I went to Alaska and talked to people about the anxiety of living with the growing threat of deadly landslides. Listen to their stories: wbur.org/hereandnow/2026/09/…
Climate change is raising the risk of deadly landslides. Alaskans are living on the edge

in a bizarre two years, it really is surreal to see the president close the midterms holding up printouts to perpetuate a lie about the reflecting pool being vandalized. proof that he is marching to the beat of his own drum.

Love to see @PabloTorre bring up @DropSiteNews reporting on Morning Joe, highlighting the wild detail that two Mike Rogers staffers are registered foreign agents for the state of Israel

Who’s the “reporter” in this clip begging Trump to send National Guard to Chicago, citing her Chicago Police sergeant dad and other CPD officers?

Nancy Pelosi, who is regularly hammered for her perceived insider trading, has made 213 total trades since 2014. Trump exceeded that number in a single day, which just happened to precede his own tariffs announcement. My latest on the mind boggling self-enrichment:

Explosive story many years in the making, now out in Vanity Fair by Matthew Cole (who will be on Breaking Points next week, and publishing soon in @DropSiteNews): Saudi Arabia and the UAE set up multi-billion slush funds for Jared Kushner to use. Iran-Contra 2 here (except with Iran-Contra, at least the US got some hostages released. Not clear what we got out of this one.)

Huge influx of accounts on here that AI-summarize Reddit posts for engagement. Most of them are running dropshipping scams in places like Vietnam and Rwanda. Users on here are stupider than they used to be and spend a lot of time fighting with them as if the stories are real.

Incredible scoop by my @WSJ colleagues: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration. wsj.com/world/ukraine-starli…
Exclusive | Musk Ordered Starlink Slowdown That Blindsided Ukraine

Exclusive | Musk Ordered Starlink Slowdown That Blindsided Ukraine

The SpaceX founder authorized the move and has been discussing Ukraine with Trump, but the president has denied ordering the restrictions.

the more time i spend in chicago the more i feel that it is to the US what vienna is to Europe which is as a place forever tied to the birthplace of modernity in the arts, sometimes if not often to its detriment. neither city can escape 1880-1930
