I was on a base in Helmand province with a large international contingent during OEF. We heard the announcements when a coalition member died and when we lost one of our troops. It hurt every time. I know our allies gave just as much sweat and blood as we did. They deserve our thanks and respect.

“We’re making a fricking fortune,” Trump said. Who’s the we? “We” is he…the Trump family…billionaire cronies profiting off of the corruption and crime…oil execs who gave him millions. This is the “we” who Trump cares about—always has, always will. www.americaamerica.news/p/showing-tr...

Trump has only allowed the transfer of 24 patriot missiles to Ukraine over the last 3 months. That is only 2 interceptors a week. Rather than ending patriot deliveries, Trump is sending a tiny amount so people can't complain he stopped while 95% of Russia's missiles still get to hit their targets.

@marcelias.bsky.social : “Mr. Blanche... we have beaten you and your team in court like a drum. So I hope you don't do what you are threatening or insinuating you might do. But if you do, I will see you in those courtrooms. I will win. And then I will dance on your head for those victories.”

The truest thing JD Vance has said in a long, long time.

NEW: At least 18 voting centers in Alaska Native communities have not opened despite early voting having already started in the state last week. “There is no legal excuse for the failure to open these sites,” one state senator wrote to the Alaska elections chief.

Life was already hard enough before Donald Trump lied us into war, before his tariffs made everything more expensive, and before he doubled your health insurance premiums and slashed Medicaid.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Simon & Shuster has responded to Jared Kushner's threats by accelerating the release of Matt Cole’s Princes and Thieves, with the book now available for purchase two days early (today). Buy your copy immediately. www.status.news/p/jared-kush...

If Brazil can reject Trump, the Broligarchs and right-wing authoritarianism, so can we.

I hope Natalie shows Trump this clip of Harry Enten comparing Obama's popularity with his unpopularity

what a night

🚨 NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that the Trump DOJ ILLEGALLY fired prosecutor Maurene Comey, ordering retroactive reinstatement and backpay. The judge ripped the DOJ’s defense as bordering on “frivolous” and rejected its sweeping claims of executive power.

You'd think that Trump's decision to turn control of Alaska's massive LNG port project to the Kremlin (Novatek) would be big news in Alaska. But so far, ADN hasn't reported even a word about it. I wonder why.

After many obstacles were placed in her way, including by the Trump administration, the leader of the Venezuelan democratic opposition is back in Venezuela

wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!

Gas prices are “temporarily” high, says the president. That’s because Republicans are temporarily in power. Vote.

Trump wants a “little” war with Iran. But Iran gets a vote, too. With oil at $117, missile defenses depleted, and Iran threatening massive retaliation, Brett Erickson explains why this could spiral out of control.

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

The Trump administration and the Venezuelan government have struck a deal to exploit Venezuela’s oil—but their partnership is good for the rich and no one else, @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu reports. theatln.tc/PANSlDZN

Obama: "You got the defense sec who is like a laser focused on important matters like the jawline & testosterone level of our troops, and livestreaming executions because that's how he thinks you cultivate that manly warrior spirit. How much time do you think this man spends in front of the mirror?"

This admission alone is an impeachable offense

A beautiful obituary for Noah. @nytimes.com @npr.org www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/b...

Scoop: White House lawyers are weighing preemptive mass pardons for junior staff, sources says Under discussion: Pardoning everyone involved in deportation, war, or trade policy www.washingtonsun.com/whitehouse/w...

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Mary Peltola's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Elias Law Group has filed to fight DOJ's lawsuit to rig the Alaska Senate election. We will win this case, Mary will win this election, she will be certified and seated.

When I originally posted that Elon Musk slowed StarLink and StarShield service to Ukraine, seriously eroding Ukraine's ability to intercept Russian jet-powered drone and missile attacks on civilians, various responders tried to lecture me that "Musk cannot throttle StarShiled." He did. 1/2

The corruption that is putting money in Trump's pockets is costing all of us.

US executives quit as Trump turns control over massive Alaska energy project to Putin underlings. The former chief executive of a $25bn US gas export venture says Russian energy giant Novatek was given control of the project by Trump, triggering a mass resignation of company leadership

👀 Republican on why he backs @abdulelsayed.bsky.social 👇🏽

NEW: Experts roundly panned DOJ's Alaska lawsuit as frivolous, viewing it more as an effort to sow distrust and chaos at the president's behest. One noted it seems to cut against DOJ's own guidance about the limits of its role in election processes. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

We could have cheap clean energy if we weren't ruled by idiots.

Jared Kushner has been accused of holding two secret bank accounts in the Middle East that were exposed by Russian operatives who hacked his phone.

🚨 HERE WE GO AGAIN: Trump's DOJ has filed a lawsuit seeking to block certification of Alaska's Senate election if Democrat Mary Peltola defeats Republican Dan Sullivan.

SEXTON: What has the Trump administration been working on to help people pay their bills? SCOTT BESSENT: The Biden administration ...

Musk’s SpaceX is still restricting Starlink in Ukraine and the toll is rising. Musk is killing people in Ukraine. What did Putin promise Musk?!! www.cnbc.com/2026/10/23/u...

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

The bigger question is how Musk can hold a security clearance or oversee the operations of a company with supersensitive and classified government contracts. Several FBI agents bluntly asked that question. They all got fired or reassigned and their supervisors were unable to answer their questions.

ALERT: Veterans ask court for prelim. injunction to halt construction of Trump Monumental Arch, which Admin wants to begin Nov. 5 "Defendants’ plans are unlawful; the threatened harm is imminent; and the public interest leans heavily against allowing defendants to blaze ahead"

Ukrainian attacks on Russia's oil industry have been absolutely devastating to Russia. So it did the only thing left to so: it starting pulling the strings on its sock puppet, Trump.

Seizing Elon Musk's assets and trying him for treason would not be the first time in history when enemies of America from among the wealthy saw their fortunes confiscated.

It's bleak that Serious News Outlets will tie themselves into knots writing headlines that obscure the horrors of a story while @people.com just waltzes in and calls it like it is.

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.”

Do not back down @ilhanmn.bsky.social. Never back down to these fascists.

🚨 NEAR MISS: Never-before-seen footage of a missile attack on a U.S. base in the United Arab Emirates shows a missile striking just meters away from American personnel caught out in the open. From our earlier reporting (link in reply).

NEWS: Jared Kushner reportedly had a secret Dubai bank account holding hundreds of millions of dollars from Azerbaijan, and he allegedly used it as a slush fund to pay a warlord, a mercenary, and a former hit man. There is no end to the corruption and depravity of these people.
