Police didn’t believe a 12-year-old who said she'd been raped. Then she hit record.

Cut the bullshit: Susan Collins is "allowed" to vote against Trump when the GOP has enough votes to pass the Trump law or judicial appointment without her vote. That doesn't make her independent, it makes her a Trump pawn while playing her constituents for fools. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/11/u...

In the Senate, Collins Often Defies Trump but Rarely Stops Him
A New York Times analysis of Senator Susan Collins’s voting record shows that she frequently breaks with Republicans but more seldom changes an outcome.

Russian bot traffic has dropped to nearly 0 after Ukraine struck a Yandex data center in Vladimir, Russia
• Source Network: AS13238 YANDEX – Yandex LLC (Russian Federation)
• Traffic Breakdown: Prior to the drop, bot traffic accounted for roughly 99.6% of requests compared to 0.4% human traffic.
• Event Cause: The sudden plunge to zero on October 11, 2026, corresponds to a reported military/drone attack on Yandex's data center facility in Vladimir, Russia—marking the third reported attack on Yandex data infrastructure since October 8.

Trump is helping Russia who is helping Iran attack and kill Americans. So that means Trump is knowingly taking steps to weaken the US and bolster Russia and its close ally, Iran. Does that make him a traitor? Let's have the debate.... www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

Trump officially rolled back fuel efficiency standards today. The new target for 2031 is about 34.5 miles per gallon, down from 50.4. That means more gas burned, more pollution, and more money out of drivers’ pockets. So much for making things affordable.
