Even with all the levers of power he has his hands on, and even with control of every mechanism in the federal government, Trump has been unable to find election fraud. So he's crowdsourcing it now.
Trump: "Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

(2) the day-to-day petty crime and grand corruption infecting the operations of the US government; (3) the political weaponization of the Justice Department; (4) the president’s abuse of our “normal” process of government; (5) the squandering of our nation’s standing around the world.

These essays specifically highlight five areas where I fear we’ve lost sight of the sheer scale and horrific departure-from-normality that we’re all living through: (1) The abuses of the regime’s secret police force, a.k.a. ICE and CBP;
My second essay on how under Trump we’ve already gotten used to a level of fascism, authoritarianism, and corruption that would be unthinkable to us just years ago. Today: The corruption of the Justice Dept and *EIGHT* scandals on par with Watergate: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-s-ty...

Closing argument for the Republicans. Asses and tacky glitz.
Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"
Do your thang, Wisconsin. Vote. There's so much at stake.
Our country is strongest when all of us show up, speak out and refuse to be intimidated. Every eligible voter should have an equal say in the decisions that impact our lives. This is the last week for in-person early voting! Find your location(s) here: buff.ly/z6JeYln

Encouraging sign that Democrats will play hardball if they win the midterms.
NEWS --> Dems are planning novel ways to wield power of the purse against Trump's corrupt prosecutions of critics like Ilhan Omar if they win House. Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin tell me a range of aggressive tactics will be deployed. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2171...
Noting Tiffany’s plane crash, (Tina) Descovich (one of the founders of Moms for Liberty, a right-wing organizing group for parents) said she thought God saved Tiffany for the state of Wisconsin. Tin-foil hats for everyone! Vote accordingly, Wisconsin.

It's another good day for many far-flung Packers fans. Fox is showing today's game vs. the Lions to the RED areas (plus Alaska, Hawaii) on this @506sports.bsky.social map. 3:25 p.m. CT kickoff from Detroit. Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady on the call. (Just one coverage change: Eugene, OR, dropped.)
Most outsider-looks-in pieces don't get the essence of a place. This one, about Milwaukee and Wisconsin and the Brewers, nails it. www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

This is taxpayer-funded research data and info that belongs to the public and is not this administration’s to erase.
In a little-noticed webpage update, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a plan to decommission its online web archive at the end of the year, a move that would wipe tens of thousands of publicly available environmental resources from the web.

This is business. No sentimentality. The Brewers believe Woodruff can make a contribution, make a difference, bring something to the table, give them some kind of edge to help them win this World Series.
Brandon Woodruff: “I care about one thing, and that’s winning. I know it’s not an easy decision.” The decision is in: He’s on the roster. www.mlb.com/news/brandon...

The greatest dance number ever filmed, set up by "Jumpin' Jive" by Cab Calloway and His Orchestra. From "Stormy Weather," 1943.

Mr. Hitler, sir, you are a humanitarian, just like my boss who is an avid fan of your 'Mein Kampf.' And let me salute you. I commend you.
Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”
