Trump currently holds up to $81 million in oil and gas stocks. His stocks have increased in value by 43% since the end of 2025.

Just after Citi sends me an email about looking out for fraud, I get a fraudulent charge on my credit card.

Reminder For You,Trump.......

Fascism hasn’t been defeated and democracy isn’t and wasn’t dead. But in an attention economy, where analysts are their own media brand, politics is increasingly reduced to simplistic sensationalist statements, which generate strong emotional responses but little actual insight.

This seems very much like NYC in terms of housing costs. There are regularly people in the neighborhood FB group looking for 2+/3 bed apts for $7k!

I loved how Skattebo really held the ball tightly as he slid to the ground. #NYG

On CBS Sunday Morning today, David Sedaris talked about his friend who happens to be trans and prostrates. Still doing good work.

Will I go to see the documentary everyone is talking about? Not sure. I find the subject reprehensible and the auteur, despite being a darling of the critics, plain old skeevy in everything he does.

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

I wasn't sure that Hochul was very smart but tying herself to Mamdani with positive, hopeful messages is smart.

Watching an old (2024?) BBC series crime called New Blood about two young guys working together who are totally different and someone should reboot it. The guys are adorable becasue they are what every woman would recognixe as 20-something BOYS. Really dumb and sweet but smart.

My late husband used to wonder how many new cars he had left in his life if he had 3-year leases. I wonder how many iPhones I'll need.

This is the kind of thing that Lee Atwater would have done. Now it's probably from James O'Keefe.

"A group of former IRS and Justice Department officials called the settlement “breathtakingly improper,” Forbes reported. Thirty-five former judges called the agreement “a product of collusion” and “a fraud on the court.”

Trump gives Russia $$$. Russia gives Trump...this.

In Kharkiv today, russia struck an ordinary commuter train. Killing kids, striking markets, Killing dogs, burning trains - everything is possible if you are a great "humanitarian"

Top officials in the State Department made clear that only candidates who voted for Trump would be eligible for the mid-to-upper level foreign service roles Federal law strictly prohibits making civil service personnel decisions on the basis of political affiliation

Trump’s vanity projects — a gold ballroom, a $100M “Triumphal Arch,” gold-plated horse statues, a $50M golf course — are set to cost taxpayers $1.8+ billion. Here’s what that money could have been spent on:

MSNow should re-air the second hour (round table) of Stephanie Rhule's show Money Power Politics at some point in the evening so more people can catch it.

ABC doesn't mention that the Minnesota hero who saved 20 school kids was Somali. I wonder why. www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

I want this to be a movie and for Greta Gerwig to direct it.

I feel seen

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

Prison is too good for him.

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

How about you and all your private jet friends pay what it costs to use American infrastructure? Then it would be easy to pay ATC more… www.nytimes.com/2023/05/05/o...

Almost 5 square miles. That's not a data center, it's a town.

Grassroots my butt

remember He was paid for that.

“.. It was the second time in two years that the president authorized billions of dollars in bailout money for farmers harmed by his administration’s policies.” @nytimes.com #KSsen www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/b...

New York should also immediately change its name to New America. We are not York, we are the United States of America! Likewise for New Hampshire, which will also now be called New America! And we will also have New America, formerly New Jersey! And New America, Louisiana as well!

Did anyone ever expect that two scariest movies this year would be documentaries? #Musk #Holmes

At least Citi is trying to war people.

The US military fired roughly 19 years’ worth of Patriot interceptor purchases in just seven months of Trump’s Iran War, the Center for Strategic and International Studies estimates.

From the first reports I believed nothing about her or her company. What was shocking was that so many did.

Oh sure I'm going to give some AI bot access to my email! That will make my life easier...🤯

"The numbers suggest that the collapse of the United States’ tourism industry is accelerating, thanks to Trump, MAGA, the GOP’s extreme xenophobia, and their belief that there’s no problem you can’t brutalize your way out of." — @brynntannehill.bsky.social

Studies show that AI can distort memories, raising questions about what happens when machines become keepers of the past. MIT's Media Lab found AI-altered images increased false memories, renewing concerns about cognitive decline and reliance on machines. https://wapo.st/3Uw9kRu

Go to your camera roll and search "boat" and then post a picture of a boat you like.

I've lived in NYC for 50 years and never once thought of horse carriage drivers in Central Park as "transportation". It's not like taxi drivers. It's more like entertainment and there have been decades for drivers to find other ways to make a living.

The slop party: "More than 80 percent of the [AI-generated] ads were produced by Republican campaigns or Republican-aligned political action committees."
