You can't expect the New York Times to give any attention to a story about the president being credibly accused of violent rape when the story breaks so close to an election. It's not like we're talking about something *really* important, like email security protocols.

The Scene reports here that the “youthful indiscretions” Taylor refers to include unsolicited nude photos sent as recently as 2021 when he was 53.

just heartbreaking stuff Alex Pretti's mother calls out ICE and the Trump administration for killing her son and smearing his name, and calls for justice to be done.

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

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.

🚨 Iowa Senate candidate Josh Turek calls out Republican Ashley Hinson over what he describes as a $400,000 campaign bus and a request for gas money. “I'm just in a small car just driving around Iowa.” “That is a Marie Antoinette level of ‘let them eat cake’ disconnect.”

Americans right now are righteously angry & full of fear at what Trump is doing to this country. Anger & fear are great motivators. And what I heard this past weekend in Omaha confirmed to me that a big old blue wave is coming. Today’s piece.👇 socialcontractwithjoewalsh.substack.com/p/notes-from...

This is a profoundly salacious story about the 21st century’s most notorious pedophile and this is the NBC headline, where the subhead is Trump’s denial

There was a brand new allegation that the president raped a woman in the 1990s yesterday and it appears to not be on the NYT homepage at all right now

It is short and so I assume they are looking into things but it is... interesting... that the NYT piece on the new House Dems report on Trump ties to Epstein simply does not mention the brand new rape allegation and says whatever this is instead www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

“The choice is not particularly nuanced. Stick with the Republicans who have chosen cruelty, chaos & corruption. Or vote in Democrats who recognize the crisis…can hold the criminals accountable & are motivated to pursue a more equitable & affordable future.” www.americaamerica.news/p/showing-tr...

A former Miss Switzerland beauty pageant contestant has accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her at New York's Plaza Hotel in 1993, according to her account to Congress. Trump has denied the allegations.

I really think everyone needs to pay attention to this coordinated campaign to delegitimize Muslim Americans - not just as citizens but as humans. These increasingly hysterical attacks are a prelude to Republicans bringing us to a very, very dark place after the election.

Q: Why shouldn't Alaskans find it insulting that the administration is suggesting they can't read the word 'incumbent' on their ballot and know to vote for Sen. Sullivan? JD VANCE: People are busy. People have lives. People have jobs.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

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.

Bale Dalton: My opponent says that the war in Iran and rising gas prices are the cost of freedom. Well, I'm pretty sure that we had freedom before entering into this war of choice in which the only thing that is a viable alternative of getting out is a worse situation than when we got in.

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
