Todd Blanche has launched an antitrust investigation into ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, and even Fox News after the networks suspended their coverage of Trump in protest of him barring three news organizations from the White House. This is insanity. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/10/b...

Their news and information sources only paint him as a strong leader and a very smart guy and that's all they see because they are in a cult information silo.

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.
