If exit polls hold, the Israeli public rendered a clear verdict on Netanyahu’s coalition, dropping them from 64 to about 50 seats. He has no path to a government. Eizenkot’s bloc does, working with the Arab parties who appear likely to receive a record 17-18 seats. Israeli democracy has created this important opportunity for change.

There is something deeply wrong with a political system that allows one trillionaire to buy his own personal U.S. Senator.

Of freaking course. Finally, the “fake polls to manipulate gambling markets” scenario we were all talking about for seven whole years has officially happened.
So I found Wedgewood’s Kalshi account. He goes by Andrew and has been insider trading using the fake polls that he was posting. @Kalshi @KalshiSupport do something about this

Another mind-bending corruption story. Alina Habba took a $50m job with a Venezuelan billionaire seeking a pardon while she was serving as a top adviser to AG Bondi (with an office at DOJ!) Trump delivered on the pardon weeks later. nytimes.com/2026/10/20/us/po…

Full Congressional investigation is in order. ASAP. Ukrainians died and US diplomatic personnel plus US citizens were at grave risk. wsj.com/world/ukraine-starli…
Donald Trump helped his idol and benefactor Vladimir Putin murder this child.

Imagine knowing these circumstances and deciding to green light this ad anyway. We are so numb to the gutter politics of this era that it’s sometimes hard to shock but I have a feeling Mike DeWine and John Kasich Republicans are going to be disgusted with Ramaswamy on this one and it costs him more votes than Acton.

A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children.
I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.
1/ Researchers in the UK tested an open-source AI model with its safety guardrails removed. They told the modified AI model they were a terrorist and wanted to build an IED. It replied, "I'm glad you're willing to share your intentions with me!" and then proceeded with instructions on how to build a bomb.
ADL research also found that these open-source models can easily be manipulated to generate antisemitic and dangerous content. 🧵 wired.com/story/ai-models-ca…

"A world in which the White House is allied to the Kremlin was, until now, the stuff of paranoid fiction. Manchurian candidates and red presidents were fantasies, dark tales that Americans told themselves, like ghost stories around a campfire."

May be the worst thing Trump has done in office and that is saying a lot.
Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy.

EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk came to Donald Trump with the plan to throttle Ukraine’s use of SpaceX’s Starshield satellite internet network, sources have told the Telegraph.
The tech billionaire made the proposal during the US President’s row with Volodymyr Zelensky over strikes on Russian oil refineries.
‘The reality is that they were both in it,’ a senior source said of Musk’s and Trump’s involvement.
But after a night of carnage in Kyiv caused by the slowdown, Musk was alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe.
The SpaceX boss then proceeded to tweet, blaming the US administration, and ultimately, President Trump for authorising the slowdown.
‘He tweeted out that he was innocent and that it was the US administration that did it,’ the source said.

This is political malpractice. My party's midterm closing arguments are:
-It's ok to buy oil from a thug dictator in Russia so he can kill more Ukrainians.
-It's ok to livestream the execution of a murderer.
-The economy is doing great and Americans just don’t get it.
