ICE Remember this

State judge orders release of unredacted communication between Abbott & Musk citing the Texas Public Information Act. Abbott’s office was hiding them saying they were too embarrassing. Musk got over a billion dollar grant by donating to Abbott. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/ASR7xALgWSH

This is the woman of the week. Virginia Dillard, age 105, got herself all pretty to go vote in Texas. 💙

Ukrainian journalist Illia Ponomarenko recalls witnessing the aftermath of Russian attacks on civilians trying to flee. “Half-burnt bodies lying on the asphalt” beside the wreckage of their cars. “Something that you would expect to see in horror movies, but it's absolutely reality.”

Everyone keeps repeating Trump's claim that he didn't trade anyone for Stephen Hubbard, but on October 9 (the day he betrayed Ukraine) Trump chose not to extradite someone far more important: Mikhail Zvinchuk, who interferes in US and European democracy. emptywheel.net/2026/10/21/t...

Why voters aren't buying Trump's Bribe-a-Palooza: "he's mortgaging our future. He's mortgaging our morality." @justinwolfers.bsky.social on today's "To the Contrary" podcast.

Dictator Move of the Day.

So where are the Epstein Files?

When Trump started his war with Iran, 1,300 military family members had to flee Bahrain under missile fire. Now they can’t go back, and the Navy told them to find a new home somewhere in the US. This is the cost of a war no one planned how to end, or even properly begin.

Don’t forget, Putin is actively supporting Iran in the killing of Americans

The cost of hiring a very large crude carrier from the Gulf to Asia has risen to $1.1mm a day, up from ~$100,000 at the start of the year. Costs on other routes not directly impacted by the US-Iran war, such as the Gulf of Mexico to Asia, have also surged 400–500% y/y.

Not an exaggeration to say when authoritarian thugs distort scientific research toward their own petty or prejudiced tastes, economies suffer, national security is compromised, people die. Exact proportion of each of those consequences varies from one authoritarian state to another, but all happen

EPA allowed pesticide giant Bayer to pick from a menu of regulation options for the controversial and destructive weedkiller dicamba. Dicamba is drift prone and kills vegetation and crops for miles around fields where it is sprayed, and is linked to liver cancer and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma

NEW: Meta must pay $567 million and make changes to the way young users & teens can use its social media, after it was found liable for enabling sexual predators and pedophiles to use its platforms to engage in child sexual exploitation. Katie Phang has the latest: youtu.be/J93H2CDXp4c?...

#ProudBlue #DOOR Do you think, as Trump said, “disinfectants like bleach could be injected into the body or if UV light could be brought inside the body to "clean" the lungs and kill COVID-19,” would have worked? It was a stupid and dangerous suggestion. #INPEACH #CONVICT #REMOVE

I think @governor.ca.gov should sue Florida for trying to have a Floridian serve as Governor in AL and another extra Senator in MI, on top of the one in KS.

If Mitch McConnell could talk, he would have recorded a video message by now.

French here quotes the weirdest line of his unobjectionable piece. "The initial American strategy failed." There was no strategy, and this column doesn't describe one either. [And the global nature of this goes back to nearly the start of it, even on what is public.]

It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"

Quick, someone locate their map of the Middle East and find out where they think Iran is.

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

Today I made an unannounced visit to ICE’s facility in Scarborough, Maine. What I heard was unacceptable: no body cameras, no training, and no accountability. Johan Guerrero should be alive. Congress must act. Abolish ICE. End qualified immunity.

Another life lost. Another family and community in mourning. Residents in Biddeford, Maine have taken to the streets after ICE agents fatally shot 26-year-old Colombian man. How many more? This must end. 💔 #SheShed

How about a mid day giggle, friends?? I think we deserve one! And thats what matters🤪💯 Hope your day has been decent so far. #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

Oh, I’m sure the ICC is shaking in their boots! 😆

Sam Neill, a smoothly elegant and versatile actor whose career moved from art film to blockbuster as he dodged velociraptors in “Jurassic Park” and played Holly Hunter’s husband in “The Piano,” has died. He was 78.

If Mitch McConnell was still alive he would have already filled Lindsey Graham’s seat. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1
