First Musk said he did not disable Starlink for Ukraine. Now he's confessing to disabling it but says he was justified in doing so. Congress, if you can hear me, we need hearings when Dems take over. www.cnn.com/2026/10/25/e...

Very glad to hear that Elon Musk is a stickler for details on contractor – government relationships. Could come in handy later.
Musk said he restricted Starlink in Ukraine- causing fast moving drones to lose connectivity - and that he had every right to do so because of some terms of service or contract that he didn't show us. (He didn't address suddenly doing this with no warning to Kyiv.) www.cnbc.com/2026/10/24/u...

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Flávio Bolsonaro calls for Brazil's election results to be "annulled" after a loss to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Trump's approval rating is 30-33%. But if only 55% of the population votes, MAGA will still win. We need AT LEAST 80% of the population to vote. And they need to do so for the next 10 elections. That's the ONLY way we fix this. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

This is Rep. Andy Harris, a Republican from Maryland’s Eastern Shore. This fall, voters can approve a constitutional amendment letting Democrats draw a new map that dismantles Harris’ district — potentially giving them an extra U.S. House seat. Here’s how: https://demdock.com/3VFD3YC

Happy Crock of Shit Day! A year ago today, the federal government was hard at work committing prosecutorial misconduct to secure the wrongful indictment of myself and five others. Time flies.
Grand juror: "Are you actually presenting any new actual facts …?" Mecklenburg: "Are you going to be able to listen with an open mind?" Grand juror: "I heard this case like last week and I thought it was a crock of shit."

While we don’t have a smoking gun yet, there is reason to believe that earlier this year the Trump admin ordered USCIS to arbitrarily cap the number of immigrants who can become citizens each month. Backlogs in the naturalization process are now skyrocketing.
Monthly naturalization approvals fell sharply from an average of 70,000 per month in 2024–2025 to roughly 22,000 per month. USCIS reported a pending backlog exceeding 742,000 naturalization cases. www.npr.org/2026/10/13/n...

Let me be specific: Donald Trump is an f-ing traitor. He is in cahoots with Putin and Russia to break our democratic ally, Ukraine, which makes all of us less safe. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/w...
