Vote, Organize, Do Good.

If January 6 wasn't enough to turn Republicans against Trump, don't expect them to uphold democracy in the midterms. Watch LP Senior Advisor Stuart Stevens on MSNOW:

The Grand Old Rape Party

"…Epstein immediately approached her saying 'I’m Jeffrey, Don’s best friend.' Epstein then spent at least 10 minutes talking to Keul, all the time looking over and grinning at Trump… Epstein also made similar promises as Trump…'You know I can take care of you. We organize many parties with Don.'"

This. This. This. 👇

“The Department of Justice is putting its formidable thumb on next week’s elections in a way that seems clearly intended to call into question the legitimacy of any result that is especially unfavorable to Republicans—before those results have even come in.” Me on DOJ’s California and Alaska suits:

"It is absolutely unprecedented." Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has won a record fourth term in office, defeating far-right challenger Flávio Bolsonaro by four million votes in a runoff election on Sunday. Bolsonaro narrowly beat Lula in the first round earlier this month.

The people of Serbia celebrating the defeat of the dictator who held full authoritarian control of their country for nearly 14 years. This is what democracy looks like.

Zelenskyy said: if you want us to stop hitting diesel facilities and refineries, then they [the russians] must stop striking our power infrastructure. That is fair - an 'energy truce.' www.kyivpost.com/post/88148

WOOOHOOOO!! Serbia, now Brazil. Next? USA and Israel!

Folks…

Iran going straight for the jugular in the latest LEGO ditty.

Canada: These are the people who gave us maple syrup and Martin Short. They are so nice.

"[Donald Trump] has got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory." --Barack Obama

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

They know how to hit them where it hurts (H/T @atrupar.com )

Are they finally starting to get it? In Michigan, Trump voters are feeling the financial pain of his tariffs, and some are having serious regrets. A Detroit restaurant is losing $30K because Canadian visitors aren’t coming. #BlueWaveIn10Days

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky: The most important thing for today: we have resumed the work of Starlink and Starshield at the speed that was before all these restrictions. The restoration began last night, and in the morning there were already speeds sufficient for using this connection.

Me: "It cannot be stated often enough or vociferously enough: the Trump Administration is helping Russia to conquer Ukraine. The United States of America has taken the side of an aggressor against its innocent victim. We are helping our actual enemies" www.aei.org/foreign-and-...

“A gaping wound of earth” 🌎 😕 Google illegally knocked down 250,000 trees in Finland to build a data center. @nonewdatacenters (From the Guardian)

Worth remembering

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky: The speed limits on Starlink and Starshield are still there. The speed has not been restored. And the delivery of interceptors to protect us against Russian ballistic missiles is still delayed. This is a real problem, because the Russians attack us almost every single day.

Dutch intelligence allegedly accessed Jared Kushner's iPhone, exposing secret Gulf accounts, a new book claims. Saudi Arabia and the UAE allegedly paid $750 million into one account, while another $1 billion was transferred to Israel for Kushner.

NEW: A group of Catholic bishops prayed over President Trump in the Oval Office on Thursday, 12 days before the midterm elections, at a meeting organized by an official at the Heritage Foundation. A senior Vatican official called it “a highly inappropriate meeting and an insult to Pope Leo XIV.”

Republicans appear to be building a case to potentially challenge the election outcomes in states that refuse to allow them (or help them) to remove people alleged to be non-citizens (using lists known to be riddled with errors) from voting rolls.

🇺🇦💔 Zelensky: Bucha. This is genocide, recognized by everyone. They buried hundreds of people, tortured them. We found a grave where there were about five hundred people. When we deoccupied these towns around Kyiv, hatred for “Russians” appeared. It was at this moment.

Pentagon officials lining up to “spill their guts” on Hegseth’s incompetence and damage to US military. Unclear whether impeachment could pass Senate but hopes are public revelations may spur Trump to fire him. Blowback onto Trump/GOP?

So Mike Flynn was also on the Republika Srpska for $100k a month. balkaninsight.com/2026/03/31/t...

Q: There's a report that FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Any reaction? OSSOFF: So the Trump administration is telling folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Jr & Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan?

Two seats on the Georgia Public Service Commission are on the ballot in this year’s election, and the outcome could see Democrats controlling the powerful commission for the first time in decades. This story is available through @wabe.org and @grist.org.

“Pressure from senior executives to keep costs down, lack of adequate enforcement resources, inadequate investigative techniques, & a desire not to create precedent for future investigations,” all contributed to what the judge characterized as a “willfully ineffective” internal examination…”

“Meta previously resolved various Cambridge Analytica-derived data privacy lawsuits across the nation as part of an overarching August settlement of nearly $17 billion with a coalition of state attorneys general in a separate federal case related to child safety and mental health…”

Today, a judge in New Mexico ordered Meta to pay $25 billion for misleading users on data privacy and a range of other statements that a jury deemed deceptive (and willfully so). Last month I broke down the jury's determinations on each of the questions posed to it:

Elon Musk threatens Congress.

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis: “WTF, Steve? Look up the definition of “humanitarian.” What an embarrassing and outrageous thing to say.”

It helps to be rich when dealing with Trump. Planes, satellites with kill switches and $50m pardons.

Ukrainian intelligence says its special forces captured 29 Russian soldiers, killed 108, and struck over 1,100 targets in a 7-week operation in Sumy Oblast. The GROUP 10 unit cleared 600+ hectares of forest and thwarted Russian plans to cut Ukrainian supply routes. 📹Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

EU can yank Starlink licenses which are set to expire in 2027. Did Musk throw himself on a grenade he earlier sai Trump pulled the pin to set up a fight between USA/Trump and EU?
