Here's the NYT story about how Trump is inviting Russia into AK to drill for oil. Literally selling out Alaska to Russia. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

I’m leading an inquiry of the largest social media companies on their efforts to combat the spread of fraudulent material online seeking to disenfranchise U.S. voters. At this late stage and with voting already underway, the responses we have received to date are inconsistent and inadequate.

Trump prioritizes his puppet-master Putin and Russia, whilst he oppresses Americans.
A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

A student walking to school ended up needing surgery after agents stopped the wrong person. This demands an independent investigation and accountability.

What are the chances of that?
Overall, we are seeing some very odd deal talks that are supposedly a part of ending the war in Ukraine. But in fact evidence shows these deals are structured (in the most recent case secretly until now) to financially benefit Russia or business partners of the Trump and Witkoff families.

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. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

NEW: The Trump administration committed the U.S. to taking a large stake in a Venezuelan company, some of whose owners and investors are shielded from public view. The exact details of the agreement over oil fields had remained unclear — until now.

As others have written this golf course is also a large public park w/roads, parking, and bike lanes. It is a top destination for the region's cyclists. My son used to train there. All that will be gone, and the public will lose access unless golfing. No city would ever propose a plan like this.
As inflation hits a 4-month high and the Iran war keeps driving up gas prices, Trump unveils his big plan with the midterms two weeks away: a "World Class Championship Golf Course" in D.C. Work starts Nov. 15, closing a public course for about 15 months, he says.

"The US conservative movement is engaged in a nationwide effort to reverse child-labor laws and reinstitute child labor" sounds like a crazy leftie conspiracy theory, but ... yeah. It's real.

Friday night. The time to sneak through the things you know the public will hate. Also the ones that are probably illegal and traitorous. Trump is opening the floodgates of support for the Kremlin, Putin, their illegal aggression against Ukraine...and their aid to Iran in their war against us.
BREAKING: WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump puts new Russia sanctions passed by Congress on hold, saying a waiver is in the US national interest.

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?
NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

This is one reason I've never really understood the weakness & passivity of the US political media. If I live in a system where one of two parties can only win if people believe lies, and I am in the truth-telling business, I should take the ongoing success of that party as a personal insult.

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.
Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

This is a bright red five alarm fire. We must see this as it is—as a coup d’état. They’re starting with Ilhan Omar, of course, because she’s a black female immigrant, and they perceive her as an easy target. We need to show them that there are no easy targets for fascists.
What actual DOJ weaponization looks like. We are very far off the cliff.

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it
