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.

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.

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…

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

None of this would be happening if Marco Rubio were still alive.
Q: There's a criticism that we're basically giving Putin something for nothing. We're giving Putin these freebies. What's your response? Rubio: That diesel is going to be sold one way or the other.

It's been a good week for Putin. In recent days, Trump has: * Struck a diesel deal lifting some sanctions * Restricted Starshield for Ukraine * Cut intel warnings of Russian missile launches against Ukraine for several days * Canceled Lindsey Graham sanctions * Demanded Ukraine dump Zelensky * Absolved Russia for helping Iran fight the US * Pushed Europe to resume buying Russian gas

FALSE. Your own lawsuit says the 20,000 are people DHS "reasonably believe" are noncitizens; NOT verified. DOJ outright says they did NOT have time to investigate each person's case. And remember; when DHS sent Nevada a list of 185 names it said were verified — 100% were wrong!
Incorrect, the numbers add up. 
DHS’s July figure, up to 190,832 records, was a PRELIMINARY universe of CA voter-registration records that matched records of aliens in DHS holdings that were pending manual review. The approximately 20,000 referenced in @TheJusticeDept’s complaint are just the subset of records manually verified so far.

Preliminary screening and completed verification are not the same thing — there is zero discrepancy.

Fuck you and Ukraine. Name one thing Russia did to harm the U.S. and its people in the past two decades.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
In September 2026, the DOJ charged five members of a Russian intelligence network with conspiring to finance terrorism and commit murder-for-hire in the US, including a plot against a dissident on US soil. justice.gov/opa/pr/members… justthenews.com/nation/crime/d…
