I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.
Everyone who cares about ethics, science, and babies should read this article re unethical researchers with a track record of being against vaccines teaming up with RFK Jr (well known anti-science, anti-vaccine person of questionable integrity) taking advantage of people in a low resource country.
How could atrocities like the Tuskegee Experiment been allowed to happen?
Thanks to MAHA, and reporters like @katherineeban.bsky.social and @melodyschreiber.com, none of us have to wonder such things anymore.
My latest.
There's so much to unpack but I want to focus on one detail I don't see anyone else pointing out: She spends time conscientiously citing how they didn't use AI "to make people say things they didn't say" while glossing over how they used AI to make people DO things they DIDN'T DO. That's not better.

The House Judiciary Committee Democrats have released a report containing testimony from 11 women regarding allegations of sexual assault, including a new rape allegation, against President Trump in relation to Jeffrey Epstein that the lawmakers say has been deliberately covered up by the DOJ.

Woah - boards of service in the Marines and the Navy are ignoring Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth's order to purge transgender troops from the military. "Navy and Marine Corps boards have voted to retain trans members in nine of 12 cases." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...
70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language.

"The U.S. military over-relied on AI for targeting in Iran and as a result bombed an elementary school, killing over 100 children. We have disturbing testimony from Israeli military officers that AI target selection made them feel morally absolved when they killed civilians."
Now. Here's the thing. When your government gives you a Snitch-Line for supposed fraud, it is both your civic and your moral duty to flood that line with the most glorious, nonsensical bullshit you can dream up. Snitch-lines are an absolute insult to human dignity, and should be treated as such.

There's no doubt that @aoc.bsky.social has changed the trajectory of American politics. Grateful to have her with us on the ground across Michigan to strengthen our movement to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All.
Deeply anti human strain of politics in both parties. It seems the only thing american politicians learn is how to toss vulnerable groups of people overboard when they deem it politically expedient.
In a major escalation in Dems embracing anti-trans positions, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the official campaign arm of House Democrats, released its first anti-trans ad supporting Nancy Lacore in SC-01.
Transphobia is spreading among dems.

AG TODD BLANCHE: Yes, of course. It is not DOJ's intention to improperly interfere with elections or the state certification process, but ...
Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

It stated the ban was "unjustified and disproportionate discrimination."

Elon Musk, Donald Trump's largest financial backer, threatens US elected officials against launching investigations into Starlink/Ukraine sabotage, federal contracts, DOGE actions, and other potentially criminal issues.
"Live by the sword, die by the sword," the billionaire said.
Elon Musk ordered restrictions on Ukraine’s military satellite communications, according to officials. The slowdown disrupted Ukrainian interceptor drones, Trump and Pentagon deny ordering it, while Ukrainian officials say restrictions remain in place.
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) called for a congressional probe, witnesses under oath, and stated that if Musk directed the slowdown it was “likely a violation of the law” because Starshield is a U.S. government-controlled military system, not a pure commercial one. He noted it “costs human lives.”
