Fifargentina is cheating again

In August, President Trump announced he had signed the “biggest oil deal in world history.” ProPublica reviewed the deal and found it gives a small group of people largely handpicked by the Trump administration long-term control of the enterprise.

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

conservatives in washington state want freedom and small government in the form of state-mandated genital exams for high school students: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Seems kind of delusional to think we can control this at this point.

yup.

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

A carefully planned Russian propaganda operation is underway. Having starved people in Oleshky for months, Russia, with the 'intervention' of Melania, will allow people to leave and pretend Ukraine was at fault. Read @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social www.kyivpost.com/analysis/88041

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...

Trade policy???

Such a shady immoral deal. Joel Riddle, who ran the company until he resigned in September, told the Times he was misled into believing the money came from a firm in the United Arab Emirates. "It's not only unlawful, but it's not in the U.S. interest," Riddle said. www.rawstory.com/russia-alask...

Cuba mocks US 'desperation' calling on Cubans to work with CIA

Putin brought up the deal when he met with Witkoff and Kushner at the Kremlin on Sept. 5. Putin proposed it get done as a way of showing Russians that they can do business with the United States. The Americans responded that they'd work on it, seeing it as a way to build good will with the Kremlin.

Ukraine reported Starlink problems Friday, losing drones and limiting strikes on Russia. Thursday, Trump claimed Musk had restored service. Friday, he admitted he hadn’t even spoken to Musk.

I have adjectives but they're laced with profanity.

I'm shocked, shocked.

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

This way Russia is in on the deal now, and when Trump's gone, it'll be too far along to get them out. Trump is literally selling us out to Russia.

The department has long deployed election monitors, but the Trump administration's unprecedented steps to try to wrestle control over elections have led to new concerns about DOJ monitoring this year. n.pr/4ihq2fv

In case facts still matter — we have abandoned Ukraine in favor of Putin Russia was never a hoax

The top Democrats on the House and Senate intelligence committees said they are working under the presumption that the president will seek to justify election interference by alleging fraud. n.pr/4yEuVW7

Democrats have filed a lawsuit against Trump and the Trump Justice Department — alleging that the administration is unlawfully interfering with the midterms by pressuring states to remove voters from their rolls.

Christiane Amanpour’s note announcing her coming departure from CNN contains her trademark admonition to journalists: Remember: always be truthful, not neutral. www.cnn.com/2026/10/19/m...

My God, she's awful.

BREAKING NYT: A billionaire wanted a Trump pardon. His family gave Alina Habba a $50 million deal. Julio Herrera Velutini, a prominent Venezuelan, was seeking clemency. He got it not long after his daughter gave Habba, a lawyer close to Trump, an extraordinarily lucrative job.

BREAKING WSJ: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of the military-grade version of Starlink that Ukraine relied on.

If you’re unclear Amanpour’s exit from CNN after 43 years has to do with the Ellison takeover and her coverage of Israel/Gaza you’re not paying attention. Fascism is taking hold in 🇺🇸, as the Trump-friendly pro-Israel oligarchs buy up the outlets.

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

More Trump allies aided that pro-Russian government in the Balkans: The daughter of Susie Wiles, Trump's chief of staff, joined an American businessman in Republika Srpska as he explored a gas pipeline. And six current and former Trump campaign advisers recently traveled there for an election.

The war profiteers say the “demand” for war is “permanent” 🤔🇺🇸😕

This is a hostage video

In Albania, the 'Flamingo Revolution' radicalizes in response to the prime minister's 'contempt' and 'indifference'

I mean, what are we even doing here

Propelled by a lockdown bullpen and repeated comebacks, the Brewers swept the two-time defending champion LA Dodgers out of the playoffs Thursday in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series. n.pr/3VSQpAG

Kinda wild that there have been wild protests going on in Albania for months set off by a corrupt Kushner luxury resort project and there has been barely coverage of it here 🇺🇸 and Trump never gets asked about it.

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

Short version: Russia was never a hoax

This is disgusting, but not unexpected. The Trump administration is putting their thumb on the scales for Putin, despite the fact that it’s Russia violating the energy ceasefire. 

Organized criminal rings target SNAP recipients because of the government program's outdated security features. But upgrading the tech costs money and states' SNAP budgets are getting squeezed. n.pr/4yialdK

In a Wall Street Journal exclusive, COCKEYE PAXTON and his mistress Tracy Duhon caught on video in DUBAI partying with TWO FUGITIVES from American justice, Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, accused of stealing MILLIONS from a Chicago hospital. Ahmed then donates $190,000 to Cockeye's campaign!!

JD Vance running around the country saying he’s fighting health care fraud while his nominee for the senate in TX who he completely supports is partying in Dubai with a guy whole stole over $300 million in health care fraud and gave Paxton $190,000. This is the Republican Party.

Perfect

The government is using millions of taxpayers' dollars on pro-Trump ads, even after the president said this would not happen. And, federal agents search Rep. Ilhan Omar's D.C. home. n.pr/4hEritW
