In response to the book excerpt published in Vanity Fair, Jared Kushner denied ever talking to the Qatari government about 666 Fifth Avenue without disclosing his father & brother met separately with the Qatari finance minister in April 2017.

JD VANCE: "Well, I'll be honest. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern." We know. You are working for a boss who has serially raped 12-year-old little girls, someone's daughters. Could be yours. Kiss your run for 2028 goodbye.
WOW -- Vance *defends* Vivek's reprehensible ad 👇 Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away. Do you think it was appropriate? JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern.

This is long. I hope you’ll read it anyway. I’ve brought the tea: claims of noncitizen voting, last minute pre-election charges; it’s the same tired playbook & it's failed before. They’re hoping you don't remember. But knowledge is power. Read here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-reoccu...

The UN verified that at least 328 civilians were killed and 2,105 injured in September 2026, an 85% increase compared with September 2025. And who does the so-called president blame? Ukraine, of course. news.un.org/en/story/202...

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.

NO KINGS' main focus: PROMOTING EARLY VOTING/VOTER TURNOUT/ELECTION PROTECTION ahead of midterms. By taking down No Kings' Instagram acct at this crucial moment organizers lost their ability to coordinate logistics, broadcast safety updates, & amplify live turnout. Meta:"automated system error." 🤷🏻♂️
Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

Russia, Russia, Russia was not a hoax. Trump signed an EO tonight exempting Russia from new sanctions legislation that Congress passed last month. The law was designed to squeeze the financial lifelines sustaining Russia's war against Ukraine. Gift link. 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...

Imagine going into the service thinking your job was going to be to protect the country and then finding out your real job is to lie to the public to protect the image of a foolish and mendacious president.
Yikes. In a desperate-sounding video, CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper insists the Strait of Hormuz is “controlled by the United States… not Iran” and “open for business,” despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Here's Cat Murphy, a student journalist with the University of Maryland's Capital News Service, refusing to honor Rep. Andy Harris's false claim that she could not legally record his comments in this public setting @merrillcollege.bsky.social @cnsmd.bsky.social
Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.
