Gorsuch: So the government’s contention is that it’s illegal to be named Dan Sullivan? Solicitor General: Yes, Justice, if someone already has that name. Alito: And how would the death penalty *not* be an appropriate remedy?
Breaking news: The Justice Department has moved to preemptively block certification of the results of Alaska’s Senate race if Republican incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan loses his tight race against Democrat Mary Peltola next month. wapo.st/47GV3EC

I said the gaslighting under Biden was bad. This is so much worse.
When first reported, 2025’s jobs reports added up to 1.2 million new jobs. After revisions, the economy added just 116,000 — 90% less.

This is how the candidates are listed on Alaska's ballots. It's clearly marked, which one is the GOP candidate and which one is just a guy
NEW: DOJ is suing to prevent Alaska from certifying its election results until the state investigates whether the other "Dan Sullivan" on the ballot created "voter confusion" to the detriment of incumbent GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan. w/ @G_Svirnovskiy politico.com/news/2026/10/23…

Here’s what the Humanitarian of the Year is up to:
More scenes from Kyiv this morning, as Putin continues to lead the west by the nose into endless rounds of fake negitiations, buying time, building up the Russian war machine for the larger war against the rest of Europe.

Just when you thought “asset forfeiture” was as abusive as it could get, the govt’s figured out a way to make it worse. Miami Sheriffs have hired a lawyer on CONTINGENCY to bring forfeiture cases & keep 20-30% of the property he manages to take. @GoldwaterInst says no: goldwaterinstitute.org/flori…

Yes. All the laws Trump cites to take these equity stakes existed before Trump. Yet NO PRESIDENT - incl. Biden & Obama - interpreted them as giving the executive branch the power to own shares in private companies. That's partly bc the old GOP would have FREAKED. No longer.
The Trump presidency is an unprecedented victory for socialism. Not only for what it's doing, but because the Republican party can't object on ideological grounds. Paves that road to socialism, w/o good intentions.

Oh, fuck.
SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios. The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios. Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said. Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior. Read my latest for Axios here: axios.com/2026/10/22/ai-agen…

The stuff I’m seeing today about Lindsey Graham isn’t the first time these accusations have been publicly aired. He’s also dead and can’t defend himself. It’s obviously partisan because the narrative was “this could shape up a Senate race.”

Granted, the accusation of a 17-year old being involved is deeply troubling. I don’t intend to dismiss that.

The backstory of this ad completely invalidates it and makes Vivek Ramaswamy look like a desperate sack of shit. It's like finding out the girl in LBJ's Daisy ad was a communist agent who had just drowned a sackful of kittens.
BOMBSHELL: Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton’s own mother urges voters not to vote for her daughter. “My name is Donna Arthur and I’m Amy Acton’s mother. I worked at Children and Family Service Association, building one of the first two sexual abuse programs in America. I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about her opponent—and it’s not easy for a mother to say this—but Amy has a serious problem. She is a liar. She lies about her past. She says she grew up living in a tent. None of that is true. She’s lied her entire life. My daughter needs help, and she can’t help you if she needs help herself. People can change, but first they have to tell the truth, and my daughter still isn’t doing that. Don’t vote for people who lie. Don’t let her become your governor. If you think she’ll make your life better, you’re fooling yourself. It will only get worse.” That’s one hell of an October surprise.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Donna Arthur lost custody of her children 48 years ago due to poor living conditions and charges against Donna’s husband of child molestation. Dr. Acton has not seen her estranged mother since then suggesting that Donna is unlikely to have reliable insights about Dr. Acton. nationalreview.com/news/amy-acton… vindyarchives.com/news/2019/aug/…
