The nomenclature for radical Israeli Jews who are engaged in murder and mayhem against Palestinians must reflect the real, horrifying conditions . The benign use of “settler” soft-pedals the depravity of those trying to drive Palestinians from the region in an effort to ethnically cleanse territory.

Beyond a new rape allegation, the @democrats-judiciary.house.gov report implicates current Attorney General Todd Blanche, stating he "may have engaged in criminal obstruction of justice while acting on a mission to protect Trump," referring to an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. Seems like news!

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

This report has a lot more information than that one less-than-credible accusations against Trump. If people read (I know, it's an impossible ask), you'll see there are three more I would deem extremely well-evidenced and credible.

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

What’s in the new report is more graphic, but Keul has been speaking out about this alleged 1993 rape by Trump since October 2024 www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

This strikes me as a very bright idea, and quite equitable to boot.

Investors in Anthropic are literally passive investors with no say in anything. Here's where I plug my draft article: I've been thinking about supervoting shares and have written up a proposal that would increase the cost of using them, in a way that I hope would reduce externalities.

This is why Trump just said at his rally that he doesn’t care about high gas prices because people who own stakes in the oil and gas industry are getting rich.

Meanwhile, pro-democracy, pro-Europe protesters in Tbilisi, Georgia, are tonight nearing their 700th consecutive day of protest against the pro-Russian government. They haven't missed a single day in the last 23 months.

Like many others I assumed this was funny hyperbole -- "call in the national guard!" type of thing -- but no it's a description of events.

if voting didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to stop you

My Strava logs tell me that I’ve walked over sixty miles in my district during this campaign as I’ve placed door hangers and flyers at homes. That’s in addition to the miles and doors covered by my volunteers, and the mailers I’ve sent across the district thru USPS.

In @newyorker.com , @bartongellman.bsky.social profiles Utah's Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson as she resists the Trump administration's demands for her state's voter rolls.

In 1970 Congress wrote into the Clean Air Act that any person may sue to enforce it, and Mr. Nixon signed it. Now the President's lawyers say he may set that aside, beginning with Mr. Musk's turbines near Memphis. A law that binds only when the President pleases is not a law. It is a favour.

What we learned is that former petrochemical lobbyists now inside the EPA are meeting with former clients and then moving to force career staff at the EPA to rollback public health protections. We found the actual documents detailing these moves. Smoking guns. (Redlines striking protections)

Overall, we are seeing some very odd deal talks that are supposedly a part of ending the war in Ukraine. But in fact evidence shows these deals are structured (in the most recent case secretly until now) to financially benefit Russia or business partners of the Trump and Witkoff families.

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

The Justice Department's last-second letters about noncitizen voting contain people with no history of voting whatsoever, and they're moving so fast they sloppily sent one county the wrong list of names.

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Jan 2025: Trump shutters SDNY Epstein Probe Mar: 1000+ FBI agents are trained to mark Trump’s name for supervisory review May: Bondi tells Donald he’s in the files June: White House, DoJ, FBI conspire to create “case closed” memo July: Memo released Aug: Maxwell moved/sex offender status waived

🧊 THEY LIED TO THE COURT ‼️ The Eastern 767 (N703KW) flight to Equatorial Guinea that ICE claimed in court was canceled – in order to avoid returning a wrongfully deported man – just landed in Malabo 👀

Trump has made more stock trades in his second term than all 535 members of Congress combined.

A lawsuit filed this week alleges the school’s principal at one point told a girl and her parents they shouldn’t “ruin these boys’ lives.”

The Executive Branch has no authority to regulate states’ election decisions as to candidate qualifications, and the choice to file a lawsuit like this just days before an election speaks volumes about the political corruption festering at the top levels of the DOJ.

BREAKING: Officials in the Ahmed Soliman case tell the court the government can’t return him to the US on the ICE flight I reported was scheduled to land there tomorrow because it has been canceled. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Allowing one unelected man to have control over crucial aspects of the US military, allied militaries, the US space program, and so many other aspects of human life is absolutely insane. We were stupid to allow this to happen and it must be fixed ASAP.

This article came out six weeks ago, there's enough public evidence that @foreignpolicy.com let me say "bribed" without caveat, and still, the new Kushner revelations show he was BRIBED. Directly bribed. Right into secret foreign accounts bribed. Massively corrupt, ultimately world-changing bribes.

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Staggering corruption

There is no excuse for imprisoning children and pregnant women. Full stop. Yesterday I made my 17th visit to an immigration detention facility.

Logistics of measles outbreak investigations: nightmare. If in a space where a measles case was present up to 2 hours earlier, considered exposed. Yes, it’s that contagious.

The Russians hacked Jared's phone. Then Dutch cyberspies then reverse-engineered that hack, giving them unprecedented access to his world. Bananas story in @vanityfair.com

It's illegal. Under Utah Code § 20A-3a-801, only a person who is registered to vote in Utah may register to serve as a watcher. Utah statute does not allow for federal monitors of its elections, and Federal law states that States control their elections. www.fox13now.com/news/local-n...

If DOJ asserted the power to make you change the name of your first-born kid — if DOJ said “we’ll take you to court!” to try to make you change the name of your first-born kid — you’d never have to change the name of your first-born kid in response. Same here.

​Instead, lifting sanctions just lets Russia sell fuel without a discount, handing them more money to murder Ukrainians, all while everyday Americans gain nothing.

Oligarchs' empires are privately controlled even if publicly traded. David Ellison has voting control over Paramount- Skydance (CBS, CNN); Zuckerberg over Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads); Musk over X and SpaceX. TikTok's algorithm is still controlled by its Chinese founder. You have no control.
