1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

As Rep. Max Miller campaigns for a third term, a trove of court and police records obtained by Mother Jones details allegations of physical abuse, drug use, and misogyny raised during a bitter custody battle with his ex-wife.

Amid all the Republican pearl-clutching over election integrity, ERIC was the single organization best equipped to help states ensure exactly that. And suddenly MAGA Republicans wanted nothing to do with it.

I know that everyone is focused on Trump's attacks in California and Alaska. My team is fighting in court in both places. But understand the fight for free and fair elections is much broader. Elias Law Group is currently litigating 92 voting and election cases in 42 states plus DC.

Perfect. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

John Roberts has spent his entire career trying to kill the Voting Rights Act. Now his Republican-appointed majority is dusting off arguments once used to destroy Reconstruction to roll back the gains made during the civil rights era.

I saw we recuse all justices who presided over Trump v. US, since they authorized Trump to break the law in this way. Meaning, the 9th C should decide.

this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Vivek Ramaswamy's new ad is beyond despicable. With no ideas to run on and no accomplishments beyond “We made everything more expensive!”, GOP candidates seem to have hatched a plan: Let’s just be the most wretched versions of ourselves. My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Last week I wrote about how Texas politicians’ “free speech” campaign has led to a campaign of academic censorship in the state’s universities that exceeds even the McCarthy era (🎁🔗) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

“Don’t use real-world locations,” ChatGPT told the shooter, later adding: “You can still be twisted. Just be clever about it.” Our investigation uncovers how OpenAI's chatbot fed a school shooter’s violent fantasies and planning for a massacre

Maybe the whole playboy schtick was a cover all along and dementia is pulling him out of the closet.

This is what happens when intelligent, good people run for office. Compare this to a lying blowhard Republican politician blathering on Fox News or at a Trump rally. There’s simply no comparison. It’s two different universes. And I believe Americans are getting fed up with the dumb universe.

The 287(g) program teaming local cops with ICE has created an American secret police Check out what happens in Carroll Twp., Pa. when Sgt. Terry Williams spots a resident filming an immigration arrest It's legal to film traffic stops. This is unconstitutional (full column in 2nd post)

The timing of the raid on Omar’s Washington-area home—22 days before the November midterms, in which she is a heavy favorite for reelection—adds additional scrutiny, as DOJ policy prohibits federal prosecutors and agents from timing investigations or charges to affect election outcomes.

When the Auschwitz Memorial has to fact check the new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia for being a nut.

Trump blames Ukraine—not his war on Iran—for spiking oil prices around the world. Oh, in addition to lifting sanctions against Russia and striking deals to obtain its diesel.

Democrats can't get overconfident about the midterms. Focus! A plea from me: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Kimberly Guilfoyle's grifting scandal keeps getting worse

The police said she lied about being raped. Then she hit record.

this shit is beyond parody, man. It truly is the make a wish presidency. now Trump is getting an award!

There are at least FOUR Trump huge oil corruption stories from just the [double checks calendar] last two days. There's the NYT story about Trump selling out Ukraine to get a $2M donor a big contract. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/08/w...

If you think Trump’s “musings” and “jokes” are not worth headlines, no matter how shocking or offensive they may be, then you haven’t been paying attention. The past decade and past week show they're too dangerous too ignore. My new piece at @contrariannews.org www.contrariannews.org/p/dont-dismi...

No wonder the Trump people are opening their doors to people charged with bestiality.

lol, if you know my history as a teen Watergate geek, you know I never miss a chance to write about Nixon! But team Trump's obsession with rewriting the 1970s past is really about controlling the future, and killing off the concept of accountability My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

During impeachment, the following happened: 1) Rudy visited known Russian spy Andrii Derkach 2) Bill Barr got copy of Hunter Biden's laptop 3) DOJ dropped Burisma corruption investigation started in 2016 4) Bill Barr set up a side channel to ingest Rudy's RU dirt Impeachment slowed none of that.

Hah! @helenkennedy.com is all over this, and it’s fabulous:

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

this gaffe should follow Eric Schmitt around for the rest of his political life (Jack Smith was actually in Maryland at a HAWKEYES game, not in Atlanta colluding with Fani Willis as Schmitt alleged) (Win McNamee/Getty)

You wouldn't know it from reading the headlines, but the president's downward mental health spiral is the biggest story in America right now We won't salvage democracy unless the media and pols start speaking the truth about Trump's damaged mind My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Great article on how sheriff's deputies in Durham, N.C. are referring people to ICE for very minor offenses. The cooperation between local cops and the immigration goon squads is a growing stain on America indyweek.com/news/durham-...

You do understand that everything he's doing to Washington DC is about fortifying the city when he decides he's not leaving office

How the Supreme Court seized power to rule over the rest of us www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

literal definition of an unholy alliance

The president ordered supporters to raise their right hands, proclaim him the greatest president in history, and promise to “cheat like hell” before warning nonvoters that they would “go to hell.”

Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

It's not a real political party, folks It just isn't
