Administration has a real data manipulation problem: - DHS exaggerates immigrants who’ve left US - Patel's FBI pads crime stats - IRS hides tax cut data until after midterms - Census excludes immigrants www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Ireland has some responsibility on this. One of the greatest contributions we could be making to collective EU & global democracy & security (far more useful then disastrous attempts to remove the triple lock) would be having the courage to step up to our role as digital regulator in a serious way.

A masterful and nauseating summary of where we are.

A man was fatally stabbed at a D.C. jail Sunday, according to police and the city’s Department of Corrections. It marks at least the third stabbing in the facility this month, according to data reviewed by The Post.

China’s Communist Party is gathering for its most important meeting of the year: the fifth plenum. Xi Jinping’s leadership purges and efforts to tighten party control are set to take center stage. Here’s what to watch for ⤵️

It should have been all over when he said, “find 11,780 votes.”

Seems fairly obvious this is a must do when you read the sentence aloud, “Lawmakers in the U.S. from both parties have called for a formal probe into Musk and SpaceX over alleged unilateral changes the company made to its services in Ukraine.”

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

President Trump temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether. Our investigative reporter Eric Lipton explains how corporate interests took power inside the EPA. Read more: nyti.ms/4il3336

🇺🇸 The US has restored full-fledged intelligence to Ukraine and lifted restrictions on Starshield, Zelensky said. At the moment, the only issue remaining unresolved is the air defense shortage.

There were a few local stories. Ballots found w/ stolen mail in a dumpster in Seattle (easily remedied, unlikely to be politically motivated), and an offer by Gov. Ferguson to deploy National Guard troops to protect election infrastructure (stirring lots of suspicion). www.cip.uw.edu/2026/10/24/e...

On Tues, Wedgewood Polls confessed that polling data it had been publishing since June was fake. The news sparked criticism, then was quickly amplified (by rw influencers), then wrapped into speculative rumors (right & left) & conspiracy theories around "fake polls". www.cip.uw.edu/2026/10/23/f...

Our research team is doing real-time coverage of emerging news and rumors related to election integrity. We put out several outputs this week. Several of the rumors we covered are still percolating. Some of the stories may become seeds for conspiracy theories later in the cycle. Some highlights...

It’s all about corruption in this final push before the midterms. The striking findings from the @financialtimes.com’s survey echo @cnbc.com’s final All-America Economic Survey, too, where voters pointed to corruption as one of the top issues facing the country right now www.cnbc.com/2026/10/23/c...

Demetre Daskalakis, CDC’s top immunization official, resigned in 2025 to protest Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., then became one of his loudest critics. The shift might seem like a retreat from the national stage. Daskalakis sees it differently.

Republicans clash over Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad Republicans simply cannot get on the same page regarding Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad.

this is total gobbledygook? the process to decide who should be certified as the winner is the election, and there is no federal law that says the courts get to decide who that is.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

West Virginia officials didn’t consult residents or officials on their proposal to host a “Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campus” for the Trump administration. What happened in the state left communities bewildered and the nuclear waste problem unresolved. https://wapo.st/47viZuG

Vivek Ramaswamy & JD Vance are nothing but two pieces of shit living in the Republican toilet!🗳️💙🗳️ With no ideas to run on, no accomplishments beyond “We made everything more expensive!”, Republicans hatched a plan: Let’s just be the most wretched versions of ourselves… apple.news/AEgv3Z9bFREm...

Yeah o think this is a conscious choice. Vance is very bad at politics but his statements on the ad speak also to his beliefs “Unlike this woman complaining about rape men are here to govern”

Fascinating that as even as other Republicans who long ago sold their souls to MAGA still have enough baseline political acumen to see how poisonous this is, Vance is completely oblivious. It isn't just that he has no principles, decency, or moral compass, he's also really fucking bad at politics.

MAJOR UPDATE: Shortly after this published, I obtained another document confirming this will be a removal flight only. If carried out, it would be the largest third-country removal to Africa so far: 25 people to Eq. Guinea, 30 to Burundi + 100 to Central African Rep. prospect.org/2026/10/21/i...

Trump opened a hotline to report people who defraud the government. Meanwhile, he's pardoned 70+ fraudsters — including a nursing home owner who stole $1.3B+ from Medicare and Medicaid. Many pardons only came after their family members gave to Trump's Super PAC. Hello?
