Cybersecurity Issue Prompts Major New Mexico Hospital To Close Clinics #HuffingtonPost

2. Lawyers say Trump’s administration is withholding Kennedy Center texts while records show officials were in near-constant contact with management. Nothing says transparent renovation like hiding the group chat. #KennedyCenter

Can’t fix stupid

Cloud-seeding missions in the skies above Southeast Asia have done little to snuff out wildfires or disperse the haze that’s cloaked the region for months, exposing the limitations of attempts to modify the weather.

"A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women."

The administration makes releases like this understanding the mainstream media will absolutely never put it in context. It’s like saying Government Issues Alert On Possible Ghost Attacks. The first time I realized this exploit was when Bush did his terror alert bullshit.

Beyond a new rape allegation, the @democrats-judiciary.house.gov report implicates current Attorney General Todd Blanche, stating he "may have engaged in criminal obstruction of justice while acting on a mission to protect Trump," referring to an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. Seems like news!

TONIGHT: MS NOW Pentagon Reporter Priya Sridhar talks to @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social on The #LastWord at 10pm ET.

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social: Trump's response to Obama’s criticism on the campaign trail is, 'I don't give a damn' youtu.be/m3j4r8DzCgY?...

My 95 year old neighbor's friend, a famous choreographer, told our friend that he quit Trump's Teen beauty pageant after seeing Trump leering and drooling in the girls' locker room, traumatizing and terrorizing the young women.

SCOOP: The CDC's deputy director is leaving. Jen Shuford, an infectious-disease physician who had been Texas's health commissioner, was hired to help restore trust in CDC. Now she's out after six months. More with @lenasun.bsky.social.

Anderson Cooper took aim at Trump’s apparent priorities.

Bond traders are right to be worried about artificial intelligence, it’s coming for their job — but only some of it, and not all at once

Some of these members will not be back in January. The ones who return need to know the first vote is the articles against the justice who wrote the immunity ruling. This letter is how you tell them. Add your name.

Trump has influenced not just what the Republican Party does but what they actually believe is acceptable. “We need to understand how far they have shifted their thinking,” Marc Elias says, “and we need to adjust our tactics accordingly.” New rules, new fights. Follow us to keep up.

Trump’s design aesthetic has always been ‘bankrupt casino.’ Anyone who wvwr went to one of his tacky cheese palaces in Atlantic City can attest to that.

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

Red States really dislike colleges and universities because they consistently produce people who don't vote Republican anymore. So they've moving to degrade them, converting them into institutions much more like high schools. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

🚨BREAKING: We have moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Trump from continuing to unconstitutionally impose themselves upon election administration procedures that the Constitution and federal law assign to the States.

The Classic Learning Test is trying to replace the SAT and ACT, @rosehorowitch.bsky.social writes. She reports on why red states are adopting the CLT at an astonishing rate—and why the test may be lowering standards for students:

“Filing a placeholder charge the defendant can’t be tried on, on the last possible day, under seal, in the third case against the same man, is not routine or ‘widely recognized.’ It is exactly what it appears to be: vindictive.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Hell yeah. I wish all states made it as easy to vote as Oregon. The voter’s guide & ballot arrive in my mail. I vote at home, then sign the barcoded return envelope. I can send it back (no stamp required, but do it early since USPS is on the dark side) or drop it in a local ballot box. Democracy!

It now turns out that Elon Musk funded Cornel West's 2024 ballot push in its entirety in an effort to siphon votes away from the Democrats. readsludge.com/2026/10/26/m...

Chocolate-coated socialism.

Reporting on Keul's account: newrepublic.com/post/217159/...

Evidence "shows that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club," according to a new report from the House Judiciary Dem staff. The report also reveals for the first time Beatrice Keul's account of allegedly having been raped by Trump. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

And then he stiffed them!

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.
