Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Jeffrey Sterling, ex CIA: The military is punishing Maj Watson while claiming to follow the very rules that forbid it. Art. 13 of the UCMJ says no one being held for trial may be punished, and that pretrial confinement may be no 'more rigorous than the circumstances require to insure his presence'.

West Bank…

Every 5 year old has tried this one 🙃

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

“Oh there are a lot of things voters want to hear about — how many times I took the dementia test, how hot Jon Husted’s ass is, how great data centers are, how you’ve gotta trust the pedophiles …”

Musk's businesses benefited from billions in taxpayer support. He's spent over $350 million helping Republicans. Now Democrats want answers. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

WATCH: Todd Blanche refused to rule out the Justice Department intervening in election certification, saying, “Of course I’m not going to say” there are no circumstances in which it would. DOJ veteran Vanita Gupta joins to discuss.

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

One thing the far right trolls are NOT mentioning about the @ilhanmn.bsky.social interview with @chrislhayes.bsky.social they're spooging about: She has to move bc THEY CAUSE so many death threats that the disclosure of where she lives puts her family at risk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPGx...

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)

surely corey knew he had to give trump a cut

An enormous victory for science, medical ethics and thousands of newborns. I couldn’t be prouder of my friends at Stand Up for Science. You fought like hell, and it made a difference. Congratulations!!! @cdelawalla.bsky.social 💙‼️‼️‼️

He’s gonna end up over half a billion. And that’s not counting the in-kind contributions from the media platform he owns.

“The Trump administration’s cuts to weather satellites will set the country back nearly a decade, experts say. The loss of data used to observe, forecast and research extreme weather could prevent the country from making major advances in weather prediction in the coming years.”

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

“.. the document .. cements the power of a small group of people handpicked by the Trump administration to govern and profit from the deal. The role of the Venezuelan government and the potential benefits to its people are largely absent ..” @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Former WH NSC Jake Sullivan: "I think Putin doesn't just want the four oblasts and I think he doesn't just want a neutral Ukraine, he wants a neutered Ukraine."

Elon Musk threatens Congress.

There is genuine public rage about Musk, which is what Congress is responding to, so when he says he will come for the people pulling the strings, he means the voters.

Brian Poindexter: "Max Miller has traded more than $1 million in stocks in just four years in Congress...He invests in a data center investment fund, then votes for $70 billion in tax cuts for data centers...He takes money from insurance company PACs, then he votes to cut Medicaid."

TEXAS: “Harris County SHATTERS early voting record on Day 1 with over 100,000 ballots cast” 👀 www.click2houston.com/news/local/2...

Neil Bush, brother of George W. Bush and son of George H.W. Bush, has posted a political message on Facebook for the first time, saying he voted for James Talarico for US Senate over Ken Paxton. Bush says he isn't just opposing Paxton, he has come to admire Talarico.

Trump administration is holding back another billion from California for Medicaid, citing Medicaid-funded home care costs. As I wrote for @motherjones.com in July, the last time they did this, California does its program better than other states. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Meta gave $1M to Trump's inauguration fund — and Mark Zuckerberg himsef has helped bankroll Trump's ballroom. Now Trump's DOJ has halted a years-long criminal investigation into allegedly enabling and profiting from illegal drug sales on its platforms. Funny how that works, huh?

Tech billionaires like Musk, Zuckerberg and disgraced Elizabeth Holmes aren't just super-villains at the multiplex Silicon Valley is spending $500 million to buy the election, and, as that isn't working, resorting to crude censorship Why it's totally backfiring www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Anthropic logged net loss of over $80 billion in first half of 2026, WSJ reports reut.rs/4z2Zi9J

This is why I think relying on the 'bubble' to burst is a fantasy. So-called "AI" is a globalised mass surveillance system wanted by authoritarian (read: all) governments worldwide. Like fossil fuels, it will be propped up at taxpayer expense for the benefit of the ruling elite.

Remember when everyone was supposed to get “DOGE dividends” and $2,000 tariff rebates? Now Elon Musk is promising to give every child a SpaceX share, while Trump is claiming he'll dole out $5,000 checks if Republicans win the midterms. Their desperation is showing. Don’t be fooled.

The Supreme Court’s destruction of the Voting Rights Act threatens to return the country to a pre-1965 America, when white supremacy was the law of the land, and Congress contained no Black members from the South.

A woman who accused seven Cornell University students of raping her at a fraternity house says the university's president questioned why she waited to report the alleged assault, leaving her feeling disbelieved and unsupported.

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...

Eight days ago, less than a month before an election, Trump's DOJ raided @repilhan.bsky.social’s home in what we know is a fascistic attempt to denaturalize & deport her.   We cannot become numb to these blatant abuses of power. Failure to call this for what it is, is complicity.

Listening to this on Deadline Whitehouse, with Nicole Wallace: Military officers in important positions were evacuated and their families were left behind! Left to fend for themselves! Horrific, Benghazi style hearings are needed. #Sheshed www.ms.now/news/militar...

JD Vance was confronted by a Gold Star husband, and his response will make your blood boil: “This is literally the first time I’ve heard of this.” Either the Vice President is ignorant, or he doesn’t know who made the ultimate sacrifice in his and Trump’s name. Either way it's a disgrace.

Among the many many many reasons to vote, here's one to consider: Let's prove that billionaires can't buy an election. Let's prove it in a big way.

A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

…

It's time to take immediate action to halt RFK Jr.’s malicious and harmful study, which will intentionally withhold life-saving Hepatitis B vaccine from thousands of newborns in Guinea-Bissau.

"A majority of Americans view the president’s administration as uniquely corrupt..." www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Syria’s authorities are rebuilding the army and the security forces without women. Authorities have imposed admissions rules that bar women from most programs at two new state universities focused on defense and security.

“The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president.”

Rubio confirms talk of a Trump–Putin–Xi summit on Ukraine’s future. Zelenskyy isn’t invited. The U.S. using intel support as leverage. Great powers carving up a democracy over its head isn’t peace. It’s Yalta. I joined @peteralexandertvs.bsky.social and @oliviaoftroye.com on MSNOW’s State of Play:
