Another banger from the Washpost editorial board:

“The idea that Trump is easily swayed by Putin, let alone manipulated or controlled by him, does not hold water.”

I am once again trying to tell BlueSky that their block function does not work on some browsers. I can see posts by people who block me and whom I block.

BlueSky so far has not even responded to my multiple attempts to communicate this.

Never believe a Republican telling you they're for law & order
George Santos is the 10th GOP Congressman to get a pardon or clemency from President Trump. The other nine were also all convicted of various criminal charges:
Just a reminder the House Republicans are being paid while the Speaker of the House refuses to work. If I had a Republican House member, I'd be working to have them removed for non-performance. Plenty of examples- they stopped performing the basic requirements of the job well before the shutdown

Extraordinary NYT story:

Trump’s DOJ pressured out another US Attorney in WESTERN Virginia for finding that a grand jury probe his bosses demanded was unwarranted.

They wanted a case discrediting the Russia probe — evidence be damned. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

And if you’re GenX or a boomer, get tested to see if your shot from childhood has worn off. My test showed I was still okay for measles but not mumps so I just did the MMR again to cover everything.

Every day at noon, no matter how busy, Johny Merida Aguilar left his construction job and hurried to his 5-year-old son's school to feed him. His son has brain cancer and generally only accepts food from his father.

Merida Aguilar was arrested by ICE in September and faces deportation to Bolivia.
He was caring for his 5-year-old son with brain cancer. Then he was detained by ICE.
A court has temporarily blocked Johny Merida Aguilar's deportation to Bolivia.

had to pause reading this halfway through from biting my lip so hard l got floating white hot auras in my eyes. sometimes I feel like I’ve gone completely insane imagining an era that never existed where these workers were not only real but built everything good about american industry. it existed.
Incredible post from the best writer on Boeing that we've got. The level of willful negligence from executives on something that carries human beings through the sky is astonishing and should be a crime. Sorry I forgot to make a joke. prospect.org/infrastructu...

THESE are the promises I want to hear.
We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

We fired people we had no reason or budgetary need to fire and we actually screwed up and fired the wrong people and then rehired them the next day and all because of Chuck Schumer
BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen?

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

B: But this was a WH decision

No. Absolutely no @warren.senate.gov @edmarkey.bsky.social

I understand the problem, but the solution is not censorship. No.
A new bill that recently passed the Senate will let members of Congress censor information about themselves online.

The result is easy to predict: suppression of the press from reporting about Congress.

Check out this op-ed from FPF's @caitlinvogus.bsky.social:
Cruz-Klobuchar bill would sacrifice speech for a false sense of security
Cruz-Klobuchar bill censors online information too broadly in the name of security, writes senior adviser at Freedom of the Press Foundation.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.
I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
