Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa

We currently see no signs from Russia that it wants to end the war. We see no basic steps toward de-escalation. Everyone is talking about diesel and forgetting about grain. In a month or two, everyone will start talking about an agricultural crisis. There won’t be enough food for countries across Africa, some Asian countries, and the Middle East, because we export millions of tons of grain to these very markets. And now Russia is blocking the sea. The United States isn’t feeling the effects of this, which is why the focus is only on energy. This is another challenge. It’s hunger. And it can affect many countries. And we need to think about everything and everyone, because we all live on this planet. We can prevent many different crises before they even begin and avert the challenges they bring. From remarks at the Warsaw Security Forum. (2)

Kyle Cheney@kyledcheneyHAPPENING NOW: Judge Reyes is furious. She has repeatedly told the government to inform her before any major demolition work was done on the golf course. The abrupt removal of 500 trees, without notice, "has cost the government all of its credibility" in this case.9:06 AM · Oct 12, 2026·

CNN @CNN

After hearing Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy unload his characteristically colorful combination of homespun quips, over-the-top insults and Talladega Nights movie quotes to reporters on Friday, former Rep. Mike Rogers, the Michigan Senate GOP candidate with whom Kennedy was campaigning, knew his own words wouldn't be getting much attention. "It's like following the baton twirler in the talent show," Rogers said. "You know, you're never going to win that thing." cnn.it/4euyMxt

NickFrank40 @NickyFrank30

This, combined with El-Sayed having to rely on Kamala Harris, Elissa Slotkin and Barack Obama to get him to the finish line, really drives home the reality that once they clear primaries, these leftists NEED the support of affirmation of the establishment they hate, and they know it.

Talarico: I've heard credible reports that Ken Paxton has a serious medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. People are concerned. He has asked for proof of life from me. I'm asking for proof of spine from him.

The Husky@Mr_Husky1Nine years of working night shifts in hospice care taught me something I’ll never forget: People nearing the end of their lives rarely ask for the things you’d expect. Sometimes, they don’t ask for God. They don’t ask for miracles. Sometimes, they ask for something so small it breaks your heart. Room 4 belonged to an 86-year-old man named Walter. He had lung cancer. His wife, Dorothy, had died in 2019, and he hadn’t had a single visitor in eleven days. One night, around 2 a.m., he waved me over.
“Are you married?” he asked. “No,” I told him. He nodded slowly. “Then you probably don’t wear perfume.” I smiled and told him I had some in my locker. “What kind?” “Nothing fancy. Just something cheap from the drugstore.” He shook his head. “Dorothy wore White Shoulders. Every night before bed. Not for church. For bed.” He chuckled, but the laughter quickly turned into a coughing fit.
When he finally caught his breath, he looked at the ceiling and said something I still think about. “I used to tell her she was wasting it on me. She’d say, ‘The good stuff isn't for God. It’s for whoever has to look at you in the morning.’” Then he smiled. Not the polite smile people give strangers. The kind that belongs to someone remembering the best years of his life. I finished my shift at seven that morning, but I couldn’t stop thinking about Dorothy. So I drove to three different pharmacies until I finally found a bottle of White Shoulders. It was tucked on the bottom shelf, behind the nail polish remover. $18.99. That evening, on my night off, I went back to the hospice. Walter was asleep. I didn’t wake him. I sprayed a little perfume on the inside of his pillowcase, then sprayed a washcloth and gently folded it across his chest. I sat beside him for a while. He never opened his eyes. But slowly, almost painfully slowly, his hand rose from the blanket. He reached for the washcloth and rested his palm flat against it. Then he held it there. His breathing softened. His face relaxed.
For the first time in days, the tension seemed to leave his body. I've watched many people die over the years. Nurses learn to recognize the moments when someone stops struggling against what is coming. That night, I watched Walter settle into a memory that was bigger than the room he was lying in. Maybe he was remembering Dorothy getting ready for bed. Maybe he was remembering the way she smelled when she climbed beside him. Maybe, for a few precious minutes, he wasn't an 86-year-old man dying alone. Maybe he was simply a husband lying next to his wife again. Walter passed away on Thursday morning. Nobody came to collect his belongings. His room was cleaned, his bed was remade, and eventually another patient moved in. The world kept going, as it always does. But I never forgot him. People think hospice care is about managing pain, administering medication, and making someone comfortable during their final days. And yes, it is. But sometimes, comfort isn't a medication. Sometimes, it's a familiar song. A voice you haven't heard in years. A hand holding yours when the room goes quiet. Or the smell of the person you loved most in the world. We spend our entire lives building what we call home. We fill it with furniture, photographs, clothes, and all the ordinary things we barely notice until they're gone. But when everything else is stripped away, home can become something incredibly small. A familiar scent. A remembered touch. A voice saying your name. Sometimes, home is the person you keep expecting to find beside you when you wake up. And sometimes, when you can't bring that person back, the kindest thing another human being can do is help you remember them one last time. I've worked nine years of night shifts in hospice care.
If there's one thing I've learned, it's this: At the end of life, people don't always need someone to save them. Sometimes, they just need someone to remind them that they were loved.12:20 AM · Oct 12, 2026·

Mike Brock @brockm

Someone just pointed out how many of the Russian bots have blue checkmarks. Turns out X makes a lot of money spreading Russian propaganda.

The United States versus Elon Reed Musk @Needle_of_Arya

what you see: white Gen-Z influencers parroting MAGA talking points what I see: his dad, in the 20th century, whose own father was Silent Generation and still mad that the Civil rights movement had happened and that "the Coloreds were allowed to roam free"

Mother Jones @MotherJones

The stats don't lie: Trump is a raging racist. And the people most often at the receiving end of his wrath are Black women.

Crazy Vibes @CrazyVibes_1Being a single woman over 40 with no parental safety net means knowing that your emergency fund isn't just money in the bank. It's your security, your independence, and sometimes the only thing standing between you and a crisis. There's no one to call when the car breaks down, no parents to help when an unexpected bill arrives, and no guaranteed safety net if you lose your job or get sick. Every emergency is yours to handle. Every decision carries weight. And every dollar you save represents a little more peace of mind in a world where you know you have to be your own backup plan. People with family they can fall back on don't always understand the mental load of knowing that if everything falls apart, you're the one who has to put the pieces back together. It's exhausting having to be strong, responsible, and financially prepared for every possible worst-case scenario. So here's to the women building their own safety nets, saving what they can, figuring things out as they go, and quietly carrying responsibilities nobody else sees. Shoutout to every woman who has had to become her own safety net, her own rescue plan, and her own hero. You deserve more than just survival. You deserve to feel safe, too. 10:25 AM · Oct 11, 2026·65.5K Views
