From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

USPS workers’ greatest concern about Trump’s mail voting plan was a requirement that they reject ballots for an array of reasons. “That’s not what we do. We deliver mail. We don’t decide what goes and what doesn’t.”

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.

When the next US Congress investigates corruption, Trump's oil-deal-of-the-century with Alejandro Betancourt, the face of Venezuelan corruption, should be top of its list. Two kleptocracies working together. Brilliant essay by @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

As Rep. Max Miller campaigns for a third term, a trove of court and police records obtained by Mother Jones details allegations of physical abuse, drug use, and misogyny raised during a bitter custody battle with his ex-wife.

House Dems Report: “A growing body of evidence demonstrates Trump was an active participant in Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the 1990s. The DOJ & FBI are doing everything they can to keep the 🇺🇸 people in the dark about it.” The report: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

WATCH: A defense contractor CEO and his close associates donated nearly $900,000 to dozens of politicians and got over $40 million a year in government funding. He told the FBI that Sen. Susan Collins was his most important patron. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyiFFB7Kjg

“covert surveillance inside houses of worship… “interrogations of churches’ staff… “ICE agents hauled off a nun who was wearing her habit and walking down the sidewalk en route to Sunday Mass… “suing a Catholic diocese in New Mexico to seize 14 acres of their land…” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

In Jared Kushner, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman found an American partner he could steer in whichever way he wanted.

Amid all the Republican pearl-clutching over election integrity, ERIC was the single organization best equipped to help states ensure exactly that. And suddenly MAGA Republicans wanted nothing to do with it.

"If no security force will actively confront ICE, who will?"

Today we (@propublica.org) published this map of every location with an active 287(g) agreement with ICE. (with the help of @tituslegaldesign.com's initial data analysis). Read the story: "The Small-Town Cop Who Helped ICE Deport His Ingram, Texas, Neighbors" www.propublica.org/article/depo...

The same man who recently decided to condemn hundreds of Ukrainian civilians to die from Russian attacks by disabling Ukraine's ability to counter Russian drone and missile attacks has now been given the role of regulating all satellites in orbit. No bid. No law. Just a gift from Trump and Hegseth.

“There are people who are openly white supremacists that are consolidating power at record speed in such a way that they are stripping away all of the rights, opportunities, and access points for you and your family. If that don’t move you, it ain’t nothing that I can say that can move you.”

John Roberts has spent his entire career trying to kill the Voting Rights Act. Now his Republican-appointed majority is dusting off arguments once used to destroy Reconstruction to roll back the gains made during the civil rights era.

Election Day is quickly approaching — make a plan to vote, vote early if you’re able, and get your ballot in a drop box if you’re in a state that votes by mail. If you’re from WA and have questions about voting, visit sos.wa.gov/elections.

With so much at stake—Musk himself has billions of dollars in government contracts he wants to protect or land—it would be surprising if the final days of this campaign were free of disinformation skullduggery and campaign-cash chicanery.

“Americans deserve a Congress that works for them, not for special interests or personal portfolios,” the Florida Republican said in 2025. Then the federal contracts started rolling in.

An American student with a disability is suffering from a broken wrist and a black eye after ICE wrongfully tackled and detained him in Santa Maria. Americans didn’t ask to be brutalized by ICE. They sure as hell shouldn’t be paying for its actions with broken limbs.

A Serbian nationalist leader who courted MAGA just lost in a landslide

Canadian married to an American, dentist trained in America, father of American child, volunteers at American church dental clinic, no criminal record. Does this sound like the worst of the worst to you?! #AbolishICE #CrushICE open.substack.com/pub/eyesonic...

🚨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.

Megacorps* are an existential threat to civil society, as is the conspiracy of billionaires. Every available legal mechanism should be used to deal with this. That's the moderate solution.

Storms batter Europe hitting power supplies, flights and phones

There's something very big missing in the media coverage of the Trump-Putin story. I reveal what that is in the new issue of my OUR LAND newsletter: link.motherjones.com/public/48076... Get a free trial subscription at davidcorn.com. And check out HowRussiaWon.com

They also removed two panels honoring black liberators at the US run military WWII cemetery in Margraten, the Netherlands. It caused outrage. A hero who died fighting NAZIs is a hero, obviously race shouldn't have anything to do with it. www.samueldekorte.com/articles/mar...

going after violent criminals and gangsters like the founder and director of a large food bank

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

America’s historic fight over voting rights is shaping this year’s midterms. The latest from our friends at @revealnews.org:

A trust owned by Texas AG Ken Paxton and his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton, invested in a company led by a convicted fraudster. The firm and its affiliates later sent the trust 15 payments totaling $83K before and during the AG’s impeachment trial. w/ @texastribune.org

The Heritage Foundation adviser who recruited 12 bishops to pray over Trump in the Oval Office claimed a Ph.D. from an Italian university that doesn’t grant doctorates. His listed bachelor’s school is a high school. A Vatican official called the meeting an insult to Pope Leo XIV.

NYPD arresting an ICE goon for trying to steal someone off the streets of NYC. RESPECT!!!

One. Hundred. Percent.

The GOP's latest plot to take away women's reproductive rights? Transphobia.

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...

A carefully planned Russian propaganda operation is underway. Having starved people in Oleshky for months, Russia, with the 'intervention' of Melania, will allow people to leave and pretend Ukraine was at fault. Read @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social www.kyivpost.com/analysis/88041

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days
