25th Amendment this entire Republican Party!! Their malfeasance and willful maliciousness inflicted on America is unacceptable. This party needs to be completely dismantled and removed from political power.
They put this man as THEIR Republican candidate despite Jan 6 and ALL.

Hear us out: The richest person in the world should not be allowed to dump hundreds of millions to affect the midterm elections.
This is not a radical idea. We need campaign finance reform. wired.com/story/elon-musk-is…

Interceptor drones aren’t working properly because Starlink isn’t.

⚡️BREAKING: Zelensky says vital US arms deliveries to Ukraine are being delayed
The Pentagon is postponing deliveries of weapons Ukraine needs, despite political agreements already reached.
The Ukrainian president also noted that Starlink restrictions remain in place on the front lines.
This is causing problems with military logistics and the use of drones.
In addition, Russian attacks overnight on October 19 damaged 28 substations and other critical Ukrainian energy facilities.
Zelensky said these issues would be discussed again with international partners.
According to The Kyiv Independent, the US is withholding Patriot missiles from Ukraine even though they have already been paid for by Ukraine’s allies.
“Contracts for Patriot missiles are on Hegseth’s desk. He isn’t signing them.” This could be an element of pressure on Kyiv.
Trump suspected of helping Russia
Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy, who previously defended Donald Trump against allegations of ties to the Kremlin, has called on Congress to investigate the president’s actions that may have benefited Moscow.
In an article for National Review, he pointed to the easing of sanctions against Russia, economic concessions and restrictions on the Starshield satellite system used by Ukrainian forces.
In his view, the loss of connectivity could have left Ukrainian troops defenseless against a Russian attack launched at a moment favorable to Moscow.
McCarthy believes the circumstances surrounding the incident raise serious suspicions.
Even if the cause was a technical malfunction, it is necessary to establish exactly what happened, as the outcome has implications for the security of the United States and its allies.
The author also recalled that Trump has repeatedly expressed admiration for Putin and blamed Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Trump’s approval rating has fallen to 33% — the lowest of his presidency, The Washington Post reports.
The results were published ahead of the US congressional midterm elections scheduled for November 3.

💔 RIP baby Angelina and every unnamed innocent Ukrainian murdered by Russia today.
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.

In a classified briefing, a DoD official revealed to Senators how much Iranian attacks on U.S. bases have cost us.
Now, I'm calling for the DoD to make that number public.
Americans deserve to know how much of their money is being burned on Trump's war with Iran.

Strong bipartisan, well-attended, bicameral call this morning with President @ZelenskyyUa expressing our support for Ukraine against Russia’s crimes and savagery, and dismay that Trump has taken the side of the evildoer. (Again.)

Elon Musk and Donald Trump did this as much as Putin.
They are all psychopaths and murderers.
Elon owes SpaceX to Putin. Trump has been a Russian puppet for more than 40 years. They are utterly compromised. They should all be captured, put on trial, and punished together.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) & Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) have alarming readout of their conversation with Vlodymyr Zelenskyy:
“Pres. Zelenskyy confirmed that critical Starlink services remain degraded, including on systems traveling at speeds above 100 miles per hour, impeding Ukraine’s ability to intercept Russian drones. He also reported disruptions to U.S. intelligence sharing concerning early warning of Russian ballistic missile launches. As a result of these disruptions, civilians – children – are dying"

The U.S. has reportedly just again cut Ukraine's Starshield from Ukraine’s frontline troops and city defenses.
Zelensky - "Unfortunately, we are recording instances where equipment is failing on various sections of the front line at speeds ranging from 130 to 161 kilometers per hour.
This is making logistics at the front more difficult and limiting the use of various types of drones, especially reconnaissance and strike drones, and interceptors designed to counter Shahed drones equipped with jet engines."

🚨 What we're tracking today:
1. Moscow-tied communist groups catalyzed France's protests.
2. Russian satellite moves away from target, for now.
3. Romania: drones it downed were likely Russian.
4. Midterm risks remain ELEVATED.

The Trump administration is reportedly planning to start fining Americans that default on their student loans.
The administration is considering hiring private debt collectors to enforce these penalties.

Considering the Muslim Brotherhood has never enslaved humans in the US,
I think it’s fair to ask all candidates if they disavow the Confederacy.
Now that @AbdulElSayed has been asked to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood because of his mother’s alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood before he was born, will we be asking Donald Trump to disavow the Ku Klux Klan because of his father’s alleged ties to the KKK in the 1920s?

Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA): “The Trump Admin was clearly lying about the reasons for their mass felling of trees in East Potomac. They were lying to conceal from the American people that, at a time when our country is at war & everyone is worried about the economy & high prices, the President simply doesn’t care"

During my time at the National Security Council, my colleagues and I worked to persuade European allies to reject Huawei’s 5G technology. The concern was not simply that Huawei was a Chinese company, or that we distrusted Beijing. It was that telecommunications infrastructure is foundational to modern society and national defense. Whoever controls critical components of that infrastructure may possess capabilities that extend far beyond the product being sold.
A compromised telecommunications network can expose sensitive information, facilitate surveillance, disrupt communications, or create opportunities to manipulate systems. Remote access, software updates, and privileged administrative controls can become vulnerabilities if a supplier—or the government capable of compelling that supplier—chooses to exploit them.
