A stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, whose government cultivated close ties with Donald Trump and his family, has conceded defeat to a student-led opposition movement in a historic parliamentary election.
Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”
There it is. Elon Musk admits it. “That loophole was closed last week.” In a deranged post on X, Musk openly acknowledges that SpaceX recently restricted Ukraine’s ability to use Starlink.
GOP does nothing but gin up culture wars. Meanwhile: — GOP slashed SNAP benefits to 5+ million Americans, forcing them to turn to food banks. — Trump's tariffs and war spurred inflation, making it more expensive to eat at The Cheesecake Factory. Prices are now ~13% higher than when he took office.

The E.P.A. knows how serious the cancer risk is from chemical plants that President Trump gave waivers to. There are thousands of pages of agency documents that detail this risk. We read them.
They are among the biggest sources of cancer-causing pollution: chemical manufacturers, steel-making plants, facilities that sterilize medical devices. In 2024, they were required to take steps to reduce toxic emissions. That all changed when President Trump returned to office and gave them a pass.
What we learned is that former petrochemical lobbyists now inside the EPA are meeting with former clients and then moving to force career staff at the EPA to rollback public health protections. We found the actual documents detailing these moves. Smoking guns. (Redlines striking protections)
During this investigation, we traveled to locations around the United States where President Trump has moved to ease pollution rules, including to Port Neches, Tx. where there is a middle school a few blocks from the chemical plant considered by the EPA the largest cancer threat nationwide.

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...
How Trump Gave the Worst Polluters a Free Pass (Gift Article)
The president temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether.

well, at least none of them will have health insurance, screenings, or hospitals once the cancer really gets growing

wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!

Zelenskyy: The most important thing today is that Starlink and Starshield operations have been restored to the speeds we had before the restrictions.
no matter how sure you are that these guys have broken a whole bunch of laws, you aren't nearly as certain as they are

"We need to invade Greenland because the Greenlanders might let Russians have a stake in Arctic Infrastructure which is why we are letting the Russians have a large stake in Alaskan gas Infrastructure"
Eric Lipton NYT@ericlipton.nytimes.com · 2d agoAnd then the Russian company, presented with the evidence we had gathered, acknowledged in a statement: Yes, we are moving to take a large stake in the Polar LNG project in Alaska. Story was nailed. A bit hard to follow with all the names. But this is confirmation. Had not been previously disclosed.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 19h agoBASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history
