The unfathomable corruption

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

wow -- a protester directly behind Vance gets up and yells "release the Epstein files!" Vance suggest he's an illegal immigrant.

In the seashells case, the FBI tried for a year to prove Comey was exposed to slang use of “86” to mean “kill” in Mafia cases. They found zero. Indicted anyway. Now a true expert says govt theory is “preposterous.” By me in @lawfaremedia.org www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

At 10am Judge Ana Reyes will begin an evidentiary hearing in the golf course case at 10am. I'll try to live-blog from the US Courthouse media room for @lawfaremedia.org . This is a case to stop Trump from converting a historic public golf course, open to all, to a Trump style championship course.

The Johnson recess situation is a real problem, and timing is key: the House can't pass Ukraine aid while it's out, and the Senate still has a vote pending. The clearer sign is that the fight over aid keeps getting pushed aside until the deadline passes.

147 Republicans voted to overturn the 2020 election to keep Trump in power and the coup has been ongoing, while they have ceded their powers. Speaker Johnson recessed Congress, for the ultimate betrayal against Ukraine and the U.S., by aligning with Russia. #SheShed www.huffpost.com/entry/republ...

What an insane weekend. Trump lifts sanctions on Russia. Republicans revolt. Zelenskyy sounds the alarm. New questions emerge over Ukraine’s restricted Starshield access. A devastating new NBC poll for Trump. And a whole lot more. Whew! The weekend bulletin is here:

meidasplus.comToday in Politics, Bulletin 483. 10/18/26… AP: “Trump’s abrupt decision to waive sanctions on Russia days before they were to take effect drew outrage from members of Congress, which had overwhelmingly passed the legislation in a bipartisan ...

Zelenskyy: "If the United States supports Putin, it's unbelievable, it's a tragedy. It's a historic mistake. If United States officially takes the side of Russia, of course we will not prevail and we will not be able to stand."

WELKER: Who do you think is to blame for the disruption to the Starlink and Starshield services? ZELENSKYY: Of course the message came from the American government WELKER: Has the system been fully restored? ZELENSKYY: No, no. We have limitations.

This is not okay. Trump’s administration is threatening “devastating” retaliation if European officials move forward with plans that could restrict Elon Musk’s Starlink access to parts of the European market.

Trump issues a "Complete and Total Endorsement" of Netanyahu, warning Israelis that if they elect anyone else, "America will have to do this work ourselves" in Iran. He calls Bibi an "even greater Partner for Peace" for waging the war with him.

“THIS COULD EXPLODE.” Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling issues an alarming warning about the expanding conflict involving Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and the Red Sea. “This could explode into a regional dynamic that will quickly spiral out of control.”

“I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, Katie, but here's the thing. Mr. Musk has done this before.” Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling tells Katie Phang that Musk previously shut down Starshield because he disagreed with Zelenskyy, then connects that allegation to Trump's latest ceasefire demands.

Trump is siding with Russia. Again. He’s attacking Zelenskyy for striking Russian oil refineries, while Russia has been relentlessly bombing Ukraine’s energy grid and civilian targets. 1/

But, of course, Convicted Felon Donald Trump is looking for more ways to screw over the American people. How does a new golf course lower the cost of gas and groceries?

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

As inflation hits a 4-month high and the Iran war keeps driving up gas prices, Trump unveils his big plan with the midterms two weeks away: a "World Class Championship Golf Course" in D.C. Work starts Nov. 15, closing a public course for about 15 months, he says.

Watching Vance light his 2028 prospects on fire in real time is something

The husband of a U.S. soldier killed in Trump's Iran war confronts JD Vance over alleged military leadership failures that led to the deaths of his wife and five other service members. JOEY AMOR: “There's a failure in the leadership.” VANCE: “This is literally the first time I've heard of this.”

Protesters in Ocean Beach, San Fransisco made a human banner on No Kings Day today to encourage people to vote early for the most consequential midterm elections in US history. Beautiful.

Meta claims it was all a big whoopsie that No Kings organizers were locked out of their accounts as the protests began today

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

Kat reposted

Trump waiving sanctions against Russia is the most predictable thing ever. The silence of some GOP elected officials is likewise the most predictable thing. Throw the trash out in November. This isn’t funny anymore

If you’re advising POTUS to declare martial law, or use other executive powers in an attempt to interfere with a lawful election that you’re expecting to lose, you’re a piece of shit human and an even worse American. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I’m seeing very little about the over 2,500 No Kings protests today.. more video is on Twitter but all comments on there are MAGA or bots. Has even Bluesky fallen? Depressing
