🚨Ex-GOP political strategist Steve Schmidt has called for the “immediate removal” of Donald Trump’s son-in-law from “every diplomatic assignment” following an explosive report alleging that Jared Kushner secretly had access to roughly $1.75 billion in Gulf money while serving in the White House.
Watching a blade peel off a clean sheet of wood or two joints lock together with zero gap is weirdly soothing. Here is why craftsmanship hits that satisfying spot in the brain.
Well, well, well….
An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election.
This is what voter fraud looks like.
This is a disgrace, and it directly impacts our military readiness.
Some 1,300 Navy family members were evacuated from Bahrain during the Iran war. Months later, families are still displaced, separated from loved ones, struggling financially, and waiting for answers.

If you think a test for dementia is an IQ test, you have dementia.
If you don't realize you have been given a test for dementia because your physician suspects you have dementia, you have dementia.
If you think being able to tell a giraffe from a whale makes you a genius . . . you have dementia.
Sad mama dog Cora shut down in the shelter after her puppies were taken from her—until rescuers found them and brought them back. The moment she saw them again… Pure healing.

In case you forgot what a U.S. president beloved by the world looks like.
🇺🇸 🇬🇧 Live in Manchester: An Evening with President Barack Obama. The arena holds up to 23,500 people with standing room, and the event was SOLD OUT.
Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI.
Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay.
AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.
Trump wants to make sure it’s as easy as possible for his friend Putin to bomb apartment buildings and kill children. He’s not just the worst president in history, he’s the most evil person to ever serve at the highest level of government. Vote out his weak Republican enablers.
Only one Supreme Court justice has ever been impeached: Samuel Chase, in 1804.
John Roberts ruled a president is immune from prosecution for official acts. Your members of Congress can make him the second.
Prayers for Pope Leo 🙏🏽
The first American pope underwent surgery today at Gemelli Hospital in Rome to remove a cancerous growth from his right lung.
Surgeons removed the entire lower lobe of his right lung. The 90-minute procedure was successful, with no complications.
🚨 BREAKING: Inflation comes in HOT.
September inflation surged to 3.7% year over year, with core inflation also exceeding forecasts. Prices jumped 0.6% in just ONE MONTH.
Meanwhile, real earnings fell 0.5% in September.
It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40.
But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes.
It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.
Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.
Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.
This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.
NEW: Harmeet Dhillon's Civil Rights Division is trying to indict former Trump White House official Cassidy Hutchinson, a star witness before the Jan. 6 Committee.
Wrongly indicted, charges dropped, and now we learn prosecutors allegedly knew the Reflecting Pool renovation was failing and they charged David Hearn anyway.
I hope he sues their asses off.
Yes, Pete Hegseth is so incompetent that our troops go without necessary medical care, but at least they are called "warriors" now while they go untreated. So it all evens out . . .
The richest man owns X.
The second richest man owns The Washington Post.
The third and fifth richest men control Google.
The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
And the eighth richest man now owns both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
Barack Obama is back in his role as Democrats’ closer-in-chief.
He just cut ads for 24 Senate & gubernatorial campaigns—targeting races where he can help move persuadable voters.
At 57% favorability, Obama is the most popular living president.
Expect to see much more of him before Election Day. 💙
There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.
