Here's the entirety of Trump's bonkers call to C-SPAN, which began with a woman (not Melania) giggling in the background, continued with him going on a fascist diatribe about Venezuela, and ended with the C-SPAN host gently trying to nudge him off the line mid-psychotic rant

A parting gift from @RepThomasMassie. From Bard College to Palm Beach, criminal investigations should be opened into Jeffrey Epstein's enablers and accomplices. @TheJusticeDept must release all of the Epstein files NOW. newrepublic.com/post/217663/…

Incoming chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chris Coons: “Elon Musk, Pete Hegseth, and anyone else who played a role in cutting off Ukraine's ability to defend itself must answer for it. Congress must get to the bottom of this.”

House Dems tell the Trump administration and businesses that bent the knee to not delete docs. The Trump administration deletes docs, per whistleblower. If you have docs or if you are being told to change your doc retention practices LET US KNOW. It's important. And we have a secure tips line here tips.hushline.app/to/thebulw…

Taps the sign. It’s all so stupid. Russia should have no say in Ukrainian or European security structures any more than a local burglar should have a say in your home security system. Every concession makes more Russian aggression more likely and more likely to succeed.
It's all been bullshit. All of it. Diesel, energy deals, peace negotiations, everything between Trump Co. and Putin's mafia is a charade. All they're doing is laundering money and trying to lift sanctions. It's all they care about and all they know how to do.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Rep. Jamie Raskin just went on live TV and made clear that it is REPUBLICANS who have turned the government into an apparatus of retribution. Every time Republicans scream about RETRIBUTION, it's an admission. Make sure every American sees this.

Racism Is Alive and Well in Mississippi: They're Trying to Steal a Senate Seat From a Black Man This is naked voter suppression dressed up as "election integrity." Thousands of Mississippians are being screwed out of their votes right now because the state's Republican secretary of state deliberately used sloppy commercial credit data to purge the rolls — and the mess is landing hardest in a race where a Black Democrat is beating a Republican incumbent. Scott Colom is narrowly ahead of Cindy Hyde-Smith. That lead is under attack because large numbers of voters were forced onto provisional (affidavit) ballots after their names vanished from the poll books. Both campaigns admit thousands of people were hit. CNN has the receipts. Andrew Couch is one of the casualties. He'd voted at the same polling place in the last two elections without a problem. On Election Day he was told he was registered in a county he hadn’t lived in for six years. On Monday he was informed his ballot is dead. His reaction: "I'm very upset. If people lose faith in the process… it's going to hurt voter turnout in the future." That's the point. Secretary of State Michael Watson signed off on using Experian credit data to flag "moved" voters. The result: more than 230,000 people — roughly 1 in 9 registered voters statewide — were dumped into inactive status and left off the poll books before Election Day (Mississippi Today). In a state where over 9 percent of residents are unbanked, this data was always going to be garbage. Experian itself has run away from the whole thing, telling CNN its product "was not designed or intended to validate voter records" and that it stopped working with the state in early 2025. This isn’t some innocent clerical error. It's the same old Mississippi playbook: make it harder for certain people to vote when the outcome looks like it might go the wrong way. A Black man is on the verge of winning a Senate seat the state hasn't handed to a Democrat in decades, and suddenly the rolls are a disaster. This is Republican racism in action.

"Decorated military officers with decades of experience were withheld from promotion after Pentagon staff printed out internet searches showing they had attended official events like promoting COVID-19 vaccinations or marking International Women’s Day... Hegseth’s executive office led a planned and deliberate process that involved creating paper-only files filled with printouts from internet searches that were inaccessible to the officers under consideration. Hegseth’s office gave instructions about the new criteria over the phone instead of in writing." ms.now/news/pete-hegseth-pen…

Alternate frame: list countries besides Iran that have profited from this war. Cross check with countries Trump & Kushner are aligned with or beholden to. This is not a US failure if the new mission of the US under Trump is to be so weakened that life becomes easier for autocrats, starting with Russia.
Utter and complete US strategic failure. The US started this war not knowing what it was doing, made things worse by fighting the war with no plan or awareness of strategic consequences. And here we are, 9 months later and all there is left to do is blame the rest of the world.

At six, Mother Randle survived the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. On October 10, she visited the Obama Presidential Center, bringing her story to our campus. Today, we celebrate her life and the importance of preserving stories like hers. Happy 112th birthday, Mother Randle.

At just 26 years old, American Mennonite Lois Gunden founded a children’s refuge in Nazi-occupied France during WW2, saving Jewish and Spanish refugee children from internment at Rivesaltes. Her diary recounts a moment of immense courage: when a policeman came to arrest three Jewish children, she stalled him with calm defiance. Thanks to her quick thinking, the children survived. Arrested herself in 1943, Gunden was later released in a prisoner exchange. For her extraordinary bravery, she was posthumously honoured as 'Righteous Among the Nations'.

I’ve witnessed multiple defense secretaries and spokespeople take hard questions during war time without threatening reporters.
A security agent for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just warned the reporters here — for Hegseth’s first press conference in 6 months — that we will be physically removed from the briefing room if we are not professional and maintain decorum. We asked if that meant no shouted questions and got no clarity. It’s the first time any of us could ever remember being threatened like this. Shouted questions are normal. “This is crazy town” one journalist said, noting the White House has never threatened reporters like that. We’re in the room, back row:

A spa company was close to bankruptcy. Then a fund tied to Don Jr. and Eric Trump invested $30 million. Conveniently, a subsidiary of that fund landed nearly $39 million in taxpayer-funded contracts to handle Ebola in Africa…despite having no Ebola or international experience. The Trump family connections are hard to ignore.
