No, they were middle-aged men wearing powdered wigs, elaborately embroidered hostess jackets, silk hose, and shoes with enormous buckles and substantial heels. In other words, our Constitution was written and signed by drag queens.

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Total respect for NBC's Monica Alba, who asked Trump exactly the question he needs to answer. By refusing to answer, and attacking her, he has effectively told the world that no, sexual abuse allegations do no mean a thing to him. Imagine if she wasn't there. We'd be the poorer for it.

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

NEW: Ukrainian troops were caught off guard by restrictions on Starlink satellite internet systems that disrupted frontline operations, as Kyiv received no advance warning from its partners of a Russian missile attack on its energy facilities for the second day running, Ukrainian officials tell me.

As anger builds online against comedian Shane Gillis’ description of women as “whores” during his “Saturday Night Live” monologue, one party is staying noticeably absent from the conversation: “SNL” itself. https://cnn.it/4jYbunb

In 1987 Trump visited Moscow. Since then, "He has changed his mind about abortion and crypto, he has supported different political parties, but his dislike of America’s democratic allies and his preference for Russia have remained remarkably consistent." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

🇺🇸 Reporter: You'll concede this is war? Markwayne Mullin: We haven't declared war. They declared war on us. Reporter: The president called it war and Secretary Hegseth called it war. Reporter: When you walked up just now, you called it war. Mullin: Okay. That was a misspoke.

theatlantic.comThe MAGA Right Is Only Pretending to Be CensoredThe conspiracy theory that persists even though no evidence supports it
Nicholas Thompson@nxthompson.bsky.social

MAGA has been obsessed with proving an alleged plot by Biden officials, social-media companies, and researchers to suppress conservative speech. Jobs were lost, a center was closed, and reputations were tarnished. Now we know it was all a fiction. @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu. buff.ly/BaSs2Cr

Both Bellingcat and I were targeted specifically in this witch hunt, and they've come up with absolutely nothing, but I'm sure Matt Taibbi, Mike Benz and pals will still keep publishing their fantasies about the censorship-industrial complex rather than admitting they were wrong.

Anne Applebaum@anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu

There was no "censorship industrial compex" under the Biden administration. But the MAGA officials who continue to believe in it have done a lot of damage. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
