Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

ms.nowHouse Judiciary Democrats release 50-page report on Trump’s alleged involvement in Epstein filesThe report — issued just eight days before the election — makes multiple, uncorroborated allegations against the president while also detailing discrepancies in his statements about Epstein.

Trump on Canada: "I promised them if they become the 51st state, I said, 'I will let you keep ice hockey and I will let you keep your O Canada national anthem.'"

The committee botched the last election and if Harris runs again, they will fail again. Voters have lost confidence in the party’s ability to win presidential and congressional elections. We shouldn’t have to depend on a catastrophic presidential failure to succeed.

The Democratic National Committee said Thursday that it raised more than $10 million from grassroots donors in September, a late surge of money for the cash-strapped party with the midterm elections weeks away. https://to.pbs.org/4dEWhnl

This is what fascism looks like.

Bust up big corporations and tackle Wall Street’s greed. Get big money out of politics. Strengthen unions and boost wages. Pass Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare, and so much more... This is the agenda Democrats need to fight for. It's not enough to simply be anti-Trump.

Joe Biden stands for hours & is fully engaged in the Ground Zero Memorial today, after completing chemotherapy for Stage 4 prostate cancer. Conversely, Trump repeatedly falls asleep during the Pentagon Memorial Service. Tell us who is an alpha male & fit to serve www.irishstar.com/news/politic...

Fetterman can’t figure out why Dems who worked hard to drag his ass across the finish line in 2022 when he was medically incapable of doing anything feel betrayed when he trashes us on Fox/Newsmax every day because we don’t agree with him that Netanyahu should get a blank check.

How about: Lake Huron the Epstein list

PBS News@pbsnews.org

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday renaming Lake Ontario as Lake America. The move is part of his escalating trade war with Canada. It requires federal entities to recognize the new designation, but it does not mean other countries have to do so.

The US betrays South Korea, openly favours North Korea. Trump cites that South Korea didn't help him attack Iran and that he has a "good relationship" with the North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Trump's support for North Korea comes after DPRK sent Troops to fight Ukraine.

Huffington Post: Trump administration is proposing to declare trumpets, tubas, trombones and French horns national security threats. It wants to add “brass-wind musical instruments and their parts and accessories” to a list of imports subject to Section 232 national security tariffs.

The so-called ceasefire was, in significant part, an attempt by Trump to 1) avoid a War Powers Act vote and 2) game the markets some more. Republicans in Congress let Trump get these people killed.

Dear media, You don't have to say "E Jean Carroll accused Trump of defamation and rape." You can say "Trump defamed and raped E Jean Carroll." It's been adjudicated. Thank you

Buttigieg: We gotta get out there and build that new governing vision, not by preaching to the choir, not by only talking to everyone who already agrees with us, but by finding the people who haven’t always voted our way and changing how they see us by showing that we see them.

By the numbers, Clarence Thomas has been treated to: • At least 38 destination vacations; • 26 private jet flights; • 12 VIP passes to pro & college sporting events; • 2 stays at luxury resorts; • 1 standing invite to an uber-exclusive golf club (Published 2023)

propublica.orgClarence Thomas’ 38 Vacations: The Other Billionaires Who Have Treated the Supreme Court Justice to Luxury TravelThe fullest accounting yet shows how Thomas has secretly reaped the benefits from a network of wealthy and well-connected patrons that is far more extensive than previously understood.

And it’s not possible for Trump to do this without the languishing Democratic Party, who won’t get more people registered and won’t put up congressional candidates who are electable.

It is not possible for Trump to do most of this madness without the cheerleading and/or acquiescence of Republicans in Congress. We must vote as many of them out of office as we can. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is Mike Johnson's war as much as Trump's. He's intentionally crippled Congress to allow a mentally unhinged president to wage an illegal war, killing thousands and sabotaging the global economy.

“Praying…”

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Sen. Ron Johnson: "I am hoping and praying that President Trump is, that this really is bluster. I do not want to see us start blowing up civilian infrastructure. I do not want to see that. We are not at war with the Iranian people. We are trying to liberate them."

If you haven’t watched the play, “Hamilton”, see Jonathan Groff play mad King George III. It doesn’t end well.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

Congress is responsible for all of this and more.

G Elliott Morris@gelliottmorris.com

Trump's posts on Iran have gotten progressively worse over the last week (and that's really saying something), from "see you in hell" to "a whole civilization will die tonight." Where are Republicans in Congress? The simplest approx is that they are staying silent because they support this

Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Replying to @markjacob.bsky.social

The White House Correspondents Dinner has always made DC journalists look bad by showing them partying with people they're supposed to be covering. The 2026 event later this month will be even more embarrassing because of the planned attendance of Trump, who aims to destroy freedom of the press.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

Where are the Epstein files?
