"Gas prices are “temporarily” high, says the president. That’s because Republicans are temporarily in power. Vote." -- @PeteButtigieg

Former top CDC official Demetre Daskalakis says the agency “can’t be trusted because it’s hijacked.” RFK Jr.’s vaccine panel became an “ideology machine,” he wrote, and the scientists still inside are “being held hostage.” When Ebola and hantavirus hit: “Let’s see if they can solve this with a quip on a podcast.” Gift: wapo.st/4BqcoiO #BlueSky #MedSky #LawSky #press #CDC #PublicHealth #Vaccines #RFKJr #ScienceMatters #Ebola

Obama: “Sometimes an election comes along and it just feels a little different. A election where people are so ready for something new, so hungry for something better and so sick and tired of being sick and tired.” 💪 #Election2026 #vote #democracy

Scientists spent decades believing plastic was one of the SAFEST materials around. Now a new study says microplastics can react with water to form chemicals that damage our proteins, lipids, RNA and DNA, and can even cause mutations. Columbia’s Wei Min, one of the authors, says a plastic credit card gains a thousandfold more surface area once it breaks into microplastics, and researchers worry they build up faster than our bodies can handle. His warning is blunt: this will likely trigger chronic inflammation. Plastic lasts a long time, and so might the damage. #BlueSky #MedSky #LawSky #press #health #science #environment #plastic #microplastics #oxidativestress washingtonpost.com/climate-e…

Do you think President Trump should make $2.2 billion in one year? He debuted a jet gifted by Qatar and made over $600 million from a meme coin alone. His ambassador to Greece resigned after being accused of soliciting $100,000 from a donor. A Venezuelan banker’s family, angling for a pardon, offered his former lawyer a $50 million deal. Two top advisers flew abroad to consult for a Russia-aligned government. “That’s not governing, it’s grifting. The corruption needs to stop.” Voters now rank it above inflation and gas prices. wsj.com/politics/elections/m… #BlueSky #MedSky #LawSky #press #Politics #Trump #Midterms #Elections #Corruption #Democrats

Trump’s DOJ is threatening California election officials with CRIMINAL penalties unless they set aside ballots from voters it merely believes are noncitizens, and it gave them 48 hours to do it. When the state balked, DOJ sued. @SenPadilla says “Their attempts to take over our elections will fail.” Threatening the people who count our votes isn’t oversight, it’s intimidation, and we should call it exactly that. latimes.com/california/story… #BlueSky #MedSky #LawSky #press #Elections #VotingRights #Democracy #California #DOJ #Padilla

BREAKING: Donald Trump's lawsuit against the BBC has officially backfired after a federal Judge just ordered Trump to sit for a deposition. The BBC is about to grill Trump. Let's go.

Voters are now more concerned about government corruption than any other issue, including high grocery and gas prices. And every day there is a headline about more corruption in the Trump regime. It’s hard to imagine a worse closing month for Trump and Republicans! cnbc.com/2026/10/23/corrupti…

Zuckerberg wanted to cash out his Meta stock AND keep absolute control. His own board said no. Directors discussed RESIGNING as he pushed for a Musk-style pay plan and threatened to leave California, even telling them he’d list his Palo Alto home days later. He settled for staying eight years. At a $1.7 trillion company, shareholders’ last line of defense was a few directors willing to walk. washingtonpost.com/technolog… #BlueSky #MedSky #LawSky #press #Meta #Zuckerberg #AI #BigTech #CorporateGovernance #Billionaires

Democrats just sued over the federal crackdown on voting, asking a judge to stop moves they say were engineered for VOTER SUPPRESSION. “None of this is lawful,” the suit says, accusing Trump of spreading “lies and misinformation about American elections and voter fraud” as “a pretext to seize control over elections, even as courts overwhelmingly reject that effort.” The Constitution leaves elections to the states. So why is our president so dead set on running it himself? nytimes.com/2026/10/21/us/po… #MedSky #LawSky #press #VotingRights #Democracy #Midterms2026 #ElectionLaw

“If he loses, I’m f---ed,” Musk said in 2024, then joked about his prison sentence. Now he’s bracing for a Democratic Congress after promising $2 TRILLION in DOGE cuts, claiming $215 billion, and being hit with a GAO audit that found the savings consistently overstated. Rep. James Walkinshaw wants him to explain under oath “why you then lied about the savings,” and subpoenas are likely. When Kara Swisher said he knows what’s coming, Musk replied: “Message received.” washingtonpost.com/technolog… #BlueSky #MedSky #LawSky #press #Politics #Congress #Midterms2026 #ElonMusk #DOGE #Accountability

BREAKING NEWS: “Convicted Felon Donald Trump has now been ordered to sit for his sworn videotaped deposition by December 11, 2026, or risk having his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC dismissed.” —Katie Phang

Trump’s ego has no bounds. Trump says he called Google to rename the Atlantic the “Trump Ocean.” 🌊 Google already relabeled the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario on his order, but by Trump’s own telling Pichai said no: “Oceans are different, sir.”

“Everything feels out of whack in America right now.” Trump walked past his own armored car toward an open field until the Secret Service redirected him, snarled at CNN’s Kaitlan Collins “You’re a low-IQ person, you’re a dummy, and you work for CNN,” and keeps gushing at rallies about Sen. Jon Husted’s body. His envoy Steve Witkoff is praising Putin as a “humanitarian” while Russia kills Ukrainian civilians, and Hillary Clinton says Trump “is a willing Putin puppet.” Meanwhile 12 million Americans have lost health coverage, SNAP enrollment is down more than 5 million (nearly half of them children), and the deficit hit about $2 trillion, with the worst cuts delayed until after the midterms. Fox’s Jesse Watters calls the GOP strategy “fear porn.” Even Neil Bush just voted for Democrat James Talarico over Ken Paxton, saying character matters more than party. — Heather Cox Richardson @HC_Richardson Her full report:heathercoxrichardson.substac… #BlueSky #MedSky #LawSky #press #Trump #Putin #Healthcare #SNAP #Midterms2026 #Democracy

👏 👏 👏 JUST IN: A federal judge just BLOCKED Trump’s voter-fraud operation in 9 states. The lawsuit alleges DHS sent armed, often militarized agents to people’s homes to interrogate them about whether they can vote, using databases proven unreliable that could ensnare U.S. citizens. The judge said the public’s “interests in safe elections, free from interference or intimidation, far exceed” the government’s purported interest. The right to vote doesn’t come with an armed escort to your front door. sfchronicle.com/politics/art… #BlueSky #MedSky #LawSky #press #Democracy #VotingRights #Midterms2026 #DHS #Elections #CivilRights

Trump: We were in the midst of negotiating and a lot of stupid people said why aren’t you putting Russian sanctions— Collins: But you said you didn’t give anything for his release Trump: If I didn’t do that, you wouldn’t have him coming back. Collins: So you did give something. Trump: You don’t know anything. You’re fake news CNN. Collins: You’re saying you lifted the sanctions in exchange for his release? Trump: You don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re a low IQ person. You’re a dummy.

BREAKING: Judge Francis Mathew ordered BREAKING: Meta must pay $25 billion after a jury found the company liable for deceiving users about privacy and content moderation policies on Facebook. Judge Francis Mathew’s fine, issued Wednesday, is among the largest verdicts in US history. Jurors found Meta violated New Mexico’s consumer protection laws over 43 million times. Meta has already paid more than $6 billion to settle the Cambridge Analytica fallout, and it turns out that wasn’t the end of the bill. abcnews.com/amp/Technology/w… #BlueSky #MedSky #LawSky #press #Meta #Facebook #CambridgeAnalytica #Privacy #BigTech #Zuckerberg
