“.. Woodward laments that Mr. Bezos has not publicly defended independent journalism .. .. ‘It pains me that Jeff Bezos has remained silent,’ he writes. ‘It is not too late for media owners to prioritize moral courage over financial gain.’” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

Talarico: "If you've seen an attack ad on your TV, that was Elon. If you've gotten lies in your mailbox, that was Elon. If you've received a text message saying scary things about me with scary black and white photos. That was Elon too."

Eight of Ken Paxton's top aides could have kept quiet. 
They reported him to the FBI instead. He fired four of them. A judge ordered millions to be paid to them. Details:

JUST IN: DOJ seems to suggest that no charging decision has been made in its "complex" investigation of Rep. Ilhan Omar, urging Judge Boasberg to keep the search warrant under seal until it is "fully executed. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

Tim Scott on Hannity's show lies that El-Sayed's parents "funded Osama bin Laden"

“.. the latest extraordinary setback in Mr. Trump’s wide-ranging campaign to go after his political opponents.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/u...

Exactly what we need in the absence of a functioning U.S. Department of Justice. An organization of ex-prosecutors and investigators who can put cases together for future prosecutors who will restore accountability for corrupt federal officials and those who benefit from that corruption.

It's not just California: The Trump admin just asked Washington state to set aside ballots received from more than 400 people it claims are suspected to be registered to vote without U.S. citizenship.

“I agree!” shouted James Donald Bowman, James David Hamel, JD Vance, Rafael Cruz, Kashyap Pramod Patel, Nimrata Randhawa, Piyush ‘Bobby’ Jindal, Anna Paulina Mayerhofer-Gamberzky-Luna, and Richard Lynn Myers (Rick Scott) to Donald J. Drumpf.

Kudos to The New Yorker for their November 2 cover. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

In newspapers around the world, the report that Donald Trump raped Béatrice Keul in an Atlantic City hotel room commands huge headlines. In US corporate media, it isn't reported. Ask yourself why that might be. Here's the front page of today's Süddeutsche Zeitung in Munich.

🚨BREAKING: Democrats asked a federal judge Monday night for a restraining order and temporary injunction to halt President Donald Trump and his administration from interfering in the upcoming midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"So, in Alaska, if Peltola wins, her victory is inherently suspect and must be investigated. And in Minnesota, if Flanagan bests Tafoya, her victory is inherently suspect b/c Trump has declared that Tafoya can’t lose, period, unless Dems cheat. This is the long, stupid shadow of the 2020 election."

The Alexander brothers have paid Trump ally Alan Dershowitz up to $1 million to try and obtain pardons for sex trafficking convictions.

Q: You'll respect the election results whatever happens? TRUMP: If they're honest elections (That's a no!)

A week from tomorrow is the beginning of the END of the Orange Atrocity! 🍊 💩 #voteVoteVOTE

@jimbenton.bsky.social

Off the charts Trump family corruption. Kushner got Billions of foreign funds, while spearheading foreign policy. And the Hunter Biden hunters are silent. @MarshaBlackburn

JD Vance: "Gas prices are too high ... they skyrocket every time some tinpot dictator decides to throw a tantrum"

Mike Luckovich, Atlanta Journal Constitution

First off, he’s lying. Because he’s always lying. But more importantly this is all part of his assault on our democratic process, all part of his effort to sow distrust in our elections. He’s setting the table to once again refuse to accept the election result. He’s our enemy.👇

From @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social re USA v Floris:

Kushner took a $50 mn bribe from the Emiratis to orchestrate the firing of Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, according to Matt Cole's new book, Princes and Thieves, out today. To be clear, this is a serious felony, if true.

Big Brother is watching, but now we can watch Big Brother right back. I love that MapQuest is flipping the script. Apple Maps, where you at?!

House Dems Report: “A growing body of evidence demonstrates Trump was an active participant in Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the 1990s. The DOJ & FBI are doing everything they can to keep the 🇺🇸 people in the dark about it.” The report: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

I saw Musk, Alex Gibney's documentary, yesterday afternoon. This is easily the most important documentary of the last decade. Watching it reminded me that over the last decade, exactly two publications have done a stand-up job of covering Musk: WSJ and Wired. The balance of US media has been AWOL.

Here's the excerpt I think @kyledcheney.bsky.social meant to append:

BREAKING: Judge Reyes has issued a preliminary injunction over the golf course and begins with this: "Rarely, if ever, has the United States Department of Justice urged a federal court not to believe the sitting President." ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

Zelenskyy calls out monthlong wait for Hegseth to sign off on Patriot missiles

Huge headlines around the world. In major US corporate media, complete silence. Something fishy here.

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

BREAKING WaPo: Brazil's right-wing Flávio Bolsonaro just effectively conceded defeat to the incumbent left-wing president — minutes after Trump indicated he would not intervene on his behalf.

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

Bash: Did Trump direct you to file this lawsuit in Alaska? Blanche: Trump has been very clear about his concerns about Alaska. Bash: You didn't say no. And Trump is admitting this is political. Do you see your job as helping Republicans keep the seat?

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.

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.
