It's well-documented that the president maintained a years-long friendship with the world's most notorious child sex trafficker. It might strike you as odd there aren't direct allegations of Trump engaging in child sex trafficking.. except there are. There are SO MANY. They just never get reported!

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

A nation succeeding at developing an industry isn’t stealing anything. But what do I know? I’m not an expert like this pampered, corrupt dementia patient running a money-laundering operation while pretending to be a big, tough builder.

Trump: "Look, if we had smart presidents, the Taiwan problem with China wouldn't exist. Nobody would care. They stole our chip business. All of it. 100 percent."

In August, President Trump announced he had signed the “biggest oil deal in world history.” ProPublica reviewed the deal and found it gives a small group of people largely handpicked by the Trump administration long-term control of the enterprise.

The core of everything is corruption. The cruelty, the fascism, the destruction of democracy and reality itself, it's all a means of self-enrichment and empowerment of a class of people that do not give two shits whether we live or die if it means stuffing their pockets. It starts there and expands

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

While Ireland is at risk from the impending bursting of the AI bubble, it has not benefitted much from AI's growth. The investment happening here is producing little that can be taxed, and few jobs. It's virtually all cost and no benefit to us as a country. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

ICE is an ideologically-driven jobs program for men willing to engage in violence on behalf of their authoritarian employer and it would help to view them as a state-sponsored paramilitary militia. And that's probably something to keep in mind as the economy is being imploded.

A “color revolution” is when people protest against their government’s abuses of power, state responses that crack down on rights fail to repress the demonstrations, and the result is reforms the Kremlin doesn’t like.

The Republican Party has all the values and tactics of a white supremacist prison gang and maybe it's time to stop normalizing them as if they were a modern functioning political party

The level of hatred and harassment that Trump is directing at Ilhan Omar is appalling. He's inciting some disturbed person to commit violence against her. The entire Republican Party already has blood on its hands, and it's eager for more.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

a spectacle of fascism as Trump demands Ilhan Omar resign and says Democrats have conceded her seat, and the 20-something dude bros behind him leap up and start cheering

Fred Palowaski reposted

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

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.

There is absolutely no reason to believe anything Palantir says. It is extremely frustrating that all of this shit was predictable, and so many people warned against depending on US tech, and we still got here.

Outstanding. More of this, please. Elon Musk is a white nationalist troll using the billions he made off government contracts to destroy this nation. Light. Him. Up.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

BREAKING WSJ: Vladimir Putin has proposed that he, Trump, and Xi Jinping meet next month to talk about Ukraine in an attempt to negotiate an end to the four-year conflict that would favor Moscow.

Fred Palowaski reposted

If you don't think that Trump is expecting a major quid pro quo from Russia in thanks for his open betrayal of the US, our national security and our allies, think again. And it has nothing to do with peace with Ukraine. Almost certainly it is about two things: election interference and $$$$.

Fred Palowaski reposted

Just as Ukraine regrets relying on Elon, we'll regret relying on X, Meta, and Palantir. But we can't say we didn't see it coming.

Folks, I know it’s easy to get excited about all the polls showing Democrats ahead and feel like this election is a done deal. But we can’t take anything for granted. That’s why I’m urging you to take part in a No Kings early voting event today where you live. https://www.nokings.org/
