The start of the Executive Summary of the House Democrats Trump-Epstein Report: And... "The actual evidence we have seen indicates that Trump abused, assaulted, and even raped numerous women alongside... the most infamous sex trafficker in history." democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

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.

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

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.

"libertarian candidate for state senate in north carolina is currently in a shootout with the cops and live-tweeting his planned suicide", while not exactly surprising, is still a weird thing to read

Democrats have just released a 50-page report detailing Trump's mentions in the Epstein files. Democratic House Judiciary members have also called for an independent special counsel to investigate Trump and AG Todd Blanche's conflicts of interest in handling the files.

this isn't funny. Gripens only flair their necks like this when they're stressed.

Safe travels, Mr. Chekov. And thank you.

RIP Walter Koenig. Of all his moments on Star Trek, one of his finest was accurately portraying an officer stuck doing bridge duty while massively hungover (Star Trek VI)

It’s funny that prominent AI boosters are rich and have already farmed out the boring parts of life. So they don’t use it how a normal person might (shopping lists, bargain hunts, chore scheduling, ingredient substitutions, minor home repair, whatev). Their use cases are wack to normal people.

Trump and people like Dan Sullivan and Nick Begich iii are fine with Alaskans paying $26 a gallon for gas because they’re “making a freaking fortune.” Your suffering means absolutely nothing… #akelect

One if the lessons to be learned from Brazil is to stop elevating your opponent’s social media (even to dunk) and promote your own message. _This applies to Matt Yglesias and his ilk, too._ Just stop it, please.

Trump stole hundreds of billions of dollars from us and handed it to his friends at the oil companies. We pay, they prosper. Trump take gas

This is the biggest corruption scandal in American history. The Trump crime family is trying to sell the future natural gas rights of Alaska to the Russians in exchange for $25 billion in cash for themselves today.

Worth also highlighting from the same excavation about a different individual: "However, the facial injury was severe and unusual. It suggests care from group members, the evolutionary origins of which are also contentious." And the main point is about symbolic mortuary behavior.

The fact that we've agreed to call these gambling sites "prediction markets" furthers their bullshit. They predict nothing and it's a disgrace that news orgs have partnered with them and pretend they have news value. THEY'RE JUST A BUNCHA LOSERS GAMBLING.

intelligence is knowing that if i ever looked up anything about Magyar, Lula, or any of the other election winners i would probably not be great fans of their politics wisdom is knowing it doesn't matter because defeating the global chud coalition is all that matters for the foreseeable future

(half paying attention to the news today) Brazil and Serbia are opening up a bunch of Cheesecake Factories, I think

Was just commenting last night to a USAID alumnus about the role of deranged, Kremlin-inflected conspiracy theories in the destruction of the agency.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Lula won lfg now we’re going to do the same in less than two weeks. I’ll be taking no questions at this time

Explaincars Drama: because of its bad altitude

The next 10 days will be monumental, with elections in Serbia, Brazil, Israel and the US. This one was a victory for democracy.
