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...

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...

"Guys like Obama don't see it. They don't see dirt, they don't see filth. He doesn't see broken ornaments...The White House, President Obama is a symbol of America. It has to be clean." Feels like the focus on hygiene and cleanliness might be standing in for something here!

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...

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

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.

In case facts still matter

"The Cuban regime has stifled any viable domestic opposition. But the withering of the state—a process that has been under way for decades—has accelerated, and is shocking to see up close" From Robert Worth, @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Franklin D. Roosevelt: "The only thing we have to fear is, fear itself." John F. Kennedy: "Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country." Donald Trump: “I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before: Nicki Minaj. That's hard to miss."

The soaring costs of public universities is a political decision. When these schools predominantly served white students, they tended to be free (UC, CCNY, etc.) But as the number of students of color has increased, funding for the public universities has decreased. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/b...

NEW: Elon Musk gave his super PAC $76 million in just two weeks of October, and more than half of its new candidate spending went to one race: the Texas Senate fight against James Talarico. He’s now given more than $445 million this cycle, far more than he spent electing Trump.

"Bottom line: Democrats are delusional if they continue to believe good policy is sufficient to win elections. Republicans correctly realize good policies and effective governance are not even necessary to win." @schaller67.bsky.social | @atrupar.com in a zinger Public Notice.

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

Ethnic cleansing in broad daylight

Hegseth’s staff broke Eisenhower’s globe. The symbolism is too much to bear. (And of course, they ignored the TRAINED EXPERTS WHO HANDLE HISTORICAL ITEMS. Because EDUCATION? EXPERTISE? WHO NEEDS IT?….im going to get some coffee…)

Top officials in the State Department made clear that only candidates who voted for Trump would be eligible for the mid-to-upper level foreign service roles Federal law strictly prohibits making civil service personnel decisions on the basis of political affiliation

In Alabama's 2nd congressional district, heavily redistricted post-Callais decision, MAGA candidate Rhett Marques ran away from our questions on gerrymandering We met residents fighting for access to basic sanitation & spent time with Democratic incumbent Shomari Figures fighting to hold his seat:

the routine, pay for play pardons are all by themselves one of the worst corruption scandals in american history!

tbf everyone feels this way whenever jd vance starts talking lol

Increasing sexual disinhibition is a symptom of some forms of dementia

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

this is like a reverse "daisy." an ad so reprehensible that it detonates the candidate's campaign. tiffinohio.net/posts/acton-...

So many choices. “A young man.” OR “A longtime Republican operative” “A former aide to Republican Senator Josh Hawley” “A young man with deep ties to Republican candidates” But, “a young man.” We see you @wsj.com.

The obsession with keeping Black kids out of quality schools is really something else.

So I guess Trump’s strategy for MI voters is just to keep calling El-Sayed “Mohammed” since he believes there are enough racists and Islamophobes in Michigan to win that way despite his policies hurting them.

Horrific.

We are sensing a pattern

The Mississippi AG says police are justified for killing a baby because someone thought his mother shoplifted diapers that she paid for. The police have refused to release body cam footage. Fuck everything about this story.

Shooting at a car to stop a shoplifter is not justified. Even if no one was harmed, let alone shooting to death a 1 year-old baby.

wow -- a protester directly behind Vance gets up and yells "release the Epstein files!" Vance suggest he's an illegal immigrant.

7th person dead in ICE custody this year in Texas alone: "His daughter said her dad had a heart condition, diabetes and high blood pressure. He had medicine with him when he was detained, but she said staff at the center wouldn’t 'give him his medications'...” www.texastribune.org/2026/10/18/m...

Americans, please don’t worry about your child coming home from school a different sex. Worry about your child not coming home from school because they were shot to death.

I continue to never regret voting for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.

A Scaramucci is ten days (july 21-31). Zacharia was appointed on Oct 9 and lasted till October 16. So a Zacharia is seven days, or 7/10ths of a Scaramucci.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

JD Vance running around the country saying he’s fighting health care fraud while his nominee for the senate in TX who he completely supports is partying in Dubai with a guy whole stole over $300 million in health care fraud and gave Paxton $190,000. This is the Republican Party.

We're at the "torturing my enemies" part of the authoritarian takeover of America, if anyone's keeping score.

just a casual reminder that inciting violence against his political opponents and others he dislikes has been a core feature of Donald Trump's approach for more than a decade. It is a defining characteristic of Trump and his movement, but rarely centered as such by corporate media.

After years of championing "free speech," Texas lawmakers have enabled a dramatic rise of censorship in Texas universities, banning concepts, canceling courses and closing departments seen as "woke," and even using AI bots as censors. All in the name of freedom. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

18% of voters pick 52 senators. Democrats won 7 of the last 9 presidential popular votes yet hold just 3 SCOTUS seats. Republicans have a tilted House map and a huge cash advantage, and they STILL want to suppress votes. Imagine having the casino rigged and being afraid to deal the cards.

I think people should listen to what the administration trying to bring back spectacle lynchings, race riots, and middle passage-esque deportation voyages are trying to tell you about themselves. bsky.app/profile/bren...

This thing has made me go do a lot of reading tonight, and the Wikipedia page about the last public execution in the United States is well-written. It was Rainey Bethea, a Black man hanged in front of a crowd of 20,000 in 1936, a spectacle which embarrassed Kentucky enough that they ended hangings.

It's never been about class. It's race. Period.

The pro-lifers are livestreaming a public execution.

They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.
