states do this because it is an easy way to keep their voter registration clean. The SAVE system has been used for years(over 40 years) for this, but was revamped by the Trump administration to use more federal government data sources. The main part that the original judge questioned when they made their initial decision was the use of the Social Security database, the most comprehensive database the government has. As far as being flawed, most cases it is people who gain citizenship and fail to inform the SSA of their change of status. Since Social Security is available no matter your immigration status, many people don't think they have to tell the SSA they are now citizens. The state runs their list through SAVE and the person gets flagged as a non-citizen.

2026 US Midterms Megathread 🇺🇸 Election November 3, 2026
I think many people forget that RCP just consolidates all polling and presents an average. If you look at the underlying polls, three of the four have Flannagan up with one tied. All have the candidate numbers well within the MOE of the poll. Makes sense to score this as a toss up at this point. Maybe the polls will firm up after the debates, if Tafoya agrees to any.

2026 US Midterms Megathread 🇺🇸 Election November 3, 2026
There isn't. The federal government has zero say as to how primaries are held. Primaries are actually run by the states at the behest of the political parties and fall exclusively under state law. Primary elections have only been around since the 1910's.
