BREAKING: A *separate* federal court in Rhode Island just ordered the Trump admin to pay for SNAP benefits during the shutdown — saying the government "must distribute" aid using emergency funds and that the benefits should be paid as soon as possible.

New York Times editorial board has compiled "a list of 12 markers of democratic erosion." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is what "not the odds, but the stakes" was all about.

During the 2024 campaign, those 12 markers could have been in place and operating to guide news coverage everywhere.

The failure of democracy is complex. Institutions like the NYT Editorial Board covered the election inappropriately in 2024, and are doing something that requires bravery in 2025 because of that failure. bsky.app/profile/jayr...

NEW from me:

Political hostility, high visa fees and (in the case of the UK) stagnant incomes are making the UK and US less attractive destinations for top international talent.

That steep decline in the appeal of moving to the US after 2016 is 👀

Trump Has Forced Out An Alarming Number Of Federal Workers — And Now We Have An Exact Number “The performance of our government across the board is being diminished,” warned Max Stier, CEO of Partnership for Public Service.

Good morning. ☕️

ICYMI: Trump has now forced more than 211,000 people out of their federal jobs. A near-decimation of the federal workforce in nine months.

Biggest losses at Defense Dept and Treasury.

A scene of destruction after Hurricane Melissa, including buildings with roofs torn off and rubble by the sea. A headline reads: "Amid Flattened Homes, Jamaica Starts to Assess Hurricane Melissa’s Damage."

As Jamaica worked on Thursday to assess the damage from Hurricane Melissa, it faced a long and daunting road to recovery, particularly in the western part of the country. That region was hardest hit by the hurricane, among the strongest ever recorded in the Atlantic. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/u...

Vice President JD Vance speaks into microphones. A headline reads: "Trump Officials Warn of Air Travel 'Disaster' in November."

The Trump administration warned there would be an air travel meltdown next month if the government shutdown continued, predicting chaos as controllers miss additional paychecks and the U.S. enters the holiday season. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/u...

Trump is abusing his executive powers to normalize punishing those who have exposed his criminality and corruption in the past. He is weaponizing every agency and power of the government to seek retribution against his critics, his opponents, and anyone who has ever tried to hold him accountable.

He incessantly and publicly agonizes over his "persecution" at the hands of some "deep state" enemy while he abuses his status and the power of the government to unfairly prosecute his critics and political foes.

The party of "personal responsibility" can't seem to take responsibility for anything.

Obstruction of justice is a privilege for Donald Trump. His party has helped him repeatedly escape accountability by subverting the court system, establishing blanket immunities for the president, by dismantling oversight and creating a unitary executive beholden to no one.

No other leader in US history has shamelessly profited off of their presidency to the degree that Trump has—no one has ever been so flagrantly and financially corrupt.
