Morning. Just a reminder that the ref didn’t even give this as a foul. And then when VAR said possible red card he decided it was only a yellow because McAtee had played the ball wide. About three inches wide by the look of it. Shambles. Again. #nffc

RIP Caryle Murphy, who reported from inside occupied Kuwait in 1990, hiding from Iraqi troops. She would roll a typewritten story into a tube, dress as a jogger, run past an embassy and throw the tube over the wall to get the story out. @amcovarrubias washingtonpost.com/obituarie…

My story: theguardian.com/us-news/2026… Endearingly, there was a group of extremely squirmy middle schoolers who sat in for the first part of the hearing as part of an educational trip. During a break, one of them asked the judge who was winning the case.
We are in a break in a discovery hearing on the BBC case, but Federal magistrate judge Enjoliqué Lett has ordered Donald Trump to sit for a deposition by Dec. 11 -- and for his team to comply with the discovery process in the case -- or they could face sanctions, up to dismissal of the case.

Hand on my heart, my first day at the White House, Trump asked me if I knew what the H stood for. I said no. He said Horatio. I think about that at least once a week. 😭
Why do people say Jesus H Christ. What does it stand for. What is his middle name

How do you burn through 6+ hours in a single hearing, order DOJ attorneys to sign a document at the outset, then end the day by walking back that forceful order you gave earlier in the day? Be Judge Reyes. Here's a rundown from the explosive hearing today: washingtonexaminer.com/news/…

President of Cameroon, the 93-year-old Paul Biya, is expected to visit Cameroon next week! He will have a two-week working trip before returning to Geneva, Switzerland, where he lives.

Some Axel Springer family action here with the Politico-Telegraph crossover ->
New: WH chief of staff Susie Wiles helped set up Katie Zacharia’s appearance on Sean Hannity’s show Thursday night, which turned into a pointed examination of Zacharia’s first press briefing and her legal credentials. w/ @wsteaks @connorstringer politico.com/news/2026/10/16…

I never get tired of reading this passage from John Cooper Clarke's memoir "I Wanna Be Yours” about the time he performed at the Cambridge Folk Festival alongside #Donovan

Democrats keep expanding the battleground. Last week they added six candidates to their Red to Blue program. But are they real targets? Historical analysis suggests that late additions are rarely winnable districts... 2024 - Only one of three late adds, April McClain Delaney in MD-6, won. 2022 - Five of six late adds lost. Like 2022 the only winner was in an open, Democratic-held seat 2020 - Both late additions lost. And of 33 candidates promoted by the Red to Blue program in total, only one was successful 2018 (closest comp) - Of nine candidates added in the final six weeks of campaigning, only Chris Pappas won (NH-1). So the outlook for the six candidates added to the DCCC Red to Blue list last week seems pretty bleak.

New polling kink from @robcrilly @dcexaminer - Angry ex-Trumpers skewing results. But, he writes, the bottom line is this: 'To be clear, no one is saying Republicans are in danger of winning in November.' True dat. And look at this Virginia analysis: Ugh washingtonexaminer.com/news/…
