ER Doc ret. Politics, dogs, cats, cooking, Don't blame me I voted for Harris/Walz. I Block all antivax, forced birth, ammosexuals and fascist assholes. Mansplaining blocked on a case by case basis. Here because Elon wants a broligarchy/kakistocracy.
Trump: "So I'm studying him. And I made the mistake of saying that I started off by studying his ass. I just wantasink. And then I looked at his feet & they were massive. I made the mistake of studying his anatomy. Maybe I should do that with Ken Paxton, but I'm not sure your body is gonna qualify."
Last year today was one of the scariest days of my life.
We initially called a lawyer who wanted to work with feds to arrange a perp walk. Kat told that guy to fuck himself.
Thank God for the National Lawyer's Guild, who Kat called right after. They were ready to fight the bullshit on zero notice.
Today is the anniversary of being told by an FBI agent that I was about to be federally indicted.
I tried to look for pictures from that day but all there is the tableau of full-body stress hives all over my back. 0/10, take better pictures future Kat
Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski has endorsed Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins for governor of Alaska, crossing party lines just one week before the midterms.
She urged Republicans, independents, and Democrats to consider the Democratic ticket: “Alaska needs leaders who will put our state first.”
She's right, the votes in the Senate aren't there but that doesn't mean the House should abdicate their oversight responsibilities. They need to ask themselves, has trump committed impeachable offenses? If the answer is yes, it is, let the people see that you give a fuck and impeach this shitstain.
Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea.
I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there.
I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…
NYT: Vote against Trump up and down the ballot.
"Mr. Trump has dominated American politics for more than a decade, and the Republican Party has been his eager accomplice in degrading the nation’s ideals. The American people have a chance over the next week to speak in a clear voice."
“As I reported hours ago, Flávio Bolsonaro has arrived safely in United States.
The mastermind behind this operation is U.S. Secretary of State @SecRubio .
From the United States, free and safe, Flávio will lead the opposition against Lula.” - Simon Levy … WTF???? 1/
Raskin: "When historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump."
Trump's affordability message: "You could even come to Mar-a-Lago. You'll be my guest. The problem is that for $5,000 the most you'll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I'm not even sure you could buy that! No, don't go there. It's not a good place if you're price conscious."
That Trump Truth Social post about the GOP winning the 2026 election & not counting votes? That’s fake. But its virality in blue online spaces — & via text chains — reflects a broader pattern in this midterm election: there’s A LOT of concern on the left about the potential of federal interference.

The Trump admin is considering lifting sanctions on a Russian investment fund that Biden’s Treasury said was widely viewed as Putin’s “slush fund,” NYT reports. Moscow wants the fund involved in shipping Russian diesel to the U.S. meduza.io/en/news/2026...
Husted: "The president is coming in tomorrow again to Ohio. Don't worry, I was in the weight room this morning working out. I don't want to let him down."
"Journalists often use the words 'unsubstantiated' or 'uncorroberated' when referring to the allegations victims have levied against powerful men, like Trump. Instead of saying these women’s accounts are not corroborated, maybe it’s time we say they were not investigated in spite of clear patterns."
So hard to pick a favorite part of this article.
Pretending that sending unsolicited dick pics at 53 was a “youthful indiscretion” is good, but don’t sleep on the argument that his wife forgave him for subjecting other women to unwanted nude photos so everyone else should too
just heartbreaking stuff
Alex Pretti's mother calls out ICE and the Trump administration for killing her son and smearing his name, and calls for justice to be done.
The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.
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...
Okay, I deleted the original post because people didn't check the link at all and mistook my typo of "young men" seriously.
I clearly meant young women.
Not sure why this isn't a bigger story, but I read this entire report today. It's gutting.

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 remote rendezvous in August highlights the remarkable relationship between a son of the US president and a businessman with ties to the Kremlin. ft.trib.al/9g7wnme
This fucking son of a bitch. The Dr who did my dad's TAVR was a Pakistani immigrant who trump tried to deport in his 1st term. The Cleveland Clinic fought to get him back, why? Because he was one of the few who was able to perform the procedure. /1
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."
I never asked this amazing cardiologist, who let me in with my dad's consultations when all other family members were barred because of COVID what his religion was because who the fuck cares. /3
He was a kind, caring, empathic man and if he was a Muslim and you are dissing him, what does that make you?
It makes you a racist, anti-vax, brain worm infested, snorting cocaine off a toilet seat, raw milk swilling, road kill curious, working out in jeans nutjob.
Did i miss anything? /out

Back in the day, valve replacements were open heart, huge surgeries. Days in the SICU, chest tubes, complications. I scrubbed in on quite a few, so yeah been there. TAVR changed all that, if you qualified for a pig valve, They literally go home the next day. Amazing. /2
The fact that the msm has spent more ink on Obama's Cheesecake Factory comment than the credible reports that our president is a serial rapist blows my mind. It should blow yours too.
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.
"Under Brazilian federal law, all legislators have immunity...To run for President, Bolsonaro decided not to run for his Senate seat. Now, after losing the Presidential election, he no longer has legislative immunity when his Senate term expires in January 2027."
Very Special Episode of no amnesty
Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US.
He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president.

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters:
1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence
2. They want to the GOP to win
Missouri's Amendment 3 would restore an abortion ban with limited exceptions, but its ads focus on a different provision: banning gender transition care for minors.
The campaign website never explicitly states it would repeal the constitutional right to abortion voters approved 2 years ago.
Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"
My take on the Judiciary Democrats releasing new(?) Epstein files; I don't think it is to sway the election but to put trump, his DOJ and Republicans on notice that they are gonna come for them, hard.
Internal polling must be very good.
