Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: As a military officer, I was repeatedly trained on the law concerning illegal orders. Now, veterans citing this law have been targeted by the president with threats of prosecution and death - because they oppose him politically. If the government acts against them, it will further display President Trump's thirst for the one thing our Republic cannot abide: tyranny.

Average electricity cost increase since Jan:

Missouri ⬆️ 37%
Iowa ⬆️ 30%
North Dakota ⬆️ 30%
Oklahoma ⬆️ 30%
New Jersey ⬆️ 27%
Nebraska ⬆️ 25%
Montana ⬆️ 25%

NATIONWIDE ⬆️ 11%

Instead of working to lower costs, Trump is boosting power-hungry AI data centers.

NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.

Great urgency in reviewing Epstein files. Then silence for three months. Then the July 6 “nothing to see here” memo.

Wonder what they found that led to panicked silence then attempted cover up?

The docs also reveal the number of hours the FBI devoted to the project, which required some agents to work nights and weekends. The FBI paid personnel $851,344 in overtime for working on the Epstein files between March 17 and March 22.

Bloomberg has obtained the transcript of a call between Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and a senior aide to Vladimir Putin — in which Witkoff advised the aide — a Russian aide — on how Putin should go about pitching Trump on a pro-Russian peace plan aimed at bringing an end to the Ukraine war.
Witkoff Discusses Ukraine Plans With Key Putin Aide: Transcript
The following is a transcript of an Oct. 14 phone call lasting just over 5 minutes between Steve Witkoff, Donald Trump’s special envoy for peace missions, and Yuri Ushakov, Vladimir Putin’s most senio...

Steve Witkoff is such a Russian patsy. Just absolutely embarrassing.
www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Steve Witkoff: I would make the call and just reiterate that you congratulate the president on this achievement, that you supported it, you supported it, that you respect that he is a man of peace and you’re just, you’re really glad to have seen it happen. So I would say that. I think from that it’s going to be a really good call. Because — let me tell you what I told the President. I told the president that you - that the Russian Federation has always wanted a peace deal. That’s my belief. I told the president I believe that. And I believe the question is — the issue is is that we have two nations that are having a hard time coming to a compromise and when we do, we’re going to have a peace deal. I’m even thinking that maybe we set out like a 20-point peace proposal, just like we did in Gaza. We put a 20-point Trump plan together that was 20 points for peace and I’m thinking maybe we do the same thing with you. My point is this... Yuri Ushakov: Ok, ok my friend. I think that very point our leaders could discuss. Hey Steve, I agree with you that he will congratulate, he will say that Mr. Trump is a real peace man and so and so. That he will say. SW: But here’s what I think would be amazing. SW: Yeah because listen to what I’m saying. I just want you to say, maybe just to say this to President Putin, because you know I have the deepest respect for President Putin. YU: Yes, Yes. SW: Maybe he says to President Trump: you know, Steve and Yuri discussed a very similar 20-point plan to peace and that could be something that we think might move the needle a little bit, we’re open to those sorts of things — to explore what it’s going to take to get a peace deal done. Now, me to you, I know what it’s going to take to get a peace deal done: Donetsk and maybe a land swap somewhere. But I’m saying instead of talking like that, let’s talk more hopefully because I think we’re going to get to a deal here. And I think Yuri, the president will give me a lot of space and discretion to get to the deal. YU: I see...

Imagine if a neighboring state attacked your state & demanded a peace agreement giving them 20% of your land.

Then if that state targeted civilians, killing 1000s, and kidnapped >19K kids & adopted them out, would you be willing to accept a peace agreement, forget about all of that and move on?

Actual request: “can you get your cool boss Putin to call trump and praise me?”

Pathetic

Do you think that it will be useful if our bosses will talk on the phone? SW: Yes, I do. YU: You do. And when you think it could be possible?

The FDA has suddenly dropped a proposed rule to require asbestos testing in cosmetics.

The rule would've set up testing to identify cancer-causing asbestos in talc-containing products.
