Data center group jumps into the Kansas governor’s race to boost Republicans - NBC News Earlier Monday, The New York Times reported that Building the Future is also set to spend about $1.5 million in advertising to boost GOP Sen. Darline Graham in the South Carolina Senate race.

This is 👀 “Kushner’s counsel, however, said Kushner did not make any agreements or arrangements with leaders or officials in foreign countries that were not agreed to by the President of the United States and in the best interests of the United States.”

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

Ohio: Oh yes, the Dem Gubernatorial candidate HAS TOO excelled despite a nightmarish childhood. MN: Oh yes, the Dem Senate candidate IS TOO really smart and always has been in spite of economic challenges. Who's next?

Growing body of evidence demonstrates that Trump was an active participant in Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women and "DOJ and FBI are doing everything they can to keep the American people in the dark about it." - House Judiciary Democrats democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Democrats call for special counsel to probe Trump's ties to Epstein

Even setting aside the two accusers whose stories are shakier, we have three strong and credible direct accusations. Then we have three more young women who have evidence of Trump participating in Epstein's trafficking ring.

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."

Not a big story, it's just the Attorney General working with an imprisoned pedophile to help cover up the pedophile President's crimes conducted with his best friend for 15 years, a pedophile who the President sent, as a birthday card, a drawing of a naked adolescent girl.

Seeing how little coverage that house report that added another rape accusation to Trump's tally got today, I looked back on just the front page Benghazi stories (there were many, many more inside over these months).

Again, people paying attention already knew this, and his cult members will never believe it no matter how much evidence is produced.

Reporting on Keul's account: newrepublic.com/post/217159/...

Evidence "shows that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club," according to a new report from the House Judiciary Dem staff. The report also reveals for the first time Beatrice Keul's account of allegedly having been raped by Trump. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

That’s *without* factoring in everything we know about Trump’s character that might affect our judgment of how plausible it is that he’d be guilty of that sort of behavior.

…the odds of 25 independent sexual assault allegations all being false is about 1 in 105 sextillion.

But culturally, they need a world in which sexual assault claims are presumptively false. Because if you acknowledge that the great majority are true, it becomes pretty much impossible to maintain that the dozens of accusations against Trump are all fabrications.

It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.

🚨 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.

Julie K. Brown at the Miami Herald is still doing the heavy lifting on keeping the story alive. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

People Magazine has it! people.com/former-miss-...

Homepage of the @miamiherald.com with story by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social that mentions rape in the first paragraph. See, it's not so fucking hard. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

The NYT story does not even include the word rape. Not once.

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.

He is so close to getting it

This is a man who knowingly took up Nazi rhetoric to gin up the hatred behind an ongoing ethnic cleansing of Haitian refugees from his own state.

Ukraine is taking back territory, and Trump is trying to bail out Putin — the one assignment he has always taken seriously. (Note: this essay by Phillips O'Brien is from last week. See his page for this week's update as well) phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/weekend-up...

This is a conversation that I shared with Dr. Amy Acton last November. @amyactonoh.bsky.social snyder.substack.com/p/conversati...

Ohio's Dem candidate for Governor, Amy Acton's estranged mother, Donna Arthur, has STAR written all over her haggard old Trump-doppelganger lookin' face. #AmyActon #DonaldTrump

Glorious

Fascinating and horrifying: "t’s a classic authoritarian move, too, to kind of just run roughshod over every moral guardrail that’s out there. So once you get people desensitized, right, there really is no limits, right? Anything is on the table, every tactic is justifiable."

like I said, Vance is the big loser of 2026: www.contrariannews.org/p/who-has-al...

I honestly don’t get what Newsom thinks his future in the party is. Between this and Paramount merger he’s just not close to where Dem primary voters are

Brutal 9thC: The United States’s claimed emergency, at least in part, is a self-constructed one. At least part of the delay here is attributable to the United States’s own delay in filing suit, in realizing that existing California state law governs the issuance and processing of ballots....

Now THAT's talking like a Speaker

🚨 Gov. Josh Shapiro rips into JD Vance in a new interview. “The only smart thing it seems like [Trump] did was not endorsing Vance. That guy is just a profoundly and PATHETICALLY WEAK human being who wants to preach morality every day.”

Trump in Mississippi: "I'm here because Cindy is doing great" (He's there because Cindy is not doing great)

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

Trump is a known, convicted sexual predator Trump is a conman, who has bankrupted 2 casinos & several of his own businesses Trump is dumb, incurious & does not understand economics or foreign policy except for Putin’s whims I cannot believe we did this again VOTE & decapitate his current power

El-Sayed: This is like the 3rd campaign stop where Donald Trump can't help but mention somebody's ass. When I get to DC, I'm just gonna make sure that I never let him see mine…

lol, ok

A Russian officer now fights alongside Ukraine’s forces after helping kill 300 former comrades. 26-year-old Lt. Stupnikov became one of Kyiv’s most valuable informants, supplying coordinates, radio frequencies & troop movements helping Ukraine obliterate Russian units. www.wsj.com/world/russia...

So, we're going to tolerate naked bigotry from the Regime at what is clearly a campaign event? This is where the news media is at, "The Republicans can just be open bigots and it's okay"

Every word of this by @jamellebouie.net 

She wants to know what Biden did for farmers? 🤔

I dont know if it's because they love republicans and want them to win but holy crap is this an embarrassment. the equivalent of reckless disregard in terms of journalism fuck ups. Just the simplest damn googling.
