“A 79-year-old CO pastor who lost 35 pounds and the strength to walk after 13 months in immigration detention has been released by order of a federal magistrate judge. The government ignored requests for a wheelchair. Instead, 3 other detainees carried Rev. Edward Nalwamba to a waiting vehicle.”

NEW: The Trump administration committed the U.S. to taking a large stake in a Venezuelan company, some of whose owners and investors are shielded from public view. The exact details of the agreement over oil fields had remained unclear — until now.

People with knowledge keep saying - in public and to me in private - that you get a pardon in this government by literally paying a bribe. I mean at some point it’s all going to come out, right?
My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

"Ms. Martin & Mr. Addington had discouraged or tried to dramatically revise multiple articles, apparently under pressure by the articles’ subjects or others unhappy with their impact." Non journalists with a strong political ideology are meddling with news content...where have I heard that before?
Christianity Today has seen about half its staff quit or laid off in the last 14 months. Former employees told me that new business leaders have intervened in editorial decisions and are effectively abandoning the outlet's commitment to independent journalism. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/u...

Excellent piece. Explains how DT was able to write an EO and nullify the Lindsey Graham act. Only takes a few minutes to read. Please read and share.
Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Yes. This is disgusting. The Trump admin manufacturing the evidence to support their conspiracy theories of widespread non-citizen voting. They arrest a tiny number of people (arrests crafted to draw attention), at least some of whom having no idea of the crime they’ve been accused of.

Vice President JD Vance likes to cite food stamp recipients who he says drive Lamborghinis. But the White House ignores a far more prevalent form of fraud: transnational gangs stealing money from SNAP recipients.

NEW on “Paper Trail”: A defense contractor CEO told the FBI that he had bribed politicians — and that Susan Collins was his most important patron. Then Trump shut down an elite FBI anti-corruption unit. So we took it upon ourselves to investigate.
