Trump Corruption continues, always something nefarious to line his pockets and those of his family and friends...including Russia. This time it's all about oil drilling in Alaska, a subject even discussed with Putin during the so-called Ukraine negotiations. 😒
A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...
Democrats have campaigned on lowering living costs and holding the Trump administration accountable. This is a look at their to-do list if they win the majority.
Finally! Senators from both parties have warned the White House they will withhold confirmation voting on all Trump nominees until his administration restores full communications used by Ukraine’s military. The disruptions have equally endangered American personnel in Ukraine.

Big Brother has arrived. And more Brothers are on the way. Between Flock cameras, doorbell Rings and what'll be lining our country's borders end to end, are we in the US moving towards the Surveillance State we so abhor about China? 🤔

Ugh ...😥 We've just got to see defensive interceptors provided to Ukraine somehow someway.
Ukrainian journalist Illia Ponomarenko recalls witnessing the aftermath of Russian attacks on civilians trying to flee. “Half-burnt bodies lying on the asphalt” beside the wreckage of their cars. “Something that you would expect to see in horror movies, but it's absolutely reality.”

When people talk about AI destroying the world, it’s less “firing all the nuclear missiles” it’s more this stuff, basically making say, all banks and all internet functions completely unusable bsky.app/profile/norv...

Glad to see CNN reporting on this. @jimacosta.bsky.social and I raised concerns about DHS potentially using a military-grade “heat ray.” After 20+ years in national security, I find this deeply troubling. A weapon designed to inflict intense pain. Against civilians? Why does DHS need this?

On Sunday, the violence and protests in France had largely subsided, apart from sporadic skirmishes and looting involving small numbers of rioters in Paris. Most of the streets were peaceful. That said, Macron would do well to help students to address the situations they first protested about.
Now Trump's hot and heavy into developing a "championship golf course" using public lands and, no doubt, taxpayer dollars WHILE consumer gas, food, utility and housing costs are skyrocketing. He clearly cares nothing for Americans, but makes no secret of his embrace of Putin and Netanyahu. 😒
As inflation hits a 4-month high and the Iran war keeps driving up gas prices, Trump unveils his big plan with the midterms two weeks away: a "World Class Championship Golf Course" in D.C. Work starts Nov. 15, closing a public course for about 15 months, he says.

Attention, those of you on Medicare! It's time to shop... choose wisely. ❣️
Ugh... So the Starlink speed in Ukraine is STILL at a restricted level and that's all on Elon Musk. This is disgraceful and dreadful and Musk is downright evil.
Zelenskyy says Starlink restrictions REMAIN in Ukraine, crippling interceptor drones and military operations. He says Ukraine has evidence the restrictions are DELIBERATE after testing Starlink systems in the EU, where they worked perfectly at speeds that cause connections to fail inside Ukraine.
Interesting... #EpsteinFiles
[1/3] UPDATE: Blanche has finally filed his Notice of Compliance and states that he provided at 10:55 am ET today to Judge Sullivan a binder containing the "handwritten notes underlying the typewritten [FBI interview reports]" in marked-for-redaction form. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Apparently Starshield access was fully restored as of Oct 15 for Ukraine's use. But knowing now that the White House can decide at any time to re-restrict access, we can only hope this latest restoration of service will last. 😒
NEW: Ukrainian forces reportedly regained unrestricted access to Starshield on October 15, following in-motion speed restrictions on SpaceX’s Starshield communications network over Ukraine. 🧵(1/6) Read more: isw.pub/UkrWar101526

Trump's economy is HOT, alright... hot as hell with inflation. We've got to get total control of Congress and do whatever we can to turn this crap around while he's still in office.
🚨 BREAKING: Inflation comes in HOT. September inflation surged to 3.7% year over year, with core inflation also exceeding forecasts. Prices jumped 0.6% in just ONE MONTH. Meanwhile, real earnings fell 0.5% in September.
Ukraine said that its military, with no warning, had lost partial access to Starlink, a pillar of its battlefield communications paid for by the Pentagon. Kyiv surmises the restrictions had come from Trump, given his support of Putin. At the same time, Russia blasted Kyiv's power plants...
Russian missiles targeted Kyiv's power plants with no partner warning, again, three days into a US-announced energy ceasefire Russia fired 39 ballistic missiles and 128 drones. At least 600,000 lost power, and four died in Kyiv. 🔗 euromaidanpress.com/2026/10/14/t...

So while Trump is campaigning for the midterms, two of his advisors are in Balkan states providing political voting advice - for hundreds of thousands in fees - to a pro-Russian right-wing government. 😒 Russia, Russia, Russia ..
This is a funny take on Trump and the Russian plague...
Honestly, the greatest public service legacy media could do the country is to ask Trump as many questions about the RU plague leak that they can think of everyday and just let him talk. Yes, we'll suffer some barely manageable form of PTSD, but so will many of his voters.
Russia: Hey, how about you arrange for the US to do exactly what we want on Ukraine and then we'll arrange for you and your rich friends some really great oil field investments? ...Trump's son-in-law hears and salivates....
Mark Zuckerberg says Meta’s A.I. push is a tremendous success. But when Meta files its taxes, it tells the IRS its A.I. data centers are a giant experiment. It does this so it can tap into a "research" tax credit and save billions on taxes. What a scheme.
This is potentially the best news of the day, if not the month or even the year. If Paramount's Ellison is not going to be placing Bari Weiss over CNN and wants the current leader there to keep going, CNN maybe in far better shape than we thought it would be...🤞
Paramount's David Ellison is asking CNN's CEO to stay after Warner Bros. deal closes: Thompson is seeking assurances of editorial autonomy, while CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss is not expected to have a CNN role at close
This is a perfect example of how these outrageous diesel costs, thanks in large part to Trump's war, are negatively affecting not only businesses but also non-profits trying to serve the neediest amongst us.
MacFarlane: The Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio has got the same issue. Last year, they paid $50,000 for diesel to transport their food. Now, they’re paying $150,000 for the diesel to transport their food.

Ukraine is conducting a daring and heroic mission to bring aid to the residents in Russian-occupied Oleshky. So far 4,000 kg of food, water and medicine have been delivered to 100 locations. It's a race against time as Russia targets aid drops and civilians.
Ukrainians are trapped and starving in Russian-occupied Oleshky. Russia is blocking aid and evacuation while keeping civilians there as human shields. Ukraine is conducting a daring aid operation, flying food and medicine across the Dnipro by drone.
Why are we not hearing about our own American soldiers harmed in the Iranian war unless Trump and Hegseth decide to release it long after it occurs? This has all the stink of Vietnam for those of us who remember. 😒
The Pentagon never disclosed that eight US Marines were injured when an Iranian cruise missile hit their vessel in the Strait of Hormuz on September 14, NBC reports. Injuries were eventually added to the casualty record with no announcement ten days later.
This is the part that is so terrible... A company with the profits of Amazon not paying workers enough so that they actually have to end up applying for and receiving government assistance for food and health insurance. Yet the GOP would blame those on assistance for their predicament.
The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Lol, I think the term "agents gone rogue" is gonna be the new sad mantra for these tech companies, as apparently OpenAI's agents broke into US government websites not long ago: the Education Department, the Commerce Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Whoo boy...😎
