And the adjudication for rape, and the 34 felony fraud convictions, and the constant golf cheating, and the pathetic begging for the Nobel Peace Prize he will never get, and the stupidity of thinking a cognitive test is a IQ test.

In the official story, when she first came to the US, Melania lived in an apartment at the Zeckendorf Towers that Paolo Zampolli owned. When exactly did she live on Varick Street?

Ohio’s biggest newspaper broke its own rules to endorse Amy Acton, calling Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad disqualifying. “Using childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it crosses a line Ohioans should defend, whatever their party.” thedailybeast.com/trumps-maga-...

Here’s the relevant language in the DOJ lawsuit. It asks for the election not to be certified if Peltola’s margin of victory is smaller than the number of votes cast for the third-party Sullivan. (I expect this to be laughed out of court.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: Hegseth's chaotic secret evacuation of a US base in Bahrain left military families in harm's way. “They’re not telling the truth. They’re not telling the full story. They’re not telling how much damage there really was." www.ms.now/news/militar...

My favorite economist, Paul Krugman says, we have to vote in 'unvanquishable' numbers!

More Trump allies aided that pro-Russian government in the Balkans: The daughter of Susie Wiles, Trump's chief of staff, joined an American businessman in Republika Srpska as he explored a gas pipeline. And six current and former Trump campaign advisers recently traveled there for an election.

In case you forgot what a U.S. president beloved by the world looks like. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 Live in Manchester: An Evening with President Barack Obama. The arena holds up to 23,500 people with standing room, and the event was SOLD OUT.

From Guardians Media Director Bart Swain: Gonna try and play and wait it out. We won’t start until at least 10:30.

NEW: DOJ says presidential records belong to the president — not the people — but an appeals court panel today said that argument would lead to perverse, and even dangerous, results. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Apparently, Trump has told his new Press Secretary Katie Zacharia, that he 'would reconsider' serving in her role if he was her. Actually, I wish someone would say that to Trump too.

Interestingly, both Guilfoyle and Deters are saying they want to take Trump down. Check on popcorn supply.

Zacharia padding the padding #TwoScaramucciLimit

WSJ:  Katie Zacharia has never passed the bar exam in the U.S.. She failed the test in California in 2011. Once she moved to China, she served as an international legal consultant, which did not require passing the bar.

The FBI Director, a disgusting traitor who was appointed by and works for a longtime Kremlin asset, is attempting to troll us…by referencing a James Bond book about a Russian honeypot.

This David Brooks?

NEWS: Eight major U.S. allies—including Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan—have issued a joint rebuke of the Trump regime’s sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court. They vow “unwavering support” for the ICC’s independence.

Talarico is at an all time high! TEXAS IS TURNING BLUE!💙

How do you charge a man when your own evidence shows the reflecting pool unchanged before & after he touched it? Ask the Davey Hearn prosecutors @democracydefendersfund.org, WLG, Steptoe & I said so the day after his arraignment. Then 6 more times More on @cnn.com👇 -TN

We have some big surprises coming up in another few weeks, right Russ [Vought]? He’s gonna be one of the very important people in the history of our country, in my opinion. He’s got some great things happening. ——— Donald Trump; Sparrows Point, Maryland, October 5, 2026 WTH?

There's a takeover of the American news industry going on, pushed by Elon Musk, the Ellisons, the Saudis and others. Democracy is impossible if the truth is buried under right-wing propaganda, so we've got to push back against this "media capture." My Stop the Presses newsletter.

This is sad news. Simon was a big help with this story that showed Howard Lutnick apparently lied about his business entanglement with Jeffrey Epstein—a story that deserves more attention. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The second smile this week! The first was when he realized the Schmitt had confused which hawks game he attended.

A federal judge has ruled that Roger Rogoff, the judicially appointed U.S. attorney in Seattle, has been illegally fired by the Trump admin and must be provisionally reinstated by the Justice Department.

I hope everyone reads this, thinks about it and then shares it. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

How can it be super intelligence when it requires the input of reams of actual human intelligence to run? Most of it without permission of the original artists, writers or researchers. It's more akin to stolen collective intelligence. Super intelligence creates intelligence on its own. Dumbies!

Lots to admire here.

Art is not an algorithm. It is created and shaped by an individual's lived experience. It requires perception, reflection, imagination, consciousness, and mortality. Art comes from the essence of humanity. No computer or calculator can replicate the process. Despite its attempt at imitation.
