@CornellWBrooks, former President and CEO of the @NAACP, joined @LincolnSquareHQ for History of the Present with Brian Daitzman, Editor-in-Chief of The Intellectualist, to discuss why voters can be persuaded to support policies that work against their own interests.
RFK Jr. suggests Americans should be eating more liver to save money:"Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver or the cheap cuts." (2026)
Donald Trump calls for an unconstitutional third term: "Maybe we do one more term. Should we? Do one more term! We're entitled to it." @atrupar (2026)

A corrupt Trump administration has maliciously refused the courageous people of Ukraine the tools they need for self-defense.
A Russian drone hit two trains stopped at a station in central Ukraine, killing at least 13 people and injuring 10 others, officials said. apnews.com/article/russia-uk…

GOP Lawmaker on Epstein Files: "I do think that perhaps early on some of those files disappeared. It says something about the … liberal elites. Their sexual mores are very different than that of the average person."

So, Russia is working with the Houthis to target Saudi oil infrastructure and drive up world oil prices to help the Russian economy. And Trump is not helping the Saudis defend while also threatening to escalate his war--which also increases price of oil.
It all helps Russia--funny that.

This is an astoundingly devastating story.
Here is a gift link for the whole story. Absolutely horrific.

Rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front. (2026)

Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia's dismissal has generated widespread anger and frustration at top level of the Army. A common refrain today from active and retired senior Army officers: "This is Bulls**t!" h/t @nancyayoussef nytimes.com/2026/10/29/us/he…

NEW from @nytimes: Trump gave orders that led to Flávio Bolsonaro and his family entering the US on parole status. They will likely get permanent residency later, as his younger brother Eduardo did in July. A White House official arranged a private jet to help them flee Brazil.
Epstein survivor on FBI Director Kash Patel partying: “Why is the FBI director out there partying like a college kid when he should be investigating the vast criminal enterprise?” (2026)

“This spring, the U.S. military faced a similar dilemma in the Middle East. According to a Reuters report that cited Pentagon documents, U.S. forces used Starshield to pilot their drones for strikes against Iran. When SpaceX found out, it raised the price for Starshield service in that region from roughly $5,000 per terminal per month to $25,000. The Pentagon agreed to pay.
In Ukraine, Musk could be attempting a similar upsell.”

NEW: Our reporting found the recent Starlink outage in Ukraine could be part of an elaborate upsell.
When U.S. officials asked Musk's company about it, they were told the problem could be fixed by upgrading to a new contract.

GOP Lawmaker: “Trump has answered many questions from the media about Epstein. He has been very transparent in releasing the documents”. (2026)
