Yes. Different FBI Agent, cleans up undisclosed hearsay testimony abt false claims investigative team made, tries to cushion some false representations about counterintelligence. They basically tried to clean up THEIR fuck-ups by adding obstruction. emptywheel.net/2026/10/27/f...

FLASHBACK — Republican Paul Weyrich (co-founder of the Heritage Foundation & ALEC): “I don’t want everybody to vote… our leverage in elections goes up as the voting populace goes down.” They’ve been saying it out loud for years. Please vote. 🗳️ 🇺🇸

Genuinely what is wrong with him, and what is wrong with us that this man isn't ridden out of Washington on a rail

yes, Arabic folk have won Nobels two Iranians have won the Field Prize someone from Egypt won the Wolf Prize Arabic folk have written some of the most enduring literature in the world Personally, I worked with a number of wonderful Persian researchers at the Stanford Genome Technology Center.

This is like when he swore no one with autism could have a job, create music, write literature. The whole world is only the people he's met personally, and even those personal experiences are so colored by his biases that I'm not sure he's ever known anybody.

At least 18 early voting centers in rural Alaska have not opened as of Friday, state Sen. Bill Wielechowski says. The commonality? All the affected areas have at least a 60% Alaska Native population — with nearly a dozen having Alaska Native populations upwards of 90%: https://demdock.com/4yTW5Ze

PM of Norway & President of Finland spoke with Putin. Then they called Zelenskyy, who shared: I am grateful for detailed briefing and for support of our diplomacy and peace efforts.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) claims a legal doctrine that courts should avoid last-minute changes to election rules to avoid confusion isn’t relevant to its effort to bar California from counting the votes of 20,000 people on a list of alleged noncitizens. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Donald Trump is about to hear the one word he cannot tolerate. NO. November 3 could be the beginning of MAGA's end. But defeat will make Trump more dangerous, not less. The reckoning is coming. And what follows will test the republic. My latest: steveschmidt.substack.com/p/trumps-day...

Reup: The non-answers Todd Blanche gave to Dana Bash and Margaret Brennan yesterday make total sense when you see how much he is pursuing the plot Jeffrey Clark planned on pursuing if HE had been made AG. Clark's plan anticipated political violence. emptywheel.net/2026/10/26/t...

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

To all my beloved elders and allies and friends in the senior community who vote democrat, I pray the Creator comforts you and protects and finds ways to assist you through these difficult days. May your life’s path always be accompanied by blissfully bright sunsets and healthy hopeful horizons.

To all you seniors on fixed incomes who disproportionately voted for Trump thinking he’d protect your healthcare interests. I will not lie to you about your chances of surviving his negligent abandonment but, you have my sympathies.

Fact-check: true

So far no sign of a response from Trump on Truth Social. Should be epic when it happens. 😜

“You’d much rather have Obama campaigning for you than Trump” 👀🤷🏼 (H/T @atrupar.com )

Her firing also violated 5th Amendment Due Process and the Administrative Procedure Act. Invocation of Article III was invalid.

Judge Furman rules that Maureen Comey's firing violated separation of powers. Orders backpay. Govt's arguments violate 2 centuries of SCOTUS rulings & would "unsettle the equilibrium established by this Nation's constitutional system." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Iran wasn't running out of firepower. It was holding back. Now vessels are being sunk, missile tests are accelerating, and the scale of attacks is expanding dramatically. What we're witnessing should terrify Trump's war planners.

NEW: A federal judge has now ruled that former SDNY prosecutor, Maurene Comey, was UNLAWFULLY fired by the Trump DOJ. He orders her retroactive reinstatement and back pay. Comey alleged in her lawsuit that she was fired for politically motivated reasons. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/26/m...

🏞️ Democrats have asked a federal court to toss the DOJ’s lawsuit, saying, “This case never should have been filed.” “DOJ’s Complaint is wholly baseless. The fact that DOJ nonetheless chose to file it raises profound constitutional concerns.”

Judge orders DOJ to reinstate former federal prosecutor Maurene Comey

ALERT: Federal judge finds Maureen Comey was unlawfully fired and must be reinstated with backpay to her position in Justice Dept Judge: "Comey’s removal was not authorized by any statute; to the contrary, it violated (civil service law)" Here's the ruling: www.nysd.uscourts.gov/sites/defaul...

Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course. – George

Just last month, on Sept. 14, he turned 90, on the same day Brad and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. I will always treasure that he and I shared that date.

The resistance around the world keeps growing. Brazil and Serbia are thousands of miles apart, but people in both countries are standing up to authoritarianism. They’ve shown us what can happen when people refuse to give up.

I am calling on Donald Trump to send the requested funds to provide immediate relief for the communities that have been impacted by the flooding this week. New Mexicans have faced the loss of their homes, ancestral land, and communities.

MAGA (Last Week): "Trump endorsed Bolsonaro. Make Brazil Great Again! A victory there guarantees us the mid-terms. Let's go!" MAGA (This Morning): "Nobody cares about an election in a third-world country! It means nothing."
