"Some of the most grievous charges ever leveled against a senior U.S. federal official..." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/b...

A former Miss Switzerland contestant has accused Donald Trump of raping her at the Plaza Hotel in 1993. Now House Judiciary Committee Democrats are calling for an independent special counsel to investigate allegations involving Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.

I would be shocked if he’s not charged multiple times, particularly if the Vanity Fair article is accurate. Just a cavalcade of corruption.

Poverty is a policy decision. Concentrated wealth is a policy decision. Inequality is a policy decision. Remember this.

Minnesota Republican State Auditor candidate Scott Jensen: "It's actually silly talk when someone says we should have an accountant be the state auditor"

Ossoff: "I encourage all of you to reach out to the Collins campaign to ask him how explains the continued production & dissemination of white nationalist and antisemitic propaganda from his property while he runs for the Senate. It's one of the most shocking developments in GA's political history"

Ossoff: "Mike Collins should explain his votes for the war, tariffs, and healthcare cuts, and he should come out and explain this morning's CNN report. If Mike Collins does not come out today and respond to this CNN reporting, then he is a coward." Here's the report: www.cnn.com/2026/10/23/p...

And so it begins. The Justice Department is suing Alaska election officials to block certification of November’s U.S. Senate race if incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan loses.

Instead of spending hundreds of billions of dollars on things that actually help our economy and improve our lives — like healthcare, housing, education — Trump and Republicans are spending it on cruelty, violence, and chaos. Remember this when you vote. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KpI5tg-U74

* TRUMP ON ACCESS TO STARLINK IN UKRAINE: MUSK WON'T DO ANYTHING WRONG @reuters.com

Q: Do you think it's right for the richest man in the world to have so much power over what goes on in a war because Russia and Ukraine? TRUMP: Well, I don't think he does. First of all, he's a very good person. He's not gonna do anything wrong. Elon will never do anything wrong.

CROWDSTRIKE CEO GEORGE KURTZ: WILL SEE A LOT OF BREACHES IN COMING MONTHS FROM PHP VULNERABILITY - CNBC INTERVIEW

Don't forget that nearly all Republicans in Congress stood by and supported Trump's... -Tax cuts for the rich -Cuts to the social safety net -Iran War -ICE abductions & National Guard deployments -Inflationary tariffs -Blatant corruption His unpopularity is theirs too — and the midterms are here.

Total respect for NBC's Monica Alba, who asked Trump exactly the question he needs to answer. By refusing to answer, and attacking her, he has effectively told the world that no, sexual abuse allegations do no mean a thing to him. Imagine if she wasn't there. We'd be the poorer for it.

MUST-WATCH: “Mike Rogers voted to send money to the Egyptian government RUN BY THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD.” @ayman.msnbc.com & @chrislhayes.bsky.social expose Mike Rogers’ hypocrisy, leveling racist attacks at @abdulelsayed.bsky.social & questioning his loyalty when in 2012 he defended sending them aid

Telling a woman to shut up when she’s asking about the attack ad you’ve backed calling a pedophilia victim a loser is like a turducken pf misogyny

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

The Trump administration’s top border official defended plans to build a wall and other infrastructure in Texas’ Big Bend region despite mounting opposition and a court-ordered construction pause. The administration has asked the Supreme Court to lift the halt and allow work to resume.

If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

Revelations about WH's involvement in Epstein memo in files pried loose by @democracydefendersfund.org lawsuit Trump was briefed his name was in the files--Weeks later his deputy chief of staff was editing the DOJ-FBI memo that declared the matter closed Patel sent the draft: "Here you go"👇 -TN

HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States. The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

Breaking: Trump just sued to block the certification of Alaska’s Senate race — but only if the Republican loses.

Trump has made more stock trades in his second term than all 535 members of Congress combined.

Oh look, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is exactly as corrupt as we all know he is. “More than $700 MILLION in transfers” — Saudi Arabia & UAE set up a multi-billion dollar slush fund for him. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

‘New data shows that this year, the average cost of a family health plan crossed $28,000, rising by 5%. The share coming out of employees’ paychecks shot up even faster—to $7,471, an increase of 9% from 2025.’ www.wsj.com/health/healt...

Remember when Trump claimed his cruel deportation agenda would help American workers? He couldn’t be more wrong. Watch.

"Trump has accused Democrats of threatening the country’s economy with socialism. Yet his administration has managed to wreck the country’s finances worse than any government in US history, without the excuse of an economic crisis or a successful major war." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

He’s Exhibit A on why billionaire wealth should be taxed, why we have to get big money out of politics, why billionaires shouldn’t be allowed to buy up major media, and why our government shouldn’t give them huge military contracts.

BREAKING: Citing noncompliance concerns and highlighting problems with the declaration submitted Monday, Judge Hinderaker orders *daily* reports that include a declaration from someone with "personal involvement" in effectuating the court's order to facilitate a deported gay man's return to the US.

Q: There's a report that FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Any reaction? OSSOFF: So the Trump administration is telling folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Jr & Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan?

Reporting traced the operation to a Wyoming LLC created just last month called “Texas Transgender Student Union.” Who is paying for it and who is behind it remain unknown. This deserves a thorough investigation. Voters deserve to know who is trying to manipulate them.

Phony mailers and text messages are reaching households, using a real advocacy group’s name and resources without its permission. The group, Transgender Education Network of Texas, says it didn’t send them and has faced harassment and threats of violence over the materials.

Trump: "We have been pretty happy with Russia that they have not gotten involved in Iran ... Russia and China have not participated or, participated in a much smaller way than they could have." (Both Russia and China have actively helped Iran fight America.)

it's honestly kind of amazing how Trump holds events like this one at the White House daily and almost every time nobody really knows what the point of them is. Why is this happening? Is there any purpose beyond the optics of looking busy?

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.
