Army veteran Ronald Brown has been waiting for two years for the Department of Veterans Affairs to renew his appointment to a stakeholders committee that advises the VA secretary on finding a cure for Gulf War Illness.

"It is a disturbing and shameful abandonment not only of a would-be ally in need, but of the best and noblest traditions of American foreign policy dating back centuries."

Donald Trump Jr’s Mongolian hunting trip highlights the remarkable relationship between a son of the US president and a tycoon with a criminal record who has close ties to Putin’s personal security service. Intelligence experts say such connections are ripe for manipulation. ft.trib.al/p0LBRYI

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: S.C. deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

WELCOME TO NAZI AMERICA

Did you know men can get breast cancer too? Many people don’t know that men can get breast cancer. But everyone has breast tissue. Breast cancer in men is rare. Around 400 men are diagnosed each year in the UK. But it’s important for everyone to know the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.

We're funding 2 new research projects using AI to predict breast cancer coming back. Find out more about our new researchers 👇 breastcancernow.org/about-us/res...

WAKE THE FUCK UP

Hey Elon, I have a message for you. Representative Jim Himes

Ukraine reported Starlink problems Friday, losing drones and limiting strikes on Russia. Thursday, Trump claimed Musk had restored service. Friday, he admitted he hadn’t even spoken to Musk.

Netanyahu helped Kushner hide $1 billion in UAE funds at Israel's central bank, new book claims. This is from Israeli media www.ynetnews.com/article/b1av...

Anna Paulina Luna voted six times to continue the Iran war. Now we might know why. Her husband owns 10% of Nokturnal AI, a drone startup she valued at just $1,000 in 2025 that has since raked in $37 million in Pentagon contracts. Coincidence? We don’t think so. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Report from @csis.org: the Alabuga drone factory is 4-country joint effort: 🔹Iran provided the design and manufacturing expertise 🔹North Korea supplies mass labour 🔹China supplies batteries, engines, electronics, etc 🔹Russia built the factory and fires the drones at Ukraine

Patriot interceptors that NATO allies paid for are awaiting Pete Hegseth’s signature while Russia strikes Ukraine’s power grid. Ukraine has almost none left and gets 12 a month from US stocks. Rubio says the batch may be held under review.

Russian fixed-wing drones are now being fitted with mesh radios, which are proving to be an effective alternative to Starlink, albeit with limitations of their own.

Since late summer, a near-constant swarm of jet-powered Russian drones has obscured the skies over Kyiv, terrorizing residents and hunting for targets across the city.

Mesh communications are helping turn these aircraft into a formidable threat, capable of high-resolution reconnaissance and remotely operated precision strikes at unprecedented range.

Pete Hegseth just gutted the Inspector General system troops use to report wrongdoing. Hegseth’s overhaul strips anonymity, lets “non-credible” complaints get tossed, and flags anyone who files too often. www.military.com/pete-hegseth...

Aiding and abetting the enemy is...(checks notes)...called treason. Causing innocent civilians to be killed is...(checks notes)...called crimes against humanity and a war crime. Seriously, what the fuck is being done in our name, with our money?

A despicable ad from Vivek Ramaswamy who is a despicable person. Desperate Republicans have run some horrible, dishonest ads to distract from their failures in office, but maybe none worse than this one.

Trump's friends and allies:

Baiting bears with doughnuts and bacon grease, then shooting them at close range. That’s what the Trump administration is bringing back to Alaska’s national preserves.

A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

The agency responsible for overseeing America’s nuclear weapons has lost ~ 12% of its workforce. 236 people, including nuclear engineers. They’re overseeing a $200 billion modernization project & the Trump administration restricted hiring & halted workforce planning. What the hell are we doing?

So if I’m raped & get pregnant, I have 3 options: 1. Abort & go to prison. 2. Endure pregnancy that was forced on me, give birth & possibly deal with the rapist suing for custody cause he ain’t going to prison. 3. Suicide. Sounds like a war on women to me.

💥 UKRAINE Zelensky: Since the American President announced the energy ceasefire a week ago, Russia has deliberately attacked Ukraine’s energy and oil and gas sectors 76 times. 🔻

If Musk can control the Starlink over Ukraine… HE CAN CONTROL THE STARLINK OVER THE UNITED STATES, AS WELL. Get it, NOW?! 😎✨

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Trump *himself* filed a financial disclosure form this year that asserted he made over a billion dollars last year. That's not a claim from the fake news, or the crazy liberals. That is Trump's own filing.

Local mom warns, "If you send your kids to public schools, then what's your backup plan?" You'll need one if the Free State GOP holds on to power in Concord. #Wolfeboro #Tuftonboro #Ossipee #publiceducation #voteblueupanddownballot

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

⚡Russian troops executed Ukrainian POWs in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, military says. Russian forces are accused of executing Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) on the Huliaipole front in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, a Ukrainian military spokesperson told Ukrainska Pravda on Oct. 17.

Meta took down the No Kings Instagram account during today’s No Kings events.
