Trump's options are even more limited now -- even if he made a deal tomorrow with maximum humiliation (just conceded), the war dynamics involve many more actors now. Other countries/groups always had agency in this war but now they're fighting and escalating.

I think the biggest lesson in 250 years of American democracy is how quickly our democracy can be destroyed, in as little as 2 years. And until a malignant narcissistic sociopath came along as president no one, no historian, thought this was even possible. This needs to be fixed to survive.

NEW: When Trump fired the independent commissioners of a key federal election agency in July, there was a resounding fear that the move would impact its critical election work before the midterms. Months later, the body has maintained much of its work to protect election security.

PolitiFact tweet: Troy Jackson said that Susan Collins “put people like Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court that took away Roe v. Wade.”

Collins did vote for Kavanaugh but it’s misleading to draw a direct line between Collins and Roe v. Wade’s end.

Can someone explain this to me in simple terms? You have AI company experts saying "We expect to cause some kind of catastrophe next year." Whatever happened to Lloyds of London? Do these Masters of the Universe have insurance? www.axios.com/2026/10/09/a...

$What we're watching: Many AI industry insiders told Axios they believe a major event will occur in the next six to 12 months. Even with Democrats in control of the House and Senate, the companies see fractured politics as the norm, including within the Democratic Party. Some of the most heavy-handed Democratic proposals include banning superintelligence or pausing advanced AI development. Others have bipartisan support and even some industry buy-in, including a required kill switch on advanced AI. But experts have questioned the viability of trying to turn off all AI systems. The bottom line: In a real crisis, Washington can set partisan differences aside. One Democratic aide pointed to cooperation during COVID and the 2008 financial crisis.$
