Joan of Arcadia - "Evil is charming and beautiful. It makes you doubt yourself. It asks for one small compromise after another until it whittles you down. And it functions best when no one believes in it."

"When Elon Musk said that we use Starshield against the Russians — yes, against the Russians, but on our own territory. This is not offensive; it’s defensive," Zelensky told journalists at a press briefing.

⚡️️ Zelensky pushes back against Musk, says Ukraine uses Starshield only to defend its territory.

We must end all government contracts with Musk owned businesses.

Trump’s friend and ally Putin the “humanitarian,” according to Steve Witkoff, feeding an entire generation of young draftees to the meat grinder every single day for absolutely no reason.

It’s unfortunate that Zelenskyy and Ukraine has to simultaneously fight a two-front war against Russian barbarians and the greedy gangsters running the US government.

Darline Graham sits on the Judiciary and Appropriations Committees even though she was never elected to the U.S. Senate. These committees have enormous influence over federal spending, judicial confirmations, and the direction of our justice system. She has no business being on them.

⚡️️ Ukraine receives 12 Patriot missiles per month from US, Zelensky says. Ukraine needs to intercept around 150 Russian ballistic missiles per month, but receives about 150 Patriot missiles from the U.S. annually, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky.

⚡️️ Netherlands confirms $1.3 billion in non-military aid for Ukraine through 2029.

⚡️️ 2 Russian army deserters arrested while heading for Kyiv. Both were detained when trying to cross into Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, and one "was found to be wearing a Russian military identification tag around his neck," SBU said.

This was Biloxi, Mississippi, yesterday, where Pete Buttigieg rallied with Scott Colom. Notice anything about the crowd? It’s predominantly white, showing support for a Black Democrat running for the US Senate in Mississippi. That’s worth paying attention to. #BlueWaveIn6Days

⚡️️ Zelensky lands in Netherlands to discuss air defense, economic partnership. "We will discuss defense and economic cooperation, strengthening Ukrainian air defense, and new steps to support Ukraine," Zelensky said on X upon his arrival.

American ambassador to Israel lists Arab citizens of Israel as separate from Israelis

Brutal thread about some of Israel’s new Knesset members: x.com/muhammadsheh... It isn’t just Netanyahu.

During those days, Ukrainian forces acted «a little more cautiously,» but were not ordered to refrain from responding to Russian strikes, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky.

⚡️ Ukraine paused attacks on oil refineries for 3 days as Russia continued strikes on energy infrastructure, Zelensky says.

Moshe Feiglin, who said it’s “100%” Israel’s goal to wipe out Gaza + annex the West Bank, said every baby in Gaza is an enemy (not just Hamas) — was just elected to the Knesset. @DanaBashCNN @jaketapper Here’s are some others making 🇮🇱 intentions clear: x.com/muhammadsheh...

33.4 MILLION early votes nationwide! 5.1 million in Texas 1.39 million in Michigan 1.18 million in Ohio What’s interesting is the nearly even split between early in-person voting and mail ballots. Whatever happens next Tuesday, voter participation is already a major story.

Attn Alaska voters: Some rural Alaska voting sites haven’t opened, while others opened late or had inconsistent hours, creating barriers for Alaska Native voters. Voters deserve reliable hours and clear information about where to cast their ballots.

Where we left off yesterday: Margaret Donovan, counsel for former FBI agent Nikki Floris, was cross examining FBI agent Bryan Witt. On cross, Donovan elicited testimony from Witt that the investigation of Floris was initiated at the direction of FBI director Kash Patel.

Yesterday’s hearing was such a wild ride that at one point, a colleague in the media room threw up his hands and exclaimed, “What else could happen??” We’ll find out soon. The hearing resumes at 9 a.m. ET. I’ll be covering it all for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow along! 🧵🧵🧵⬇️👇

A Brazilian Supreme Court justice has ordered a police investigation into alleged ties between a donor network co-founded by JD Vance and the presidential campaign of Flávio Bolsonaro in the run-up to Sunday's election.

ICYMI — @MarshaBlackburn took Tennessee voters for granted and hid from a debate last night like the corrupt coward everyone knows she is.🐔 www.wsmv.com/2026/10/28/3...

One of the things that Trump said in his propaganda speech that Kash Patel used to predicate the investigation that led to charges against Floris and Benavides is that we had to prevent hacks. But Kash hasn't done that. The FEC got hacked this week.

Momentum.

⚪️ The other Daniel Sullivan has no party designation or incumbent status Alaska uses ranked-choice voting, so voters can rank both Sullivans. And Alaska Supreme Court already ruled the other Sullivan could remain on the ballot. #BlueWaveIn10Days

Trump ordered the DOJ to challenge certification of Alaska’s election if the Democrat wins. Voter confusion is his reason. Here’s why that’s bullshit. 🔴Dan Sullivan is clearly identified on the ballot as the Republican incumbent 🔵Mary Peltola is listed as the Democrat #BlueWaveIn10Days 🧵

The fuck?

Trump just called Libya, Yemen, Haiti, and Somalia "shithouse" and "shitass" countries.

“People are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. Were making a frickin’ fortune.”

Trump's rally in Georgia is over. If you're already a subscriber to PN and/or would just like to buy me a drink, you can do so here: buymeacoffee.com/atrupar Your support is appreciated.

Three days after the August primary, election workers in one Washington county went to check for late mail-in ballots. They expected no more than a few dozen. Instead, there were more than 500 — each a vote that wouldn’t count.

Many of you are asking how you can help me in these final days before the election. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

Here's a supercut of notable moments from Trump's rally tonight in Georgia, including a lot of gutter racism, blasphemy, and reveling in the suffering of Americans who are struggling with high prices:

Trump went from packing arenas to being the punchline at intimate gatherings. I love this for him. Obama, no notes. 🔥

We are making the oil oligarchs rich. We are making Trump and his cronies rich. It is literally at our expense every day. There’s no trickling down happening. And Trump is bragging about it knowing nobody in the Republican Party will stand up to him and say enough.

I’ve already come up with a half dozen conspiracies after seeing this.

Melania taking credit for something the Pope did? I’m shocked.

Political appointees at the Department of Homeland Security wanted CISA, an agency that protects election systems, to acquire and hack a voting machine, which shocked staffers. “This goes against everything CISA represents,” a former official said.

Bernie Sanders: "If you believe as I do that Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in the history of the United States, we need to get rid of that rubber stamp Republican leadership in the House and Senate."

I ha e some shocking news. You can, in fact, “let your body rest.” It’s a real thing you actually can do.

“Honey, you have to put those eggs back — we have to set those $7 aside for killing Palestinians.” 🔥 pro- @abdulelsayed.bsky.social ad rips Mike Rogers for being for “they/them (🇮🇱) while Abdul is for you (🇺🇸)” Israel gets billions of 🇺🇸 taxpayer dollars, universal health care, etc…

Vivek just released a new ad with Acton’s estranged mother that cut out the part where she claimed Acton lied about living in a tent after proof came out that she did live in a tent, so basically the bitter old hag is now just saying Acton lied at 12 about being sexually abused.

Man of the people.

Funny how the Vatican made the calls, but the White House left the Pope out of the story. Give credit where credit is due!

THE POPE, MELANIA TRUMP, AND THE UKRAINE CEASEFIRE 🕊️ Oct. 16: Pope Leo calls Putin. Pushes for a ceasefire 🕊️ Oct. 19: Pope Leo calls Zelenskyy. Same mission 😈 Oct. 23: Melania announces the ceasefire. The White House calls her the “exclusive intermediary” The Pope wasn’t even mentioned.

Using the Presidency to manufacture himself billions in tax breaks through golf courses. Scam artist doesn’t even begin to describe this President. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

oh boy -- Natalie must've showed Trump clips from Obama's speeches
