Elon Musk is back in Washingto. Musk will help lead "Project Meridian," a study meant to shape "the future of U.S. military warfare." Hegseth handed the role not to a general, but to a defense contractor who'll profit from the very recommendations he'll make. www.cnbc.com/2026/09/30/m...

A day after Trump said his super PAC would pay for those propaganda ads that had been funded by taxpayers, White House officials said the group did *not* plan to reimburse the government for the more than $10 million it had already spent on the ads.

Trump Does Not Plan to Reimburse Taxpayers for Promotional Ads
A day after the president said his super PAC would pay for the ads, which had drawn bipartisan backlash, officials said that he meant moving forward. A new taxpayer-funded ad aired Tuesday.

There is a suspected outbreak of the plague in Russia. Yes, you read that right. And we cannot trust RFK Jr. and the Trump administration to be prepared to deal with this. We need a Democratic public health doctor in the US Senate.

Ken Paxton, caught on video admitting he’s lost control of his own campaign: “I’ve never been in a race where I felt less control… it’s all coming… from DC.” Texas deserves a senator who answers to Texans — not Washington operatives pulling the strings.

Angela Paxton is asking Texans to stand by a man for six long years when she won’t even do it for one more day. Estranged from and divorcing Ken, won’t even say his name, and not good enough for her, but she claims he is perfect for Texans. Angie needs to lead by example.

If you are remotely familiar with Wisconsin politics, you know exactly which three billionaires (Uihleins & Hendricks) they are talking about and what they want in return. Their purchase of Ron Johnson generated a giant federal tax cut targeted towards them. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-best-d...
It is important to provide context here: Johnson had just been re-elected after polling so dismally for much of the 2016 campaign that the GOP establishment had given up on him.

Hendricks and the Uihelins did not lose faith in Johnson, spending $20 million on his seemingly doomed campaign. Their faith was amply rewarded. They benefited disproportionately from the very particular tax cut that Johnson had held out for.

In 2018 alone, the tax break Johnson engineered was worth an astonishing $215 million to his three billionaire supporters, almost one-quarter of the $1 billion benefit the tax cut provided to 82 mega-rich households. Over the course of its 8-year life, the tax cut could deliver half a billion for them.

Michael Tracey published what he said was the ID of the "Jane Doe" in the Cornell case. Then he took it down, claiming he just wanted to make a point and didn't want to see harm to the person he named. What he hasn't admitted is that he mistook info on a sketchy site for official NY court records.
An archived copy of Michael Tracey's original Substack post includes a screenshot from "eCourt Records" and the commentary: "It's [name redacted]. Don't blame me -- the New York Court System just posted it. Seemingly inadvertently. Oh well."Screenshot of Michael Tracey's post on Substack titled "Note on Jane Doe." It reads: "After identifying Jane Doe earlier tonight, I have now removed the information I published. Why? Because the principle has been served: to underscore that permanently anonymizing litigants who make sensational, spectacular, reputation-destroying claims about others — so long as they can self-declare some form of victimization — cannot be countenanced.

It’s destructive, and an egregious abuse of the legal system by huckster plaintiff’s lawyers. This practice has to end. Lawyers who seek to monetize this sleazy tactic should have to think A LOT HARDER about the claims they’re willing to throw out into the public domain, using impressionable clients who may not even know what they’re getting themselves into.

So why have I now removed her information?

Because I don’t believe she’s the main “villain” here. I primarily blame the bottom-feeding, media-manipulating, sleazebag lawyers who’ve made a whole cash-grab industry out of this racket.

Thomas Giuffra in particular has a lot to answer for. He’s the central reason for the current debacle.

Given the intense nationwide and global interest in this case, I don’t want to bring any further negative attention to this woman. I don’t believe she ought to be punished or subjected to any retribution or humiliation. I believe a RATIONAL solution is necessary here. Not more character assassination — of her, the seven young men, or anyone else. Truly, that is my genuine view."
