Astonishing: Maxwell was willing to tell Blanche about some of Trump's rapes, and he ordered her not to. "Let's not talk about inviduals." WTF were they there to talk about? There's EVIDENCE on this.
This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

$446 million of his (sometime) reported net worth of $1 trillion means he’s still only spending 0.0446% of his net worth to try to buy elections. put in more concrete terms: if you had $100, this would be like spending less than 5 cents. now tell me again why i should vote against a wealth tax.

in case you’re wondering how the vivek campaign is responding to the uproar (from even some republicans) over this, he’s now not only owned it, he’s done a $4 million ad buy to be sure MORE voters see a woman who stayed married to her daughter’s rapist calling her a liar

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...

A trillion dollars in interest expense — in one year. And a 100 basis-point rise across the yield curve would drive up 2027 interest costs by another $310 billion. “A snowballing of debt.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Trump just waived all sanctions on Russia in the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia Act, just as I and others warned. Trump’s latest surrender to Putin again betrays our Ukrainian partners and defies clear congressional intent of legislation passed to punish Russia for its illegal war of aggression.
Trump order just issued from the White House: “I am hereby waiving the application of such sanctions, restrictions, and duties [on Russia] provided for in the Graham Act.” www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Trump says he brought in “$21 trillion” of investment vs. “less than $1 trillion” under Biden. Actual business investment: $14.5 trillion under Biden, $6.7 trillion so far under Trump. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart

With Paxton so much in the news, I keep thinking about a story I wrote for The New Yorker years ago about how Texas, a state where gambling is illegal, has so many thriving poker rooms. He found a way to not get involved & then collected campaign donations. www.newyorker.com/sports/sport...

"The dog ate my briefing materials."
lol -- Zacharia suggests her briefing was a disaster bc it was in the morning & day before was a holiday "Typically briefs are in afternoon where the press sec has ample time to be briefed. This was a very different intake. And the briefing materials got to me evening before bc it was a holiday..."
