Americans see this for what it is - President Trump is abusing his power to go after political opponents weeks before an election.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Extraordinary how two Upstate speeches offered 74 years apart to the day, by Donald Trump and Harry Truman - Trump’s in Syracuse, Truman’s a night earlier in Buffalo - could be seen as a direct point and counterpoint in their visions for America and the postwar world. My column:

#OTD in 2006, Buffalo got thundersnow. In October. Nearly two feet of heavy, wet snow landed on trees still full of leaves, snapping limbs across the city and cutting power to some 400,000 customers. Locals called it the October Surprise. Some called it Arborgeddon. #WNYHistory #history #Buffalo
A beige sedan parked in the street in front of some houses is crushed under a large tree which has fallen across it vertically. The tree still has a quantity of yellow leaves on it, and there is slushy snow on the ground.

More so than that section that is almost street running. But (not to be a railroad snob) being from WNY, if it wasn't built at least as a two-track line (even if it now only has a single track) it doesn't look like a mainline.

Is there a cleverer way that Ukraine could have hit back at Trump doing a dirty oil deal with Putin to help him with gas prices in the midterms than turning off the army of Russian propagandists posing as heartland Americans with concerns about trans socialists?

When this portable, window-mount, heat pump came out it was $4,000-$5,000 to purchase and install. Now it is down to ~$3,000. It's a cold-climate heat pump that operates to -22°F, runs on 120V and you can still see out the window! 🧪💡🔌☀️💨💧🔋

The Times tries to soft-pedal it, but most of the Republicans in the story who got death threats got them after they made Trump mad (and, in one case, when he said they "deserved death"). It's not a BothSides issue. MAGA is a death cult. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/11/u...
