It's not just California: The Trump admin just asked Washington state to set aside ballots received from more than 400 people it claims are suspected to be registered to vote without U.S. citizenship.

pbs.orgTrump administration asks Washington state to set aside ballots from 400 voters it says may be noncitizensThe effort is the latest by the administration to identify noncitizen voters, even though noncitizen voting is exceptionally rare.

This right here was the most damning part of the report; Todd Blanche interviewed Ghislaine Maxwell to signal to her the following: (1) we know that there is material related to Jane; (2) we know that you have information related to Jane; and (3) we will move you to a minimum security prison.

Much easier for the media to lock in on faux Cheesecake Factory outrage than a House Dem report indicating Todd Blanche basically told Ghislaine Maxwell "stop talking" when she was about to discuss a girl that could more closely tie Trump to Epstein

Mike Johnson: "Suddenly now, they've somehow convinced themselves that the Epstein files will be damaging to President Trump and Republicans in some way that they've imagined, and so they feign outrage."

This is what I meant when I said in 2024 that when I looked at the incoming administration, all I could see was rape. It’s the heinous act itself, yes, but also a mentality, as deftly explained here:

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

One of the most important financial stories out there if you want to know how and why the same five evil guys wind up owning everything.

HHS wants a new Medicare code that pays doctors extra only when they attribute a patient’s symptoms to a vaccine. Vaccine critics say doctors are paid to push vaccines. We aren’t. Under this code, we’d be paid to blame them. My new piece in @cidrap.bsky.social: www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

cidrap.umn.eduCIDRAP Op-Ed: HHS says it wants better evidence on vaccine injuries. It’s building a system that will produce the opposite.

In exchange for Musk giving us a few minutes of unwatchable slop, we have given Grok 1000s of acres of land, millions of gallons of potable water, untold electricity, and the trip mining of rare earth and other minerals. Really people, stop using AI.

Not gonna watch the clip but will assume it jumps camera view every 10 seconds. Any longer and AI can't preserve the consistency of the scene. It's why every AI video looks like it was cut by a 90s music video director on coke. The kind of stuff that makes you legit tired after 3mins viewing.

There was a brand new allegation that the president raped a woman in the 1990s yesterday and it appears to not be on the NYT homepage at all right now

Dave Levitan@davelevitan.bsky.social

It is short and so I assume they are looking into things but it is... interesting... that the NYT piece on the new House Dems report on Trump ties to Epstein simply does not mention the brand new rape allegation and says whatever this is instead www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

You're telling me that parents send their child to school, didn't hear from said child for four days then on the fifth day that child showed up as a different gender and none of these parents reported it to the police or tell their story to the media????

Two things that Rest of World figured out very early on: financial backing from Sophie Schmidt, the daughter of the former Google CEO, and excellent journalism (The Xylom has syndicated a number of their stories) But I couldn't help but notice something was amiss with them in the past couple years:

🤣This might be the single greatest miscalculated hit piece in history. They may as well have titled the article, "If you like Obama (and you do) you'll love Mamdani!" Using police resources to play basketball? This is great! And it makes the "whistleblowers," sound like some petty, salty, haters.

1. The midterms are in eight days, and the story of the election is probably going to be about Hispanic voters. They moved toward Donald Trump in record numbers in 2024. They are now swinging back to the Democra www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/u....

Kushner took a $50 mn bribe from the Emiratis to orchestrate the firing of Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, according to Matt Cole's new book, Princes and Thieves, out today. To be clear, this is a serious felony, if true.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM
