from NPR No Kings turns its focus to voting this weekend. Here’s what we know
October 17, 20265:00 AM ET
By Ava Berger
No Kings, the coalition known for organizing anti-Trump protests, is trying a different democratic tactic: increasing voter turnout.
On Saturday, grassroot groups across the country will hold over 3,000 “No Kings: Vote Early” marches and other events. Organizers say these events are a nonpartisan effort to promote early voting in the midterm elections, and will involve helping people check their voter registration, make a plan to cast their ballot and understand their voting rights.
The voting push effort marks a pivot for the No Kings coalition, which comprises hundreds of partner organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union and Black Voters Matter.
No Kings has previously held three days of nationwide protests since the start of Trump’s second term because organizers say Trump’s actions in office are more akin to those of a monarch than a democratically elected head of state. Trump has previously rejected the idea that he is behaving like a monarch.
“The first three No Kings were designed to send a message,” says Ezra Levin, the co-founder of Indivisible — one of the major organizations within the No Kings network. “We’re done sending a message.”
Now, he says, they want people to vote.
There are two main goals for the event, says Levin, the first is to help facilitate what he hopes will be the largest number of midterm early voting numbers in the country’s history.
The second goal is No Kings groups getting volunteers trained as poll watchers, an endeavor Levin says is in response to efforts by the Trump administration that he views as threats to election integrity. Levin points to the failed SAVE America Act that would have required voters to show a document proving their U.S. citizenship, such as a passport or a birth certificate, when registering to vote. He also raises concerns that federal immigration officers will be sent to the polls, and President Trump’s attempted restrictions on voting by mail.
What do organizers expect nationwide?
Saturday’s events vary widely across the country, from block parties to cookouts to rallies. In Golden, Colo., a “Paws to the Polls” event invites people to bring their dogs on a march. Organizers in Everett, Wash., planned a “concert for democracy,” featuring an environmental troubadour.
All events will share similar restrictions, Levin says, including a rule against political endorsements and inviting current candidates to speak.
Superhero capes and masks will be a staple of Cammy Dunford’s event in Frisco, Texas. Dunford, a co-leader of Indivisible Frisco, plans to hold a “voting is your superpower” gathering. She will be wearing a red and blue cape (to embrace the political spectrum of voters) and will give away other superhero capes and masks.
“I don’t care if you’re an independent, first-time voter, Democrat, Republican,” Dunford says, “if you are eligible to vote, you need to get out there and vote. Because without everybody voting, we don’t have a democracy.”
Early voting in Texas does not start until Oct. 19, but Dunford and a group of her neighbors put together 500 mini goodie bags to hand out — filled with QR codes linking to voting information and voting resources. They will also wave bright signs with superhero-shaped images urging people in passing cars to vote.
Dunford says that her group has two people already trained as poll monitors and is hoping to recruit more on Saturday. She says poll monitors are trained by Common Cause, a government watchdog group that equips them to answer questions from voters. They have T-shirts that identify them at the polls, she says, so voters can find them and ask questions.
At a Wyandotte, Mich., event, Christy McGillivray, the executive director of Voters Not Politicians, a nonpartisan advocacy organization, is scheduled to speak to a No Kings crowd about the history of fighting for democracy in the U.S. She says the organization of grassroots events across the country is inspiring.
“It makes people feel like they’re a part of something bigger than themselves,” she says. “And that’s what democracy is. Democracy is about working with each other and for each other.”

“Off with their laws!” declares the Red Queen
from NYT Trump Signs Order Exempting Russia From Sanctions Law
By Alan Rappeport
Updated Oct. 17, 2026, 4:35 a.m. ET
President Trump signed an executive order on Friday night exempting Russia from a new sanctions measure that Congress passed last month, offering another economic lifeline to Russian President Vladimir V. Putin as the United States turns to Russia for help in lowering gas prices.
The sanctions were intended to target Russian officials, oligarchs and financial institutions, and were part of a law that was named after Senator Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina Republican who died in July after spending more than a year building support for the measure.
The law, which is intended to squeeze the financial lifelines sustaining Russia’s war against Ukraine, also provided Mr. Trump with additional tariff authority that he could use to punish countries that continue to trade with Russia.
The White House has broad authority to issue sanctions exemptions or waivers, and the new law requires Mr. Trump to notify Congress only if he opts against imposing the economic restrictions on Russia. Two days before the law is set to take effect, Mr. Trump exercised that power.
“I am hereby waiving the application of such sanctions, restrictions and duties provided for in the Graham Act,” Mr. Trump said in the order. “I have submitted to the Congress a certification that the issuance of such a waiver at this time is in the national interests of the United States.”
The order does not explain why waiving the sanctions is in the interests of the United States or what rationale Mr. Trump is providing to Congress for the waivers.
The decision comes as Mr. Trump has in recent weeks embraced Russia and expressed frustration that Ukraine’s attacks on Russian refineries were helping to push up gasoline and diesel prices around the world. The biggest factor limiting supplies, though, remains the war in Iran.
“The main issue is still the Strait of Hormuz — that there is not enough diesel coming out of the Strait of Hormuz,” said Sarah Raffoul, an oil product analyst at Argus Media.
The price increases have triggered inflation weeks ahead of midterm elections that could cost Republicans control of Congress. Ukraine said it was willing to halt its refinery strikes if Russia halted its own attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Mr. Putin refused.
Mr. Trump announced last week that he had reached a deal with Mr. Putin, and that the United States would begin importing Russian diesel fuel. The Treasury Department temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian diesel exports “to allow the supply of Russian diesel to the global market,” and gave Russian energy producers a general license to sell diesel fuel until April.
That decision angered President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, and drew backlash from European officials. This week, a bipartisan group of senators urged Mr. Trump to reverse the sanctions waiver on diesel fuel.
The move to waive the sanctions that were enacted in the new law drew a swift rebuke from critics in Congress, who had predicted that Mr. Trump would not impose them.
“Trump’s latest surrender to Putin again betrays our Ukrainian partners and defies clear congressional intent of legislation designed to punish Russia for its illegal war of aggression,” said Representative Don Beyer, Democrat of Virginia.
Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, the top Democrat on the banking committee, called Mr. Trump’s move an “abject failure” of leadership.
“By waiving these sanctions, Trump is thumbing his nose at Congress’s direction that he ratchet up pressure on the Kremlin, and enabling Vladimir Putin to continue his war of aggression,” Ms. Warren said.
In Ukraine, several public figures said the move amounted to giving up a powerful tool for choking off Russia’s ability to pay for the missiles and drones pounding Ukrainian cities every day.
Mr. Trump “is feeding the Russian war machine,” Oleksandr Merezhko, the chairman of the Ukrainian Parliament’s foreign affairs committee, said in a phone interview. “This is absolutely outrageous.”
Vladyslav Vlasiuk, an adviser to Mr. Zelensky who spent months lobbying American officials and members of Congress to pass the sanctions law, commented bitterly on Facebook: “On the wrong side of history.”
The sanctions law was the brainchild of Mr. Graham, a Russia hawk and close ally of Mr. Trump’s. The legislation, which was set to take effect on Oct. 18, won bipartisan support despite concern that the president would not heed the sanctions requirements, and that he would potentially misuse the tariff authority.
The law gave Mr. Trump the power to target countries importing Russian oil and gas with up to 100 percent tariffs, subject all Russian imports to the United States to up to 500 percent tariffs, and take greater aim at Russia’s “shadow fleet” of oil tankers and banking system.
In the executive order, Mr. Trump said that the United States would “monitor” the purchases of Russian oil by other countries and that his advisers would recommend whether to take further action on tariffs.
It is not clear if waiving some of the sanctions means that Russia will be welcomed back into the Western financial system after years of being an outcast.
“The underlying sanctions architecture remains in place, and no one wants to be caught holding the risk when the waiver is pulled,” said Daniel Tannebaum, a partner at Oliver Wyman, a consulting firm that advises banks on anti-money laundering and sanctions matters. “I’m not sure what positive impact to the American economy will be derived in reality.”
The move to exempt Russia from the new sanctions came days after Ukraine said that a Pentagon-funded satellite internet program used by the Ukrainian military had been throttled without warning, disrupting military operations and fueling concerns that Washington was tightening the screws on Kyiv even as it eased them on Moscow.
It remains unclear how the throttling came about. Ukrainian officials have strongly suggested that restrictions had been deliberately imposed on the program, which is a military version of Starlink, the satellite-internet network operated by SpaceX.
On Friday, Mr. Trump denied having ordered restrictions and said that he didn’t think that Elon Musk, the chief executive of SpaceX, had either. A bipartisan group of U.S. senators has demanded an investigation into the disruptions.

from Mediaite via MSN ‘Lindsay would be appalled’: GOP senators react after Trump pauses Russian sanctions bill named for late colleague
Story by Kathianne Boniello

Lame duck Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) were blunt in their assessment of President Donald Trump’s executive order officially pausing a Russian sanctions bill championed by and named for the late Lindsay Graham.
The pair joined a chorus of critics who were aghast at Trump’s move to shield Russia from the sanctions.
“Lindsey would be appalled,” Cornyn wrote on X early Saturday, as outrage grew over Trump’s decision to shield Russia from the impacts of the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026.
Tillis — who like Cornyn is leaving Congress when his term ends — also slammed the president’s Friday night gift to Russia.
“Beyond irresponsible. What part of enforcing a law passed 86-11 by the Senate does the President and his advisors not understand?” Tillis wrote on X early Saturday.
“It’s unconscionable that this administration is capitulating to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians every single day. If the President wants to actually bring down energy prices, he can do it by solving the Iran problem, not by doing a solid for Vladimir Putin,” he wrote.
Trump signed the Russian sanctions bill into law in September, but in the weeks since agreed to an historic, and much criticized, deal to buy diesel fuel from Russia amid soaring prices at home sparked by Trump’s ongoing war in Iran.
The bill would have levied penalties on Russian officials, wealthy elites, and financial institutions while targeting countries that continue purchasing Russian energy.
It also green lit tariffs of up to 100% on imports from major buyers of Russian oil and gas.
Graham, who visited Ukraine just days before his sudden death in July, had championed the sanctions.
Cornyn and Tillis have clashed with Trump more than once in their final months in Congress.
The pair briefly held up the nomination of Todd Blanche as US attorney general before falling back in line, and Tillis has been on a media tour practically shredding Trump allies like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

– A federal judge ruled that top Trump administration officials spread “entirely false information” to justify firing a former top official at the Federal Emergency Management Agency as part of “outrageous government conduct.”
Mary Comans was fired as FEMA’s chief financial officer on Feb. 11, 2025, for allegedly approving millions in hotel rooms for undocumented immigrants. But U.S. District Judge William Fitzpatrick in Virginia found the spending was approved by others and that officials such as Elon Musk, a former presidential adviser who headed the Department of Government Efficiency, and former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, were “knowingly spreading false information about her.”
“For reasons unfathomable to this Court, officials chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an impeccable record of public service,” Fitzpatrick wrote Oct. 13. “The attacks against Ms. Comans were based entirely on false information, and many government officials knew the accusations were untrue at the time they were made.”
Musk came to the US on a student visa, but worked instead. Toss him out on his SA backside! right after attaching all of his assets (which are just our tax dollars in the form of government contracts). Make SpaceX part of NASA.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX has taken money directly from Chinese investors, according to previously sealed testimony, raising new questions about foreign ownership interests in one of the United States’ most important military contractors.
A secret of Thiel’s is that his fortune was built not just with brains but also with massive tax breaks. By 2019, Thiel’s holdings had grown so vast and diverse that his $5 billion was spread across 96 subaccounts inside his Roth.
As his wealth grew, Thiel showered millions of dollars on Republican politicians and groups with an anti-tax agenda, including Club for Growth Action. In 2016, he became the rare Silicon Valley titan to endorse Donald Trump.
Roth IRAs were intended to help average working Americans save, but IRS records show Thiel and other ultrawealthy investors have used them to amass vast untaxed fortunes.
Over the last 20 years, Thiel has quietly turned his Roth IRA — a humdrum retirement vehicle intended to spur Americans to save for their golden years — into a gargantuan tax-exempt piggy bank, confidential Internal Revenue Service data shows. Using stock deals unavailable to most people, Thiel has taken a retirement account worth less than $2,000 in 1999 and spun it into a $5 billion windfall.
To put that into perspective, here’s how much the average Roth was worth at the end of 2018: $39,108.
Thiel, a fan of J.R.R. Tolkien, by then had brought his Roth under the auspices of a family trust company called Rivendell Trust. In “The Lord of the Rings,” Rivendell is a secret valley populated by elves, a misty sanctuary against forces of darkness. Thiel’s earthly version resides in a suburban Las Vegas office complex, across from a Cheesecake Factory, and is staffed by a small group of corporate lawyers.
As long as you wait to cash out until you’re 59 and a half years old, that money will never be taxed.
People who open a Roth don’t get the tax break on the money they initially put in. But once they deposit that money, their investments grow tax-free forever and retirees don’t pay a penny of taxes on withdrawals. Even better, unlike a traditional IRA, the Roth doesn’t require retirees to deplete the account as they age.
Sen. Roth promised that his new IRA would “provide relief to hard-working, middle-class Americans.”
While SEC filings describing that time don’t mention Thiel’s Roth, they show that he bought his first slice of the company in January 1999. Thiel paid $0.001 per share — yes, just a tenth of a penny — for 1.7 million shares. At that price, he was able to buy a large stake for just $1,700.
In 1999, $2,000 was the maximum amount you could put into a Roth in a year.
Thiel’s unusual stock purchase risked running afoul of rules designed to prevent IRAs from becoming illegal tax shelters. Investors aren’t allowed to buy assets for less than their true value through an IRA. The practice is sometimes known as “stuffing” because it gets around the strict limits imposed by Congress on how much money can be put in a Roth.
PayPal later disclosed details about the early history of the company in an SEC filing before its initial public offering. The filing reveals that Thiel’s founders’ shares were among those the company sold to employees at “below fair value.”
Suddenly, Thiel had an advantage few investors could claim: His own personal investment bank that wasn’t subject to taxation. He could now use the cash inside the Roth to buy and sell nearly any investment he wanted. Thiel used the millions in proceeds from his PayPal windfall to invest in other Silicon Valley startups as well as his own hedge fund, according to his financial assistant’s memo. Once again, Thiel’s Roth scooped up startup shares at bargain-basement prices.
For instance, Thiel and colleagues in 2003 founded Palantir, a data analytics company, helped by an early investment from a CIA-backed venture fund. The company was named after the “seeing stones” made by elves in the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, used to detect danger near and far.
Thiel used his Roth to buy shares of Palantir when it was still a private company, years before it was listed on the New York Stock Exchange, according to a ProPublica analysis of tax records, an SEC filing and shareholder records included in a civil suit.

European diplomats attacked by Israeli settlers in West Bank
The attack came only a day after a number of Palestinians and Heidi Levine, a Washington Post photographer, were injured in a separate assault by settlers in another village in the West Bank.
The diplomats – from Belgium, France, Poland and the Catholic Church – had come to the largely Christian village of Taybeh near Ramallah.

The EPA Is About to Hand Oil and Gas Companies a Huge Methane-Related Gift
Rolling back regulations will give industry players “exactly what they’ve long wanted.”
The new proposal would weaken regulations on oil and gas operators to allow for additional leaking, venting, and flaring—a move that could significantly raise emissions of the greenhouse gas super-pollutant.
Methane has 80 times more heat-trapping potential than carbon dioxide over a 20-year life span, and some scientists and policy experts say reducing the gas could help pull “the emergency brake” for climate change. The oil and gas sector is one of the largest sources of methane emissions in the United States and is responsible for one-third of global methane emissions. Previous regulations attempted to rein in those emissions, as well as other harmful air pollution emitted by oil and natural gas operations.
Grok Is More Important Than Clean Air, DOJ Says
An unprecedented legal filing claims that regulating Elon Musk’s xAI could kill us.
xAI’s massive Colossus 2 data center, in the Memphis area, was built primarily to train Grok models—new iterations of the AI that might be best known for calling itself “MechaHitler.” And it has onsite dozens of unpermitted gas turbines to serve its massive energy needs. Colossus 2’s power plant constitutes one of the largest industrial sources of smog-forming nitrogen oxides in the nation, able to emit well over 5,000 tons per year. People living near the site say they’re plagued with poor air quality and constant noise.
‘National security’ has also been a frequent refrain of the Trump administration’s attempts to ramp up fossil fuel extraction, said Kym Meyer of the Southern Environmental Law Center. “We’ve seen, in this administration, national security used as a way to speed up permitting reviews for pipelines, to fast-track oil drilling, and to essentially eliminate all the environmental checks that are usually in place.”
And it means that opposition to potential environmentally-destructive projects can be cast as anti-American. That’s increasingly the case with data center developments across the United States, not just those pushed by Musk or xAI. Developer and celebrity investor Kevin O’Leary, in Utah, dismissed his critics as Chinese plants; Mississippi Republican Gov. Tate Reeves claims Grok is “preventing our adversaries—particularly China—from closing the technology gap.”
If the White House succeeds, Meyer said, the implications go far beyond just data centers. The administration would have every incentive to intervene in any citizen case against a Trump-aligned polluter and dismiss it.
“This is a blatant attempt to let well-connected corporations like xAI unlawfully pollute without any consequences,” she said.
Cameron Stanley, the Pentagon’s AI chief, added in a declaration that “If xAI is hindered from continuing to improve and upgrade Grok…DoW’s ability to meet its national security mission and keep pace with adversaries will be impaired.” The Pentagon has paid Musk’s company at least $200 million for use of the chatbot.

“ What we have heah… is failure to communicate…”
I was disappointed as I arrived 30 minutes early to the parking lot where the Wauseon Ohio NK Day was allegedly scheduled for 11 AM. Not a soul around.
I drove to the nearby McDonald’s for a senior coffee and asked around if anybody knew anything about the No King’s Day. Crickets… not a peep.
I drove the 30 miles home only to see a rally on our courthouse Square, which is less than a half mile from my house. But it was a patriotic rally.
I knew what that was going to be so I just drove home. After watching a football game, I started wondering did I have the wrong location even though I had researched this and found out the exact address… so I asked Gordon… and Gordon knew. They had pushed back the assembly time for the rally by 90 minutes. I just found out too late. So dammit all to hell.
