JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

nytimes.comHow Trump Gave the Worst Polluters a Free Pass (Gift Article)The president temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether.

As we end another long day, Democracy Docket is tracking three cases in the Supreme Court that could affect the 2026 midterms: USPS mail-in ballot restrictions, Missouri redistricting, and DHS voter lists. My ask is simply this: Support Democracy Docket by subscribing now. demdock.com/4w6emld

Today's the day, Virginia. If you’ve already voted, amazing. Text your friends. Text your family. Be a little annoying about it – that’s allowed today, because that’s how important this election is. Polls are open until 7pm. LFG!

Glad to see outrage over Israeli military's desecration of Jesus on a cross in Lebanon. But should be more outage over Israeli military under Netanyahu backing Israeli settlers trying to cleanse Christians (and Muslims) from West Bank to make it Jewish only www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

There's so much happening. From Epstein, to Trump and his cronies' corruption, and then back to Epstein. But we can't forget about Minnesota. Especially since right-wing media and social media are pushing imaginary insurrection scenarios and speculation about the beginning of a civil war.

contrarian.substack.comMinnesota and the U.S. ConstitutionThere is no insurrection occurring in Minnesota. The state's response has been peaceful-- relying on the Constitution, the laws, and the courts

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

"No one's going to build a factory based on a tariff that's on on Monday, off on... Tuesday, the president's changed his mind by Wednesday, he gets hormonal by Thursday and someone says something nasty in the middle school cafeteria on Friday and they're back on again."

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

Always keep your cameras rolling. Federal officials are scheduled to appear in court today, where they’ll face questions over whether the government breached a prior order by deploying tear gas during immigration enforcement operations in the Chicago area.

The Teflon is off the Don. Pedophilia & sex trafficking allegations are sticking. Donal Trump has become one of those scratched-up, pitted, nasty, old, nonstick pans like you see at the Good Will. The Teflon is off the Don.

1. Federal agents from ICE and other agencies are wrongly detaining U.S. citizens, sometimes detaining them for days, on suspicion that they are undocumented immigrants. The raids are done without search warrants or other procedures designed to protect civil liberties.

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans. Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies. Folks, I think America First might be a scam.
