El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

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.

I don't know that there is a template or a "secret sauce" or a clear-cut lesson to take from this. But if there is one it's the idea of treating social media as the hostile territory that it is, of actually acting like you are a participant in propaganda warfare and not like a consumer.

“The Department of Justice is putting its formidable thumb on next week’s elections in a way that seems clearly intended to call into question the legitimacy of any result that is especially unfavorable to Republicans—before those results have even come in.” Me on DOJ’s California and Alaska suits:

Anthony Davis on why some Trump supporters refuse to abandon him, even as his approval rating falls to record lows. “Admitting that a long-held political stance was mistaken requires accepting that years of defense, personal friction, and social conflict were based on a flawed premise.”

I have yet to see a Muslim politician trying to force their religion on the rest of America. Know what I have seen? Christian politicians repeatedly pushing their religious beliefs into our laws, our schools, and our personal lives.

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...

We actually just don’t have a rule of law at the federal level if he does this. And I don’t think any sane reading of the Founding Fathers would indicate they expected the pardon power to be this sweeping.

Just crazy reporting by NYT—Kushner and Witkoff making a secret deal with a sanctioned Russian company to control a huge gas project in the US. Good for this guy for getting the heck out and talking to the Times

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.
