I really think everyone needs to pay attention to this coordinated campaign to delegitimize Muslim Americans - not just as citizens but as humans. These increasingly hysterical attacks are a prelude to Republicans bringing us to a very, very dark place after the election.

* HASSETT: THE AFFORDABILITY CRISIS IS A MYTH @bloomberg.com

While you pay more for gas at the pump, Donald Trump and the oil and gas industry are profiting “hundreds of billions, trillions.”

It's time for a change. Vote for leaders like @abdulelsayed.bsky.social and @jocelynbenson.bsky.social who will work every day to make this country better.

Our favorite quote from last night! Obama really roasted Trump, and it was glorious.

Abdul El-Sayed didn’t think he had a chance in politics. Encouragement from Bill Clinton and the success of Barack Obama offered a different story. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social

🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”

West Bank…

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

Heads up. A Senate bill being sold as “permitting reform” could seriously weaken protections for our public lands, clean water, historic places, and sacred Tribal sites. S. 5653, the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act, would narrow environmental reviews and

Here's how private equity killed your local mall.

Our foreign service is supposed to transcend admins. That's why we have career officials to maintain the continuity of American diplomacy regardless of who is in the White House. The State Dept's reported move to withhold promotions from applicants who didn't vote for Trump only makes us less safe.

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...

Mike Rogers became chairman of the House Intel Committee. Months later, his wife's defense contracting firm landed a billion-dollar government deal. As the couple's wealth grew, so did questions about the arrangement. @timmiller.bsky.social walks @adamkinzinger.substack.com through the timeline.

“.. the internal, taxpayer funded USDA account Trump is tapping doesn’t actually have enough $$ in it right now to make the direct payments. Congress will have to approve the new funds .. or the admin will have to take it from another program ..” www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Even aside from the legal issues, do we really need another “exclusive” golf course at the expense of a muni that’s affordable for kids and seniors? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/18/u...

Donald Trump should never play politics with Illinoisans' homes, businesses, and infrastructure. Our people are incredibly resilient, but our state should not have to face this recovery alone.

JD - I've got 15 free minutes before my son's hockey practice ends, so let me see how many of Trump's enrichment schemes you didn't see that I can remind you of. 1/ First one is easy: Trump has executed over 30,000 stock trades, many on inside information, netting him millions.

In a classified briefing, a DoD official revealed to Senators how much Iranian attacks on U.S. bases have cost us. Now, I'm calling for the DoD to make that number public. Americans deserve to know how much of their money is being burned on Trump's war with Iran.

When I was practicing I was involved in thousands of hearings I can't recall even one that went anything like this Judges are starting to understand that the so-called movement Trump burped out in 2015 was intended to destroy the justice system by destroying the norms of legal advocacy and ethics

Latest post looks at the consequences of Trump’s disastrous war with Iran. Not only is Iran keeping oil prices high, but Saudi Arabia now faces a strategic predicament as it struggles to cope with the resurgent Houthis without much help from the US.

When Democrats take the House and Senate, they MUST excise Elon Musk and his companies from the US government Then they must investigate DOGE, X, Starlink, and his interference in our elections He must be under oath-so that in 2028, with a Democratic president, he might face criminal charges

Two babies died. An 18-year-old with measles died from a rare complication that caused inflammation in the brain. At least six infants have been born infected with measles. There’s no way to predict which kids will get hit hardest.

BREAKING: The order to limit a satellite system used by Ukraine for battlefield communications and drone operations came from inside the White House, per Reuters

The amount of insider trading and corruption in this administration is breathtaking. And when they are not engaged in it themselves, they turn a blind eye to others who are. All of this raises the price that ordinary families have to pay for food, gas and medicine. It is the cost of corruption.

No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.

Byron Donalds is pro data centers. So is his stock portfolio.

NEW: The Congressional watchdog released a report on Trump’s dangerous cuts to HUD, the federal agency where Americans go for help with their housing. The verdict: illegal funding delays, huge staff cuts leaving phones unanswered, and civil rights falling by the wayside.

I cannot understand how anyone would sign up for Starlink when Elon could decide to control your access to the internet and its services on a whim.

Ken Paxton skipped 730 workdays as Attorney General, often traveling to luxury resorts. He left a combined two years empty on his calendar.

Walmart is the largest private employer in America, yet 16,055 of its employees were on Medicaid in just 6 states, and 15,515 were receiving food stamps in 9 states. Mostly red states. And those aren’t even national totals. #RepublicanAffordabilityCrisis

Any single individual having this amount of influence in our elections does not lead to a healthy democracy. It doesn’t matter if they are supporting Democrats or Republicans. We need a serious effort at campaign finance reform and have to overturn the Citizens United decision.

Russia has had the same leaders for 26 years. Why hasn’t Trump ever called for a new Russian president?

Russia may intensify its attacks on Ukrainian civilians as Trump eases sanctions. This could be part of a broader US-Russian effort to pressure Ukraine into surrendering territory during future negotiations. A strategy used by Israel and Assad, max pressure through massacres.

Austin Davis, 26, has become a lifeline for some homeless families in the Phoenix area who’d otherwise wait months for shelter. His work has highlighted how the system to care for local families who are homeless is failing them.
