He looks more annoyed than concerned.
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.

“It’s so much worse than people realize… we are sitting ducks…” Service members and military families share accounts/photos/videos of being attacked in Trump’s pointless war, as leadership fails them, and hides the truth. (From @MeidasTouch) meidasnews.com/news/so-much...

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...

“The Midterms present the last chance to prevent this outcome. They were critical before, but a victory for the GOP will free Trump and Putin to do whatever they want in Trump’s —perhaps — final two years. The damage that can be achieved in that time is incalculable.”

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?

President Trump: Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much. Comment from me: see quoted post.
Today, five children killed by a Russian attack - 13-year-old Zakharii, 14-year-old Viorika, 16-year-old Dominika, 9-year-old Federika, and 18-month-old Artem - were laid to rest in Radushne, Dnipropetrovsk region. A Russian missile struck the Voronov family's home on the night of July 29-30.

Poland’s foreign minister says US has contributed nothing to Ukraine’s defence since January 2025. EU now pays for US weapons, enriching US defence manufacturers, while Trump threatens to cut off supplies unless Ukraine stops striking Russian refineries.

The Trump admin is moving forward on plans to impose financial penalties on Americans in default on their federal student loans and hire private debt collectors to go after them. The plans are unlikely to be announced until after the midterms.

Weeks after signing a law to cut off the money behind Putin’s war, Trump let Russia sell its diesel to the world again. He says it’s about lowering costs, but when a president eases the pressure on a dictator mid-war, it’s the people of Ukraine who pay the price.

"If I remember correctly.... Russia started the war. Trump started the war in Iran," another person acknowledged. "The fact that Trump is conspiring with Russia and China should be enough for Americans to reality check what is happening on the surface, but undoubtedly behind the scenes.

Lettuce, jalapenos, blueberries, beef. All these recalls and illnesses aren’t a coincidence. They’re the result of incompetence and corruption within the Trump regime, and unchecked corporate power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hAzTOEuCJA

⚡️️️️️️️US demands Kyiv halt refinery attacks, threatens to suspend intelligence sharing. During recent talks, the Ukrainians were told that Washington would cut off intelligence sharing that has helped Kyiv identify and strike targets inside Russia, one person present told the Kyiv Independent.

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.
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.

Trump’s deal to buy Russian diesel from Putin just weeks before the midterms funnels money directly into Russia’s war machine. Trump is now facing calls for Congress to block the deal and impeach him. Meanwhile, energy analysts say it’s unlikely to even make a dent in fuel prices.
