What an insane weekend. Trump lifts sanctions on Russia. Republicans revolt. Zelenskyy sounds the alarm. New questions emerge over Ukraine’s restricted Starshield access. A devastating new NBC poll for Trump. And a whole lot more. Whew! The weekend bulletin is here:

meidasplus.comToday in Politics, Bulletin 483. 10/18/26… AP: “Trump’s abrupt decision to waive sanctions on Russia days before they were to take effect drew outrage from members of Congress, which had overwhelmingly passed the legislation in a bipartisan ...

Mike Johnson is relying on his faith to hold control of the House. So if he loses control of the House, we can all reasonably conclude that God dislikes Mike Johnson as much as the rest of us.

Police should NEVER have the power to turn off accountability. If officers can choose when to record their actions, body cameras become a tool for protecting police, not the public.

FUN FACT: The Bible doesn't say *anything* about abortion. Ever. Well, except for the time God provides a handy recipe for a magic potion to induce an involuntary one. Numbers 5:11-31

The moment the GOP completely lost its soul 👇 In 2015, Donald Trump publicly disparaged John McCain’s Vietnam-era military service, saying “He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.” #CadetBoneSpurs

What a comically out of touch response. Maine, please vote this idiot out.

Susan Collins is showing just how out of touch she is. “I spent a whole year without health insurance…in ‘94” That was 3 decades ago, Susan, when insurance was $1500 annually… Thanks to Susan’s vote that helped pass Trump’s murderous budget bill, premiums are $1500 a month now for some folks.

"Surging demand from data centers and air conditioners put the US power system through a tough test this summer. But instead of triggering a jump in fossil-fuel use, record renewables output carried much of the extra load and helped keep the lights on." The lies of the oil industry are falling fast

Trump can’t talk his way out of this one. He fumbled part of his most recent speech so badly that he ended up with the suggestion of Iran bombing U.S. cities. In typical fashion, the White House is saying you didn't hear clearly that which you obviously did. (link below)

ANOTHER DHS VOTER FRAUD CLAIM COLLAPSES Trump’s DHS claimed as many as 15,903 noncitizens were on Nevada’s voter rolls. Nevada pushed back and demanded evidence. 15,903 became 185. Nevada checked the 185. The new number: ZERO. Every single one was a US citizen.

Trump banned CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House because he calls their coverage “FAKE NEWS.” Brilliant Idiots said it plainly: “We’re cosplaying an authoritarian regime.” Americans do not punish journalists for reporting facts

You’re allowed to be exhausted by politics. You’re allowed to turn off the news for a day. You’re allowed to protect your sanity. Just don’t confuse taking a break with handing over your citizenship. Rest. Then pay attention again. 🗣️ #JulesUnfiltered

For decades, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was the undisputed global leader in public health. But after a year and a half in the cross hairs of HHS RFKjr’s drive to remake public health policy, the agency is a skeleton of the powerhouse it was. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/h...

#ResistanceRoots The fight for universal healthcare may seem like a relatively recent phenomenon, dating from President Truman’s failed proposal for a national, publicly funded health insurance system in 1945. However, the fight goes back to the 1910s, and it’s linked to anti-labor forces. /1

Early voting is your chance to beat the lines and make sure your vote is counted on your schedule. Check your voter registration now, confirm your polling location, and know when early voting begins in your state. Don’t wait until Election Day. 🗳️🌊

Fascism depends on silence, fear, obedience, and the belief that resistance is pointless. Resist anyway. Speak when silence is demanded. Organize when isolation is encouraged. Defend the rights they tell you are expendable. Democracy survives when people refuse to surrender it. #Vote 🌊

Do your friends & neighbors understand just how much extra they're paying because of Donald Trump? Share this video & song about how tariffs are taxes & American consumers, particularly those who have lower incomes pay more. It's like an invisible sales tax. #TrumpRaisedYourTaxes so vote blue!

Donald Johnson is 81. He's driven over 200,000 miles delivering lost luggage as his wife Josephine has cancer & he needs to pay her medical bills. “It’s the only job that will hire me.” Vote blue for a country where 81-year-olds can care for their wives. #BlueWaveNov3 #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Dems may be positioned to take back the House, but this is no time for complacency. Jeffries is right to put healthcare front and center. Medicaid, healthcare costs, and who government actually works for are going to be major issues in this fight. Nothing is won yet.

Why won’t network evening news broadcasts show their audience video of Trump dozing off during press events in the Oval Office in the middle of the day while people are talking, as he’s done dozens and dozen of times? Is that not newsworthy? Is it impolite? Will you lose access?

Trump with Xi at the White House. (Xi is head of the world's largest Communist country.) And with Putin for one of their many meetings. (Putin is trying to rebuild the Soviet Union, a Communist country.) Now tell me how Trump dislikes Communism. No one in the US wants Communism...unless it's Trump.

EXACTLY WHAT WE’VE BEEN WARNING ABOUT What will it take for Speaker Johnson to bring the House back and deal with it? AI ISN’T WAITING FOR CONGRESS. 📌 OpenAI says its agents accessed federal government sites. Researchers say an agent also attempted to breach the Education Department’s website.
