BREAKING: WASHINGTON (AP) - Judge extends court-ordered block on Trump's renovation plans for historic public golf course in Washington.

This is why Trump just said at his rally that he doesn’t care about high gas prices because people who own stakes in the oil and gas industry are getting rich.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

Congress has already temporarily blocked the rule through December 11, 2026. But that protection is temporary. UCS and its partners are calling on lawmakers to take further action to keep politics out of federal research funding. ↘️

Today was the best day for global democracy in quite a while.

I love the Cheesecake Factory too, I don’t want the people’s house looking like a version of it made by the guy who did the Iran Iraq war

Vivek might not just have lost the election, but any political future.

Elon Musk said on Saturday that his company SpaceX had throttled the Starlink satellite internet service in Ukraine, disrupting operations that the country relies on to defend itself against Russia. https://to.pbs.org/4yIfgF9

El-Sayed: "Don't get it twisted. I love America. I'm so grateful I get to raise my 2 daughters here in America. I just love America enough to call on her to be America for all of her kids."

Makes your heart soar

🚨BREAKING: A Trump-appointed judge just dismissed DOJ’s lawsuit seeking Utah’s unredacted voter roll, with prejudice. The ruling drops the administration to 0-27 in its nationwide crusade for sensitive voter data.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky: The most important thing for today: we have resumed the work of Starlink and Starshield at the speed that was before all these restrictions. The restoration began last night, and in the morning there were already speeds sufficient for using this connection.

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...

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.

Yesssssss!

🚨Ex-GOP political strategist Steve Schmidt has called for the “immediate removal” of Donald Trump’s son-in-law from “every diplomatic assignment” following an explosive report alleging that Jared Kushner secretly had access to roughly $1.75 billion in Gulf money while serving in the White House.

It’s Truly Exceptional….

NEW: New Mexico AG @nmdoj.bsky.social has sued Jeffrey Epstein's longtime lawyer & accountant: Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, for their roles in faciliating the financing and concealment of his sex trafficking operation. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/21/e...

BREAKING: The hepatitis B vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau "will not move forward," the lead researcher says. “The solution is clear here: Take the money and vaccinate as many kids as you can,” @pauloffit.bsky.social told me: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

SpaceX got almost $6 BILLION in taxpayer-funded defense contracts last fiscal year. Meanwhile, SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk, has spent over $360 MILLION in our elections this cycle. This should be illegal — but it isn't. I'll be introducing a bill to close the loophole that allows it.

TRUTH 👇.......

Just 10 people have already poured over $1 BILLION into this year’s midterm elections. 90% has gone to Republicans. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who's spent $100M+ against California's Prop 40, spent the weekend dining with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. These billionaires keep accidentally proving why we need a billionaire wealth tax.

$10 million meant for sick kids ended up funding GOP politics under Moody’s watch. I’ve called on everyone involved in the Hope Florida scandal to resign. I want Ashley Moody in jail for her crime. I won’t stop fighting until there’s real accountability.  #AngieForFlorida

Top of the US charts today in 1979: Herb Alpert’s “Rise” — famously recorded in one take. Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental. As Miles Davis said: “You hear three notes and you know it’s Herb Alpert.”

7/ Listen man, we get it. If you work for Trump, you agree to lie and let you boss steal from taxpayers. But NO ONE believes you. 2/3 of voters now say your boss is enriching himself. And guess what? It's now the number one issue for voters this fall.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Fine. Illegal aggression. Fine. War crimes. Fine. Kidnapping children fine. Destroying infrastructure. Fine. Threatening the security of all of Europe. Fine. All of it is fine. As usual with Trump, the criminals are protected, even advocated for. It's the victims who are condemned and abandoned.

Made a little video about my reporting on “Tommy” from the viral @abdulelsayed.bsky.social town hall

There is much to admire in Abdul El-Sayed's response to the GOP plant in his audience. But one of the most deft things he did was to point out (twice) that our Constitution protects our right to follow *no* religion, thereby casting Christian nationalist Tommy as the actual religious extremist.

Before Trumpism Came To Town....

America has never had a king. All it’s had was us. Still, some will tell you that showing up on No Kings Day means you hate this country, but they have it exactly backwards. Nobody gets up to march on a Saturday for a country they’ve given up on. You do that for a country you love. (link below)

It’s amazing how angry MAGA is about today’s No Kings events, where people showed up and encouraged others to vote.
