Freedom of Speech is the foundation of any functional democracy. To those holding power or influence in any way: it is the measuring stick of your level of tolerance, fairness, transparency and accountability. An oppressor can only contain it for some time but not all the time.
@kaitlancollins Bravo: This move is a typical example of how deals are made. Although rookie in the game, Abdul El-Sayed understands the political code that cracks open the most important signature in Washington D.C

Politics is a theatre that sustains only those willing to be steadfast and always ready for the unknown punches. It is not for a choir audience but a boxing match audience 👇

I usually try to stay out of public comments on partisan politics in the U.S. But these 2026 midterm results… it’s a bloodbath. Republicans look like the undefeated Michael Spinks getting knocked out by Mike Tyson in 91 seconds of the 1st round. So many lessons to learn from this. America’s democracy feels alive and bubbly healthy 👇
LeBron James is still performing at an elite level deep into his career. At his age, that kind of consistency is extremely rare. There’s something different about the King, maybe it’s time we humble ourselves and ask him for the secrets! 👇
To mark the International Day of Political Prisoners, CPJ has joined the October 30 Coalition of human rights organizations in issuing a joint statement to call for international attention for political prisoners, their releases, and for accountability.

Jayson Tatum is a gentle superstar. He handles public scrutiny and drama with rare composure, and he meets controversy with class and clear-eyed insight. Today’s performance is a warning shot to the league and naysayers! @jaytatum0
Lula deserves this victory, even at an advanced age. He understands the struggles of ordinary Brazilians in a way few politicians do. As Julian Assange noted on X, Lula fought hard for his release, even while out of power. Many Black and poor Brazilians feel a genuine connection to him. If he now intensifies the fight against violent crime in parts of the country, he could truly cement his legacy. Congratulations to Lula and to the Brazilians who continue to make democracy work. 👇
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has won reelection, defeating Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, an ally of President Donald Trump, in a razor-thin race that capped a deeply polarized presidential race. https://t.co/HX9ZXPJmWU
The Sixers just put the league on notice:
Joel Embiid. Jaylen Brown. LeBron James.
Three superstars. One statement. The Knicks got the warning shot tonight, and it wasn’t subtle 👇
Cameron’s Paul Biya’s update affirms what I wrote in January 2026 (https://t.co/6Z4o1PqvFh) : the longer the leader stays, the harder it becomes to imagine a transfer of power that doesn’t resemble a rupture. And the more the state depends on one person, the more dangerous that person’s absence becomes
🚨UPDATE: News has it that Cameroon president Paul Biya passed away
Officials in Cameroon are in serious verbal exchange over who will replace Paul Biya before officially declaring him dead.
Bronny is genuinely talented and puts in serious work. The issue isn’t effort or ability, it’s that his playing style hasn’t been given the right support to fully shine. And when you’re with the Lakers, that challenge gets amplified. The lights never turn off, and the pressure never really lets up.
Bronny James is facing growing speculation about his future with the Lakers after struggling in his last four preseason games.
His last 4 games:
🔸 0 PTS, 0/2 FG, 0 AST, 4 TO
🔸 4 PTS, 4 REB, 6 AST, 4 TO
🔸 4 PTS, 1 REB, 5 AST, 3 TO
🔸 3 PTS, 5 REB, 2 AST, 1 TO
Lakers head coach JJ Redick also admitted that Bronny hasn't played well this preseason. 👀
Joseph Kabila’s recent conduct raises questions about either a period of personal transition or the caliber of advice available to him. He exercised executive authority over the Democratic Republic of the Congo from 2001 until 2019.
Throughout his tenure, various rebel factions engaged in armed confrontations while he governed from Kinshasa. It remains difficult to comprehend the basis on which he now seeks, through rebellion, to reclaim the power he constitutionally relinquished.
OPERATION BLACKOUT: Another massive blow to global scam empires targeting Americans.
Under President Trump’s leadership, this FBI and our partners delivered:
✅ 28 arrests in Ghana and Nigeria
✅ 350+ devices seized
✅ 3.7 MILLION scam-linked accounts, pages and groups taken down
✅ $11 MILLION+ in potentially freezable funds identified
✅ 120+ trafficked workers identified
To the criminals stealing Americans’ hard-earned money: Your borders won’t protect you. Your compounds won’t hide you.

Shamelessness makes the world feels pretty contradictory these days. People with real power have a huge effect on everyone under them. But when that power goes unchecked, it turns into a place where abuse thrives.
No transparency. No one held accountable. No one having to actually own the damage they do.
That’s the power paradox.

Lakers fan. Heat sympathizer. And Mazzulla still made my day: Every team feels tight right now because nobody’s been benched, blamed, or left standing in the corner without the ball. Wait until things don’t go your way. That’s when you find out who you are.
I conquer with the Celtics coach 100%!! A man’s true character shows up when he’s in the most uncomfortable situations, and it says a lot about Mazzulla’s pedigree as a charismatic leader and world-class coach👇
