This is an impressive level of ignorance to say out loud to a room full of people

Why is this framed like it’s some sort of scandal?

I’ve been in the PNW for about five years now and will never get used to or accept this time of year where it is still dark at 7 a.m. Not a fan.

It was almost a year ago to the day that Trump pardoned former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, who spent four months behind bars after pleading guilty to a federal money laundering charge.

“I’m the one that said do it,” Trump told reporters as he landed for a campaign rally in Florida. This one sentence should make this lawsuit easily dismissible.

Billionaire who's never held public office: "Politics is a tough sport"

Considering this admin's track record, the complete lack of skepticism or scrutiny in this reporting is disappointing.

So we're just doing this then ...

I love this city, but if there's one thing I've said over and over again, it's that we need more waterfront condo garages for collectible cars. The proposed “dockominium” and marina for up to 300-foot yachts also can't come soon enough.

wrote about "Black October," the PHP vulnerability, and the AI-fueled dread and panic I'm seeing among almost all of the cybersecurity experts I've ever known. I think people w/ LLMs are brute forcing software the same way they brute forced social media w/ slop www.404media.co/php2shell-bl...

I guess announcing "we're going to bomb Iran even more after the midterms" didn't have a cooling effect on oil prices

NEW: Trump’s mega Venezuelan oil deal, signed by Hegseth and Rubio, benefits an unknown group of investors and was intentionally crafted to keep the next U.S. president or future leaders of Venezuela from undoing it. @propublica.org saw the secret contract: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

My favorite thing in this #WNBA Finals is the Angel Reese mean-mugging face

Art of the Deal

Rewarding him with a suite and a police escort… “the safety and security of our guests.” Which guests? And your players? You sure?

Speedrunning toward information dystopia

Is this a joke? Or an Onion story that escaped containment?

"...if I see anyone trying to do pay for play ..." I mean, come on man.

Great story from @texasmonthly.bsky.social on the rise of "neo-mccarthism" at UT www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

A president saying clearly and with his full chest “I am directing the Department of Justice” to do … anything, would have been a five-alarm scandal in previous years. Now? It’s just a Tuesday.

Is he just stealing bits from Gallagher now? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObkJ...

I think I found why it didn't match your expectations, Annie

Hey, WHCA, maybe if you're nice and invite Trump to another dinner, he'll let you swim in the pool that used to be your press room.

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

Who made the video, CNN? Which candidate is featured in the video? Anyone? Do they have a name? Why is Acton's mother "estranged" from her? This post leaves out some key details.

If we had a functioning ... anything ... everyone involved here would be dragged before Congress to testify under oath about this.

You are not prepared for the song from Wendy's that is played in this story

It's really a window into Trump's mind that he thinks a superficial change of name is going to increase home values in the state. Sir, two-thirds of New Mexico is in the severe to exceptional drought category. They are running out of water.

Justified ... to stop a woman shoplifting some diapers.

Would love to read or listen to an interview with someone who went all-in on $DJT five years ago.

There needs to be a lot more of this sort of journalistic reflection and transparency. Kudos to @wired.com for doing it.

The Florida GOP should know that news outlets cannot be punished or censored for publishing info the gov gave them, even if the gov messed up by releasing it. The seminal case on this issue has Florida in the name.

Trump immigration policies could turn away much-needed foreign doctors, critics say stateline.org/2026/10/13/t... @chatlanis.bsky.social @statesnewsroom.com

A shrinking local press is making it easier for public officials to restrict access. www.poynter.org/reporting-ed...
