Your @journalsentinel boys, literally the last writers out of The Trop pressbox at 3:37 am. When will we be back in a pressbox? Who knows. Maybe we’ll have caught up on our sleep by then.

Trump once again putting more social media muscle into the D.C. golf course than most other public policy issues. He says "we will hold the judge, Ana C. Reyes, responsible for anyone who is hurt, or killed" on the unrenovated course. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT…

Looks like @ASGWoodward will be back in court Friday or Monday as Judge Reyes demands to know who is correct: Trump saying there's a definitive plan to close East Potomac golf course on Nov. 15, or DOJ, which has said there is no such plan.

Before publishing a tough book about Trump, Bob Woodward called Bezos to warn him. “Don’t worry, I have your back, Bob,” Bezos said. “I’ll always have your back.” Always turned out not to be as long as it used to be. Takeaways from Woodward's new memoir. nytimes.com/2026/10/26/us/po…

Having failed to convict him yet, Trump prosecutors file criminal charges against Comey for the third time in 13 months, this time for a 10-year-old alleged leak that was already investigated without leading to prosecution. @DevlinBarrett nytimes.com/2026/10/26/us/po…

The court denied the Trump admin's request for lack of jurisdiction, as the district court hasn't weighed in yet. (Hearing there is tomorrow.) But 2 of the 3 judges - and particularly Judge Bennett, a Trump appointee - made clear they would've rejected the case on the merits too
