The former CEO of a naval defense contractor told FBI agents he cut cash-for-contracts deals with South Carolina’s two most powerful members of Congress — Sen. Lindsey Graham and Rep. James Clyburn.

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

WELKER: If you were elected, would you vote to repeal some of President Trump's tariffs? MIKE ROGERS: The best way to do this is to talk in and say, 'Can we work this out?' I'm not even in office yet. (That's a no!)

Here's the ProPublica link. It's really well-reported, and I hope people will take the time to read it in its entirety.

Attorney General Todd Blanche isn't even pretending that Trump isn't directing him to file lawsuits

Grok fact-checks its master 👇🏽 👀

The Trump administration has signed an oil deal with a Venezuelan energy baron who has faced money-laundering investigations in three countries. ProPublica reviewed a copy of the 18-page agreement.

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

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...

#203/2026 MAGA operative and "election integrity" crusader Scott Presler blatantly violated election laws by letting at least three out-of-state residents use his Pennsylvania home to register to vote. A rank hypocrite crying about nonexistent fraud while running a voter-fraud ring from his couch.

Real words from Trump on Abdul El-Sayed: "He was a member, probably still is, of the Muslim Brotherhood. We can't have him. We can't have him in the United States Senate." "He's a jihadist. He's a vicious, violent jihadist, and he has no place in our government."

Trump: "Elon will never do anything wrong. I know him very well. He's a fair person."

The time to determine whether Dan J. Sullivan Jr. could appear on the Alaska ballot for U.S. Senate was months ago, and Alaska courts did so. What's additionally batshit about this is that the candidates' names are printed on the ballot in a way which makes abundantly clear who's who.

NEW: Elon Musk gave his super PAC $76 million in just two weeks of October, and more than half of its new candidate spending went to one race: the Texas Senate fight against James Talarico. He’s now given more than $445 million this cycle, far more than he spent electing Trump.

It is already a federal crime to send troops to a polling place. Trump knows that. Ten states are preparing for him to try it anyway. Make every member of Congress say it out loud before Nov. 3.

NEW: A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials haven’t acted — instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.

Losing more ground in the fight against climate change, humanity is heading for a hotter world than experts projected last year, and the U.S. is a big reason for that, a new U.N. report says.

So the same month that Elon Musk throttled Starlink to run his own military policy, he's also seeking more control over your flow of information. Musk and the Ellisons will control CNN and CBS for news; HBO, Warner Bros, Paramount & more for entertainment; Twitter (X) and TikTok for social media.

Elon Musk has already declared war on Democrats and begun fighting it on several fronts. This fight is happening, whether or not some centrists want it. There's no real choice now but to make a clear case in the election and then go hard after him when they retake Congress.

"We all lose when POTUS commandeers a public institution & turns it into a monument to himself. It matters when Trump tears down the East Wing or shutters the Kennedy Center. And the litigation to stop him from destroying those institutions is a key front in fight over the limits of executive power"

JD Vance: "There's no person who hates the idea of people enriching themselves fraudulently over access to the government than Donald J. Trump."

wow -- a protester right behind Vance spikes his MAGA hat and start yelling at Vance before getting hauled out. Vance smears him for allegedly looking like he hasn't washed his hair.
