Don't let the nice weather fool you, winter is coming! Gotta make sure the kids have what they need. That's the doctor and the dad in me speaking!

😳 #CBS News reviewed court #judgments in over 160 #clemency orders Trump #issued from January 2025 through October 2026, including #restitution that remained #unpaid when clemency was granted:

Verdict incoming in the case of Halima Salman, who’s accused of getting military-style AK-47 training from ISIS. This case was on its way to a hung jury earlier this morning, but it appears the jurors have reached a decision. We’re waiting in Brooklyn Federal Court right now.

ANTI-NETANYAHU ISRAELI: “This country has been fascist for a long time… 60 years of military occupation… we can’t deny 🇮🇱 was built on ethnic cleansing… the situation is dire… daily horrors in Gaza and the West Bank.” From @channel5bluesky.bsky.social : www.instagram.com/reel/DfAharv...

Trump knows his party is finished. This final week is about his ego. Watch Rick Wilson on MSNOW:

Who is buying this?

UPDATE: @justinjpearson.bsky.social on Brent Taylor’s Sexting Scandal🍆 “This is the type of predatory behavior that needs to be rooted out of our society and politics. Tennessee deserves leaders who respect women— not sexually harass, expose their genitalia to, or take advantage of them.”

Get it done, folks

TENNESSEAN: “Gerrymanders don’t eliminate risk. They concentrate it… Republicans designed Tennessee’s 9-0 map, but spreading GOP voters thinner means a bad political year could test the bet.” www.tennessean.com/story/opinio...

Trump’s DOJ has no business in California’s election & the 9th Circuit told them so yesterday Ballots are going out. A junk list from Washington doesn’t change who runs the vote @democracydefendersfund.org & partners make that case in court today & @ms.now got the preview -TN

A nice profile of the technocratic Dem who found himself running against rabid racist Bo French.

⚾️ THE #BREWERS ARE 1 WIN AWAY FROM THEIR 1ST #WORLD #SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP. Tonight at 8 pm, ET.

The Supreme Court declined to #reinstate the authority of immigration #judges to temporarily #postpone #deportation cases, keeping in place an agreement between the Trump administration and #Republican-governed #Texas that bars the #once-common practice.

The invisible people who filled Donald's first inauguration are so loyal that they also attended his rally last night.

JD Vance says of the Middle East that it's "a region of the world made up of countries whose name I couldn't even pronounce"

The Justice Department asked #Washington state not to count any mail #ballots received from more than 400 residents whom it says may not be US #citizens, opening a new #front in the Trump administration's push to expand #control of election administration ahead of next week's #midterms.

“If I buy one you motherfucker I’m not gonna buy it from you.” SERPICO (1973) #AlPacino #SidneyLumet

#Israelis headed to the polls in large numbers for a closely contested election seen as a major test of #Netanyahu’s leadership and handling of multiple #wars. Netanyahu and several other prominent Israeli figures, including #celebrities, were among those casting their #ballots.

Q: You'll respect the election results whatever happens? TRUMP: If they're honest elections (That's a no!)

I prefer presidents who don’t contest the results of elections that haven’t even happened yet.

Maureen Comey Defeats Trump's DOJ in Court in Wrongful Firing Suit! youtu.be/a35FKAfeuHw?...

Both Jack Goldsmith and Andy McCarthy have condemned the latest ploy against Jim Comey. That's actually pretty important: Trevor McFadden is the Trumpiest DC District Judge, and tho the law is clear I have seen him respond to Trump grievances before. Goldsmith www.execfunctions.org/p/dojs-third...

Taylor & Burton — Mexico (1963)

The former president’s #brother and #daughter are reportedly backing #Talarico. Some on social media claim George W. #Bush is too.

Will the DOJ’s cases against James Comey succeed? Probably not, though for Trump, convictions may not be the point. Among other things, he’s signaling to foes that he can orchestrate prosecutions based entirely on his whims and petty desires, without regard for merit. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

"We want to clear our son's name" In their first press conference since their son was killed by federal agents in Minnesota, Alex Pretti's parents called out the Department of Justice for slandering their son's memory and begged the DOJ to "do what is right."

DOJ is now claiming they can add an obstruction charge -- the one they added to cover up their problems in the first affidavit -- without probable cause that Floris and Benavides committed obstruction.

COMING UP: Preliminary hearing before magistrate judge Faruqui in the criminal case of former FBI agents charged with false statements to Congress and obstruction. Things could get very interesting... I'm here in the media room for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow along!

Glad the @nytimes.com headline on this was accurate. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/u...

The unreported ones are the tell. Ukraine counts 45,959 foreign contracts from 151 countries, and the African share is climbing fastest, so the visible numbers are the floor, not the total.
