Both Jack Goldsmith and Andy McCarthy have condemned the latest ploy against Jim Comey. That's actually pretty important: Trevor McFadden is the Trumpiest DC District Judge, and tho the law is clear I have seen him respond to Trump grievances before. Goldsmith www.execfunctions.org/p/dojs-third...

The CDC's deputy director and chief medical officer, Jennifer Shuford, is resigning after just four months in the role. Shuford, a Trump appointee, is an infectious disease expert and had reportedly disagreed with the administration's vaccine policies sciam.com/article/cdc-...

Trump's anti-Muslim remarks about Abdul El-Sayed at a recent rally in Michigan are astonishing—even by recent standards, @dgraham.bsky.social argues. In The Atlantic Daily, he explores the damage of the president's bigotry:

Jeremy Lewin killed hundreds of thousands without a signed employment agreement.

Incidentally, little known fact: At least one of the Jan6ers (a MAGA tourist), a Brazilian, made sure to get proof of pardon so he could continue to pursue his asylum case that his prosecution would have precluded.

Wow. Stephen Miller is about the change the rules on who can claim asylum.

Puerto Ricans are already facing serious challenges as it is, including water shortages and ongoing infrastructure struggles. Instead of receiving the support they desperately need, communities are now facing increased ICE activity.

Trump and Republicans are restarting their voter fraud misinformation machine ahead of the midterms. When I checked, Republican candidates were implicated in voter fraud at up to 38,000x the public’s rate. If they were actually worried about voter fraud, they’d start with their own candidates.

I always ask anti-Ukraine people, "What if Russia did this to the US?". They think it can't happen here. Opening door?: The Russian presidential envoy proposed a 70-mile undersea rail and cargo tunnel connecting Chukotka, Russia, to Alaska beneath the Bering Strait. www.reuters.com/world/kremli...

One of the most important financial stories out there if you want to know how and why the same five evil guys wind up owning everything.

An atheist requested a "religious accommodation" to refuse AI at work—and his university agreed. David Durman says generative AI conflicts with his Humanist beliefs. Kudos to @americanhumanist.bsky.social for making it happen! www.friendlyatheist.com/p/atheist-wi...

Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

“The Voluntary Exit Offer reflects an important part of how we’re evolving our approach to change: creating greater flexibility and, where possible, more ways for employees to shape their next chapter,” Amy Coleman, an executive vice-president and chief people officer, told employees in a memo.

Since January, ICE has detained and sought to deport a man who has insisted he was born to a prominent family in Jamaica. But his lawyers say he's a U.S. citizen who has delusions as a result of mental illness.

Trump’s presidency is a wealth transfer from the bottom to the top

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.

Tonight we are witnessing a profound moral contradiction with an Israeli government facing credible allegations of genocide, being treated as a legitimate democratic partner by Western governments and endorsed by the USA for reelection.

Trump’s DOJ has charged James Comey AGAIN, this time under the Espionage Act over a 2016 New York Times story. In DOJ’s own words, Comey had staff talk to a reporter to “correct misinformation” in a Reuters article.

NEW: A Florida cybersecurity company promised to help clients recover data from ransomware attackers. In a 2019 story, we found the company was making secret payments to hackers and pocketing hefty fees from clients. The CEO was just indicted for fraud.

In comments at a private police conference, Flock CEO Garrett Langley said backlash to the company wasn't "real" and the work of "bots." Also he said his wife advised him to never apologize. Read now: www.404media.co/in-leaked-au...

Half a million West Bank invaders, nearly all white Jewish, are entitled to vote in tomorrow's election, while the 3.5 million Palestinians residents there, nearly all Arab, are not. This is exactly, definitionally, apartheid.

Brown and RISD students have taken the streets, joined by Providence community members, to demand justice for Nolan Wells and Kohen Wiley! Nolan Wells didn't drown, police executing 1 year old Kohen could never possibly be justified, and we are fed up with the racist capitalist system.

Elon Musk uses ties with other tech bro media monopolists and raw cash payments to successfully suppress distribution of Alex Gibney's explosive documentary "Musk." After TikTok Suspended Its Account for Two Days, the Elon Musk Documentary is Almost Gone From Theaters, and Musk

Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

After years of delays, appeals, denials, and litigation, New York City's most secretive agency may finally be forced to cough up a tranche of public documents revealing details of police surveillance programs. hellgatenyc.com/nypd-foil-co...

Administration has a real data manipulation problem: - DHS exaggerates immigrants who’ve left US - Patel's FBI pads crime stats - IRS hides tax cut data until after midterms - Census excludes immigrants www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

New from me: The US has faced a higher cost than any other country from the global Hormuz oil shock, with the crisis adding $160 billion to its fuel bill — or $471 per person on average — despite being the world’s largest oil producer.

"After the surgeon removed my tumor, my stomach looked like a horror movie connected by twelve inches of staples and yellowish pink flesh. He instructed me to keep my wound clean, but the correctional officers assigned to me refused to let me shower for 7 days. I was also denied food for 5 days."

The House Judiciary Committee Democrats have released a report containing testimony from 11 women regarding allegations of sexual assault, including a new rape allegation, against President Trump in relation to Jeffrey Epstein that the lawmakers say has been deliberately covered up by the DOJ.
