The Paxtons’ blind trust invested $600K in a convicted fraudster’s new company. Experts say the trust wasn’t truly blind as the Paxtons reported losses from it on their taxes. Angela Paxton also sat on an affiliate’s advisory board for several years. with @texastribune.org

That statement should be playing throughout Maine.

Talk about a fake person. Her personality is contingent on her appearance. Let that sink in. #voteblue

Wow! I was not expecting that.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who voted just after midday, faces an array of parties seeking to oust Israel's longest-serving premier from power. Opinion polls have suggested a tight race with his main rival, former military chief Gadi Eisenkot. https://to.pbs.org/4szBFmI

🚨 Retired Navy captain and Florida congressional candidate Bale Dalton on the Iran war: “We have such a clown show in the Pentagon right now.” “We're in a war with no strategic end state... that's sinking our economy and putting our servicemen and women in harm's way with no stated goal.” WATCH.

NEW: I'm in the Comey docket now. Comey petitioned the court to unseal this case, which Judge McFadden granted today. That's why we're getting this news now 1/

🚨 A bombshell new House Judiciary Democrats report details allegations from 11 women linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, including five who accuse Trump of sexual assault. The report also alleges a sweeping DOJ cover-up. We broke down the explosive findings.

“I don't know that he's going to handle the midterms well. And if they go the direction seems like they're going, he's going to get what Obama said years ago, a shellacking. I think this will be a shellacking to an even higher degree, because folks are tired of the chaos, cruelty and corruption.”

The people of Serbia celebrating the defeat of the dictator who held full authoritarian control of their country for nearly 14 years. This is what democracy looks like.

Republicans couldn't define communism with unlimited lifelines.

Guess where that money will go.

GUARDIAN: “Lula’s win is bad news for Jair Bolsonaro, who is serving a 27-year sentence for that botched power grab… also a blow for Donald Trump, the Bolsonaro clan’s most important international ally.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Folks, if you hate authoritarianism, you should be feeling good this morning. In Serbia, a student-led movement just ousted a longtime strongman, peacefully. And we Americans should be paying attention, because we have a chance in November to send a similar message. (link below)

Before the Brazilian election where progressive Lula beat right-wing Bolsonaro, Meta is accused of disrupting Lula's Insta and WhatsApp accounts Meta blamed "technical difficulties" That would be more believable if similar incidents had not happened recently in the US Tech billionaires are evil

President Donald Trump's administration is withholding records documenting the scope of his influence over management of the Kennedy Center, according to attorneys for a Democratic lawmaker challenging the Republican president's plan to close the performing arts center. https://to.pbs.org/4keEOWG

CA: their only argument is that the district court effectively denied the TRO. DOJ self directed a three hour deadline, so there's been no effective denial Bumatay: what about their arguments that the facts changed? 58/

CA: DoJ could have sent the list months ago like they did in Nevada, who concluded every single person on the list is a citizen. They didn't do that. When we got the letter about 190K, we said "send us more information". And we heard ZIP until months later after the election was already underway 57/

HAPPENING NOW: 9th Circuit Oral Arguments on DOJ's lawsuit against California voters. DOJ is arguing that there is massive amounts of non-citizens voting, and the harm is irreparable because once the ballot is separated from its envelope, you can't trace it to the voter. 1/

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...

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

Do you think that lazy guy will get out of his car and do the work?

Voting rights have been under attack across the country, but Virginia voters in this election have an opportunity to explicitly guarantee the right to vote in the state constitution. Passing Question 3 would protect democracy for all Virginians.

We need to #deportmusk. It’s inconceivable that we are not doing more to stop his interference. He is not king of the world

Three days after the August primary, election workers in one Washington county went to check for late mail-in ballots. They expected no more than a few dozen. Instead, there were more than 500 — each a vote that wouldn’t count.
