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

Well of course. abovethelaw.com/2026/10/hous...

no surprise: Gitlin has been on the Tesla beat for long enough to know how to actually cover an event like this

This should be the lead story with a screaming headline on every news website: “Trump sides with Putin in Ukraine war.” “After a long, friendly chat during which Putin offered Trump a political lifeline, Trump called for Ukraine to surrender.”

Here's what W appointed judge Brian Cogan said about Cuni on August 26. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Here's what Trump judge Gary Brown said in a filing ON MONDAY about Brenan Cuni, who almost shot a kid in NYC. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Holy shit.

Judge Gary Brown, a Trump appointee in New York, rebukes ICE for arresting two people erroneously — including a U.S. citizen — and later claiming "mistaken identity." "ICE agents falsified official records," he says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Minnesota Republican House candidate William Beck: "Even Trump is saying 'don't touch Social Security,' but that would solve a lot of our problems"

Great ad.

The arguments you've heard against California's billionaire tax are utter BS. Here to debunk them — and explain why you should vote YES on Prop 40 — is renowned economist @gabrielzucman.bsky.social

If Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House then why can’t they issue $5000 checks now?

Thanks for posting this—-Everything is FUBAR (Educate on your quarterback) (Good luck Monday)

Houthis just filmed a warehouse full of US-made armor they took off Saudi-backed forces after Mocha fell. Shot on an iPhone. Such a damaging image! The coalition’s decade-long war in Yemen is ending in captured American equipment & open humiliation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This is an excellent article. Highly recommend.

#seahawks I think I speak for all Seahawks fans when we proudly award Vinod the right to wear the number 12 jersey!

“.. When asked later if JPMorgan sat on red flags in Epstein’s accounts, including the withdrawals, for years, Staley responded, “Seems like it.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

I'm sorry but it's clearly newsworthy that the President's decisions are being unduly influenced by a mentally unstable obsessive no one voted for who has attached themselves to him in an effort to live out weird fantasies they've had for decades. Something has to be done about Stephen Miller.

As you look at these comparisons, remember that Natalie Harp is just 9 years younger than Ivanka (35 and 44). And remember that Ivanka played this role in Trump 1.0.

President Trump says that the Democrats are the bad kind of communists, not the good kind of communists like those found in North Korea.

Susan Collins pulls into town in a bus full of her supporters; then they all get off the bus; and then she addresses the folks who were on the bus with her as if they were regular Mainers; and legacy media covers this, pretending it isn't deeply bizarre. (Notice the guys with cameras.) #MEpolitics

This is the sweet spot of @vermontgmg.bsky.social's expertise: Nixon-on-steroids levels of corruption, intersecting with presidential security.

Malinowski's analysis is correct.

We’re all getting screwed—Democrats and Republicans alike. The billionaires who run this country don’t care about your politics, they only care about their profits. They don’t see Red or Blue—they see Green. They see us as one opposing team. So we might as well act like one.

It has been legally adjudicated that Trump is a rapist. His first wife accused him of rape in divorce filings. He was caught on tape bragging about sexual assault. So we know was Republicans do with someone credibly accused of rape: They give him their utter devotion.

Located another patch of radicals near Seattle.

The silent agreement between the parties is to avoid actual issues that have supermajority consensus among voters and instead fight over wealth class-backed, think-tank designed wedge issues while corporate media communicates a 50/50 split, a need for moderation, and paints leftists as dangerous.

Absolutely 💯 “The best legacy we can leave our children isn't more infrastructure. It's healthier rivers, cleaner lakes, and protected aquifers.”

"There remain serious unresolved questions about potential criminal violations of the laws prohibiting political interference in the tax system that may have occurred in the development of the sweetheart deal..." taxlawcenter.org/blog/stateme...

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Bold move on the right, attacking German ancestry (45 million Americans in 2020) and Irish ancestry (38.6 million in 2020) and opposition to slavery, too! Helpful, though. Neatly encapsulates what the term "heritage Americans" is all about.

People potentially subject to the nyc pied-à-terre tax are being treated with 1% of the administrative hostility of SNAP and Medicaid applicants, and they’re throwing 100x the fit

It's noteworthy that the sticking point in getting Todd Blanche confirmed as AG involves financial corruption rather than Blanche refusing to release files about the sex trafficking of children by Trump's former friend. To Republicans, money is always more important than the welfare of children.

In which defense attorneys for the Olympic canoeist facing felony Reflecting Pool charges has to explain to newbie assistant U.S. attorney how 6(e) grand jury rules work!

Across a range of authoritarian regimes, challenges to information control provoke stronger reactions than economic, diplomatic, and military tools, write Scott Fisher, Graig Klein, Juris Pupcenoks, and Juste Codjo.

komonews.com/news/local/c... Wonder why Seattle did that?

‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens. Seattle WA - Two killed more injured in a mass shooting at the Bite of Seattle. Finally Seattle may get the recognition it deerves in The Onion.

Well, where is he? If he's dead, we should know this.

Has DOJ commented on the fact that it is 0-15 in cases it filed to obtain state voter file data?
