Explosions in Kyiv as Ukraine’s capital and its energy facilities come under “massive” Russian missile and drone attack, according to Ministry of Energy. Mayor Klitschko reported power and outages. I briefly lost power in city center. As I type this, Ukraine’s air defenses are countering drones…

Christopher Miller @christopherjm.ft.com · 15h

A series of massive Russian air strikes in the past week have disabled nearly 60 per cent of Ukraine’s gas production, raising fears of winter shortages.

"We need billions of cubic meters of gas more during the heating season."

Let me tell you from first hand experience.
It rained here yesterday and today.
It was rough.
It's been months.
There was water everywhere.
It was slippery.

The President of the United States is openly seeking revenge on his political opponents.

First Jim Comey. Now Tish James. Anyone who seeks to hold Donald Trump accountable could be next.

Trump is ripping a page right out of the authoritarian handbook.

Breaking News: Letitia James, New York’s attorney general, is said to have been indicted after President Trump pushed the Justice Department to seek charges against her. James, who is accused of committing mortgage fraud, brought a civil case against Trump in 2022. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Attorney General Letitia James of New York is in front of a microphone. A headline reads: "New York Attorney General Letitia James Indicted After Pressure From Trump."

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

I put banned books in my little Free Library. I have been listening to the Velshi Banned Book Club and making sure these titles are mixed in. It was very enlightening when a woman stopped and didn’t know who Rachel Carson was and had no idea what DDT did. Change the world a book at a time.

Wanna know why Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority"?
He knew he said the quiet fascist takeover part out loud.

Trump is going to have an epic hissy fit tomorrow when he finds out he didn't win the Nobel Peace prize. It should be entertaining.

Trump’s focus on Venezuela is at odds with reality: The vast majority of cocaine is produced and smuggled elsewhere in Latin America, and Venezuela does not supply fentanyl at all.

The majority of the cocaine that is smuggled to the United States moves through the Pacific, not the Caribbean.

Sanho Tree @sanho.bsky.social · 9h

Approximately 8% of US cocaine comes through the eastern Caribbean (and virtually none of it involves fentanyl). Conversely, about 74% of US cocaine comes up the Pacific coast from Ecuador and Colombia. Trump’s objectives in Venezuela aren’t about drugs.

Why Blowing Up Venezuelan Boats Won’t Stop the Flow of Drugs (Gift Article)

President Trump says striking drug traffickers from Venezuela will prevent deadly drugs from reaching the United States. But the major smuggling routes are elsewhere.

Will everyone in this room who is circumcised, please stand up.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 11h

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol
