I can't really believe it but it seems to be the case that the Times has not covered a credible accusation of rape against the President of the United States, but has two solid stories on Obama's cheesecake factory quip.

Again, he's describing his own fortunes here.

Trump: "When you say the last 7 months you've produced more oil, more everything, you've made more money than you have ever made. You know why? What happened 7 months ago? The war. Now, when I say it, they said, 'Oooooh, that's so terrible.' We're making an absolute fortune."

Despite the Christian Nationalist propaganda you were taught in schools, the Pilgrims didn't flee to America because they hated religious persecution--they just wanted to be ones who got to do it. It's an attitude still embraced by this country's conservative Christians. Glory!

Trump: "So I'm studying him. And I made the mistake of saying that I started off by studying his ass. I just wantasink. And then I looked at his feet & they were massive. I made the mistake of studying his anatomy. Maybe I should do that with Ken Paxton, but I'm not sure your body is gonna qualify."

NEW: There will be no ruling tonight on DOJ's TRO request in U.S. v. California — the Trump administration's case over allegations relating to "likely noncitizen" voting in California — but, after a three-hour hearing today, Judge Carter says a decision will come on Wednesday.

Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social

Carter, back on the bench, says there will be a ruling by tomorrow. "This court thinks it would be wise that any threats to state or local officials should cease immediately." "You'll hear from me tomorrow."

Ken Paxton, while trashing Talarico's Christianity, manages to mispronounce "Christianity" two different ways in the span of three seconds

ICE thugs are sending immigrants to countries that they have never been to, because there are orders by judges protecting them from being returned to their home country due to persecution. But these third party countries are sending them back to their home country, anyway. #ICELawlessness

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.

"I don't know the circumstances of the First Lady and Elon Musk, I don't know that there's ever been an allegation..." LOL, my brother in Christ, wait 'til you hear the big news.

GOP Rep. Randy Fine says he's been open to deporting Melania Trump and Elon Musk if it turns out they lied on their paperwork

In his (rather dubious) defense, Republican voters have shown him again and again that they love bigotry more than the constitution, the country, the troops, their jobs, drinking water, affordable food, their dignity, their own families, and even their own lives.

Trump is smearing Ilhan Omar in speeches all over the country now because he is an Islamophobic bigot and he thinks that’s a winning message for Republicans

So how did Lula come from behind to defeat Bolsonaro? In short, turnout. Bolsonaro's vote share barely moved. But Lula banked millions of votes from those who didn't vote in the first round & won eliminated candidates' votes. A remarkable mobilisation. Second round turnout is usually below first.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Tonight Students Saved Democracy in Serbia. 🇷🇸 They won the election. The Student List movement unites youth, academics, and civic voices across Serbia. Grounded in anti-corruption reforms, democratic integrity, transparent governance, this movement brings hope to many. Vučić conceded defeat!

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

The Trump administration is trying to block more than 20,000 ballots in California in the middle of an election, citing a list of “likely” noncitizens with no clear explanation of where it came from. On Sunday, a federal appeals court sounded deeply skeptical. Here’s what happened:

between serbia, brazil, and hopefully november 3, a good reminder: voting works it’s not the end, there’s always work to be done after the vote, but if you want to beat the motherfuckers and keep them out of power: vote your asses off
