USSS rocking the BNVD-FUSED.
Those things are nuts. Binoculars, night vision, and a full color heads up display in one. They also have a rapid target acquisition feature that transmits weapon sight to the goggles, allowing shooting around cover without exposing a head.

If this reads like one of those Nigerian prince scam emails, it’s because it’s exactly like one of those Nigerian prince scam emails
Trump: "I am pleased to announce that my Administration will, immediately, begin sending 'Checks' of nearly $100 to over 20 MILLION wonderful Seniors to help pay for their Medicare Part B premiums, which we have already reduced by significant amounts. This money will come from the Medicare Improvement Fund, a pointless 'Slush Fund' that has only been used by Dumocrats in Congress to pay for the Waste, Fraud, and Abuse for their Special Interest friends, and drive up Healthcare costs. We are finally using this Fund, along with my Most Favored Nations Deals, to substantially LOWER costs for our Seniors. I pledged to protect and preserve Medicare and Social Security, which were on the verge of RUIN by Joe Biden, who foolishly and maliciously let tens of millions of Illegal Aliens into our Country, and we are doing just that for America’s Seniors. This is separate from the equally substantial Refund 'Checks' we are sending to One Million Americans who were overcharged for their Unaffordable Care Act plans by Joe Biden.
Because I delivered on this very important issue for the American People, they can also rest assured the highly popular $5,000 Trump Dividend will be distributed to every U.S. Citizen if, and when, the Republicans win the Midterm Elections! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

The top super PAC for Senate Republicans is canceling all the remaining ads it had booked in North Carolina as of Friday — shifting away tens of millions of dollars in a move that signals that Republicans no longer see a path to winning the state this fall. nytimes.com/2026/10/02/us/mi…

Directing DOJ to slow-walk politically damaging decisions until after people vote would be a major scandal under any normal administration. Here, it’s just Friday.
SCOOP: The WH, led by Susies Wiles, has taken a heavy handed approach in directing AG Todd Blanche to slow walk any abortion matters ahead of the midterms - including in pending mifepristone litigation.
Blanche/admin has told pro-life groups to wait until after election

Wow, these job numbers are TERRIBLE. Many people are saying we must have an “incompetent” president who is “asleep at the wheel”
DUN DUN DUN -- Fox Business on the September jobs report: "The numbers do not look good. I'm looking at 29,000 jobs added. That is well below expectations for 90,000, and our unemployment rate jumps up to 4.2%. A significant slowdown."

TIME Magazine has released the full, unedited transcript of its interview with Trump alongside its cover story I put in the comments. I had to take several breaks to get through it, it's bad, really bad, because it's our President. If you've ever visited a loved one in a Memory Care facility you'd know the residents can give hours long dissertations without saying anything of substance, long strings of filterless free association that could lead anywhere. While Trump has always been a narcissist and a con man, he was also an effective communicator, you can't pull a successful con without that skill. What we see in this interview seems to be truly disturbing and we need to face it together as a nation and do something about it. Please take the time to read.

You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me.

The Trump Justice Department is reviewing whether the special prosecutor's office that investigated Watergate committed misconduct.

There were a lot of very confident people in my mentions telling me that I was being played and that there was “clearly no terroristic plot” here.
Maybe we should wait for the facts to play all the way out? 🤷♂️

Inflation numbers came out today, and the official story is that inflation went down. What the headline number doesn't tell you is that the government changed how inflation is calculated in the same release. A month ago, they said July inflation was 3.7%. Today, they recalculated July with the new formula and it dropped to 3.36%. If you measure August the same way as the months before it, inflation comes out around 3.8%, which means it went up. They didn't bring inflation down, they just changed how they calculate it.
Bessent did something similar with CPI last month. You only modify the way you calculate if they numbers are that bad. They genuinely thought we wouldn't notice...

The same Brendan Carr who wanted to investigate NBC because Kamala was on SNL?
The same Brendan Carr who wanted to dismantle independent fact checking and accused them of being a “censorship cartel?”
Periodic reminder that the corruption is a feature, not a bug.
FCC Chair Brendan Carr says that new pro-Trump TV ads paid for with government funds don’t “merit any sort of FCC review.” nbcnews.com/politics/trump-a…

I’ve been telling people this was happening for months.
They have fucking group chats where they coordinate their messaging with influencers. And they’re almost certainly using government money to pay the influencers.
It appears @bennyjohnson has now deleted his X post where he clearly pre-composed a post about Sen. Schmitt getting Jack Smith to perjure himself. Genuinely crazy how many big accts on this website appear to be coordinating with Republican politicians behind the scenes.

I’m spitballing here, but:
“Petrol thieves” sent to scout base and get information on surveillance/response times.
Trump’s “they wanted to do big damage” comment could be a lie, but could be a leak of a classified assessment referring to the actual would-be attackers, not the recon element.
I’m guessing he revealed some info that didn’t need to be revealed there.

This whole story is insane.
If passengers hadn’t intervened, this could have been really bad.
Having to worry about rogue pilots as well as hijackers is… not great.
Flydubai Flight 1073 lost most of its rudder after significantly exceeding its never-exceed speed.
The aircraft plummeted over 14,000 feet in 37 seconds, with a max descent rate of 30,976 feet per minute.
