NEW: At least 18 voting centers in Alaska Native communities have not opened despite early voting having already started in the state last week. “There is no legal excuse for the failure to open these sites,” one state senator wrote to the Alaska elections chief.

Hungarian PM Péter Magyar: "I have just spoken by phone with the leaders of the Students List, who won the elections in Serbia, to congratulate them... I assured them of Hungary’s support. I was delighted to hear how much strength our victory in April had given them during this difficult struggle."

I don’t know how else to explain the organized behavior by establishment Dems and lower level Party leaders against Omar, el-Sayed, and Mamdani as anything except racism.

People with knowledge keep saying - in public and to me in private - that you get a pardon in this government by literally paying a bribe. I mean at some point it’s all going to come out, right?

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social

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...

He got it not long after his daughter gave Ms. Habba, a lawyer close to President Trump, an extraordinarily lucrative job.

I think Congress should ask Zuck what happened. And also what happened in Brazil. If Stephen Miller asked him to throttle it, THEN it becomes a big deal.

Mike Masnick@masnick.com

People demanding Zuck be hauled before Congress to explain why No Kings insta was suspended... how would you feel if MAGA GOP hauled MSNow execs to explain why they covered Trump the way they do? Both are editorial choices protected by the First Amendment. If this annoys you...

Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas. He wants our land, he wants our water, and he wants his own personal U.S. senator. He’s trying to buy Texas. But on November 3rd, we’ll deliver a clear message to the world’s first trillionaire: Texas is not for sale.

The private detention centers ICE contracts with to hold thousands of people — including journalists it arrests — shouldn’t be off-limits to FOIA requests. Use our action center to tell your member of Congress: FOIA should apply to private facilities.

Two back-to-back deaths in for-profit facilities contracting with ICE. These facilities are more dangerous than government ones, and are more secretive because they aren't subject to FOIA. If we can't shut them down, we can at least make them transparent. Extend FOIA to private prisons.

Crazy this is not obvious to Wall Street: every democracy saw what Musk did to Ukraine last week and confirmed security need for Starlink alternative. Those alternatives will not just serve defense needs, but also be viable commercial alternatives, crushing any hope of SpaceX's monopoly projections.

Right-wing billionaires now own the Washington Post, the LA Times, CNN, CBS News, virtually every local TV station, virtually every news radio station, most local newspapers, X, Facebook, Threads, and TikTok. (Did I miss any?) They own almost the entire information environment.

Sadly, I've been expecting this since November 2024. It's to Zelenskyy's credit that he was able to manage the orange traitor for this long. The stark reality is that Americans who continue to enable or support that traitor will have even more blood on their hands.

UNITED24 Media@united24media.com

⚡️ “I believe steps have been taken to convince Ukraine to capitulate,” Zelenskyy tells Bloomberg. “I am not saying that this is the goal our partners are pursuing. I don’t want to think that our American partners believe the war could be ended sooner at Ukraine’s expense. But that’s how it looks.”

Israeli settlers, all men, brutally attacked a US journalist, a woman, in an attempted lynching. The Israeli military provided the attackers with cover using tear gas and machine gun fire. Palestinians intervened to rescue her from being beaten to death.
