It was disappointing that @60minutes.bsky.social, with all its resources and expertise, broke zero new ground on the Tina Peters story. The report was just a repetition of what local journalists reported long ago.

Christian nationalism doesn't need to become a full-blown theocracy to be dangerous. When government promotes Christianity in schools and uses religious beliefs to restrict our rights, the threat is already here. We must fight back before it becomes the norm.

A report released Monday by Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee on President Donald Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein included new details from a young Swiss woman raped by Trump in an Atlantic City hotel room in 1993, whose meeting was arranged by Jeffrey Epstein. time.com/article/2026...

Good win. We're going to have to run the table with these lawsuits, which will come fast and thick as we approach the election and for weeks after.

BREAKING WaPo: Brazil's right-wing Flávio Bolsonaro just effectively conceded defeat to the incumbent left-wing president — minutes after Trump indicated he would not intervene on his behalf.

Before publishing a tough book about Trump, Bob Woodward called Bezos to warn him. “Don’t worry, I have your back, Bob,” Bezos said. “I’ll always have your back.” Always turned out not to be as long as it used to be. Takeaways from Woodward's new memoir. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

Lina Khan on Mamdani: "One thing we saw the mayor be very attentive to is all sorts of daily nickel and diming -- taking on junk fees, subscription traps. Those can seem very micro and targeted, but in the aggregate I see those as really designed to take on unfair methods of competition."

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Looks like one can pre-order the Musk movie on Apple+ and that’s good because there are only 2 theaters within 25 miles of Los Angeles where one watch Alex Gibney scoop out Elon Musk’s tender guts one disgusting teaspoon at a time. tv.apple.com/us/clip/musk...

This analysis is correct.

Trump said he had to takeover Greenland to keep China and Russia out. And then he snuck Russia onto the North Slope. Literally just ... inviting them in. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

The Economist, today, describes a White House filled to the rafters with idiots and imbeciles

To appreciate this, you need to understand that Anna Paulina Luna replaced Dana Rohrabacher as the Kremlin's favorite member of Congress. Her press statements often read like a retransmission station for Radio Moscow. And these contracts constitute a grave national security risk.

More than one million Lula supporters rally on eve of Brazilian election ... Lula!

Trump's closer: let's build all those data centers that I and my sons have heavily invested in. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This chart about data center construction blew my mind. Watch.

Three days after the August primary, election workers in one Washington county went to check for late mail-in ballots. They expected no more than a few dozen. Instead, there were more than 500 — each a vote that wouldn’t count.

Actually, Todd Blanche, President Trump has twice stated at campaign rallies that he instructed you to file this suit to help ensure that Dan Sullivan would be reelected. This is one more reason why you are likely to be disbarred after the Disciplinary Committee is acquainted with all the facts.

What’s going on between Trump and Putin? Why are they calling each other humanitarians? I explain why that’s the the point and the flattening of language and words under authoritarians.

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

This little girl just tapped into her magic and got the seal to perform tricks just for her. Original post

Tucker Carlson is an “old friend” of Peter Thiel puppet JD Vance. Carlson’s media company received $15 million from 1789 Capital, a Thiel network VC firm where Trump Jr. is a partner. The “conversion” narrative is theater—superficial distancing/dissonance—not disagreement. A succession strategy.

Sternenko is a credible person. Elon Musk has been found to have a pathological disregard for the truth and repeatedly gives perjured testimony under oath. Who would you believe? In any event, the truth is easily discernible through objective means.

If you encounter ICE, here's what every New Yorker should know.

Ronan Farrow reported in a 2023 New Yorker piece that the Pentagon signed a contract to keep Musk from cutting off Ukraine’s battlefield connectivity at will. Colin Kahl described it as a way to lock in service so Musk couldn’t just flip the switch, considering Musk's known antipathy towards Ukraine

Ohio! I’m heading to Cleveland for a rally to support @amyactonoh.bsky.social and @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social. Make sure you have a plan to vote: IWillVote.com/OH

Here's how private equity killed your local mall.

This is explosive. In the Witkoff/Kushner discussions with the Kremlin with respect to the sale to a Trump-backed consortium of LUKoil's foreign assets, Trump has offered a slice of his big Alaska project to a Russian major close to Putin. The structure is designed to entangle US investments

The whole role of Rupert Murdoch TV as a fount for fact-free partisan political disinformation is really amazing. As reported in media around the world, Pope Leo placed calls to Putin and Zelenskyy and got them to agree this ceasefire for relief to the encircled city.

Fake ladies and real threats - Brazil is on the front lines of the technofascist wars. Pay attention... @astra.bsky.social @democracynow.org

Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason. He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.

Trofimov is correct: the key takeaway from the FT's blockbuster story is that the Trump family and cronies were exercising direct private control over this massive Alaska project, and they were using that control to benefit the Kremlin. Plain as day. But NYT couldn't understand what was happening.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Mary Peltola's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Elias Law Group has filed to fight DOJ's lawsuit to rig the Alaska Senate election. We will win this case, Mary will win this election, she will be certified and seated.

Jon Husted gave data center corporations $2.5 billion in sweetheart tax breaks to bring over 220 data centers to our state. In return, data center interests have donated over $630,000 to the Husted campaign.
