View of East Potomac from my flight today — spotted work crews, debris and many fewer trees than before.

Kushner also failed to disclose himself as an agent of a foreign government, having been paid nearly $2 billion in total by foreign leaders. trib.al/NPqsq5A

evening! Hegseth wants to be appointed to Blackburn’s Senate seat. anyone have any guesses as to why?

Anthropic's Claude accessed publicly available Georgia voter data without human authorization, a disclosure sure to add to growing concerns about AI security ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.

Anthropic's Claude bypassed a paywall to access Georgia voter data without authorization #Axios

We are making the oil oligarchs rich. We are making Trump and his cronies rich. It is literally at our expense every day. There’s no trickling down happening. And Trump is bragging about it knowing nobody in the Republican Party will stand up to him and say enough.

Trump must be punished for his consistent pattern of lying about elections. The impunity has to end. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/u...

The Trump administration stopped sharing evidence with Minnesota investigators probing two fatal shootings by federal immigration officers. Apparently transparency lasted right up until someone wanted the rest of the evidence. #Accountability

This was like his 3rd glitch during the speech where he just randomly stops mid-sentence and makes a weird noise or, in this case, just opens his mouth and freezes for 3 seconds while saying nothing, then continues. Pretty sad that TV networks refuse to cover this situation.

Election subversion schemes "rarely announce themselves with the clamor of an insurrection. More often, they are carried out through the subtle machinery of government: paperwork, pressure, propaganda." ICYMI @amandacarpenter.bsky.social:

The vaccine is personalized to a patient’s tumor, and results from the Phase 3 trial are yet another example of the promise of mRNA vaccines in treating cancer.

I can confirm. Indivisible Action spends about a dime of every dollar raised on fundraising costs, which is very efficient. They are a good example of what a genuine grassroots operation looks like.

Jan 2025: Trump shutters SDNY Epstein Probe Mar: 1000+ FBI agents are trained to mark Trump’s name for supervisory review May: Bondi tells Donald he’s in the files June: White House, DoJ, FBI conspire to create “case closed” memo July: Memo released Aug: Maxwell moved/sex offender status waived

News outlets are reporting that President Trump requested going to Fort Myers, Florida for his rally tonight, to specifically coincide with "Gay Day" at Walt Disney World in Orlando. #DonaldTrump #JonHusted

The allegations in the Jared story have a known true core, which was exposed in the (failed) Tom Barrack prosecution none of you know about. The prosecution was a referral from Mueller, but Barr tried to sabotage it, as he did all other referrals in summer 2019. emptywheel.net/2026/10/23/j...

What’s going on here?

Some cities it's just not worth fucking with

A Russian energy giant secretly funded an effort for an Alaska gas project. The deal has been discussed in talks to end the war in Ukraine.

Found some voter fraud. Surely Blanche will make arrests.

If he offered anything in return for the money, even just conversations with his father-in-law, then he would have violated U.S. bribery laws and the foreign agent statute. trib.al/YCI9zJM

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 is Mike Rogers’ lifestyle. How about yours?

Touché!

The Starlink system used by Ukraine’s military was suffering from low speeds limits early on Friday, despite President Trump saying that SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk had restored the service.

I spent last night writing about Trump's waterfront land grab in DC. Things are crazier than I thought, and MAGA has the National Park Service seriously gaslighting the public over it. 🧵

OPINION: A Wall Street Journal report claims that Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of Starlink services to Ukraine. #ElonMusk #Ukraine #Starlink

"The court has kind of blinded itself to the very deleterious effects of their rulings on how the political system works. It has created a democracy that does not work as well as it should.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

10/21 Senator Susan Collins will campaign Wednesday with an advisor to the private equity firm that shut down Bucksport, Jay mills, former West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin #maine #MEpolitics

Susan Collins and Joe Manchin posing with a guy at left who used the same sword to try to intimidate Somali-Americans in Lewiston (tinyurl.com/x489mum6). Absolutely vile stuff. (He's employed by the Leonard Leo-sponsored disinformation outlet to which Susan Collins is also a donor.) #MEpolitics

Ramaswamy is a sick, morally bankrupt piece of shit exploiting a woman’s rape at age 12 to win an election. He gave her estranged, abusive mother a platform to weaponize her childhood trauma. There is something profoundly fucking wrong with this man. He has no business holding public office. 🤬

This is asking for a lawsuit. Wow.

TikTok has permanently suspended Bleecker Street's account, the film distributor overseeing Alex Gibney's documentary re Elon Musk. The wealthy and the powerful will always step on you and your freedoms. Always speak truth to power and watch Alex Gilbney tell the truth re Musk.

Half the grocery store has been recalled. Measles deaths are at a 35-year high. And Susan Collins still doesn’t regret voting to confirm RFK Jr. Vote her out.

Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years. It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress.

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

Democrats' plans to investigate Trump could hit a wall nobody expected: report #RawStory

Billionaires know just how they want Supreme Court justices to rule—and are spending big to tell them

These are reasonable and they absolutely should be thought through carefully, but all such negatives have to be weighed against assessment of how bad the current Court is. It’s possible to concede essentially all the downsides and still conclude it’s the lesser evil because the status quo is worse.

“You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.” These are some of the people you can fool all of the time.
