The Trump administration pulls shenanigans on Canadian tariffs to make it look like Collins in Maine and Rogers in Michigan have earned our votes. It is a deceptive tactic. This thread explains.
Eleven days before the midterms, with two Republican Senate candidates drowning in states that live and die on Canadian trade, Donald Trump found religion on tariffs. Sort of. On Friday, the White House announced it was cancelling 50% tariffs on a list of Canadian products; Susan Collins

Excellent reporting on the government attempt to throw Californians off the voter roles - now that voting has started!
HAPPENING NOW: 9th Circuit Oral Arguments on DOJ's lawsuit against California voters. DOJ is arguing that there is massive amounts of non-citizens voting, and the harm is irreparable because once the ballot is separated from its envelope, you can't trace it to the voter. 1/

NEW: At least 18 voting centers in Alaska Native communities have not opened despite early voting having already started in the state last week. “There is no legal excuse for the failure to open these sites,” one state senator wrote to the Alaska elections chief.
You can see in the comments that the ballot is very clear. Not confusing.
BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

First Musk said he did not disable Starlink for Ukraine. Now he's confessing to disabling it but says he was justified in doing so. Congress, if you can hear me, we need hearings when Dems take over. www.cnn.com/2026/10/25/e...

A student walking to school ended up needing surgery after agents stopped the wrong person. This demands an independent investigation and accountability.

bsky.app/profile/robe... This is in Alaska which is the state I lived in for 25 years, which is part of the United States of America. WTF is this? Absolutely this election is about Trump. And he needs to be impeached.
US executives quit as Trump turns control over massive Alaska energy project to Putin underlings. The former chief executive of a $25bn US gas export venture says Russian energy giant Novatek was given control of the project by Trump, triggering a mass resignation of company leadership

This a maddening story about the greed of drug manufacturers - the development of drugs at considerable public expense and their totally unregulated pricing in the U.S.
The gene therapy Zolgensma helped children born with a fatal disease grow up to run and play. But the cost was stunning: $2M per dose. While taxpayers and charities funded the drug’s early development, execs, venture-capital backers and a pharma giant have reaped the profits. (Pub. Feb. 2025)

Jared Kushner’s hacked iPhone revealed he promised MBS and MBZ he would push their agenda with Trump if they participated in a secret fund, with the two royals initially discussing over $10B before ultimately placing at least $2B into his accounts. Paywalled, use archive. archive.ph/FHGAt

Wild that the Trump family is very clearly in the pocket of multiple(!) foreign dictators and apparently nobody even cares. This used to be the stuff of taut thrillers, now it's just oh there's Jared doing bribe stuff again
Dutch intelligence obtained a Russian hack of Kushner's phone and then hacked it themselves to find:
Get Elon musk out of the business of government.
