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

Seems fairly obvious this is a must do when you read the sentence aloud, “Lawmakers in the U.S. from both parties have called for a formal probe into Musk and SpaceX over alleged unilateral changes the company made to its services in Ukraine.”

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

President Trump temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether. Our investigative reporter Eric Lipton explains how corporate interests took power inside the EPA. Read more: nyti.ms/4il3336

🇺🇦 Zelensky suggested why Putin wanted to resume negotiations with Ukraine "Perhaps there are some agreements between America and Russia that I don't know about," the president said.

Musk does not have a right to his customers but our government is pretending he does.

Max Miller said people have been "using Social Security as a safety net when it was" never "supposed" to be one. My parents moved in with me because Social Security wasn't enough of a safety net. That's the difference in this race.

Watch this with Trump at his side, remember the dissents in the birthright citizenship case — www.lawdork.com/p/six-opinio... — and understand there are no limits, no places they wouldn’t go.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Liberal democracy remains a towering achievement of humanity and it is worth fighting for.

NEW: Brent Taylor is the front-runner for one of Memphis’ congressional districts, recently redrawn from majority Black to majority white. As state senator, he repeatedly used his power to supersede local officials — and the will of the city’s voters. with @mlk50.com

OTD in 1921, President Warren G. Harding spoke in Birmingham, Ala., and surprised many by pointedly condemning lynching of Black Americans. Here's a piece I wrote several years ago that mentions Harding's speech that day and explores the history of anti-lynching legislation in the United States.

Dunno, but this feels like one of those headlines from 2006 we were all looking back at in 2009 -- "Wall Street celebrates new ways or reducing mortgage risk" or the like. "Meta unveiled a plan to raise up to $95 billion in waves of stock offering." www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta...

If Brazil can reject Trump, the Broligarchs and right-wing authoritarianism, so can we.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Brazil. Absolutely amazing. Let's do it here next.

Cindy Hyde-Smith has 8 days until Election Day to face Mississippi voters in a town hall or debate.

Putin is meddling in the midterms to help Trump by once again mounting a covert disinformation operation that’s spreading phony sex abuse allegations about a Democrat. Ought to be big news.

David Jolly: "The problem in this environment is not that I used to be a Republican. It's that Byron Donalds still is one."

The U.S. is the only major economy where planet-warming pollution has increased dramatically in the last year.

Thomas Phillips, longtime Republican chief justice of the Supreme Court of Texas, announces he's backing Democrat James Talarico for Senate. "Paxton’s longstanding reputation will embarrass Texas in ways our state simply cannot afford." www.beaumontenterprise.com/opinions/art...

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

ICE thugs are sending immigrants to countries that they have never been to, because there are orders by judges protecting them from being returned to their home country due to persecution. But these third party countries are sending them back to their home country, anyway. #ICELawlessness

Thank you, Ed Miliband. And let's not forget that the Emiratis sit at the core of this tragedy, and Trump's buddy Erik Prince is also mysteriously fluttering around it.

As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shooter…

Led my colleagues in calling on the IRS to release long-delayed data showing how Congressional Republicans H.R.1 impacted millions of people’s tax returns. The public has the right to know who is benefiting from this bill.

It’s peak Trumpism when Republicans blow up a school full of Iranian Muslim girls and then call an American politician a terrorist because he’s Muslim.

Reading thru an ex-Google exec's deposition unsealed last night, these excerpts stopped me cold. Brings questions of IAB's independence, especially given its silence on Google's antitrust violations. And little hope it'll speak up about Meta's sweeping new commercial terms. 1/2

Who does the ocean belong to? I asked Otto Spijkers of Leiden University to explain the law of the sea, from territorial waters and fishing rights to deep-sea resources and international disputes. We also built a glossary to make the key terms easy to follow. ⬇️🌊

Why is Trump's DOJ refusing to release ALL of the Epstein files or prosecute the abusers identified in those files? Is it because the files keep implicating Trump? We need a special prosecutor to get to the truth.

It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

Judge Reyes is fresh outta fucks this day. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

Astonishing: Maxwell was willing to tell Blanche about some of Trump's rapes, and he ordered her not to. "Let's not talk about inviduals." WTF were they there to talk about? There's EVIDENCE on this.
