What a shit show. Everyone could see this plan was written by the Kremlin. Adopted by Witkoff and Trump who demanded Ukraine accept it by this Thursday. After a firestorm of objections by Europe and Republican senators it appears Rubio wants to distance himself from it.

Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.
A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.
Millions of Americans face sharply rising costs for health care plans they bought through the Affordable Care Act marketplaces, unless Congress acts soon. Here's what's at stake for them. n.pr/4oqC3Al
This is the indecent where the agent rammed her with his car, pulled a gun on her, and said “do something, bitch.” He later bragged about it in text messages.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.
One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.
So it's not just Trump and Bondi running interference for pedophiles. Bessent is a key part of the Epstein coverup. I plan to seek Senate approval of my bill to force the Treasury Department to release its Epstein file in the coming weeks because we need to keep on following the money.
Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot.
We saw this same issue — voting day bomb threats — in 2024. Motive could be strategic voter suppression, but in 2024 it was likely foreign interference designed to cause mayhem and further erode trust in US election. These tactics can also provide pretext for contesting elections later.
TODAY is the first day of open enrollment in Idaho. That means people need to start choosing their health care plans RIGHT NOW.
One Idahoan who's paying $367/month will be paying a WHOPPING $2,232/month without the ACA tax credits.
We have to save the ACA tax credits.
Axios: "The most expensive political ad campaign of the year is being run by the Department of Homeland Security."
DHS has spent "at least $51 million this year on ads thanking President Trump for securing the border, according to AdImpact."
If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.
Aside from the scoop, the NY reporting team that broke this story gave a master class in how to tell it —

Incredible photo from @chicago.suntimes.com ‘s Anthony Vazquez. Pointing what looks to be a teargas launcher at someone’s head at nearly point blank range is incredibly dangerous. This is why I prefer a ballistic helmet in the field.
Trump claimed that his sweeping tariffs will “pay down” the national debt, but it is actually doing the exact opposite. The US is “going broke,” according to JPMorgan Asset Management’s chief global strategist David Kelly in a note to investors. www.thedailybeast.com/key-jpmorgan...
Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.
Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government.
They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights.
We must fight back.
We are living the 2nd govt. shutdown under trump.
In 2018, during his 1st term, came the 1st ; a 34-day shutdown, the longest in the modern era.
Watch Sen. Chris Murphy tell us why this government shutdown happened.
You might not be surprised about this, but appalled, most certainly !
The only way forward is to inflict as much financial AND publicity damage on Disney as possible as swiftly as possible. Cancel streaming subscriptions, boycott products, picket, encourage politicians and entertainment figures to shout about this from the housetops. Demonstrate the cost of cowardice.

Why?
What does this have to do with us?
What sort of foreign policy is this?
If something bad happens to a criminal Trump pal abroad, U.S. taxpayers have to pay for a war or a new tariff or some silly new overarching foreign policy agenda?
What is that?
Jocelyn Brooks pursued her dream of working in medicine after she escaped from the World Trade Center on 9/11.

US tariff revenue hit a new monthly record in August, reflecting President Donald Trump’s tariff hikes, though that still left the federal government with the third-biggest deficit on record so far this fiscal year
Whether by accident or malice - and likely intentionally - the Russians are risking a wider war in Europe. The only path to reducing such a threat is for the world to force Moscow to call off its campaign of butchery in Ukraine.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.
The system is broken.
