US executives quit as Trump turns control over massive Alaska energy project to Putin underlings. The former chief executive of a $25bn US gas export venture says Russian energy giant Novatek was given control of the project by Trump, triggering a mass resignation of company leadership

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...

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)
Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

What Sikorski says is true and most Americans don't believe it because they're received a steady drip feed of rubbish about Ukraine for years from US corporate media. bsky.app/profile/noth...
Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski: basically calling Trump a liar. “The US no longer finances this war since January of last year. In other words, for more than a year and a half. The US has not contributed a single cent to the defense of Ukraine. We are doing it. Europe.”

Could this be another job for Kushner and Witkoff? Trump builds the best walls. He’d probably be happy to help. www.reuters.com/world/putin-...

For Trump an insurrection was just a warm up. Then he got wars going and now trying to incite a civil war. This Just In: Republicans Say Nothing
"What Trump is doing now is next level. He’s not just attacking Somali residents. Rather, he’s calling for Minnesotans to attack them as well. And of course, it’s all based on absolute lies." — @snipy.bsky.social

Trump said whoever doesn’t call AI ‘SI’ is an enemy. But SI will always be Sports Illustrated to me. My interview for SI in 2017 with the mother of Bruce Maxwell, the first MLB player to take a knee to protest police brutality against Black people. www.si.com/mlb/2017/10/...

#Stravinsky plays #Stravinsky Piano Sonata (1924) I'll skip my usual warnings. You already know if you like Stravinsky or not. His playing here... is... fascinating... a wow. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OQ9...

How nice for them. Next question: which act of Congress authorized this expenditure of federal funds? Quaint it may be, but our constitution forbids drawing funds from the treasury except pursuant to acts of congress.
Relative got a $500 check from US Treasury and a shocking letter full of lies signed by Trump and ending with "May God bless you". Basically a pre-electoral bribe. News reports say they're sending almost a million of these. Full text in alt below. (I told him to cash it quick before it bounces.)

I admit it. This made my jaw drop. This total piece of shit has the audacity to try to mansplain what happens in a woman’s mind. To a woman. In an interview. That will be seen by everyone. I’m taking a break now to indulge in at least 5 full minutes of revenge fantasies.
Samuel Alito: We won't overturn Obergefell because it's engendered reliance interests. Jan Crawford: Well, many people had organized their lives around Roe v. Wade. Alito: No, they didn't. Women merely had an "abstract" interest in "ideas about the kind of society that they were going to live in."
Anytime I’ve had more than my fill of reading about the Trump led international crime organization, I have to go check @twistopherrobin.bsky.social to find humanity.
Though I couldn’t be any more disgusted. I was wrong. anneapplebaum.substack.com/p/who-is-ame...
