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.

$10 cards? That's like two gallons maybe. I certainly hope your vote is worth more than that. At least Willie Wilson was willing to fill your tank.

One of the big MAHA donors straight-up says in the article that he's a registered Dem. The crystals-and-vitamins crowd don't have the misanthropy of the average chud. They like people, they just hate vaccines more.

ICYMI: The MAHA-MAGA marriage is tenuous, and one reason why is the frailty of Kennedy's political apparatus. “It’s not an important election,” said a major Kennedy donor when asked why he hadn’t given recently to MAHA's support for the GOP. GIFT LINK: www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

mitt romney killed toys-r-us for sport and his preferred method of welfare reform would be to sell receipients' organs on an open market but yeah sure he's one of the good ones

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

yeah dude. hell yeah.

The colors at sunrise were *insane* this morning. The sky, the fall colors at Promontory Point, the lake...Sheesh! Sure picked a good morning to wake up early

The poorest nation in the Arabian Peninsula and a country that's been sanctioned to the gills for the last 50 years have the global economy by the short hairs while the American arsenal is more depleted than it's been any time in our lives. People are learning again about the Keyes Constant.

The one guy from your crew who thought hanging out with DOGE was too sketchy and cringe is now running ads telling a child abuse victim that she's a liar who deserved it. The VP would rather change diapers than do his job. You want to garnish wages for student loan debt just to feel something.

The demos that flipped the hardest for you in 2024 have all flipped back and feel betrayed. Your jackboots aren't filming content for Truth Social anymore but everyone still hates them. You dropped an officer to his death during a mid-level G6 conference game. 53 Dem senators would be a relief.

Interest rates are slowing homebuying even though there's still no inventory. The only thing more worrying than the AI Bubble is the population's hatred of data centers. The inner circle is openly terrified that prison might be their best case scenario in 2029. Your main guy is sundowning at noon.

The test-and-tren golem you put in charge of the MIC spends more time reciting old memes to jaded generals than he does figuring out how to win wars without bombing children in schools. Your bored wife is doing pump-and-dumps. The mayor of the president's hometown is a popular Muslim socialist.

there’s no such thing as “strategic bigotry.” I know this because there is no amount of money you could pay me to become a bigot. the democrats who do this agree to do it because they’re bigots

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

New Ryan Field is tremendous and uncanny and weird and the sightlines are all amazing. Playing "Chelsea Dagger" after touchdowns is a six-pack of ass because that song sucks and it's already associated with another team. Northwestern handling Rutgers without lifting a finger did feel fantastic.

NEW POST: Pat Fitzgerald and Northwestern Hurl Themselves Off The Reichenbach Falls Into a Giant Toilet. The operatic Omnirevenge Michigan State game is a dramatic morass of punts and fake punts, Schiano as the Piscataway Rasputin, another short story, and more

Matthew Yglesias continues to say that talking about ICE and excessive force in immigration enforcement helps Republicans. He is obviously wrong about this and refuses to acknowledge the data. Way past time for everyone to update their priors on this.

Pleased to report, after a couple listens (it always takes a couple listens) that The Avalanches, have, in fact, Done It Again™.

The bit where they sprinkle Suzanne Ciani singing a simple scale into the outro melody of "Our Love Is Alive" hits like a Mack truck.

Mainstream publications seeing polls of a +10 Dem generic ballot for the midterms and their initial impulse is to trot this goofy out there with the message of "whoa there partner take it easy".

This is the ninth (9th) major profile of Emanuel since December 2024 that failed to mention Laquan McDonald.

"The Jews who went to Mississippi didn't take selfies and post tweets." Okay, but honestly, if tweets had been a thing in 1961, many of them probably would have done.

Literally any single thing you propose to stop getting 90% of drivers to stop speeding like no one else in the world exists and they are the protagonists of reality on the way to defuse a bomb and get a pregnant woman to the hospital will have them cooking up bullshit about how speeding is safer.
