Late October morning in Kyiv. We were under attack last night. Once again (I’ve lost count), ‘my’ bridge was hit. It’s closed to cars and metro trains. I’m making a warcoffee. Electricity is back. Just for a few hours. So, life has its treats, for sure.

“…and he is weaponizing the government against his political opponents by using the idea of illegal voting as justification for trying to intimidate lawful voters. It is a tactic straight out of the Reconstruction South” #HeatherCoxRichardson heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-26...

Kyiv. Evening. The generators are singing outside. And all these talks, meetings, and negotiations seem a bit ridiculous to me in Kyiv, surrounded by the sound of resistance, and reading about the end of August 1939.

Perhaps it didn’t make the news in your media. Yesterday, russia damaged the Book Chamber of Ukraine in Kyiv. It holds 15+ million books, newspapers, magazines and maps published in Ukraine since 1917. The collections are now at risk from moisture. Windows in the storage areas were blown out.

“…here we are, watching one profoundly unpopular man tear apart the global system under which we have lived for eighty years in order to climb into bed with Vladimir Putin.” @HeatherCoxRichardson heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-18...

Aaron Parnas @aaronparnas.bsky.social Trump is called treasonous as he agrees to fuel deal with Putin that will fund Russia’s war machine.

"Conservative Cuban Americans have long made S. Florida GOP-friendly. But Trump has deported a record number of Cubans. Older Cubans who lived in the US for decades were deported to Mexico, where they've struggled to get by. Some have been deported to Africa..." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/u...

Friends, please share this important info wherever you can russia is trying to hide the humanitarian catastrophe in occupied Oleshky by forcing people to lie on camera The world needs to know the truth Please spread this as far as you can🙏

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko: 24 people have been injured as a result of russian attacks on the capital on September 28 Three of them are children Six injured people, including two children, are currently in city hospitals One woman was killed Stand with Kyiv💔🇺🇦💔

Bloody hell. A russian drone struck a building of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in central Kyiv. A fire broke out. People trapped inside had to climb out through the windows to escape. There are casualties.

russia has been attacking Kyiv with jet-powered drones. It’s the first thing I see when I check our media. Every morning. A cup of warcoffee is waiting on the table. The sunlight steps in.

We’ve got tons of news tonight from Trump lashing out at the media for covering him to more Republicans running from him. Ranchers who voted for him urge him to stop ICE operations. A big measles outbreak. And more. aaronparnas.substack.com/p/important-...

A drone fell onto a two-story building in Kyiv’s Obolonskyi district, reportedly a kindergarten, Kyiv Mayor Klitschko said A fire broke out at the site, and emergency services are heading there I just heard very loud sirens from several emergency service vehicles It’s likely somewhere in our area

America has an affordability crisis, an AI crisis, and an ongoing war with Iran. Mike Johnson's solution? Send lawmakers home.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Strength. Determination. Will to live despite all the obstacles. A tree growing from the remains of an old one. I passed by it and stopped. Very symbolic for Ukraine.

Today I begin reading *The Coming Storm*

I can afford $9.25 in Dolly's name on Dolly's Day, 9/25 ... what about you?

Apparently all the cruise missiles are heading towards Kyiv and area They will be in our airspace in 4-5 min

I’m angry. Enormously. Today, during another russian attack, a building on the grounds of the Sophia of Kyiv National Reserve was damaged. Yes, this is where the 11th-century St Sophia Cathedral stands. Luckily, it wasn’t damaged. russian barbarians.

A view of Kyiv through art. Yes, I made it to the museum. Got home just before another drone attack. Perhaps I’ll write a note about what I saw. Some things have to be documented for the future.

"Dorsainvil said seven Haitians had reported for ICE check-ins last Thursday. One was a woman who had given birth twenty days earlier and lost the baby. “She came to the office. She could not even walk,” he said. “But they put the shackle on her.”" www.thebulwark.com/p/the-cruelt...

Trump’s EPA has approved several new pesticides and expanded the use of another, despite warnings from scientists and environmental groups about potential cancer, reproductive, and ecological risks.

Sometimes it’s hard to grasp how they coexist here. The beauty I see and the awful war I witness. A two-year-old girl was killed in a russian drone attack on Kyiv today 💔 Thirty-seven people were killed after a russian drone struck a munitions warehouse in Kyiv region yesterday 💔

Kyiv Mayor Klitschko: A drone crashed in Obolonskyi district between residential buildings Emergency services heading to the scene We live in this area Heard explosions about 10 min ago

Hi friends, can you do me a favor and share this and subscribe to my YouTube? It's free and I am about to drop some MAJOR investigations!! www.youtube.com/@aaronparnas1

I love this. Senate candidate Annie Andrews says she decided to jump into the race the day RFK Jr was nominated to lead HHS. She’s a pediatrician. Saw what was coming & decided she couldn’t sit on the sidelines. THIS is what I’m talking about. Feeling called to serve & actually following through.

The stakes are high this November - and people from across the country are watching to see if we'll come together to win. I know we will.

“…a Republican senator from Ohio erupted at the microphone, screaming profanity at an 85-year-old scientist. ‘“Who the f*ck do you think you were?”’Bernie Moreno shouted at Dr. Anthony Fauci”https://open.substack.com/pub/heatherdelaneyreese/p/us-senator-screams-profanities-at?r=29y3gv&utm_medium=ios

Major good news updates!! There is so much good news out there, and I have it for you. My good news: this week a 12 year old boy stopped me with his mom and told me he watches my news everyday to stay educated. This is why I do this work, and I am so proud of what we have built.

Got the chance to see these talented players in action today! It was great having the @wnba.com at Home Court at the Obama Presidential Center for All-Star Weekend. 🏀

Meidas to Ossoff: Were you satisfied with Hegseth’s responses? Ossoff: No. I thought he was evasive and stonewalling, and anyone who reviews the tape will see that.

James Talarico had one message about Jasmine Crockett. “Keep her name out your mouth… She’s a leader in this state, a leader in this country, and she deserves the utmost respect.” 🔥 That’s what leadership looks like. #SheShed

The place that impressed me most in Lviv was one I had nearly decided not to visit. I wrote about it on the train back to Kyiv. After last night’s russian attack, I felt this was the right time to send it. Part of the letter is open to everyone: www.patreon.com/strategywoma...

POV: Me preparing for my Netflix documentary about how Republicans thought drawing me out of my district would silence me...think again.

Trump is threatening Canada with additional tariffs because wildfire smoke drifted into the United States. When America burns, Canada sends firefighters. When Canada burns, Trump sends tariffs.

OSSOFF: I heard a president who is, as always, focused on his personal shame and humiliation, and above all, focused on his personal fear of the accountability that will come when we win this fall

Ossoff: "Privately, most elected Republicans in this building think the president has lost it and is dooming them to dismal losses this fall"
