Zero reason to write this unclassified memo except to then leak it. Sure seems like a pretext for whatever the next phase of US military action will be.
🚨Scoop: U.S. intelligence finds Iran has "substantially increased" its efforts to target American diplomats & officials in the Middle East and beyond, with lethal plots reaching "advanced stages," per memo to Secretary of State Rubio. My story on @axios axios.com/2026/10/24/iran-wa…

JD Vance likes to accuse innocent men of pedophilia. JD Vance works for a man who rapes kids. Some journalist should ask JD what he thinks the punishment should be for men who put their dicks in children. Ask him while Trump's in the room.

You’d think the party that refused to release the Epstein files wouldn’t side with the abusers but you’d be wrong.
BOMBSHELL: Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton’s own mother urges voters not to vote for her daughter. “My name is Donna Arthur and I’m Amy Acton’s mother. I worked at Children and Family Service Association, building one of the first two sexual abuse programs in America. I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about her opponent—and it’s not easy for a mother to say this—but Amy has a serious problem. She is a liar. She lies about her past. She says she grew up living in a tent. None of that is true. She’s lied her entire life. My daughter needs help, and she can’t help you if she needs help herself. People can change, but first they have to tell the truth, and my daughter still isn’t doing that. Don’t vote for people who lie. Don’t let her become your governor. If you think she’ll make your life better, you’re fooling yourself. It will only get worse.” That’s one hell of an October surprise.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Acton's mother lost custody of her children after years of documented issues, including time spent living in a tent and a spouse who sexually abused her daughter Amy (Acton). Amy Acton's brother has also confirmed this story. x.com/amyactonoh/sta… wkbn.com/news/local-new… time.com/collections/co… vindyarchives.com/news/2019/aug/… 614now.com/2020/culture/c… actonforgovernor.com/meet-amy/

John Kennedy is a literal Rhodes Scholar who then ran for office as a Republican & now talks like a man named Earl who steals chickens.
I’m sure Jesus loves Jack Smith, but everyone else who cares about the rule of law thinks he’s an idiot. He’s a political operative masquerading as a prosecutor.

“Follow me here on X and on LinkedIn. I intend to share more of the evidence and the story behind what happened.” That was Simon Andriesz’s last post: xitter.cf/SAndriesz/status/20863… He was the British banker who dug Lutnick’s Epstein ties out of the files — 2018 emails on Adfin — and took them to the FBI and House Oversight. He said the retaliation had already wrecked his life, and that he was about to publish more. Then he was dead at 57. They called it suicide. I don’t buy it.
I am the British whistleblower who reported evidence concerning Howard Lutnick, his links to Jeffrey Epstein, and Cantor Fitzgerald and BGC to the FBI in 2020–21. Listen to the BBC File on 4 documentary about my whistleblower story: bbc.com/audio/play/m002yx47 BBC News: bbc.com/news/articles/c9q28d… I later shared evidence with the House Oversight Committee, which subsequently questioned Lutnick behind closed doors. My disclosures also contributed to regulatory action in the US and UK, including a £96m HMRC tax assessment relating to BGC’s partnership scheme. I believe the true tax exposure is substantially higher. I also reported to the FBI and financial regulators matters involving Cantor Fitzgerald’s Relief Fund and BGC/Cantor’s annual 9/11 Charity Day. The personal consequences of whistleblowing, and the retaliation I say followed, have been devastating for my family and me. Mother Jones previously reported that documents I uncovered revealed a years-long business tie between Howard Lutnick, Cantor Fitzgerald and Jeffrey Epstein through AdFin, including a 2018 exchange in which Lutnick and Epstein discussed the company directly: motherjones.com/politics/202… motherjones.com/politics/202… Follow me here on X and on LinkedIn. I intend to share more of the evidence and the story behind what happened.

Trump in 2016: We shouldn't have state dinners at all. We should be eating a hamburger on a conference table, and we should make better deals with China and forget the state dinners. The state dinners cost a fortune.

Ossoff: It's tragic that here in Georgia in the year 2026, in some ways, one of the central questions of the U.S. Senate race is whether white nationalism belongs in the United States Senate. We're so much better than this.

Psaki: Why did you invoke Natalie Harp? Ossoff: We’re in wartime. The commander in chief has mired us in this geopolitical disaster. People have lost their lives. Our naval logistics are frayed. The global energy system is in crisis. And he retreats into this bubble of West Wing aides who are his security blanket to make him feel good about himself, to reassure him that he’s doing a great job, to help him while he designs his new ballroom. And he adorns the Oval Office in gold and picks the interior decorations on this new luxury flying palace he received from a foreign prince. When every single minute of every single day, what the president of the United States should be doing is bearing his most solemn burden of care for the sailors and Marines and aviators and all service members deployed on his orders on the basis of his lies to this disaster in the Middle East

Imagine being a cop and hearing a convicted felon in the Epstein files tell you that America has gotten too soft on crime. And then clapping for $4 a gallon gasoline; bc the guy who had cops beaten for a lie also lied about no new wars.
Trump: For you to pay a tiny little bit more for gasoline, $4, it's okay, I'll never apologize

He’s not a ‘counterterrorism expert’ - he’s with the Center for Security Policy, which is a far-right group of cranks, once designated a hate group by the SPLC, and which even accused Huma Abedin of being a Muslim Brotherhood spy and got condemned by John McCain and Marco Rubio. Since we’re talking about El-Sayed’s dad, is it true Senator Cruz that your dad helped kill JFK? That’s what Donald Trump once suggested, right? Is he correct?
A counterterrorism expert testified today that Abdul El-Sayed’s candidacy for Senate concerns him. He cited El-Sayed’s ties to Emgage, its close ties to CAIR, and his father-in-law’s leadership roles in Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations. Then he confirmed the Muslim Brotherhood partners with the Democratic Socialists of America. Michigan voters deserve answers about who is behind Abdul El-Sayed.

Attorneys are officers of the court. They are bound by explicit ethics. You can buy one who will for money violate those rules and human decency. Jeannine Pirro is one of the latter. She had "absolute evidence that Hearn violently ripped the pool lining". She lied.She should be disbarred and sued for slander and malicious prosecution. Pirro is the worst of the worst in the legal profession. Trump's DOJ is disgusting and shameless. @JudgeJeanine @realDonaldTrump threads.com/share/_2JQCeiq1/ – at Edgewood, KY
