Another grand jury has declined to serve Trump’s politicized Department of Justice - this time refusing to indict Cassidy Hutchinson over her Jan. 6 testimony. Multiple grand juries (not all - but multiple) have now refused to do Trump’s bidding. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

DHS agents took 12 minutes to decide if you're a citizen. A federal judge just shut that down. Now they can't interview anyone they know or should suspect is a citizen. The point was never fraud. It was fear, and to make you afraid to vote ahead of a midterms that Trump knows he's going to lose.

🚨BREAKING: We have moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Trump from continuing to unconstitutionally impose themselves upon election administration procedures that the Constitution and federal law assign to the States.

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...

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...

Jesus fucking Christ. Trump, Elon Musk and Congressional Republicans have become a threat to our country’s national security.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Mike Rogers’ wife is handing out $10 gas cards in Michigan while asking people to vote for her husband. Republicans made gas unaffordable. Now they’re offering $10 to keep them in power. #BlueWaveIn20Days

"In February 2024, Blanche & his partner Emil Bove — now Judge Bove — insisted that 'a fair trial cannot be conducted this year.' And yet, 22 days before the midterms, with early voting already underway in MN, Blanche’s DOJ searched a candidate’s home over paperwork a dead man filed 3 decades ago."

"Luckily Blanche suppressed his capacity for shame, and so he feels nary a twinge at staging a pre-dawn raid on a sitting member of Congress while simultaneously calling the search of Mar-a-Lago as a gross abuse of law enforcement." — @lizdye.bsky.social

This chart in this morning's NYT is awfully misleading. Suggested edits in red to avoid any confusion.

The US knows Ukrainian air defense relies on US early detection of Russian launches. Without telling Ukraine, the Trump White House (and Elon Musk's SpaceX) withheld that info and hindered countermeasures. The US just facilitated a Russian attack on Ukraine, making it more effective and deadlier.

Trump, Witkoff, Kushner, musk, are doing everything to help terrorist Russia murder Ukrainians. Siding with terrorists, restricting Starlink on top of funding genocide. This is beyond outrageous

American "free speech defenders" pressure other people not to exercise their right to free speech www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

holy shit -- a protester at the Trump rally gets physically assaulted after they interrupt the rally by a man who punches her in the face. Trump smears the protester as a "fat guy"

just a casual reminder that inciting violence against his political opponents and others he dislikes has been a core feature of Donald Trump's approach for more than a decade. It is a defining characteristic of Trump and his movement, but rarely centered as such by corporate media.

The Art of the Deal, folks. Donald is such an idiot.

Katie Zacharia’s attempts to scrub her social media history have only brought more attention to it.

Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

29. As a consequence of trade barriers, US solar module buyers are now paying more than 38 US cents per Watt, for generally worse products than free trade markets are getting for 12 US cents per Watt.

NEW: ICE flagged Zumiez, a popular skate store found in shopping malls, "for further investigation" in Pennsylvania because it supported voter outreach efforts. The streetwear brand was among hundreds of groups probed by ICE this year as part of Trump's ongoing hunt for noncitizen voters.

How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.

A former FBI agent has come forward with a claim that when U.S. Circuit Judge Emil Bove was at the U.S. Department of Justice, he directed the Los Angeles field office to illegally investigate protesters. www.law360.com/artic...

Trump & Republicans inherited an improving economy and drove it straight into a ditch. September: 29,000 jobs instead of the expected 90,000. Another 60,000 jobs vanished in revisions. Wages rose 0.1%; the worst in 5 years. They broke it. Make them own every ugly number at the ballot box.

President Donald Trump’s extreme unpopularity has the Republican Party seemingly on course for a midterm elections drubbing. For Fox News, that means it's migrant caravan time. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

Jack Smith defends his team of prosecutors: "I'm extremely proud to have worked with them, and the fact that they have been targeted illegally, lost their jobs illegally, and had their lives turned upside down by this Department of Justice is an outrage."

Jack Smith: Donald Trump preyed on party loyalty and fear. One of the reasons he [failed] is bc Republicans stood up. I personally find it hard to understand how our investigation could be viewed as partisan when our strongest witnesses were Republicans. [Names Rusty Bowers and Mike Pence.]

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Trump: Sleepy Joe Biden, have you heard of him? *a few moments later* Trump: 😴😴😴

We’ve been in a constitutional crisis since Jan. 20, 2025 and a blue wave in November won’t fix it if Trump can just ignore legislation passed by Congress.
