OMG. Now Trump wants to illegally interfere in WA elections. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

At least 18 early voting centers in rural Alaska have not opened as of Friday, state Sen. Bill Wielechowski says. The commonality? All the affected areas have at least a 60% Alaska Native population — with nearly a dozen having Alaska Native populations upwards of 90%: https://demdock.com/4yTW5Ze

Could it be that Vance is baiting Trump and the crowd? Will he turn in 2028, saying he told everyone that Trump was a tinpot dictator all along? 🤔 I doubt it, but it's amazing how many times he & Rubio believe they're criticizing or blaming foreign leaders while describing the Trump admin.

More than 60,000 fans moshed and crowd-surfed at Turnstile’s free concert on the National Mall in Washington, DC, raising money for refugees in Gaza, Lebanon and Sudan.

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

It's genocide. A shooting is bad, but indiscriminate destruction isn't justified.

I hope Tuberville gets hammered on this 'stolen valor' lie at every press conference. And maybe his residence history, and the 3 branches of government. www.huffpost.com/entry/tommy-...

🚨BREAKING: In a blow to the DOJ, the 9th Circuit rejected its request to bypass a lower court to bar California from counting around 20k ballots from people it alleges are "likely" noncitizens. The ruling comes the night before the parties are scheduled to have a hearing before a lower court.

They filed this on the literal LAST day before the statute of limitations expired. Literally, the very last day. Give me a break. This is garbage.

NEW from me: Last year, Mark Carney set a goal to double Canada's non-US exports by 2035. Today, he's already halfway there In response to Trump's tariffs & threats, Canadian businesses, consumers, & even tourists are taking difficult steps to decouple from the US🧵 www.apricitas.io/p/how-canada...

Last week, Lukashenko met with Russia's defense minister Belousov in Minsk. Lukashenko said that Belarus army is focused on preventing potential external military aggression and thanked Russia for having a joint military group in the Western direction.

You really need to work hard to be the most obsequious member of Trump’s cabinet — by, for instance, eating lunch at Cheesecake Factory and alerting Fox Business, so they can interview you in defense of Obama’s joke about the White House decor. Well done Secretary Bessent! Your move, Doug Burgum!

Trump: Canada is “willing to give us anything at this moment.” Truth: Canada is only willing to give Trump the finger. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

This is the proper response by the site owners. Of course, Ramaswamy didn't just change, even out of desperation. So they should have known. But he's "out of the closet" now, so I commend them for taking action.

Paxton sues OpenAI for failing to protect users - but not Musk-owned Grok AI, which is more harmful in its responses presenting "facts" and produces more deepfake porn. Perhaps Altman should have bought a literal 'get-out-of-jail-free' card, as Musk did. www.kbtx.com/2026/10/23/t...

"Claude accessed aggregate vote counts while on an internal statistics project." One wonders what that project was & why such information was being sought, but unsurprisingly, Anthropic didn't elaborate. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Trump embarrasses the U.S. at every possible turn.

Thank you gods!

The Canadian government's push to reorient supply chains away from the US has boosted real investment in transportation and utility infrastructure, which is up 42% since 2024 That's been just enough to offset the drop in factory construction, but Canada will need more investment to decouple further

The Russian drone operators call this "human safari."

"It's great to have the pope's support" -- Melania pretends that she, and not the Vatican, negotiated a limited ceasefire in Ukraine "She's doing better than the professionals," Trump says

She yelled “fascist” as President Trump spoke at a midterm campaign rally. Almost immediately, she was tackled and punched by male rally-goers. Why has no one been charged? nyti.ms/3Ukw1b8

Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández credited our reporting as the catalyst for the Justice for Citizens Wrongfully Detained by ICE Act. We revealed that 500+ U.S. citizens have been detained in warrantless arrests since Trump returned to office.

Pro-ICE conservative blogger Samuel Sey, a prominent figure on the evangelical right, has himself been arrested and held for potential ICE deportation.

Noah Adams, a longtime host of NPR’s “All Things Considered” whose quiet baritone and empathetic ear brought listeners stories not often heard on U.S. airwaves, has died. He was 84. nyti.ms/4ieS8b1

"I dropped everything, grabbed the flag, and ran." It's a wonderful tradition for locals in Chernihiv region to greet our Warriors returning from Russian captivity. Mrs Nataliia was in her garden when she learned the news. 📹: Visnyk Ch

"Singlehandedly" - as in, UKR and RUS weren't even involved. In fact, they're not even *aware* of the ceasefire. So, does Melania have to share her Peace Prize, or will it be consolidated with Trump's so that it's just the "Melania K and Donald J. Trump Peace Prize"?

"Orders" -- hahahahahaha

Facts are stubborn things. The Hope Florida scandal abounds with them. A Florida judge will not erase those facts from the consciousness of Florida voters. So nothing can dissipate the cloud of suspicion hovering over Attorney General James Uthmeier. www.orlandosentinel.com/2026/10/24/a...

"Rubio’s speech lamented modern Europe’s loss of fire, passion, and courage, omitted any mention of Ukraine—surely a shining modern-day example of fighting spirit and heroic sacrifice. Nor did it say a word about Russia’s campaign of sabotage and subversion." open.substack.com/pub/theunpop...

The second explores the motion seeking suppression of evidence and an evidentiary hearing under Franks v. Delaware and the motion seeking access to grand jury transcripts: lawfaremedia.org/article/come...

The US government under Trump has lost the presumption of regularity and good faith. I suspect this is pretextual for renewed attacks on Iran *after* the mid-terms. (After, because it would be even worse politically for the GOP than things are now.)

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

EUR needs to take decisive retaliatory action. Launch drones "over" RUS that just happen to land in RUS. It is important to unequivocally demonstrate that they will stand toe-to-toe. Otherwise Putin will just keep pushing, and eventually it will come to armed conflict.

Only CA? Obviously a political persecution. The lawyers who sent this should be slapped. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Reuters: A tanker carrying 40,000 metric tons of Russian diesel is heading towards New York. 40k metric tons of diesel is less than 8% of US daily diesel consumption in the fall. Backstabbing UKR hardly seems worth it. Trump sells everything too expensively, except for US power and respect.
