The time when the U.S. elected a man who, for 30 years, had badmouthed every President, every treaty, every trade deal, etc. and said only HE could make everything great. It will be described as an era of profound incompetence which resulted in a significant blow to our international reputation.

If you've got a spare 15 minutes, Jimmy Kimmel's monologue last night was particularly good.

Abdul El-Sayed's "weird friends" didn't beat up 100+ cops while trashing the U.S. Capitol. JD Vance's "weird friends" did.

Republicans are about to discover that voter suppression doesn't work when everyone hates you.

Trump’s presidency is a wealth transfer from the bottom to the top

Trump has exempted 202 facilities in 39 states and Puerto Rico from clean-air regulations that were going into effect, including some of the worst industrial polluters. About 3.3 million people live near such a facility. Eric Lipton @maxinejoselow.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

In his (rather dubious) defense, Republican voters have shown him again and again that they love bigotry more than the constitution, the country, the troops, their jobs, drinking water, affordable food, their dignity, their own families, and even their own lives.

THREAD 5: HON RULE PENDING TAKEDOWN Of all 2024 actions to tighten Clean Air Act, arguably most important was the HON rule, covering giant chemical plants like Indorama Port Neches. When these plants have leaks, they are massive in scale. Consider this 2022 incident at Indorama: 152 hours

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

Has the Amazon been saved? 🤞

THREAD 1: The Air Toxics Rollback Cast of Characters Let’s start with the rules themselves. The EPA in 2024 had updated at least nine air toxics rules that are part of the Clean Air Act. The agency ordered upgrades to curb cancer or excessive air pollution.

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

THREAD 1: The Nuclear Option. Using Presidential Power to Wipe Out EPA Toxics Rules For decades now, Clean Air Act has allowed the president to issue a so-called presidential exemption to at least temporarily suspect a rule intended to protect public health/air quality. I found this from 1973

Came across this 2017 statement from Sen McCain about Trump and Putin.

You know it's true🎶 Everything Mike does🎶 He does it for Trump🎶 Hey Mike Rogers, when you see Trump today, show him this!

Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip. The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century. But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧵

NEW on @zeteo.com — Venues are *pulling out* of hosting Vivek Ramaswamy for his bus tour across Ohio in the closing days of the election. “We’re getting calls that people don’t want him there,” a top Ohio Republican says. “It’s that damn ad.” From @andrewperez.bsky.social and @swin24.bsky.social:

WATCH: “Pete Hegseth is a disgrace to the office that he holds.” @RebeccaForNJ07 (The 18th woman Navy test pilot in history) says firing women and people of color from leadership is “making this military less safe and less secure.”

I’ve already come up with a half dozen conspiracies after seeing this.

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

Trump’s response to the Ramaswamy ad is worth dwelling on to remind us how his administration has actually treated survivors of abuse. Beyond Acton, beyond Epstein's victims, there are thousands of other kids and domestic violence victims whose lives have been made materially worse by Trump policy

Ossoff says his campaign is for everybody who craves sanity and decency in their politics

NEW: GOP city councilwoman Shellie Flockhart called Iowa Dem House candidate Sarah Trone Garriott “dangerous” for kids in an attack ad. Flockhart pled guilty to driving drunk with her kids in the car in 2017. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

The Ramaswamy campaign not only tried to capitalize on a child rape victim, they did it by using an old homeless woman who—while vile—is in no mental shape to adequately understand the stakes. And did they pay her? Either answer is bad.

Trump and Todd Blanche are far more sympathetic to Epstein and Maxwell than to the survivors of their abuse. And now Vivek — followed byTrump and Vance — embraces the enabler of abuse and attacks the survivor. MAGA: Making Abuse Great Again.

Incredible if predictable betrayal of public trust: you have industry lobbyists become appointees, exploit unitary executive theory to undermine environmental laws and ride roughshod over staff.

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...

kushner accessing at least $2 billion in foreign slush funds in exhange for US favors. musk spending over half a billion in the midterms and restricting starshield in ukraine. trump’s sons getting $3.2 billion in government contracts and loans. it’s never been more clear it’s the many vs the few

I visited MLK Community Hospital in South LA, the only safety-net hospital serving poor patients in the area. The ER was built for 25,000 patients a year; it gets 120,000. I saw patients getting treated in the gift shop, the chapel, in tents, even outdoors. And this is before the Medicaid cuts.

“I made the decision to go back to Mexico, for the fear that at any moment they could take us — They ship people to countries they’ve never been. I know people who just vanished… on a human level, it’s fear.” From the “FRACTURED” series on ICE’s impacts: youtube.com/@fracturedst...
