The NY Times has always been a bad-news washing machine for Trump. They're more janitors over there than journalists.

The NYT story does not even include the word rape. Not once.

nytimes.comHouse Democrats Call for Special Counsel to Scrutinize Trump’s Ties to EpsteinThe request comes as Democrats are working to paint Republicans as corrupt and highlight their plans to investigate Trump should they win the midterm elections.

We can hope that after the midterms there will be a public transparent oversight process that turns this report into a series of high-profile hearings. Much of the public now gets news via video; Congress can use oversight to make compelling video so the country pays attention.

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.

CBS is predicting only a 15-seat pickup in the House by Dems? I think that's too conservative by a lot. Dems look to pick up 4 seats in each of TX and PA alone.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

These numbers are telling. CBS News projects Democrats at 229 House seats to Republicans’ 206. Look at what voters are saying: • 65% say the economy is bad. • 57% say Trump’s policies have hurt them financially. • DON’T MISS THIS: 83% say government corruption is a major factor in their vote.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Shocking news. It is apparently mathematically impossible to create an AI agent that will not hallucinate.

JazzComposer@jazzcomposer.bsky.social

Since AI is based upon a model of the past, uses statistics and randomness to create output, creates hallucinations, and outputs objectively incorrect information, why are they surprised that AI is dangerous? AI executives always knew this but hid the danger 🥶 www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

Sounds on-brand for a DOGE AI agent to break in where it's not wanted and attack critical systems. In this case the penetration appears to have been invited, but this bodes ill for other industries. What if Cathedral wanted to attack your online banking? Looks like it could, easily.

Quite the opposite - companies should be run as countries. They need to benefit the general citizenry even over shareholders. If a corporation cannot benefit the citizenry as well as shareholders, it shouldn't exist.

I'm in a place where I've seen a lot of 3-year-olds play soccer, of all races, and honestly, most of them just run to where the ball is. There's no strategy and they don't keep score. The Black kid in this video skill-wise is head and shoulders above even most 8-year-olds; he's a prodigy.

If the citizens of Ingram had any sense they'd fire these two cops. How many small businesses have lost customers because of them? How much faster could the town's recovery have gone if not for them? They're not making anyone's life better there.

Ingram was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town. www.texastribune.org/2026/10/24/d...

The more Trump rambles on about data centers, the better the Democrats' chances in the midterms.

Trump on data centers: "I say let them come in ... you should really be cool on data centers because you can make a fortune with the data centers" (Note the total silence of the crowd during this rant!)

A little disappointing to see Dem numbers down from 2024 (even if up from 2022), as things are so bad right now. But it's also clear that young Republicans from 2024 were Trump voters, not Republican voters; numbers crashed between 2024 and 2026. (This is early voting, a measure of enthusiasm.)

Good to keep in mind that CNN is now owned by people with a vested interest in making Democrats' electoral prospects seem worse than they actually are.

Mr. Blabalino 🇳🇴🇺🇸💙@blabalino.com

Things aren't looking great for the Democrats due to all the redistricting cheats by the GOP. As soon as it looks like the Dems are ahead, fewer of them show up to vote. Make sure everyone you know votes for the midterms.

Wasserman's read of the Senate map is overly pessimistic. But he is correct that Fetterman is a loose cannon and that a 51-49 victory by Dems would likely return control of the Senate back to Republicans.

Lori F@tropicaldreamer.bsky.social

It is absolutely shocking, heartbreaking & infuriating that these races are so close given all the corruption, inflation, chaos, immigration & Americans being murdered by masked government ICE agents. Trump is aligned with Putin who helps Iran against us but Al-Sayed is a ‘no way’ vote? WTF?!?

Lawrence Graham
@lawrencegraham.bsky.social

But at least 4 PA GOP House seats are set to flip to Dems; a party switch by Fetterman would reduce his chances of re-election in 2028 to even closer to zero than they are right now. Perhaps he'd switch for spite. It's becoming more important for Dems to win in Kansas, where they have a real shot.

Actually, Hinojosa/Abbot is for TX governor. Good to see Hinojosa is up so much on Abbott (who is a relatively better candidate vs. her than Paxton is vs. Talarico).

You know, MAGA's man policy objectives are "fewer immigrants" and "pissing off the libs". They really don't care about much of anything else. Trouble is you can't run a country on fewer immigrants and pissing off the libs. You can only run it into the ground.
