This DOJ does what Trump tells them to do, and they do it, regardless of its merits or legality.
No. The charges are already time barred. Under the relevant statute of limitations, an indictment must be filed within 10 years of the offense, which allegedly occurred on October 5, 2016. This DOJ is out of control.

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.

Not sure if others have noticed but Trump really looks terrible on the stump. Like bloated, bad, ugly, unwell. bsky.app/profile/kevi...

Dems also planning aggressive investigations into Trump's illicit prosecutions: Subpoenas on internal comms and on mid-level actors carrying out his corrupt orders. “Everybody involved from top to bottom will be subject to legislative investigation," Raskin says. newrepublic.com/article/2171...
I do a deeper dive on why it matters that Democrats are seeing elevated performance from young, Black, and Hispanic voters 👇 The huge Hispanic voter surge is a very important emerging story in the 2026 Election. www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/some-addit...

Greater MAGA is having a truly sh-t day, brothers and sisters. Praise be. Vucic gets routed in Serbia, and Lula prevails in Brazil. Not what Trump world wanted nine days out from our election here. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/10...

Liberal democracy remains a towering achievement of humanity and it is worth fighting for.
The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

In which the Speaker of the House learns the concept of polling for the first time.
Mike Johnson: "When I'm in these big arenas, I ask for hands -- 'Show me your hand if you've answered a poll in the last six months.' There will be like three hands among 300 people. I'm telling you, these polls are off. All of them."

Building on @tbonier.bsky.social's terrific analysis below it is pretty clear now we are seeing a national surge of blacks, young people, and Hispanics in the early vote across the country (all data via TargetEarly):
As turnout in Texas nears 3 million votes, Hispanic turnout is now exceeding presidential levels. More Hispanics have voted than did at this point in the 2024 presidential election. What's driving this huge increase? Young voters.

Oh. 👀 They're selling her "wonderful relations with the Kremlin." One of my favorite conspiracy theories is that she's been his handler all along. Not saying I believe it, I have no idea, but it really wouldn't surprise me.
Here's Melania Trump's senior advisor Marc Beckman turning up on Kremlin TV's Вести program to tout Melania's miraculous brokering of peace between Russia and Ukraine so that a Russian-occupied Ukrainian city could be resupplied. He says that Melania has "wonderful relations with the Kremlin," too.
