You can't expect the New York Times to give any attention to a story about the president being credibly accused of violent rape when the story breaks so close to an election. It's not like we're talking about something *really* important, like email security protocols.

YIKES! It seems @justinjpearson.bsky.social’s TN-9 opponent state senator Brent Taylor has a history of sending unsolicited nude pics to people who are not his wife. (No wonder Trump wants him in congress) www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithint...

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.

In other words, Trump invaded Venezuela, killed about 100 people, installed a member of the dictatorship as the new puppet leader, and stole the country's oil.

Good follows for Israeli election returns?

Entirety of corp media allowed team Trump to wave away Russia scandal (it is *ongoing* fucking scandal of epic proportions), Epstein & January 6th. But they still harp on non-scandals if of Dem variety to make sure crimes we witness on the daily don’t get too much voter consideration. Fuckers, all.

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...

Oh he answered that last year: their official editorial policy is “publish work that challenges our audience’s assumptions” (code for “we hate our liberal readers”) bsky.app/profile/katz...

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Off the charts Trump family corruption. Kushner got Billions of foreign funds, while spearheading foreign policy. And the Hunter Biden hunters are silent. @MarshaBlackburn

A good summary of the House Judiciary Dems' 50-p report on Trump's history as a violent sexual predator, including a well vetted, under-oath account from Beatrice Keul of how Trump raped her in an Atlantic City hotel room in 1993, after the pair were introduced to one another by Jeffrey Epstein.

Don’t worry.

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

House Dems Report: “A growing body of evidence demonstrates Trump was an active participant in Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the 1990s. The DOJ & FBI are doing everything they can to keep the 🇺🇸 people in the dark about it.” The report: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Ding ding fucking ding.

Kushner took a $50 mn bribe from the Emiratis to orchestrate the firing of Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, according to Matt Cole's new book, Princes and Thieves, out today. To be clear, this is a serious felony, if true.

“[S]houldn’t have to be here” is what makes media acceptance of GOP tactics so outrageous. Half of Americans shouldn’t have to rely on dozens of lawsuits to establish what is plainly written into fed & state laws & backed by judicial precedent MAGA now targets for destruction. It ain’t “both sides.

As someone else said, in a truly free and fair election, no one has to panic about having a “plan” to vote. You just vote.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...

OBAMA: When I was president, all these Republicans are all deficits, deficits, debt, debt. You got to do something about it. And now—$40 trillion—Crickets. Somehow deficits only matter when a Democratic president is in office

Democracy is glorious. Messy ‘ she’ll break your heart, but, damn, moments like these remind: she’s glorious.

Mike Rogers got caught on a hot mic planning voter suppression, and Abdul El-Sayed called it out on the debate stage:

This seems like a big deal

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

interestingly this interest in black voters doesn’t extend to the republican effort to deprive them of federal representation, nor do they seem interested in asking whether republican candidates are burdened by the fact that trump talks like a klansman

GOP does nothing but gin up culture wars. Meanwhile: — GOP slashed SNAP benefits to 5+ million Americans, forcing them to turn to food banks. — Trump's tariffs and war spurred inflation, making it more expensive to eat at The Cheesecake Factory. Prices are now ~13% higher than when he took office.

Really tired of the guys betraying America to Vladimir Putin trying to explain how various other Americans aren’t loyal to the country

"In total, since taking office again, Mr. Trump exempted 202 facilities in 39 states & Puerto Rico from clean-air regulations that were going into effect. Some were among the country’s worst industrial polluters, including chemical manufacturers, copper smelters & coal-burning power plants." MAHA!

First off, thanks to the NY Times for writing a story about Trump weaponizing the Justice Department to assault our election system. Secondly, why can’t NYT say things more directly? Do normal people know what “unmediated executive power” means? Please stop writing in code.

Another death inside of Trump's concentration camps, this time in Folkston, Georgia. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Revelations about WH's involvement in Epstein memo in files pried loose by @democracydefendersfund.org lawsuit Trump was briefed his name was in the files--Weeks later his deputy chief of staff was editing the DOJ-FBI memo that declared the matter closed Patel sent the draft: "Here you go"👇 -TN

A propos of nothing, Marco Rubio sickens me.

Current times make it difficult to assess how to appropriately allocate one’s contempt and hatred. I don’t feel Blanche gets his fair share. We should remedy that.

An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election. This is a textbook example of voter fraud.

So witkoff/kushner toadie sell out negotiations involves cutting Russian companies in on US energy deals? Are we giving Alaska back to Russia?

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

Much of What Democrats Must Do boils down to valuing the good faith opinions of millions of Americans who vote for them more than bad faith opinions in media. They’ll call truth and justice “weaponization.” They’ll say voters don’t want accountability. They’re wrong, and Dems don’t have to listen.

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

Absolutely 👇

Well, that is surely a sign that good governance and fufilling their oaths of office is a top priority for this crew of pirates.
