Yes! I'll have analysis on the order at @prospect.org tomorrow, but for now, warm yourself by the fire of the judge's blazing hot rage. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
BREAKING: In a blistering order, Judge Hinderaker details how the Trump admin only has done anything in the case of Ahmed Soliman when ordered to do so. As such, he now orders DOJ to address each of the 11 steps he sees as being needed to bring Soliman back to the U.S.

What the media does and doesn't report is a choice, as is how they frame it, and they seem to have chosen a side. But they act highly offended when we point that out.
How is it that another credible rape allegation and multiple assertions of further wrongdoing emerge about the president the week before an election and no one were to care? New concessions to the Russians? More revelations about his family Russia ties? About Kushner Trump corruption? How? How? How?

NEW: Press freedom groups have sued the Trump administration — alleging in federal court that attempting to bar CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House violates the First Amendment rights of ordinary citizens to access information about the U.S. government.

Is all this really feasible? Won't Trump refuse to sign anything like this? Won't he litigate it? Won't it lead to government shutdowns? Yes, yes, and yes. But it's still absolutely doable and necessary. Here's why: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

Note: In 2016 Trump won with the help of coordinated messaging amplified by bots. He still relies on that coordinated messaging, tho the Epstein schism undermined that some. But this SEEMS to say you don't stay off Xitter and Facebook--you coordinate to game it.
Pro-Lula Brazilians doing en masse digital organizing against the platforms is interesting. Basically took website/influencer growth hacking techniques—eg everyone go like/comment/share this, get the algorithm to pick it up—and applied them to electoral politics at a grand scale. Thread:

I just love these Trump supporters calling for the smelling salts over Obama's Cheescake factory quip saying he's mocking middle America. These are the very people who worship the man who vomits gilt gew gaws everywhere like he's Louis the XIV and brags about how much money he's making as president.

Americans have a choice. You can vote for Nazism—which is 100% what this is—or you can vote for America. Anyone votes for Nazism should never be forgiven by anyone they love or even anyone they know casually. Voting for Nazism is an unforgivable sin for good reason. It is treachery against America.

This is a really terrible ad Blake Gendebien has put out. (the article linked is a few weeks old but I am just seeing it air in my local area, although he is not my district). Seriously he brags about being a "conservative democrat"! www.wwnytv.com/2026/10/15/g...

If we’re willing to organize and mobilize, if we’re willing to turn out in big numbers in Ohio and across this country, if we’re willing to vote for change and vote for Democrats up and down the ballot, then this election might just mark the moment this country began moving in a better direction.

He is insane.
😬 Trump sounds like hell during bizarre pre-rally gaggle 😬 Trump could barely speak, but what he said was nutso. He claimed his uncle invented radar, said he could "violate" Prizker and send troops into Chicago, and had a weirdly contradictory answer when asked who he golfed with today. Supercut:

😡 Hope Florida is voting democrat.
I gave Yasmany Moreno a heads-up that up to 100 third-country nationals would be joining him in Central African Republic, and that I’d heard a lot of them might be Cubans and Venezuelans. This morning, he says 90 Cuban men and 5 Cuban women have arrived. Here he is welcoming some of them.

Exhausted by stupidity: Melania negotiated a 'ceasefire' while Trump bleated like a sheep. A THREAD.
1. I am very tired of being asked to be stupid. I know that is not the most important thing right now. There are many more serious consequences to electing a criminal president who is burning up the economy.

😡 Cruel and inhumane.
According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, around 5.5mn people, including roughly 2mn children, have lost SNAP assistance (food stamps) since Trump signed the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act in July 2025. Underfed kids are beautiful, eh? www.commondreams.org/news/5-milli...
