This is HUGE. The Yogurt Shop Murders, which inspired an HBO documentary that premiered a few weeks ago, have finally been solved with DNA evidence. t.co/J2yjF3EQbQ

Ted Cruz asks for bipartisan agreement on the Senate floor today. He says they must come together to stop murders. To stop rape. I agree. We should stop those things. Then he says we must “stop attacking pedophiles”. No one corrected him. His team called it a “blunder”. Release the files.

The Kremlin is planning large-scale gasoline imports as Ukraine’s bombing campaign leads to unprecedented fuel shortages across Russia

Bomb the tankers

As of September 28, 38% of Russia's primary oil refining capacity - equivalent to 338,000 tons per day - was out of operation. Drone attacks that have struck more than two dozen major oil refineries in Russia since early August have driven the Russian fuel market into an unprecedented crisis.

Stephen Miller: "They say they are trying to kill the fascists & stop the fascists. It's deliberate. President Trump is saying that we as a nation are not going to tolerate it anymore & the joint terrorism task force at the FBI is going to find these terrorists & we're going to put them behind bars"

I love you, Bluesky.

Hello All, Just released this piece on what might be happening in White House perceptions and intelligence about Russia and Ukraine. I've been talking to people who know more than I, and one senior Republican said “He (Trump) is like a spurned lover at the moment.” open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Trump claim: DC is more dangerous than Afghanistan. Reality: Afghanistan is one of the most heavily mined countries in the world. Every step could be your last. A lot of people are missing legs. And if you do get stuck in a minefield, it doesn't take long for a bunch of machine guns to show up.

Read this carefully and listen to his words. Trump is openly talking about civil war in America. He told the military they will be used against Americans. He’s not being subtle about it.

Play fascist Russian oil refinery bingo with this handy chart from @KHoholenko on X! Yaroslavl refinery on top left. Includes dates of previous attacks on facilities.

@newsfromgoogle.bsky.social you’re skanky. #DuckDuckGo is what I use now.

I'm shocked no one posted this yet, so...

this guy has no idea what the american military is (the most sophisticated logistics operation ever assembled in human history)

This is a rapist telling the military that rape of military women is now permitted, as a policy

"Some of you may starve, but that's a risk I'm willing to take."

"you kill people and break things for a living." I believe those are self-driving car "engineers."

i actually cannot conceptualize how crazy shit is about to get

And the crowd goes MILD for Pete Hegseth. 🦗🦗🦗😬

I think this part is crucial because it's just flatly true that Weiss is not a journalist. She's an opinion writer, and not a particularly good one. Viewers are going to notice the shift because she's not subtle about it.

JFC... he won’t accept—apparently *can’t* accept—that it’s 2025, not 1995. Democratic leaders are making the rest of us feel crazy by denying everything we’ve learned about America and the Republican Party in the last decade. Trump killed 400,000+ people during the pandemic and MAGAs *didn’t care*.

This is what CBS staffers have told me about the possibility of Bari Weiss taking over the newsroom: One, she's not a journalist, as far as we're concerned. And two, the idea that she's going to carry some sort of editorial stick for us is hard to swallow.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I have never seen such a blistering rebuke of a President by a federal judge. He is telling us clearly to stand up for our liberty against a dictator. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

So Trump is defunding the police.

real “can we have class outside” vibe rn

If you live in these states, your ACA premiums are about to jump: SD - Up 235%
LA - Up 150%
WV - Up 387%
WY - Up 382%
TN - Up 320%
MS - Up 314%
AK - Up 346% Republicans are fighting to make sure this happens to their own constituents.

Do think the single most likely do or die flashpoint for this administration is gonna be the seating of the 120th Congress

Donald Trump has officially shut down the government after refusing to negotiate with Democrats on health care for millions of Americans.

Even with their recent hiring spree, these numbers are wildly high. No idea where she's getting that 50k members of the military or who that's purporting to count. 150k officers would be in about the right ballpark for *all* of federal law enforcement, but only about half those are under DHS.

As for how many members of the military are currently deployed in some form or another supporting DHS, we have no way to know because they're transparent about nothing. Reporters have tried to piece it together. @nickturse.bsky.social breaks it down here, from July:

I'm actually kind of surprised that the SecDef hasn't determined that the Army Service Ribbon is "too gay".

three generals/admirals?? talking to the Intercept??? bsky.app/profile/tank...

We must pay billions to farmers Because we cut off their customers with tariffs And pay billions to Argentina Whose farmers are selling to the customers we forfeited Because that is America First

The US government shut down much of its operations on October 1 as deep partisan divisions prevented Congress and the White House from reaching a funding deal, setting off what could be a standoff that could lead to the loss of thousands of federal jobs reut.rs/4nvyxF9

“Hi Donald.” New post from Jimmy Kimmel where he’s joined by Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert.

House Republicans didn’t even show up for work today, and they’re going to blame Democrats for shutting down the government? Please.

How many felonies do we need on video for one of these violent criminals to be arrested? What’s it gonna take to get some gd law enforcement around here?

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

I'm a retired Fed, maybe I lose my small pension if the govt shuts down. I'm FINE with that if DHS shuts down. No funds for fascism. No dollars for dictatorship. What I want is for the whole country to shut down until these criminal fascists are shoved right the hell out of DC. National strike.

We got bail Trump’s ass out from another one of his epic failures just like the time his father had to run down and buy $3 million in chips at his failing Atlantic City casino to keep it from defaulting? bsky.app/profile/atru...

The GOP SHUTDOWN of the federal government will: 🚨Skyrocket costs 🚨Screw up essential services 🚨Abandon disaster victims 🚨Make everyday life even WORSE for Americans This is America after nine months of Donald Trump.

Pfizer "secured a three-year grace period from President Donald Trump’s promised tariffs on pharmaceuticals" and in return will "sell some drugs at a 50% average discount on a direct-to-consumer website called TrumpRx" looks like state capitalism to me www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Donald Trump basically announces that he is declaring war on anyone he deems a Democrat... and one of the leading Democratic Senators, @blumenthal.senate.gov thinks now is the best time for a bipartisan censorship bill that will let MAGA define what content is allowed on the internet. WTF?

Giant banner on the HUD homepage blames the “radical left” for the impending government shut down. The Republicans have the majority. This isn’t the fault of the left. It’s also deeply concerning that this language is appearing on ANY official government websites.
