Ok this is unfair to Bluesky.

Bluesky is firmly middle-aged social media. Facebook is geriatric.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility.

Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying.

All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

Look at this.

White House has said that the US to take 10% stake in Trilogy Metals, $TMQ.

It is up 215% in after hours.

Did someone know? Looks like it.

There was an unusual $TMQ call today, expiring next week. Usually, it gets no options volume.

It was placed JUST BEFORE close.

Unusual.

Borrowers head back to riskier mortgages, looking for any potential savings

Mortgage demand weakened again but for those in the market, adjustable-rate loans are getting more popular, as they offer lower interest rates.

I hope @cnn.com and the other so called main stream media keep the same energy of interviewing people impacted by the Trump cuts who were specifically targeted because they are poor, minorities, etc. keep that energy when healthcare quadruples.

Soybean Farmer: So now I've got a tariff war that's killing my market. I don't have any money from grain we're sending to other countries for USAID. I mean, I've got a compound problem. I don't know how you plan for next year because we don't know where we're at.

Elections have consequences. It may seem callous , but you are who you vote for. While Trump builds his guilded oval office, he’s cut aid to schools , poverty prevention programs , and numerous other vital services that help people. But hey at least his buddies got richer.
