A reporter says Russian spies hacked Jared Kushner’s phone during Trump’s first term. Then the Dutch got in. Kushner is now negotiating with Russia for America. The Dutch reportedly watched him log into one account. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-bushes...

Alex Pretti's father: We wish Alex was alive. This administration has taken that away from us. What we've been treated to is cruelty. By Dan Rosen in the US Attorney's office, from the Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has ignored our letter begging for information. They've shielded Alex's killers.

oh this is SICK

In newspapers around the world, the report that Donald Trump raped Béatrice Keul in an Atlantic City hotel room commands huge headlines. In US corporate media, it isn't reported. Ask yourself why that might be. Here's the front page of today's Süddeutsche Zeitung in Munich.

I will never again join a party. I'm too old, and my GOP divorce too traumatic, as I said here:

The next party of the center-right will likely come from disaffected centrist Democrats. And that's *okay*. A lot of liberal former Republicans are now Democrats, too. As long as we agree on the Constitution and its protections, plenty of room for throwing elbows and fighting over what's best.

Does anyone know who the "William Barr" is who is mentioned in the FBI chart on page 22 of the House Dem staff Epstein report? democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Reporters who have access to people like Vance, I beg you: The necessary follow-up is "That's a pretty serious charge. Can you give us A SPECIFIC EXAMPLE of El-Sayed expressing 'anti-white racial bigotry'?" Asking for specifics from people like him is a magic accountability tool. Use it!

Every functioning democracy needs a party of the left and of the right - and both within the framework of accepted rules of a liberal constitutional order. One day I hope we get that back.

I don't think anything can be built out of the current GOP.

"It's okay to suspend a 3rd-grader for drawing a zombie because schools need to be hypervigilant about signs of a potential school shooter" fucking LISTEN to yourself. THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO LIKE HORROR ARE NOT DANGEROUS.

In 2016, while Pizzagate was taking off, I felt like I was losing my mind because I and EVERYBODY ELSE IN NYC KNEW that Trump and Epstein were best friends and nobody seemed to care. Epstein didn't become a US household word until the Miami Herald piece about his amazing plea deal in 2018.

regardless of whether you think the polls are right, the polls are wrong in favor of republicans, the polls are wrong in favor of democrats, or you just want all of us to shut up about polls, I hope we can all agree on one thing show up and vote to put these dipshits in an electoral dumpster

They are, however, in his financial interest.

From the Dems House Judiciary report:

"there's no new information in this report so it's not news" say the same news media who plastered front pages with "duplicate hillary emails found on laptop" like it was a nuclear-level scandal a week before the 2016 election

If you are too young to really remember the Obama years, conservatives were like this every single day. He really did just break their brains.

this is something Dems can just hammer on for the next two years televised hearings every week about Epstein, Epstein, Epstein make the drumbeat so loud the media doesn’t have a choice in covering it

He’s just angry because they invented modern medicine.

Abdul El-Sayed's "weird friends" didn't beat up 100+ cops while trashing the U.S. Capitol. JD Vance's "weird friends" did.

The Meta takedown of the No Kings' account on the biggest early vote push in history was bad. But it's encouraging that key congressional leaders are asking the right questions. www.ms.now/news/instagr...

In a time of rising antisemitism, we could use an organization dedicated to opposing it. Instead we have the ADL, which shrugs at Sieg Heils and anti-Jewish slurs at the top levels of govt to fixate on this. I grew up a few miles from Brighton Beach, and we called the area "Russian," not "Jewish."

There are credible allegations of rape against the president, and evidence his administration has taken steps to cover up his relationship with the world's most notorious pedophile. This story is being covered more aggressively by People Magazine than the NY Times, Wash Post, or Wall St Journal.

i hope if nothing else, the media ignoring this finally stops people from saying "the reason the media doesn't run drumbeat scandal coverage on trump the way they did on Clinton is because Dems don't make a big deal of it like Republicans do"

POLITICO: ".. The documents show representatives from Google, OpenAI, Meta, Amazon Web Services and Nvidia were 'confirmed' to meet with Abbott’s team, joined by Texas’ head electricity regulator .. to discuss building out the state’s power grid." @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

The Paxtons’ blind trust invested $600K in a convicted fraudster’s new company. Experts say the trust wasn’t truly blind as the Paxtons reported losses from it on their taxes. Angela Paxton also sat on an affiliate’s advisory board for several years. with @texastribune.org

No more surprise chainsaws at East Potomac Park The court says not one more tree comes down & the administration owes 10 business days’ notice before any other move it can’t undo Our @democracydefendersfund.org statement w/ @democracyforward.org & Lowell & Associates👇 -TN

Every news story is like “DSA-backed candidates win big in municipal elections; National Hoe-Scaring Committee furious, demands answers”

In 2020, Ken Paxton’s office spent more than 22,000 hours on voter fraud cases. The result was 16 prosecutions. “That’s 16 cases in a state of 17 million registered voters,” Marc Elias says. The rules for voting keep changing. Follow us so nothing catches you off guard.

I greatly appreciate the nuance and thoughtfulness of this thread (my original post was a pre-coffee groan of exasperation; ironically, it's my least thoughtful posts that often seem to gain the most traction...)

A good summary of the House Judiciary Dems' 50-p report on Trump's history as a violent sexual predator, including a well vetted, under-oath account from Beatrice Keul of how Trump raped her in an Atlantic City hotel room in 1993, after the pair were introduced to one another by Jeffrey Epstein.

The citizen who yelled "Shove that ballroom up your fat ass" is, in this hard time, a patriot. Honestly, what is left to say about this level of misrule? What careful critique hasn't been already offered? What reasoned response to this full-on run at fascism and kleptocracy remained unspoken?

The nomenclature for radical Israeli Jews who are engaged in murder and mayhem against Palestinians must reflect the real, horrifying conditions . The benign use of “settler” soft-pedals the depravity of those trying to drive Palestinians from the region in an effort to ethnically cleanse territory.

The minute Dems gain any power at all, watch them descend like locusts, hyping an endless series of fake scandals fed to them by the same RW slop machine that's been playing them for fools for decades. They can't wait.

The political media is visibly chafing at the current situation, where Republicans are glaringly awful, fucking everything up, running deviant candidates everyone hates, and Dems are just being normal & winning. The force is out of balance. They are viscerally eager to go after Dems about something.

another telling data point is that you’re getting really close polling in every battleground, including brand new battlegrounds like Kansas or South Carolina if Kansas is within a point you can’t tell me that Michigan is also within a point, that’s not how their partisan makeup compares

For my last Better Win a District, I wrote about TN-09. Republicans gerrymandered Memphis, the Blackest city in Tennessee, out of a seat in the House. Or at least they tried. Then along came Justin Pearson. Now TN-09 is a real fight. www.liberalcurrents.com/better-win-a...

The president has raped so many people that we have a pretty good sense of his MO. Maybe we should think about that.

Some context around this, from a markets person. Historically in LatAm, leftist victories have led to sharp losses over the ~3 months after an election where the left wins. Stocks also typically underperformed into those victories. But 3y post-election, returns for leftists have been *higher*.
