I saw Musk, Alex Gibney's documentary, yesterday afternoon. This is easily the most important documentary of the last decade. Watching it reminded me that over the last decade, exactly two publications have done a stand-up job of covering Musk: WSJ and Wired. The balance of US media has been AWOL.
Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far.
I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives.
I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent.
Go vote like we’re down 3%.
Abdul El-Sayed: "I get that the president of the United States takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's a shared name from the Saudis, who are funding his son-in-law's private equity."
Senator Ossoff led an investigation into Fort Gordon housing in 2022. #SupportTheTroops

10/26 The home heating oil industry has given Senator Susan Collins’s re-election efforts almost $242k this cycle. The cost for a gallon of heating oil in Maine hit a record $6.04 last week. #maine#MEpolitics
Three moments broke Trump 2.0:
1) Kimmel and other attempted censorship after Charlie Kirk. Made public see the attack on speech.
2) Minnesota anti-ICE protests, Goode and Pretti killings. Made public see the attack on rights.
3) Iran war. Made public see bad foreign policy affects them directly.
I do think when historians look back the period the exact moment where it flipped and started going the other way won’t be anything any politician did but my Minneapolis neighbors weathering the worst of the regime in the streets, rallying together, fighting back, and winning
Ohio’s biggest newspaper broke its own rules to endorse Amy Acton, calling Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad disqualifying.
“Using childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it crosses a line Ohioans should defend, whatever their party.”

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.
Based on WSJ sources, Trump administration officials are reportedly floating former Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán for UN secretary-general, potentially backed by the US, Russia and China.
Jeffrey Sterling, ex CIA: The military is punishing Maj Watson while claiming to follow the very rules that forbid it. Art. 13 of the UCMJ says no one being held for trial may be punished, and that pretrial confinement may be no 'more rigorous than the circumstances require to insure his presence'.
I can save you some time. He doesn't name ONE SINGLE ISSUE. When asked to name what people are concerned about, he's got NOTHING. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
U.S. citizen Ricardo Gonzalez was brutally detained by ICE in Long Beach while he yelled for help and said his arm was broken. This is a pattern of abuse and violence from ICE. No one is safe and our communities are being terrorized. We need ICE out.
JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story.

This is the kind of deal the Democrats need to investigate immediately if they take Congress. An oil deal in Alaska which actually might be a gift to the Russians with Trump involvement.

Mark Carney on Elon Musk crippling Ukraine’s Starlink:
“I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision… against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of its citizens against naked aggression."
Newsom: They were licking the boots of Putin… calling him a humanitarian. “Thank you so much for taking someone off the streets, incarcerating them illegally, holding them hostage, and then using them as a bargaining chip so that we can continue to make more money”
Ukraine reported Starlink problems Friday, losing drones and limiting strikes on Russia. Thursday, Trump claimed Musk had restored service. Friday, he admitted he hadn’t even spoken to Musk.
🚨 NEW: Mary Peltola reacts to the Trump DOJ's lawsuit targeting Alaska's election results, calling it a “desperate attempt to silence Alaskans.”
“This is exactly the kind of corruption that Alaskans are sick and tired of.”
Trump and Musk are just stringing Ukraine along and letting Russia attack it with impunity. And the American press is foolishly falling for blue smoke and mirrors, arguing whether Musk or Trump are responsible.
Hint, they both are!
🚨BREAKING: Shortly after the Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Alaska to preemptively challenge the results of the state’s U.S. Senate race if the Republican loses, President Donald Trump said he ordered the dangerous lawsuit. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
My take at Cato on why DOJ's lawsuit against Alaska is borderline frivolous, abusive, contemptuous of federalism and more. "In the aftermath of the 2020 election, courts made clear that they would not allow meritless litigation to steal an election. They may soon have to make that clear again."
NEW: Elon Musk invests about $1 billion in Skydance that owns CBS news and CNN. The goal of course is for Musk to have domination of the social media and legacy media. Musk must be stopped. He's a threat to our nation and the world. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/22/e...

The time to determine whether Dan J. Sullivan Jr. could appear on the Alaska ballot for U.S. Senate was months ago, and Alaska courts did so.
What's additionally batshit about this is that the candidates' names are printed on the ballot in a way which makes abundantly clear who's who.
Breaking news: The Justice Department has moved to preemptively block certification of the results of Alaska’s Senate race if Republican incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan loses his tight race against Democrat Mary Peltola next month.
All these so-called “independent” Republicans will go right back to voting for Johnson as speaker, confirm every Trump nominee, vote with Trump on everything, and continue doing zero oversight on his corrupt regime. A vote for any one of them is a vote to continue all of that.
