Also, SCOTUS again. Trump has already appointed 3 lifetime justices. Do we want to him to appoint 1-2 more, potentially 5 of the 9 justices DJT picks?

This is important—41 and 42 are poison pills in case 40 (the oligarch wealth tax) passes. To make sure 40 passes, it’s got to look like this: 40 ✅ 41 ❌ 42 ❌

Who is the government holding in its shelters for “unaccompanied” immigrant children? Turns out, a growing number of these kids were taken away from loving parents and other relatives.

ICE is now separating children from their parents and deeming them “unaccompanied.”

While they’re at it they can calculate how many buses it would take to transport the supposed tens of thousand of illegal voters to the polls and where all these buses are procured from and secretly parked.

They’ll scream fraud on parts of a single ballot they didn’t win and take their wins without a peep on the rest of the SAME BALLOT. Why aren’t the media challenging them to explain how line item fraud would be a thing?

Of course when Russia said Ukraine had bioweapons labs what they really meant was that they did. There's a lot we don't know about the current situation. Russia should be bringing in experts from the WHO to clarify and advise. Will they? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Protected habitats mean better chances for humpback whale calves. Less underwater noise means their songs can once again carry far across the ocean. The future of the whales is not determined by nature alone; it also lies in our hands.

The Iran war is speeding up the shift away from fossil fuels. That's one reason I'm hopeful about electrification. I told @news.abc.net.au why, in a piece alongside Fatih Birol @iea.org and António Guterres. 🧵 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

Unintended consequences of war in Iran are helping the climate
The Iran war is turbocharging global electrification. But experts say the global grid needs to roughly double in size, as infrastructure bottlenecks prevent a clean energy revolution.

THAT SHIP HAS SAILED. Trump can’t simply talk Americans into believing the economy is working for them. Voters are living with the reality of their jobs, bills and cost of living every single day. People are no longer listening to him.

Job 1 under the Biden admin should’ve been to prevent what’s happening now. The usual failure of imagination: in this case to imagine Trump 2 as a possibility. As a former prosecutor and CA AG, Harris could’ve had this under her top priorities to allow Biden to focus on domestic and foreign policy.

My theory of the case is that they’re guarding you while you’re vulnerable. Conversely, I’ve noticed that my cats come running when I’m cleaning their litterbox and like it when I stand guard over them as they go.

It’s important for voters to understand that propositions 41 and 42 are “poison pills” designed to defeat/ negate prop 40. So no on these props are also vital to passing 40.

But did she die “with plague” or “from plague”? 🙄 Live plague virus should’ve been contained so many layers deep in an isolation lab that going to work would’ve been like entering the 7th circle of hell. How was she able to be exposed if she was wearing hazmat gear? How did they clean up the spill?🧹

A gut-punch of a statistic, reflective of what's happening throughout the entire natural world. But using the word "stocks" to describe a wild population of one of Earth's most breathtaking, magical species indicates precisely why we've reached such a predicament. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

First, not realizing that Jack Smith might’ve been at a WOMEN’s basketball game. Second, the assumption that IF Jack Smith had been in Atlanta, the only reason would’ve been to collude with Fani Willis. Did the staffers use AI to get through college? And a boss too dumb to question their “work”?
