The shift away from the US continues. Ten countries have now signed on for Macron’s Forward Deterrence initiative, including the UK, Germany and Poland, WSJ reports. Under the plan, France would station nuclear-capable fighter jets across Europe as trust in the US erodes.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

OTD in 1980 West Germany signed what was then largest ever gas deal with USSR. We had just invaded Afghanistan. But our butchery never gets in the way of profits. A message we noted. Imagine, Germany funding Russian war machine & dismissing warnings about it.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

JD Vance is the guy who married a woman who is a US citizen because of the 14th Amendment. The same 14th Amendment Vance and Trump are trying to repeal.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

If the EU, Canada, etc really want to reduce dependence on Starlink as quickly as possible, why not prioritize the launch of the many Amazon LEO satellites which are ready to go and waiting on rocket availability?

NEW: Ukrainian officials continue to report disruptions to US assistance to Ukraine. Read the full update: isw.pub/UkrWar101926 (1/5)

Insulating homes and investing in heat pumps would be more effective in reducing living costs, creating jobs, and boosting the economy than drilling for new oil.

Russia, Russia, Russia was not a hoax. Trump signed an EO tonight exempting Russia from new sanctions legislation that Congress passed last month. The law was designed to squeeze the financial lifelines sustaining Russia's war against Ukraine. Gift link. 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...

Thirty years ago, Susan Collins promised Maine voters she’d serve only two terms. Now she’s a multimillionaire asking them for a sixth. Her current net worth is estimated to be roughly $6.8 million. Not bad for a Senate salary of $174,000 per year.

I was on the telly.

Turbocharge your funnel and your vocabulary with this one prompt.

Abandoning Ukraine will be a stain on the United States for the rest of time

General Keith Kellogg: “I would burn down every one of the goddamn refineries that Russia has today. Take them all out. It’s a military target.” It is the fastest way to end this war, because it is the fastest way to deprive Russia from the means to wage it.

Apologies Ukraine, apologies NATO, apologies free world. As an American, I once again apologize that we put a cruel, sociopathic madman in the White House who also happens to be a Russian asset. So he’s on Putin’s side. America apologizes. Most of America opposes him.

Good to see Donald buy Russian diesel instead of Canadian. I know its right on USA border but they sell imperialist, woke diesel that makes your truck gay.

Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.

Yikes — abc news has fallen… “outright deleted” a story about the Trump boys getting billions in government contracts 🤔👇🏽

Donald has lifted sanctions on Russian diesel. We will use the money to help Iran. Who are fighting the USA. Donald is paying us to help kill American soldiers.

All these guys spent all this effort to get "fuck you" money and can't even bring themselves, even once, to use it to say "fuck you" to Trump. Pathetic.

Me and my friends can't wait for the Skydance merger. We're all excited to Paramount Plus And Chill with our friends. I lost my virginity to episode 8 of Dutton Ranch. The only thing keeping me alive is the prospect of a season 4 of Colin From Accounts.

Endless corruption.

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

The most corrupt administration in the history of the US by far. You could add up all instances of corruption by every other admin in US history and it will not equal the amount of corruption perpetrated by this one in less than 2 years.

Should be bigger news, no? www.propublica.org/article/debu...

The Trump administration and Stephen Miller in particular have been openly peddling rhetoric that portrays “Third World” immigrants and their descendants—as many as a third of the U.S. population—as perpetual and unwelcome foreigners.

Zelenskyy: "For first time in Russia’s history, we now hear that its oil industry is running on fumes. Our target is Russia’s ability to finance this war, to drag it out, to make it more brutal & destructive. Russia’s finances & Russia’s production are what must be stopped if Putin is to be stopped”

Seattle just became the first city in America to ban grocery stores from engaging in surveillance pricing. This is a huge win for consumers against companies that abuse their personal data to rip them off. Watch former FTC Chair Lina Khan explain.

When you vote for the wrong candidate.

The UN has accused a UN permanent security member of committed widespread sexual violence in its war the UN decalred illegal. You'd think the US Party of "family values" would be on the side of the victims.

Flock Safety has deployed tens of thousands of cameras across the country to record and document the movements of everyday Americans, regardless of whether they’re suspected of a crime. trib.al/IkYgAZO

Maybe the most important political story of our time. People just want the bullshit to stop.

When Iran starts firing jet powered drones they got from us into Isreal, Donald will act as if no one could have predicted it. He'll probably blame Ukraine for forcing Russia to develop them by not surrendering.

This is going to do so much damage.

This is stochastic terrorism. Ted Cruz is an extremist encouraging violence.

This should be on the front page of every newspaper tomorrow.

An Anthropic researcher publicly announced his resignation this week with a social media post saying his colleagues believe AI “could kill us all by the end of the decade.” Now, Dems are demanding action. trib.al/I8qPnBR

This keeps happening.

Hillary Clinton: "Xi is thinking, 'They they can't defend anybody anymore bc they don't have capacity. Maybe we can coerce Taiwan into giving up bc there's not going to be support.' If you look at the world map, it's not favorable to the US largely bc of wrongheaded decisions by this administration"
