1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

Q: Why did you make no mention of the sexual allegations of sexual abuse Amy Acton made about her stepfather who stayed married to her mother? Trump: The mother said she was a dirty liar. I don't know why you are not allowed to say that. That one ad should really win. I say that she's fair game

Dan Froomkin/Press Watch/Heads Up News@froomkin.bsky.social

Please do not describe it as an "attack ad" in which Acton's "estranged mother" "calls her a liar." It's a "taboo-breaking ad accusing Acton of lying about being raped as as child"

I don't know how CBS News can claim it's a nonpartisan news outlet when a prominent CBS correspondent like Jan Crawford goes after Abdul El-Sayed in such a ridiculous manner. Of course, Crawford attended the CBS owners' dinner in honor of Trump, so her MAGA leanings were already well established.

School shootings are normal for millennials. We were in middle/high school in 1999 when Columbine taught us we weren’t safe from gun violence at school. In 2004, we watched Republicans giddily allow Clinton’s 1994 assault weapons ban expire—noted by the red line, below. 22 yrs later, here we are.

After years of warnings that the war in Ukraine could spiral into a full-on Russia-Europe conflagration, the conflict has reached a point where this is a real possibliity. It’s a prospect that threatens not just European lives but the entire globe.

This proves only two things. The Ukrainian campaign against Russian refineries is causing serious damage. Putin has asked Trump to help him out and the US president obliged.

Amanda Marcotte@amandamarcotte.bsky.social

It was hard, especially as a survivor, but I dug through the court documents and the right-wing reaction to the Cornell case. What I've learned is the backlash to #MeToo did its job, reinscribing hatred of survivors. We need more #MeToo, not less. www.salon.com/2026/10/02/c...

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

Farmers got to be loving Trump! Fertilizer prices rising. Diesel prices, the likes of which nobody has seen before. Tariff war cutting demand for US crops. But don’t worry, that $5k check is “in the mail” after you don’t mail in your vote!

Charlie Sykes writing as clear and concise as possible (yet the deluded will remain so): “As journalist Tommy Christopher notes: ‘This year marks 25 years since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, as well as 25 years of Trump lying, misleading, or just plain being weird about the attacks.’”
