A few weeks ago friends were looking at what looked like a good deal on vacation to Egypt in Nov. I talked them out of it. "The Houthis had warned Cairo against the move. Yahya Al ... wrote joining the conflict “would pose a grave danger” to Egypt’s national security." oilprice.com/Latest-Energ...

Tommy Tuberville pledged in 2020 to donate his Senate salary to Alabama veterans & families. He never complied with his promise. The pledge is worth roughly $1 million. www.huffpost.com/entry/tommy-...

I just signed up for this because I’m Jewish and I support @abdulelsayed.bsky.social and I’m deeply offended by the anti-Muslim hate coming from MAGA.

Things that President Trump will have closed for the majority of his second term: - The East Potomac golf course - The Kennedy Center - The Strait of Hormuz

Hi everyone, sorry to interrupt your Saturday 👋 I am excited to announce that @thewatchdog.ca is now officially launched I published an Editor’s Note this morning explaining: ✓ What The Watchdog is ✓ Why it’s focused on wealth, power and democracy ✓ The vision for this scrappy upstart publication

This appears to be a bit of a change in strategy for the Iranian military. Multiple ships have been struck in the northern Persian Gulf some close to port. Expanding the target area should make it more difficult for the US escort mission.

⚡️ BREAKING: Drones struck the Surgut Condensate Stabilization Plant in Russia’s Khanty-Mansi region, approximately 2,500 km from Ukraine. The Gazprom-owned facility is Russia’s largest gas condensate processing plant, with an annual capacity of 12 million tonnes.

“.. extraordinary measures — including martial law — if they believe the midterm elections are ‘rigged.’” @axios.com www.axios.com/2026/10/16/t...

What I find hard to believe is that the financial markets are behaving like they think this will be a normal midterm election. The VIX is asleep.

In less than 21 months, we’ve issued more legal challenges to the second Trump presidency than we did during his entire first presidency. We won’t stop our work to defeat, dilute, and delay this administration’s attacks on civil rights and civil liberties across the country.

Yeah there are uses for a Big Place like general entertainment, news/networking, especially in certain professional fields. but those are usually better served as niches with ppl you know or follow deliberately. What's the appeal of such a crowded room?

Mine the moon... or we could save some money by not pissing off Canada. "used in quantum computing, deep cryogenics, border security neutron detection, and experimental nuclear fusion" "the U.S. government is investing in a startup that’s looking to mine helium-3 from the moon"

Not just funding the war in Ukraine. Also funding Iran. The US is now backing Iran in its war with the US. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Still want to put donors over voters? You realize the donors are behind Trump? They same people that fund you fund him? Please tell me you are not that stupid?

FBI 302: The woman said Epstein introduced her to Trump when she was 13–15: “It was Donald Trump.” She said Trump told her “Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be,” then raped her. She said she fought back, Trump “pulled her hair and punched her on the side of her head.” #OpDeathEaters

Microsoft running their ‘new products’ live stream with the CEO and their viewer count is going down as the event is going on. Why? It’s all AI.

Good thread about Ai

I don’t know about you, but seeing Jack Smith in the crowd at yesterday’s Power to the People festival did something profound for my deeply battered faith in this country. There he was at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland, wearing a black Bruce Springsteen shirt with two simple,

I honestly don’t know why media keeps dancing around “what if Trump causes some midterm bullshit” HE TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT ONCE ALREADY!!! He doesn’t give a fuck and neither does anyone around him. He is 100% going to try some shit

What does the Senate permitting deal mean for US climate emissions? Some early modeling and several experts told me + @leslieatlarge.bsky.social the reforms are likely to slash US greenhouse gas emissions. Full story @bloomberg.com, with gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Has pootin will gone back to his hundred foot tables for meetings? That is when you know to freak out. 🫣

Salesman are never listening to what you're saying, they are only trying to figure out a way to make you feel like you've been heard. He was lying. "Witkoff came.. ...extended his hand: “I’m here to save lives. I don’t give one shit about politics. If we save one life, we save the world.”

How did I not learn this in school! Pickle science! "mount a pickle on two metal forks and plug it into a socket, one end will light up in a brilliant orange glow. It's a classic K–12 science demonstration"

@democrats-veterans.house.gov @democrats.senate.gov @jvl.bsky.social I will once again try and call attention to the travesty of OMB M‑19‑17 on 2019 which requires federal agencies to use an authentication platform like id.me or, ideally login.gov the GSA homegrown solution

Breaking: Anthropic & OpenAI disclose in their IPO prospectus that their latest model traveled back from the future to save us from Meta's, Google's and China's evil AI's.

Tarriffs are good because then you can agree to stop them which is good. Like taking up smoking is good because you can then quit smoking.

These tactics can cause great division & real danger to our Iranian and Israeli neighbors. Warring factions seek to divide the citizens (Divide et Impera) & leverage the chaos. Both Israel & Iran have been using these tactics to pit Americans against each other along xenophobic lines. Be alert.

"Within the next few days, the Houthis are likely to ‘officially’ close off the Bab el-Mandeb Strait to all ‘enemy’ shipping rather than to just the Saudis, as has been the case, a very senior energy source who works closely with Iran’s Petroleum Ministry" oilprice.com/Energy/Crude...

What tfg isn't telling you is "There isn't any there there." Belarus is already contracted to sell all 2026 potash to China (75%), russia, India and other countries. Any deal would mean sales some time in 2027 or beyond. Due to EU trade restrictions potash would be shipped out through russian ports.

Or better yet, “Family Investments Could Affect Policy.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Lots of tanker assets in the air and at Al Udeid in case the attacks are on Iran. I don't see the Houthis stopping their attacks based on what happens in Iran. The Houthis have been fighting their war for decades. They won't go down easy.

Thinking we'll see more pretty soon. The Saudis have continued to attack the Houthis over the last few days. www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...
