First Musk said he did not disable Starlink for Ukraine. Now he's confessing to disabling it but says he was justified in doing so. Congress, if you can hear me, we need hearings when Dems take over. www.cnn.com/2026/10/25/e...

Nobody's shocked that Jason Miller is the one posting Bolsonaro's refusal to concede. Trumpworld isn't just watching Brazil, they're coordinating. Same playbook, same people, different country. The authoritarian network is global, and it's poison.

And of course, here is the story. These documents posted via these threads are a companion of sorts to the story. They also show the kind of work that goes on behind our reporting. You don't just go out to the field. You dig. For months Turn every page, Caro said. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

These documents in the threads were generated as a result of more than a dozen FOIAs. A big thank you FOIA staff involved, going through all these requests, doing redactions when necessary, and then helping democracy work by making documents public Being a foia officer is a massive public service

There was a thread the other day on here about all the things that have gotten better in our lifetimes, and it seemed half of them were about environmental quality. (No more smog, no more flaming rivers, etc.) All that is being aggressively undone.

UPDATE: The DOJ’s demand to set aside ballots in California is impossible to carry out and has no basis in federal law, L.A. County told a federal court last night. Voting is already underway, the county said, and once a ballot leaves its envelope, it can’t be traced back to a voter.

What the hell? Per WSJ, Ukrainian drones have been forced to fly more slowly because of new limits on Starshield, the military version of Starlink,put in place at Elon Musk‘s personal direction. Zelensky told Rubio the speed needs to be restored. How in the world are we letting Musk call the shots?

Please note: Even in states that use paper ballots, some voters use accessible touchscreen devices to mark or print their ballots. That means paper ballots don’t rule out a touchscreen issue. We’re being told screen calibration may explain the reported problems, but that has not been confirmed.

3. "Not to my knowledge" was her answer to his follow-up, whether she was related to the man in any way. It’s a free country and people are welcome to criticize her for that, but they should at least get the question she was asked right.

So, word on the street is that news is dropping tomorrow about a sitting U.S. senator getting caught paying male escorts. It's supposedly dropping in the late morning. A number of media folks claim to be in the know. I guess we'll see where this goes.

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Everyone involved in this process — including the Palantir employees — have to be investigated and probably go to jail.

"Vote Safe.Org" is not safe. It was created and setup by Musk to steal your voter information and then subsequently get your voter registration information erased from your states voter files. By the time you find out......it will be too late.

icymi Hegseth just reopened a can of worms when he did his little vanity project to make Musk happy and I am HERE FOR IT

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com

BREAKING: A while back, I sued DOGE (FOIA) to get Musk's communications. DOJ argued that Musk wasn't a govt employee anymore, BUT Hegseth just hired him again to work on a Pentagon warfare initiative called Project Meridian. So we noticed Judge Boasberg. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A major win! A federal court in Texas today temporarily blocked the Trump administration from building a border wall and other infrastructure across the state’s Big Bend region. The fight isn’t over, but this is a big step toward protecting Big Bend!

Looks like Trump’s new “steel plant” in IA, announced to shore up support in midterms from people his policies have crushed, where he said construction has already begun, is nowhere close to happening and contingent on Iowans giving tax breaks & incentives to a company in India.

We are paying CNN and MS NOW to run ads for Donald Trump right before the midterms. You and I are paying for them. And CNN and MS NOW are taking the cash while their hosts and guests say the scheme is illegal. That is the current state of corporate media in America.

25th Amendment? We can’t even get network news to air it or even mention it. It’s a massive national media coverup to hide the fact the we have an addled president.

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.
