NEW: The DOGE operative who gutted USAID -- firing thousands of employees and canceling lifesaving programs -- never actually signed the paperwork that's legally required for him to be employed by the agency.

wired.comA 28-Year-Old DOGE Operative Gutted USAID. HR Had No Record of Him Working ThereDespite the agency's human resources department saying he hadn’t even been onboarded, Jeremy Lewin oversaw the destruction of USAID. It’s not clear he had the legal authority to do so.

I think what’s going on here is that Trump is sending lists of names that sound immigranty to state election officials and claiming - with no evidence - they’re non-citizens as a pretext to seize ballots.

It's not just California: The Trump admin just asked Washington state to set aside ballots received from more than 400 people it claims are suspected to be registered to vote without U.S. citizenship.

UPDATE: @justinjpearson.bsky.social on Brent Taylor’s Sexting Scandal🍆 “This is the type of predatory behavior that needs to be rooted out of our society and politics. Tennessee deserves leaders who respect women— not sexually harass, expose their genitalia to, or take advantage of them.”

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

White House Officials: Sir, we're getting crushed. The polls are grim. The early voting data is even worse. What can we do to win over the American people in this final week? Trump: Charge Comey again!

Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

"Lord, we pray that you lift up Ken Paxton, a serial adulterer who constantly bears false witness, covets material things-- like houses--and disgraces your holy name with his shameless corruption, so that we may continue not to pay taxes and hate all the same people he does. Glory!"

Everyone needs to understand that Trump and Musk aren't supporting Ken Paxton in spite of him being a crook – they're supporting him *because* he's a crook.

Putin brought up the deal when he met with Witkoff and Kushner at the Kremlin on Sept. 5. Putin proposed it get done as a way of showing Russians that they can do business with the United States. The Americans responded that they'd work on it, seeing it as a way to build good will with the Kremlin.

This way Russia is in on the deal now, and when Trump's gone, it'll be too far along to get them out. Trump is literally selling us out to Russia.

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social

This is explosive. In the Witkoff/Kushner discussions with the Kremlin with respect to the sale to a Trump-backed consortium of LUKoil's foreign assets, Trump has offered a slice of his big Alaska project to a Russian major close to Putin. The structure is designed to entangle US investments
