The First Amendment is a foundational promise to every American: Each of us has the freedom to speak, to report, and to hold those in power accountable without fear of retribution or retaliation.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Damn proud of Minnesota.

NBA star Tyrese Halliburton speaks out

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Federal agents in Minneapolis wrestled Alex Pretti to the ground and secured the handgun he was carrying moments before shooting him multiple times, according to a Washington Post analysis of video footage. Read more: https://wapo.st/4qGOx8M

How do any "negotiations" with #Russia matter, given the history of Russia's word? #Ukraine could make as solid of a deal as there ever could be, and Russia will find some excuse to invalidate it. "They elected a new President, so the former deal is invalid." -- Putin, 2027

When does Palantir change its name to Cyberdyne?

In high school, I didn't realize we could actually use difference of two squares to help us with mental math. Here's how we can apply this.

This government needs to discuss Cuba policy urgently because it could blow up very badly for everybody if Trump and Rubio successfully choke off all the Venezuelan oil. Rubio could be the dog that finally caught the car -- and he has no plan for what to do the day after. 1/

This is what I was thinking. Physics says the car will keep moving!

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time? Really American FB

None of this excuses Trump, but: 1) There is an OLC opinion that authorizes this, which future AG then OLC head Bill Barr signed in 1989 to authorize the very similar Panama invasion. 2) There is an indictment. It was unsealed under Barr in 2020. 3) Indictment is real. Former top aide pled in June

😐 Residents of Valdai, where Putin's residence is located, did not notice the flight of dozens of UAVs, nor warnings of an attack, and did not hear explosions - Russian opposition media. Journalists spoke with locals and concluded that the information about a "mass attack" is not confirmed.

They're going to be gold-plated battleships, aren't they?

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

The atomic ensemble time scale at the NIST Boulder campus has failed.

47. As Amory Lovins has said for years, no one wants a lump of coal, or a barrel of oil. All we want is a hot shower and a cold beer. And if we can get that heat and light and chilling without paying for (or burning) fuel, we're all happier... with one notable exception.

If your kid believes in Santa, let them believe in Santa. Mathematicians still believe in imaginary numbers.

Offering so-called ‘Article 5–style security assurances’ is a trapp convincing Ukraine to give up Donbas. When Russia resumes war, Trump will blame Ukraine for ‘not needing to attack Russia’. I. Ponomarenko

🇺🇸 A U.S. grand jury has indicted Russian GRU hackers for cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, including a Missouri airport, water systems in Texas, Pennsylvania, and Indiana, and a meat plant in California. One attack spilled 757 tons of water; another ruined 900 kg of meat.

‼️🇺🇸 Russian GRU hackers attacked critical US infrastructure, a grand jury indictment in California has been released. They carried out attacks on an airport in Missouri, water systems in Texas, Pennsylvania and Indiana, a meatpacking plant in California, and an oil and gas company in Colorado.

Exactly this. I graduated in 1982 & remember reading 2-3 books or plays per year. (One was always a Shakespeare play.) I’d rather students read fewer books with in-depth analysis than skimming thru multiple books just to have a certain number checked off a list.

BREAKING: The Indiana Senate just REJECTED the gerrymandered congressional map that Trump and his allies pressured Republicans to support. The GOP-controlled chamber voted down the map, 31-19.

Quite a good set of questions.

☢️🇺🇦 Today marks another anniversary of the Budapest Memorandum. Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for assurances of support in the event of aggression… History has shown that without effective guarantees, international law often fails to work in practice.

Russia is pure evil. Georgia, Ukraine, always destroying places and people. Europe needs to take the money instead of obsessing about it. Take it out of Trumps hands

This is, of course, a fascinating thread from Kate asking why Google is effectively cannibalizing its own market for both digital ads on third party properties and search ads, by effectively taking away the incentive to click through to third party sites. I have a theory as to why they're doing it.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

New from 404 Media: someone managed to get into a Microsoft Teams call with phone hackers Cellebrite, who then detailed some of the company's hacking capabilities against Google Pixel phones. Also its capabilities against GrapheneOS, security-focused devices www.404media.co/someone-snuc...

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.   During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

It was DNS

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country. Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community. THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

What do I know and I'm not saying it's a magic bullet or anything like that but it sure seems to me that Dems should run hard on the Argentina bailout. Not anywhere near the worst thing Trump has done, but i suspect it's unusually clarifying.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...
