MOTHER JONES: “THEY WENT TO JARED… Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner used his position to hop in bed with autocrats and sell out America.”

🚨 A bombshell new House Judiciary Democrats report details allegations from 11 women linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, including five who accuse Trump of sexual assault.
The report also alleges a sweeping DOJ cover-up.
We broke down the explosive findings.
The allegations against Donald Trump for sexual assault seem to have a common denominator: He is physically violent and intentionally inflicts pain on his victims. He likes to slam women and girls up against doors and walls as he roughly manhandles them. Donald Trump is a sick and twisted person.
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.
60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office.
Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term.
Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?
NEW: A Florida cybersecurity company promised to help clients recover data from ransomware attackers.
In a 2019 story, we found the company was making secret payments to hackers and pocketing hefty fees from clients.
The CEO was just indicted for fraud.
1. A group formed last week called “Progressive Alliance of Wisconsin” is attacking David Crowley, the state’s Democratic nominee for governor, with hundreds of thousands in attack mailers.

Attn: USPS changes mean your ballot may not be postmarked the same day you mail it. Don’t wait until Election Day! Deadlines vary by state. Some require ballots to ARRIVE by Election Day, not just be postmarked.
West Virginia has been part of a nationwide push, partially funded by billionaire-backed political groups, to use taxpayer dollars to fund private schools.
Among the proponents are the Koch family network and Pennsylvania billionaire Jeffrey Yass.
No, they were middle-aged men wearing powdered wigs, elaborately embroidered hostess jackets, silk hose, and shoes with enormous buckles and substantial heels.
In other words, our Constitution was written and signed by drag queens.
NEW: Brent Taylor is the front-runner for one of Memphis’ congressional districts, recently redrawn from majority Black to majority white.

⚠️Meta’s alleged interference in Brazil’s election is a warning for democracy everywhere—including the USA.
If platforms can shape political visibility in Brazil, they can do it anywhere.

Lonnie Rouse worked at the Hanford nuclear site for nearly 20 years. It was so toxic, he said, that the floor once melted the rubber off his boots.
Now he needs 24-hour care. The DOE has appealed his workers’ compensation claim more than 20 times.
Just to be clear...
Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax.
It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025.
California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax.
The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians.
Vote YES.

In August, President Trump announced he had signed the “biggest oil deal in world history.”
ProPublica reviewed the deal and found it gives a small group of people largely handpicked by the Trump administration long-term control of the enterprise.
Barack Obama just endorsed Angie Nixon for U.S. Senate!
She may not have the full backing of the Democratic establishment, but she’s building support from the biggest names in the party.
LFG! 🔥
Here are the sponsors behind the disgusting ad from Vivek Ramaswampy attacking Amy Acton and mocking her childhood sexual abuse. Let them know what you think!

When more than $20 million of defense contractor Navatek’s priorities made its way into the defense budget, CEO Martin Kao seemed to thank Susan Collins for making it happen.
And it appeared he was keen to return the favor.
Listen to this excerpt ⤵️
🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”
Three days after the August primary, election workers in one Washington county went to check for late mail-in ballots.
They expected no more than a few dozen. Instead, there were more than 500 — each a vote that wouldn’t count.

We’ve reported on how easily people have founded their own private schools in barns, strip malls and other places.
That led us to an experiment: If the hurdles to open a school were so low, could we do it? And what would we learn along the way?
Well, well, well….
An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election.
This is what voter fraud looks like.
The Trump administration has signed an oil deal with a Venezuelan energy baron who has faced money-laundering investigations in three countries.
ProPublica reviewed a copy of the 18-page agreement.
A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE
