Colorado’s most popular Halloween costume this year? The Governor of Colorado. My favorite part of the fit is the Colorado tie. It could be at your local Spirit Halloween.

Not a big story, it's just the Attorney General working with an imprisoned pedophile to help cover up the pedophile President's crimes conducted with his best friend for 15 years, a pedophile who the President sent, as a birthday card, a drawing of a naked adolescent girl.

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

I get they're inextricably intertwined but I kind of feel like leaning so much into how he was the longtime best buddy of the world's most notorious sex criminal has given it something of the feel of a political gotcha rather than the important part, which is that the president raped people.

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

In other countries, there’s a very strong relationship between public protests and voting. My exasperation is that it doesn’t seem to carry through here, especially among the young.

So no connection between protests and voter behavior? Really? Seriously?

I don’t think we should get used to a man this wealthy, this full of hate and this willing to demonize a small minority having so much power in our economy and in our politics. To defend democracy, we must defeat the oligarchs.

I did not intend to take anything away from the student protesters in Serbia - who were brave...and *organized.* But far more important is that the protests were accompanied by grassroots organizing and *voting in large numbers* Brazil, Hungary, Poland, Serbia... Voting, in a coalition. #Lessons

In Iowa, the Republican gubernatorial candidate actually lives in Kansas and appears to be fully financially dependent on his wife's family (she's from the Koch Brothers family), while his lieutenant governor candidate is fully dependent on his parents, who are suing hm for $275,000 in unpaid rent.

The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves with these lies in service of an unconstitutional war that Congressional Republicans have let happen by abdicating their Article I powers.

TRUMP: “We didn’t start the war with Iran." LIAR! You illegally started the war on February 28 by assassinating Iran's Supreme Leader without Congressional approval. You even gave it a name: Operation Epic Fury. You said it would take 4–6 weeks. It’s been 8 months.

Think protests and voting don't matter? Serbia proves otherwise. After nearly 2 years of student-led protests, voters defeated the party that ruled for 14 years. Democracy changes when people refuse to surrender. America, take note! 🇺🇸✊

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.
