A reminder, because it is almost that time of year:
More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe...
If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe.
If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.
Katie Johnson, 13, reported Epstein and Trump argued over who would take her virginity, and Epstein became angry and violently raped her when he learned that Donald Trump had done so. As shown by official FBI interview notes, Johnson, through her attorney, reported these alleged crimes to the FBI.
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.
A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan.
He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.
Trump: "Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"
[Rapoport] Eagles plan to activate TEs Eli Stowers and Grant Calcaterra from Injured Reserve to play in tonight’s game, sources say.
Their second rounder has been on IR with hamstring and quad injuries, while Calcaterra has been dealing with a back injury. twitter.com/RapSheet/sta...
Bolsonaro had corrupt media on his side, Meta interference on his side, US propaganda operations, and his party's officials actively sabotaging public transport in Lula strongholds to prevent turnout.
Yet he was still beaten by the power of voter turnout.
Despite orders for polls to remain open for an extra two hours, results are already coming in, including from states with the strongest evidence of voter suppression, like Bahia. This will be a long night. What is happening is an unprecedented crime against democracy in Brazil.
More shocking displays by Bolsonaro supporters in the last 24 hours: voters wearing T-shirts that say “long live fascism,” doing a Nazi salute when entering the polls, and a white man walking a Black man on a chain at a pro-Bolsonaro gathering in Rio de Janeiro.
Everything is delayed by two hours as courts extended voting after complaints of blocked public transit by Bolsonaro supporters, and worries about bad weather. www.bbc.com/news/live/cm...
Not to ruin anyone’s Sunday afternoon, but Brazilians are voting for president today. We’ll start getting returns at 4pm ET, and, based on the results of the first round it’d be a clear surprise if Lula survives against Bolsonaro — even if polls have tightened in the last two weeks.
Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

President Obama: Correct
I think of this every time Question 3 supporters say Question 3 is a solution to our lack of contested State House races. Nothing in Q3 helps change a one-candidate race to a two-candidate race, but it does make it harder to recruit candidate #2 by pushing up the cost and time commitment of running.
NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads?
Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them.
The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything.
Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.
Trump calls for Ilhan Omar to immediately resign & says, "please inform our great Speaker, James Michael Johnson that the Democrat Party has conceded her seat ... she will not be allowed to me a member of that body any longer"
Trump's crowd in Iowa then starts chanting "Lock her up! Lock her up!"
The Israeli Foreign Ministry is lying.
No coordination was required, and we were never told that it was. We were not in a restricted security area. We did not pass any checkpoints.
A Florida man was found dead in his home during a welfare check in July 2022. Weeks later, one of the officers who discovered his body moved into the home and spent years impersonating him, according to investigators.
Worth watching this emerging story: Wedgewood Polls alleged to be fake; has been picked up & amplified/integrated by established sources & other pollsters; may be tied to prediction market trading; is likely to throw doubt upon current poll numbers (which will feed "rigged election" rumors later).
After Median Strategies' fake polls and Wedgewood Polls rumors, I started collecting data to study how "real" versus "fake" polls affect election-market prices on Polymarket. Was hoping to have until after the election to finish the preprint...but some preliminary analysis:
I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee).
But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.
YIKES -- Trump loses his shit at a reporter for the third time during this Q&A -- "Wait wait -- Quiet. Quiet!!!! What's wrong with you? Are you a SICK person?"
Reporter: Macron is blaming the Iran war and you for the rioting in France--
Trump: I think that's fake news. Who are you with?
Reporter: The Daily Wire
Trump: Oh. The Daily Wire's good. Sorry
Elon Musk’s Trump investment is paying off. “US warns of 'devastating' retaliation over EU plan to curb Starlink spectrum access” 10/18/26 … 1/ app.dealroom.co/news/note/us...
Zelenskyy: "If the United States supports Putin, it's unbelievable, it's a tragedy. It's a historic mistake. If United States officially takes the side of Russia, of course we will not prevail and we will not be able to stand."
Simply put.
We'll likely see Trump and Putin agree to a fake "armistace deal" in the next week or so, aimed at saving midterm elections. Putin is now milking Trump for maximum concessions before agreeing, with Trump piling on the gifts.
Turning off Starlink was to ensure that if..
The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.
