The president has raped so many people that we have a pretty good sense of his MO. Maybe we should think about that.

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

Like most Pennsylvanians, Saddiaha doesn’t want extreme politicians making medical decisions for her. PA Democrats have fought to make bodily autonomy a fundamental right, while Republicans in Harrisburg push for extreme abortion bans without exception.

We are in utterly unknown territory now. The sea surface temperature in the El Niño zone is currently tracking at 3.48°C ABOVE the 30 year baseline. Way beyond anything seen before. Brace for catastrophic impact on lives and global food supply chains.

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.

Ash Puri puts more of his imprint on St. Joe's and its alumni base: Phil Martelli will be inducted into the school's Athletics Hall of Fame "later this year," the program announced just now.

These accusations are wild. If true, yeah, major felony. If false, hoo boy, potentially major defamation claim.

CDC Deputy Director Dr. Jennifer Shuford is leaving after 6 months in the position. One person said it’s a family issue. Another said it’s because she disagrees with RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine actions. My guess is that something terrible prompted this and we’ll find out what after the election.

ONE WEEK left, folks! I need you to vote early and get every voter you know to the polls. Call them. Offer a ride. Don’t assume they’ve voted. Early voting ends Friday, Oct. 30. Check when and where: mvp.sos.ga.gov We can win this together!

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

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...

ONE WEEK OUT — and Democrats have the wind at their backs. Both parties now expect a Democratic House. The Senate is still a knife fight. The stunning part: Dems now think they could lose as few as ONE House incumbent. But momentum means nothing if we stay home. Vote early. Donate. Volunteer. 💙

Much easier for the media to lock in on faux Cheesecake Factory outrage than a House Dem report indicating Todd Blanche basically told Ghislaine Maxwell "stop talking" when she was about to discuss a girl that could more closely tie Trump to Epstein

“Get your brains together, get educated and get a trade.” The Greatest —MUHAMMAD ALI — tells Dick Cavett in 1974 that he & Joe Frazier were special, rare, but the way to really ‘win’ is to get learning and get a career.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Democrats laying the groundwork for real opposition, with Congress asserting budget authority to stand against Trump abuses and rights violations. Will have to overcome cries that not passing Trump's budget is irresponsible. But it's the opposite. And starting now makes that hurdle easier to clear.

NEWS --> Dems are planning novel ways to wield power of the purse against Trump's corrupt prosecutions of critics like Ilhan Omar if they win House. Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin tell me a range of aggressive tactics will be deployed. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

Blanche alone needs to be in the cross hairs of Congressional investigations...he is doing what Bondi would not and completely eroding trust/legitimacy in the Law across the country...

“The Department of Justice is putting its formidable thumb on next week’s elections in a way that seems clearly intended to call into question the legitimacy of any result that is especially unfavorable to Republicans—before those results have even come in.” Me on DOJ’s California and Alaska suits:

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.

We published this story late Friday afternoon amid an avalanche of news so I’m reposting it now because Kohen Wiley’s life mattered more than a box of diapers.

So @lilianasegura.bsky.social and I just co-wrote a piece about the bodycam footage in the Kohan Wiley case. theintercept.com/2026/10/23/k...

So how long before Bolsonaro calls his buddy wannabe #Kingtrump asking him to kidnap Lula and install himself as ruler of Brazil? We all know tr**p is not happy about these election results. We saw what happened in Venezuela and what they are threatening in Cuba, so not that much of a stretch.

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.

Trump said Nicki Minaj has “one hell of a beautiful ass”. I would like to ask female voters how they feel about Republican sexual objectification, is this is sexual harassment?
