Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities. Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

CONWAY, on Marc Benioff: “.. It saddens me immensely to say that with your recent comments, and failure to understand their impact, I now barely recognize the person I have so long admired.” @politico.com $CRM www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

I'm sorry but if you think talking about black people and rape in such a way is just what kids do, you are a seriously flawed individual. #USDemocracy www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

CHICAGO…. WE’RE BACK 📍 The 2026 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game is returning to the Windy City 🌟

“Conservatives” haha

The stock surge also pushes LVMH’s market cap to €304.89—making it Europe’s second most valuable company by market cap.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin: "We want to sit in a room and have a negotiation. We don't want to negotiate through the press. I don't need to watch Senator Thune on TV in order to find out what he says he's offering. Just get in a room like adults do and we can talk this out."

Powerfully symbolic ice statue spelling Democracy was placed in front of the Capitol in DC.

This reminds me of the civil rights era in Alabama, when federal judge Frank Johnson, in Montgomery, ordered Alabama troopers to protect marchers, after TV footage of police clashes with them. apnews.com/article/chic...

Big news here: the White House has backed down from shutting down I-5 this weekend following our reporting last night.

Sean Duffy: "We are gonna save billions of dollars by getting rid of the fuel economy standards that are set way too high, that no combustion engine can meet, costing each car to the tune of thousands of dollars for the end consumer. We're in the process of getting rid of those rules."

Rep. Nancy Pelosi has had enough of the right wing-lies. As Dems continue to show up to try and make a deal to reopen the government, Pelosi was confronted by a reporter asking about January 6th. Pelosi snapped back telling her to "shut up".

Definitely not America First.

Pritzker: Illinois is not a place you can conquer and our people are not your subjects

The Alphabet unit’s plan to expand internationally comes as it also prepares to offer driverless rides in at least half a dozen additional U.S. cities.

15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more. Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.

JUST IN: In a new statement, the Pentagon Press Association says today marks “a dark day for press freedom” after the Defense Department confiscated nearly all Pentagon reporters’ badges for refusing to sign a policy they say threatens to criminalize national security reporting. When will it stop?

Imagine lying as easily as @RepTimBurchett does. Nobody is paying the millions of people who will be out there. Wanting better for your country isn’t hating it, Tim. Quite the opposite. It’s real patriotism. 🇺🇸 Throwing out the constitution to cling to power is the real hating your country.

NEWS: Russell Westbrook has agreed to sign a minimum deal with the Sacramento Kings, a source confirmed to The Athletic. The 9x All-Star was an unrestricted free agent before the signing, having last played with the Denver Nuggets. Read more: www.nytimes.com/athletic/671...

Finally, some common sense from Oklahoma education. Ryan Walters turned classrooms into culture war battlegrounds. Reversing his Bible mandate isn’t “anti-religion,” it’s accepting the fact that the Bible is not a history book! Schools should teach, not preach.

They won’t know unless you say something.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond. Pay attention and act!

Thune: "If I were a woman I'd be talking to my doctor and not taking advice from RFK"

Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva on Mike Johnson refusing to swear her in: "The excuses depending on the day keep changing ... the timing is the fact that I am the 218th signer to the discharge petition for the Epstein files"

Andrew, we're voting you off the island and back to the suburbs. Our new ad just aired during Survivor.

In a Chicago suburb, ICE GOONS brutally attacked a 15-year-old girl. They forcibly removed her from her car, slammed her to the ground, and then placed their knee on her neck.

Cuz life is hard … but life is hardest … when yer dumb.

I am rooting for team frog 🐸 forever.

WILL CAIN: Since it's President Trump calling up the National Guard, any other governors that decline to do what you did you think would be in violation of the regulatory, statutory authority of President Trump? GREG ABBOTT: They are in violation
