Huge headlines around the world. In major US media, unreported. Something's fishy here.

The Writers Guild on Musk blocking releasee of the documentary "Musk": "A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, and social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration over our news and media threatens democratic discourse."

Trump-Putin scandal in Alaska. "Joel Riddle, chief executive of the company, Polar LNG, until he resigned in September, said he had been misled...The true source of at least some of Polar LNG’s money was Novatek, a Russian energy giant under partial U.S. sanctions." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Trump is trying to force Ukraine's surrender. That would be a tragedy and a huge strategic error. I'll be damned if it happens while I have anything to say about it.

"With a seeming flick of a switch, Musk has the power to alter the course of a deadly conflict. " Nobody should have that kind of power www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

This is Vance’s “grab em by the p…” moment. Never forget the filth that he is. Never forgive. Resist him with equivalent righteous vengeance as the other festering boil on the ass of America.

Elon Musk threatens Congress.

Nationalize Starlink

This is asking for a lawsuit. Wow.

“Trump and Putin have teamed up to murder Ukrainians” is a better headline. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

What a disgrace to have a traitorous U.S. president who blames democratic Ukraine for his problems while Ukraine is engaged in a life-and-death struggle for its sovereignty against the murderous invasion of Putin’s Russia. And worse, he is strengthening the enemy’s position.

We are sensing a pattern

Trump has given Putin concession after concession: ending aid to Ukraine, keeping Ukraine out of NATO, giving Putin a red carpet summit, dissing Zelenskyy, wavering sanctions, disrupting intelligence sharing with Ukraine. And Putin has never changed his position on continuing the war. Not one inch.

The act itself had the trap door in it, which is why so many Dems and some GOPers opposed it

If you don't think that Trump is expecting a major quid pro quo from Russia in thanks for his open betrayal of the US, our national security and our allies, think again. And it has nothing to do with peace with Ukraine. Almost certainly it is about two things: election interference and $$$$.

This answer is fantastic and I’m glad to see the reference to Kennedy.

Ossoff: "The crisis we must meet is deeper than this presidency. Trump's rise is proof that business as usual has failed, that our politics, sickened by corruption, is failing the American public and compromising our national integrity. And that the hour is late to fix what's broken."

done,” Zelenskyy said. He also lambasted Washington’s eagerness to strike business deals with Moscow and Trump’s apparent admiration for Russia’s Vladimir Putin. Asked to explain the two leaders’ relationship, Zelenskyy said Trump had an instinctive affinity for autocrats and the super wealthy.

Today Elon Musk has more blood on his hands. These photographs should be in every American living room tonight

We've lost track of how very un-ordinary ICE's current reign of terror is. We’ve already gotten used to a level of fascism, authoritarianism, and corruption that would be unthinkable and shocking to us just a short time ago. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-s-ty...

Let me be specific: Donald Trump is an f-ing traitor. He is in cahoots with Putin and Russia to break our democratic ally, Ukraine, which makes all of us less safe. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/w...

Four days after Musk wrote, “Zelensky has gone too far.” @financialtimes.com #ukraine www.ft.com/content/3708...

"The one common denominator in the ugliness since this country lost its civility is Donald Trump. He has gone way past just changing the tone of our politics. He has been systematically trying to destroy everything that ties us to each other and to our country..." open.substack.com/pub/heatherd...

I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

Listen to every word

This corruption must be investigated.

Only desperately insecure men act like this.

No more shoulder-shrugging when a machine programmed by a person commits a crime. That means the person, not the machine, has committed a crime.

Crush the arts (Kennedy Center), destroy the civil service (DOGE), control elections (gestures broadly), dismantle the press (gestures more broadly), decimate science (NIH), and demolish education (DeptEd). The authoritarian playbook.

Trump saying we urgently need well stocked sniper nests overlooking the nation’s main location for political protest should ring alarm bells.

NEW: Hegseth and Trump are lying about how many troops have been killed in their war. The DoD website says 14. The actual number is 23 or 24 according to multiple DOD officials 1/ www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

BREAKING: We won! And we get discovery into this crazy demolition threat to boot. Kudos to our wonderful client @repbeatty.bsky.social and to my colleagues at DDF and WLG. Formal statement to follow.

What part of “mass deportations now” was unclear in the signs at the RNC in 2024?

Trump still can’t explain what this war is for. All he's delivered is higher gas and grocery prices. Our servicemembers and the American people deserve better.

Trump is a toxic waste dump of the worst of human character. His greed, corruption, ego, stupidity, arrogance, cruelty, prejudice, and active contempt for virtue, the law and people are manifest daily in ways that are destroying our institutions and our country. And he is getting worse daily.

I pushed for independent oversight. Now, for the first time, we have an official glimpse at the damage—and it’s still an underestimate. Resources drained. Munitions depleted. Diplomacy wrecked. Troops exhausted. The American people deserve the full truth. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The Kennedy Center was a beloved Washington institution, enjoyed by millions of people. It has been destroyed for no real reason. Just vanity, carelessness, indifference. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

It's Sept. 9, 2026, which means it's the 25th anniversary of our 9/11 experience. Because for us, the story starts on the Sunday evening before the attack. Here are four emails I wrote to friends, colleagues and family shortly after 9/11, and in the months that followed. medium.com/@BGrueskin/o...

Economists are noticing something very weird going on with BLS job creation: surprisingly positive numbers are announced, and then consistently corrected downwards sixty days later. This is too consistent to be a likely bona fide error.

Tom Nichols: “[Hegseth] views everyone around him, even his subordinates, not as potential assets but as competitors, people that will undermine him […]— that kind of insecure, paranoid management at the top really does undermine strategic cohesion…” @radiofreetom.bsky.social

This would explain the hatred of Mail in ballots....

Trump's trade war and tariffs are absolutely devastating Canada's economy, right? Wrong. The opposite. Canada's diversion from the US to other markets has triggered a boom. financialpost.com/news/economy...

If this enrages you, it should. And you’re not alone. The 19-year-old sailor who jumped off the USS Abraham Lincoln is facing disciplinary charges instead of receiving the mental health services he needs. 👀

Last ten years. (via Bilello) 🇺🇸

A key passage from Prime Minister Carney's speech this morning, which has essentially been ignored by major corporate media in the US

21 days before the 25th anniversary of September 11th, the United States imposes 50% tariffs on the country that gave its citizens refuge during the worst terrorist attack in US history.

🇺🇸DOCS: "In 13 days I saw 13 kids shot in the head & chest... deliberate killing of children... 🇮🇱's 'final solution' for Palestinans boils down to 'I want their land + I'm willing to kill children to get it' - part of the genocide." Docs tell Hasan & CNN what they saw.
