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.

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.

Trump never won Minnesota. 2016: Clinton 46.4%, Trump 44.9% 2020: Biden 52.4%, Trump 45.3% 2024: Harris 50.9%, Trump 46.7%

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

Seven highlights from the House Judiciary Committee's jaw-dropping new report on Trump's sexual depredations, including a very detailed account of a new rape Trump committed in the Plaza Hotel in Atlantic City.

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.

Make the time to watch this. And share it.

2+2 = 4.

This is what Trump is doing to the People's House.

Hey Alaska, how does it feel to learn that Russia is going to be drilling for oil in your state in a $25 billion shady deal that appears to connect back to the Trumps? united24media.com/world/sancti...

Obama: "Somehow deficits only matter when a Democratic president is in office"

The gold doesn't even match, making it look even more tacky.

"[Donald Trump] has got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory." --Barack Obama

Obama argues that we won’t fix our political problems unless we rediscover our moral compass first

We need to Streisand effect that Musk movie into wide popularity and make sure everyone knows about and sees it.

“How much time do you think this defense secretary spends looking in the mirror in the morning? These are not serious people” — Obama’s audience in Ohio is hanging on every word as he skewers Trump and Hegseth

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

Trump is literally killing Americans—you!—to increase profits for his corporate cronies. Putting greed—not America—first and making Americans gasp (for clean air) again. Good work, NYT.

Do we still call this “draining the swamp?”👇

Somalian. He's Somalian. www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

Something is off with Trump tonight. The gaffes, the glitches, the confusion are well beyond his usual. "They gave the wonderful peace prize, right? Does anybody know the name of that peace prize? They gave the Pulitzer Prize to a young lady."

988,000 people bought into Trump’s crypto scam. Maybe start there.

Mother knows best!

Not going to lie - this one hurts. I was actually talking to someone about this over dinner tonight and predicted the opposite. You don't need a lot of people to be pro-Trump to cause an increase in Donalds. But not even that. Now, I realize our tribe is dying because of one shitheel.

Here’s why Trump ordered Zuckerberg to shut down Instagram’s #NoKings page today.

Four sources identify Elon Musk as personally proposing Starshield restrictions to Trump, while three officials trace the order to the White House. Ukraine received no warning. Its interceptor drones were disrupted as Russia launched hundreds of drones and dozens of ballistic missiles.

🚨 Fox Biz on latest bad inflation data: "I'm going to break in. We are getting hot hot hot PPI. Our month over month headline numbers are 1.3% vs. estimates of %0.5... a huge jump...this looks like a huge advancement, much higher than expected...diesel feeds through to every corner of this economy"

Mispronouncing “cognitive” while bragging about acing a cognitive test is hall of fame stupid.

Periodic reminder that the biggest scandal in American history outside of Watergate involved a grand total of $9 million (inflation adjusted) changing hands & it resulted in resignations, convictions, jail time, and new legislation, and in the Trump administration that amount is a rounding error

Bloomberg:Career staff at CFTC concluded there was ample evidence to suggest that massive insider trading occurred on commodities transactions around specific points during the Iran War, and they referred the matter for enforcement. Then political appointees demanded that they retract the referrals.

Sigh. Diesel prices still going up ... meaning so is pretty much everything else.

Trump is taking bribes in thousands of different ways. Despite great reporting we still only know a tiny percentage of it.

The push alerts we received from multiple major news channels assured us there was an energy ceasefire. Surely they wouldn’t fall for Trump’s lies this easily.

Trump openly lies that there is an "Energy Ceasefire" between Russia & Ukraine. Ukrainian officials told FT: “Just now our repair teams are restoring electricity and water supplies in Kyiv [after Russian strikes moments ago]” “Nobody has heard [of the ceasefire].”

Still nothing yet from Darlene Graham about Trump pissing on the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanction Act.

Trump blames Zelenskyy for not surrendering to Russia two years ago, claiming Ukraine could have secured “a better deal”, before praising Putin: “President Putin would like to see a settlement, strongly, and look, he’s freeing up a lot of oil, a good thing! And by the way, at a very low price.”

At this point, there is no ambiguity about what just happened: Trump has stabbed the Ukrainian nation in the back in exchange for a shipment of diesel that would be a roughly 17 hour supply for the US market. It shows how easily Trump is manipulated by Putin, Xi and other dangerous dictators.

I've got something I need to get off my chest!

Nailed it. 🔨

Hey look, more blatant corruption. I’m shocked, shocked I tell you.

You can’t eat road salt.

so the president told iran to “take out” San Diego or Los Angeles because it’s “a small price to pay” for war like… we’re just gonna do nothing about this?
