The president had a MRI but won't say why.

He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.

He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.

He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.

How is any of this ok?

Light rail disruptions persist. Should you still ride a train to Sea-Tac? When being on time really counts, like getting to work or catching a flight at the airport, here's what Sound Transit leaders advise you do.

I’ve never trusted Link Light Rail to get me to the airport. Too many disruptions, including along the ground-level tracks on MLK. Or I need to leave too early for a train. Coming home is less problem, of course, but I’m usually too tired to mess with a 1/4-mile walk, transfer to bus, etc., etc.

Bari’s Bright Ideas (Exclusive.) Bari Weiss this week clocks up four weeks on the job as chief booker (sorry, editor-in-chief) of CBS News. Breaker hears that she has unimpressed staffers with a series of bold ideas in the 9 am call. Last week, following the jewel heist at The Louvre, Weiss suggested they interview author Dan Brown. Staffers questioned what expertise in the matter Brown would provide CBS News viewers? Brown is well known as the bestselling author of the 2003 mystery novel, The Da Vinci Code, about a murder at The Louvre. On Tuesday’s 9 am call, Weiss suggested a story about how people who are scared of climate change aren’t having children. “She is showing her worst self,” one CBS News journalist told Breaker. “People are running to avoid her.” Layoffs, as previously reported by Breaker, are expected to begin on Wednesday morning. But that didn’t stop Weiss from announcing a new hire of sorts on Tuesday. Former Wall Street Journal Deputy Editor…

Turns out the kinds of story ideas your friends and family found so charming at your bespoke blog don't land so well when you're assigning them to real journalists who believe they should be covering real news.

CNN launches new All Access subscription service The new service offers users access to live feeds from CNN's domestic channel and CNN International.

I just don’t see a value-add that’s worth $70 per year.

Behind the Curtain: Trump claims the power to do almost anything A new precedent is being set in real time: The only real limit on Trump appears to be Trump himself.

“Trump, building on 25+ years of ever-expanding presidential power, has set the precedent for once-unthinkable scenarios. This applies not just to him but to all presidents going forward.”

Axios’s “smart brevity” format tends to sane-wash Trump’s behavior. But not in this case. Good summation:

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people:

Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

Word.

I take Atorvastatin, so this really interested me. It merely confirms my fear of generic drugs. There’s really no transparency for quality control, and for all I know they are feeding my sawdust.

An excellent overview of the rise and corruption of crypto: “Crypto has become a machine for transferring control and wealth from the many to the few, a bribery-as-a-service platform for buying and selling influence among authoritarian oligarchs.”

Wait until he hears that Reagan didn't trust the Russians.

At what point when you’re paying troops with your own private money do they not just become mercenaries

Remember, when ICE asks you where you were born, the correct answer is, “Fuckustan. I was born in Fuckustan, bitch.”

The correct answer is, “I was born in Fuckustan. Eat me, bitch.”

Among other places, relevant to WA, OR and CA. Election officials should assess this and provide public guidance accordingly. Last-minute voters should always consider using an official ballot drop box. In WA, they are everywhere.

Justice Department to monitor polling sites in six counties in California and New Jersey | CNN Politics The Justice Department announced today it will monitor polling sites in six counties in California and New Jersey ahead of November 4 elections, as voters prepare to cast their ballots in less than tw...

Knock yourselves out, I say. The elections in this country are fair and accurate. I would be astonished if they actually found more than a handful of illegal votes.

Oops, I said Stephen Colbert. I meant Jimmy Kimmel.

Japanese tourist dies in fall from Pantheon in Rome The 69-year-old man plunged 7 metres from an outer wall after becoming unwell and losing his balance

Two millennia after the fall of the Roman Empire, it’s still killing people. I wonder if the ruins of Washington, DC, one day will be equally dangerous.

This budget year the city of Seattle’s Information Technology Department will spend a boatload of money upgrading its Oracle systems, which are used, among other things, for content management on the city’s website.

What got me thinking about this was the millions of cancellations suffered by Disney and Hulu after the Stephen Colbert suspension.

As long as Larry Ellison billions are being used to ruin the US media landscape and help Trump’s regime in other ways, maybe it’s time for #Seattle and other targeted blue cities to stop spending millions of dollars every year with Oracle, the database company Ellison founded and controls.

Donald J. Trump + @realDonald Trump Just in: Documents show conclusively that Christopher Wray, Deranged Jack Smith, Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, and other crooked lowlifes from the failed Biden Administration, signed off on Operation Arctic Frost. They spied on Senators and Congressmen/women, and even taped their calls. They cheated and rigged the 2020 Presidential Election. These Radical Left Lunatics should be prosecuted for their illegal and highly unethical behavior! 2.73k ReTruths 7.67k Likes 10/24/25, 22:11

Just for the record, in 2020:
- Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey
- Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes
- Garland was an appeals court judge
- Monaco was in private practice in LA

There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise.

He crazy.

When Trump hears what Ronald Reagan said about immigrants he’s going to have DOJ arrest him for mortgage fraud.

Behind the Curtain: The ever-growing AI inequality gap The U.S. government is doing nothing to prepare Americans for the coming shock.

Get ready to be unemployed. This ain’t likely to end well: “President Trump and Congress have no interest in regulating AI. And most politicians aren't eager to scare voters by telling them robots or AI could wipe away their jobs in a few years, even if they think it's true.”

These Seattle area companies are helping pay for Trump's White House ballroom Three companies headquartered in the Seattle area appeared on the White House list of donors to President Donald Trump's ballroom project.

“Amazon, Microsoft and T-Mobile, all headquartered in the Seattle area, have donated to President Donald Trump’s new ballroom at the White House, according to a list of donors.”

I predict a future of many hit-and-run accidents and food in the street.

Kinda like 18th century France.
