We got your back, New York!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026).

You will be shocked, shocked to discover that Russia's Storm-1516 influence operation has MAGA accounts, some of which have now been suspended by X. Others are still active, with a collective 2.7 million followers. See David's thread below. More on Storm-1516 and its role in Russian election interference in the U.S. in 2024: blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-i…
A ce jour, j'ai pu identifier en sources ouvertes 27 comptes d'influenceurs Maga affiliés à Storm-1516 qui ont primo-diffusé du contenu ciblant la France depuis juin 2026, et 1/3 de ces comptes ont été suspendus hier par X. Il ne faut pas perdre de vue que ce que l'on appelle en France "Magasphère" est bien souvent, et de longue date, une "Poutinosphère".

Don Jr in Ohio: "They want to pack the Supreme Court. They want to make Ohio a state."

This is amazing. Legendary actor Bill Murray just WIPED the smile off Trump official Kevin Hassett’s face, who bizarrely grins while discussing America’s struggling economy.
“Tell me your dog died. I want to see what happens to your smile…” Brutal.

Real talk. The only thing they delivered on was cruelty to people not like you. If you're still on board then that's what was in your heart and whatnot. Sad shit.

Among all the close races on my current model, Iowa is the only one that's -not- going towards the Democrats
If the Dems pick up Iowa, we may be in for an absurd night tomorrow

Russia performed a cyber attack shutting down freezers across the EU yesterday.
Today election sites in the US have closures due to “power issues” in blue parts of important swing counties….

I spoke with Haley Stevens yesterday.
Feeling a bit absurd in pointing out the obvious and being far kinder than I should have been, I reminded her that the outcome of this senate race will be viewed in the light of a future Supreme Court vacancy, and I expressed a hope that all of us understand the stakes.
She assured me she's supporting Dr. El-Sayed, sent me a video of a recent speech she gave blasting Mike Rogers and said this: "Still stands. I promise."
She also said she's been sending this video to other folks to make it clear where she stands on this race.
Again: that was yesterday.
I have known Haley Stevens for years. I have counted her as a friend and an ally. We've had many thoughtful conversations about this country, and she has never failed to remind me that her mother is a fan of my writing.
Whatever other political differences we have, she has always made it clear to me she would stand with LGBTQ people. It was a red line she refused to cross.
Instead, she has made the inexplicable decision to endorse a man who views LGBTQ Americans as second-class citizens unworthy of full equality.
I can't help but wonder what her mother must be thinking right now.
I have no idea what has happened to the person I thought I knew, but clearly, she has completely taken leave of her senses in endorsing a Republican who is little more than a Trump sycophant -- less than 24 hours after promising me that she has not wavered from the bigger picture.
I am disgusted with her cynicism and cowardice in this moment. God forgive me for trusting her.
If you're a Michigan voter and as disgusted as I am, get to your polling place and vote for Dr. El-Sayed.

Mr Trump wavering on the edge of a terrible strategic mistake. The MidTerms may deliver a Democratic Congress in January. The US blockade has not collapsed the economy. 20,000 air sorties have not opened the Gulf. Trump now planning a three day renewed air war in November. It will be an escalation disaster.

We are facing a crisis of impunity. That's why we built The Rule of Law Project — to investigate unlawful conduct by federal officials, and work with state and local prosecutors to hold them to account.
Watch former DOJ prosecutor Mark Blumberg and human rights leader Brad Adams launch this critical accountability initiative on MSNOW with Nicolle Wallace.

It's 2026. Your lab throws the biggest Halloween party to celebrate the Death of Mathematics. PIs are wasted in the coffee room, Phds and postdocs dance around a bonfire from obsolete preprints, even Reviewer 2 is having fun
And then the DJ (Fields medal) throws this banger 🎉

Fox: Why are you here this morning?
Trump 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.

PROJECT FORTRESS: The Pentagon is updating its domestic defense strategy to prepare military installations for severe multi-domain warfare scenarios, including widespread power grid outages, disrupted satellite networks, and crippled global supply chains.
Under a new defense initiative dubbed "FORTRESS," nearly 200 major military installations across the continental United States will be required to operate independently for up to 90 days. Documents obtained by Fox News detail plans for portable nuclear reactors, hardened backup power grids, jam-resistant communications, and domestic industrial readiness. @JenGriffinFNC reports on the multi-billion-dollar plan, European civilian preparedness warnings, and expert analysis on vulnerabilities facing civilian rail, port, and power infrastructure supporting defense mobility.
