In today’s edition of stop the damned corruption now! “The unprecedented blitz of self-enrichment by Mr. Trump, his family and his friends since he returned to the White House last year has become so extensive, so profligate and so brazen that he has effectively moved the goal posts of what is considered out of bounds. An act that was deemed an outrage in 2019 is barely noticed in 2026.” nytimes.com/2026/10/04/us/po…

Bird migration is underway! The park’s green spaces provide places for birds to rest and refuel as they make their way south for winter. We’ve documented more than 150 species of birds at the National Mall. Keep an eye out while you’re visiting the Mall. NPS photo

One of the Cornell 7 who claims he "only" participated in the group chat, viewed Jane Doe's naked body without her permission, and snorted ketamine off her naked body without her permission, sued the university to argue that having to write an essay and take a class was too much punishment. Let's be really clear about this. Literally every single person who knew this was happening and didn't immediately call the police AND confront everyone perpetrating this horrific act should be criminally liable. 👉 threads.com/share/_-y35wF2h/

Sick man.
Trump during a rant fantasizes about sending “the gays” to Palestine. “I don’t even want to say what they do to them over there. Let’s send them.”

Great closing message for female voters, Donnie!
Trump defends the men in the Cornell gang rape case, saying he “feels bad” for them and they won't get a “fair shake”

With the Fried Chicken Festival rescheduled, some of these local vendors are no longer able to participate. They were counting on a big weekend, so now is the perfect time to show them some extra love. Please spread the word and let's support these local businesses!

Shocked, I tell ya. 🙄
A CNN investigation revealing Jared Kushner, tasked by Trump to negotiate peace in Gaza, owns a company with a major stake in a firm linked to Israel's military. @katie_polglase reports.

Directing DOJ to slow-walk politically damaging decisions until after people vote would be a major scandal under any normal administration. Here, it’s just Friday.
SCOOP: The WH, led by Susies Wiles, has taken a heavy handed approach in directing AG Todd Blanche to slow walk any abortion matters ahead of the midterms - including in pending mifepristone litigation. Blanche/admin has told pro-life groups to wait until after election

Annie literally wrote the book on WMD warfare - we all need to watch this carefully:
🚨☣️More details on the Oct 1st pneumonic plague outbreak in Siberia, after a lab accident at a BSL-3 lab. "FSB units accompanying ambulances transporting people who had been in contact with [lab tech] Shipilova for medical examination," as per local news. This is significant. FSB is Russia's domestic security / counterintelligence service, tasked w/implementing the national security of Russia." (Its predecessor was the KGB). This suggests quarantine was not voluntary. It also means Russian authorities are treating the lab accident and plague outbreak as a national security issue, involving a lot more than routine public health.
