I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

We all know he is a rapist. Found guilty of sexual assault. A beloved associate of Epstein. Multiple women publicly claim assault as minors. MAGA and the Republican Party *doesn't Care*. Just as long as tax cuts, deregulation and friendly judges are appointed. That's all the GOP's Paymasters want.

Donald Trump Jr. spent time hunting in Mongolia this summer with Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev. ​Reports reveal that Trump Jr. arrived in Mongolia in late August, where he was joined by Kremlev and oligarch Artur Martirosov, who flew in from Kazakhstan. The group spent two

A win for voters! A federal appeals court has denied the Trump administration’s request to stop California from counting mail-in ballots from more than 20,000 registered voters it claims are “likely not U.S. citizens”. The challenge was rejected because the underlying data is incorrect and flawed.

Correction. Western countries are racist as shit and Kennedy is a liar, too. bsky.app/profile/brut...

The ties between Trump and Putin are getting more and more

🚨 Earlier this month, we witnessed ICE agents violently detain a U.S. citizen in North Long Beach. What they did was horrifying, wrong, and put everyone in danger. Oversight Dems are demanding answers. We will not tolerate this violence on our streets.

Stella Carlson was a witness to the killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Accountability is coming. Abolish #ICE

while Republicans are out here defending the honor of Cheesecake Factory, let's take a moment to remember how they're actually spending their time--and our money 👇🏾 ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

"Not many who stand next to Trump walk away with their dignity intact. Smart people avoid it altogether." - Me, in @commonweal back in April (www.commonwealmagazine.org/leo-trump-wa...) I tried to warn your excellencies!

(Sorry, I flubbed the @commonwealmagazine.org tag) Now I want to know: did the Heritage Foundation invite all the bishops, and these were the only ones who took the bait? Or did they have a list of "not on to us yet" invitees? Either way, happy to see some soul-searching going on, if belatedly.

When the next US Congress investigates corruption, Trump's oil-deal-of-the-century with Alejandro Betancourt, the face of Venezuelan corruption, should be top of its list. Two kleptocracies working together. Brilliant essay by @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

The shadow of Trump's arch would cover: —Burial sites in Arlington National Cemetery —The graves of Supreme Court Justices Thurgood Marshall, William H. Rehnquist and Ruth Bader Ginsburg —Kennedy's eternal flame —Kennedy's memorial —The Military Women's Memorial

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

2. Details in today's Popular Information:

When Whiteness endangers a 3-year-old child! YOU'RE FUCKING RACIST, AMERIKKKA! And not a damn good thing can come from you!

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in this grotesque farce. When you travel all the way to DC to go to the home of the most infamous fascist in US history and get ushered into his office alongside a videographer and photographer, you know *exactly* what vile game you're playing. Disgraceful.

In August, the Trump administration flew 12 Somali immigrants to an ICE facility at Guantanamo Bay. “Nobody tell us that we’re going to Guantanamo Bay,” Sakariye Abdi Mohamed told journalist Amanda Moore in a phone call from the detention facility. “Just like kidnapping.”

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

A Somali asylum seeker called from Guantanamo Bay, and then we talked again after he was deported.

Back to ICE, this time in Florida!

every racist shit a brick when Obama dared to President While Black. of course, they couldn't *say* that, so they had to pretend that everything was a scandal — and the racists are back with a new one. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I explain. link is here: bit.ly/3UkziY1

Yes. (Sorry, I originally wrote 10p ET, then "fixed" it — but only halfway.) And, now, that deadline has passed with no filing. I also have received no notice of any Supreme Court filing. So, it appears we are back where we started: Judge Carter has set a TRO hearing for Tuesday.

Epstein's lawyer asked Deutsche Bank, over and over, how to pull cash without the government finding out. The bank finally cut Epstein off. A state attorney general just picked up where the bank left off: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-foug...

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

There can never be another "water under the bridge" administration ever again, and part of that is going to involve shaming everyone on board with this one - voters included - as the disgusting pig racists they are

Here's the topline of my analysis on this afternoon's 2-1 Ninth Circuit ruling in the California ballot case:

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win
