1/ I'll explain exactly how this happened because I'm the person at Forbes who calculates these numbers. This is going to take some unraveling, but here's a spoiler: The president's answer here is nonsense.
Ross Douthat asks the President how his net worth rose by nearly $3 billion, according to a Forbes estimate, since he returned to office. Watch the interview Sunday at 7 p.m. ET/PT on 60 Minutes.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that maybe, maybe Russia is not our friend and we shouldn't be going light on the sanctions. Just a thought but I'm not a top tier hardball negotiator like Witkoff.
“Russia agreed to supply Iran with 90 launchers for the advanced guided missiles widely used by its forces in Ukraine, a sign of Moscow’s military support for Tehran despite the demands of its own sputtering war effort.  A production schedule for 2024 and 2025 from a major Russian defence manufacturer, seen by the FT, details an export order for the helicopter-mounted launchers to a buyer identified by a code name used in Russian defence documents to refer to Iran… Both types of launcher [APU-L and APU-305] are designed to carry Russia’s light multipurpose guided missile, known as LMUR or Izdeliye 305, a precision weapon capable of striking moving targets. First unveiled at Russia’s Army Expo in 2021, the missile entered military service in 2022 and has since been widely used by Russian forces in Ukraine.” @maxseddon @MilesMJohnson ft.com/content/19ec7782-9f22…

She's made off with the Mackinac Bridge! But she's left this clue for you, gumshoe: All the Great Lakes might be great, but this one's only the fourth largest of them by surface area.
NewsNation: Haley Stevens casts her ballot on Election Day.

I mean, listen to her. She is not saying she is choosing country over party. She is saying, over and over, that AES told her she isn't welcome at his event. So therefore she decided to throw her weight behind Rogers. It's not complicated!
Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens told ABC News she isn't trying to "cause anyone pain" after announcing on Sunday her decision to endorse GOP candidate Mike Rogers in the Michigan Senate race. Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed responded by saying “none of this matters." abcnews.visitlink.me/faLwze

here's the entirety of the seeming mental breakdown Haley Stevens just had on CNN. One of the most bizarre and incoherent political interviews I can recall. Note how she's completely unable to explain why she changed her mind from supporting Abdul El-Sayed last night to endorsing Mike Rogers today.

RIP Captain Jean-Luc and his willingness to do everything with style. Even drinking champagne from Ricciardo's sweaty shoe.
We’re saddened to learn Sir Patrick Stewart has died at the age of 86. We’ll never forget his Shoey with Daniel Ricciardo. Rest in Peace.

israel pm netanyahu apparently claiming his government not strong enough to present theft of democratic election
הליכוד: הבחירות במדינת ישראל נגנבו על ידי מפלגות ערביות שתומכות בטרור ובחיסול המדינה היהודית באמצעות עבירות פליליות חמורות של שוחד, איומים, אלימות, זיופים ושימוש בתוכנות אסורות להמרצת מצביעים. מפלגת הליכוד מעבירה למשטרה, לשב״כ ולוועדת הבחירות מאות עדויות וראיות על גניבת בחירות בקלפיות ערביות רבות- אלפי מעטפות עם כסף מזומן ופתקי רע״ם, איומים ואלימות כלפי חברי הקלפי, ריבוי מצביעים מאחורי הפרגוד, הצבעות בזהות כפולה, פערים בין מספר המעטפות למספר המצביעים, שימוש בתוכנות המרצה אסורות ועוד. אנו דורשים מהמשטרה ומהשב״כ חקירה יסודית בגין גניבת הבחירות על ידי המפלגות הערביות ומיצוי הדין עם העבריינים. אנו דורשים מוועדת הבחירות התייחסות מיידית לחקירת העבירות הפליליות הללו שפגעו באופן קיצוני בטוהר הבחירות בישראל ובתוצאות הבחירות. זו פגיעה חמורה בדמוקרטיה הישראלית ובזכות הבחירה של אזרחי ישראל. גופי האכיפה מוכרחים לפעול ביד קשה ובאופן מיידי.

MAGA data guru Data Republican says the early vote data is so depressing for the GOP, she can’t share it with her audience.
I've been asked about early voting analysis. The dilemma I have is that my platform is big enough such that being too blunt can have an effect on morale. I'll push out new states and tools out to my website soon, but won't announce them here on 𝕏. I will be giving @realJeremyCarl my predictions a week in advance so he can hold me accountable after Election Day. You MUST turn out and bring their friends, and brace yourself on election night. Even TX is going to be a fight.

Nancy Pelosi, who is regularly hammered for her perceived insider trading, has made 213 total trades since 2014. Trump exceeded that number in a single day, which just happened to precede his own tariffs announcement. My latest on the mind boggling self-enrichment:

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE nytimes.com/2026/10/23/us/po…

“He and his wife both had coins. He got a Netflix deal. You're fine with both of those?" Vance: “I think the president is allowed to earn a living and allowed to live his life and I don't see ... again the question is he profiting off of his office? I just don't see anything.”
“I don’t think there’s evidence that the Trump family has become enriched by politics,” @JDVance tells @MarkHalperin. “I think the fact that their lives were so destroyed — almost destroyed —  I think is evidence that they sacrifice a lot for politics.” And what about his friend, Donald Trump Jr? “I don’t think the standard should be that the president’s son, who’s not involved in politics, should not be able to live his life. I think the standard should be that the president’s son should not be selling access to the president. And I see no evidence of that.”

America would be better off deporting Witkoff to live under Vladimir "The Humanitarian" Putin's rule for the rest of his life. What a disaster of a negotiator.
Witkoff to Putin: “You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian -- you are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that.”

Shoutout to everyone's favorite op-ed:
Oil traders are increasingly pricing the battle over the Strait of Hormuz as the new normal. Futures contracts for brent crude in December 2027 are now close to $90 a barrel, the highest ever and a sharp departure from even a month ago.

Here’s what @elonmusk and others keep missing: Russia can end this war by stopping its invasion. Ukraine can’t end it by surrendering without losing its freedom. Telling Ukrainians to stop defending themselves because fighting costs lives rewards the country killing them. If your “solution” demands courage from the invaded and nothing from the invader, that’s peak weakness. And you need to stop pretending to be some alpha
