RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.
βBillionaires who popularized stock-based lending include Larry Ellison and Elon Musk. Both borrow to avoid having to sell sharesβwhich could trigger a taxes and dilute their voting rightsβin companies they founded.β

Another story impossible to imagine in any other administration: the president's son goes hunting with a Russian criminal who is part of Putin's security entourage

The most beautiful sentence I ever wrote is being housed in a fireproof box underground. Everyone who ever read it spontaneously combusted in a blaze of glee. I couldn't get prose insurance for years after that.
π¨BREAKING: We have moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Trump from continuing to unconstitutionally impose themselves upon election administration procedures that the Constitution and federal law assign to the States.
Early voting just crossed 30 million

The editorial board said using a survivorβs abuse against them crosses a line that should matter to every Ohioan, regardless of party. βWe are better than this. We have a responsibility to show it.β
Vivek Ramaswamyβs ad targeting Amy Actonβs childhood sexual abuse backfired. It prompted Ohioβs largest newspaper, The Plain Dealer, to reverse its policy on political endorsements and endorse Acton for governor.
Mayor Mamdani and Councilmember Kayla Santosuosso visited the New York Aquarium to meet some seals and celebrate the impact of the administrationβs $2 million investment in the aquarium.
Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War.

Make your mark. Local matters.
1. Projections donβt win elections. TURNOUT wins elections.
2. Trump-dominated Republicans will do everything they can to cheat, including the kinds that removing observers makes easier, and a LOT of aggressive voter suppression (which IS cheating). Turnout will be harder but even MORE important.
These numbers are telling.
CBS News projects Democrats at 229 House seats to Republicansβ 206. Look at what voters are saying:
β’ 65% say the economy is bad.
β’ 57% say Trumpβs policies have hurt them financially.
β’ DONβT MISS THIS: 83% say government corruption is a major factor in their vote.

Even with all the levers of power he has his hands on, and even with control of every mechanism in the federal government, Trump has been unable to find election fraud. So he's crowdsourcing it now.
Trump: "Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States.
"In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct."
Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...
π¨ A bombshell new House Judiciary Democrats report details allegations from 11 women linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, including five who accuse Trump of sexual assault.
The report also alleges a sweeping DOJ cover-up.
We broke down the explosive findings.
The allegations against Donald Trump for sexual assault seem to have a common denominator: He is physically violent and intentionally inflicts pain on his victims. He likes to slam women and girls up against doors and walls as he roughly manhandles them. Donald Trump is a sick and twisted person.
NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epsteinβs 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.
The US is not about to have a free and fair election. The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor the ruling party in multiple ways.
It's a mostly free, somewhat unfair election. But still one where the ruling party can be overwhelmed by numbers. Hence the term "competitive authoritarianism."
It is atrocious we have to operate under this constant credible and explicit threat from one political party, the fact we keep calling it a βfree and fair electionβ needs some light revising
Another stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian students voted out their authoritarian leadership after months of protests against corruption, taking their fight from the streets to the ballot box and turning people power into political power.
