RFK is at a MAGA rally in Florida explaining how healthy he is making America when a man collapsed right behind him. The crowd chanted "Bobby, Bobby" like he is a doctor. He is not. He said a prayer, blessed Donald Trump, and walked off. MAHA, everybody. Call to Activism

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...

There was never a Leftist media. Arguably, there was 1 or 2 Centrist media platforms that were swamped by right wing propaganda. The goal hear is total right wing info curation, while never hysterically crying about Leftist bias.

News just broke that Elon Musk made a $1 billion investment in the Ellison family's Skydance, which owns CBS and CNN. Anoher step toward right-wing "media capture," as I wrote about recently in my Stop the Presses newsletter.

America's NATO allies come to the grim realization that if Trump/Musk can do this to Ukraine they can do it to the UK, Germany or France, too. Which means StarLink is not a reliable service provider; indeed it's a national security risk. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

With Trump's removal of Starlink, Russians are now hunting cars full of people in Kyiv, using jet drones for which Ukraine's interceptors no longer function to stop. Three people murdered an hour ago in southern Kyiv, with six others injured, three of which are children.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

WITKOFF TO PUTIN (yes, that Putin): “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian — you are a humanitarian also, sir. I salute that. I commend you.” 🤯 we are so cooked. Russia was never a hoax.

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

Ukrainians again had no advance warning as ballistic missiles were raining down as Starlink continues to be restricted. And the U.S. has not delivered Patriot interceptors that Europe has paid for. Is anyone in Congress home? Are they ok with helping Russia kill Ukrainians?

300,000 tons is the equivalent of 93 million gallons of diesel. U.S. daily consumption? 160 million gallons. So 13-14 hours’ worth. Won’t really move the needle on prices in the market.

Mike Rothschild@rothschildmd.bsky.social

It's clear the plan is to blame Ukrainian refinery attacks for high gas prices, and portray Trump as working with Putin to save both nations. And the only way to stop the barbarism is to vote GOP in November. It's breathtaking in its cynicism, and it won't work.

Thank you all for your support. This situation is heartbreaking for Ukrainians because every cent russia makes on diesel funds this war. Over here, that money isn't just an abstract concept, it causes devastating damage: more destroyed towns, a harder winter, and very real loss of life.
