Note, the MOST IMPORTANT change is that they swapped FBI agents (and added critical elements that were missing from the original affidavit). This is clean up, the obstruction charge is likely only the excuse to do that.

A fight over a DC community golf course on the Potomac produced one of the highest-wattage legal showdowns of Trump's 2nd term Monday. Perhaps not surprising given Trump's preoccupation with the golf project even as the midterms loom. w/ @kyledcheney.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Tanner offered free homes and a $5,000 monthly stipend to anyone who moved onto undeveloped land he purchased, with the stated goal of uplifting Black Americans. Texas sued Tanner, claiming he falsely advertised nonexistent homes and misrepresented the property’s condition.

The biggest con man in American history is standing at the podium describing armed robbery while running the largest grift operation ever conducted from the White House.

Trump on DC: "Nobody wanted to eat out. They were afraid. Even if you were in the restaurant, people would walk in and like the Wild West, 'Hold it up!' Everybody is standing there. Can you imagine? A fancy restaurant. They were robbing the whole restaurant. It's crazy."

Google was really trying to hide its water use figures, to the degree that it got the council to try to keep its water use figures secret. The community finally got the actual numbers and found out Google was using 29 percent of the water in the community. www.wired.com/story/what-t...

NEW: At least 18 voting centers in Alaska Native communities have not opened despite early voting having already started in the state last week. “There is no legal excuse for the failure to open these sites,” one state senator wrote to the Alaska elections chief.

“And in the process, John Roberts rubberstamped such corrupt use of DOJ to steal an election, giving the President absolutely immunity for making demands for sham investigations, which the Chief Justice deemed to fit within a President’s official duties.

Here's a supercut of notable moments from Trump's rally tonight in Georgia, including a lot of gutter racism, blasphemy, and reveling in the suffering of Americans who are struggling with high prices:

“We estimate that there are probably about 200 people who are falsely imprisoned in the DOC-a good number of them ended up there because of Amy Klobuchar.” Michelle Gross, paralegal on wrongful conviction cases Gross questioned if the CRU shutting down provides cover for Klobuchar's run for MN gov.

Unicorn Riot@unicornriot.bsky.social

In Minnesota, wrongful convictions have been a focal point of political campaigns. Before she was a state rep, Amy Klobuchar was a prosecutor. From 1999-2007, Klobuchar oversaw a 600% increase of Black men being sent to prison, including wrongfully convicted Myon Burrell.

Obama: We've got a U.S. ambassador shaking down a donor to pay off her $100,000 credit card bills. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid one of Trump's personal lawyers $50 million. We have never seen a president excel in straight-up grifting like this.
