"braying" is an excellent word choice here so is "fuck RFK Jr"

More the fool I, but I really didn't imagine the current regime not simply leaning in to racism but braying it from every rooftop. Fuck RFK Jr., fuck his wife, and fuck anyone—anyone—who thinks that the Republican party deserves anything short of oblivion.

One of the hallmarks of Trump is that he lies repeatedly about elections that he won.

Trump never won Minnesota. 2016: Clinton 46.4%, Trump 44.9% 2020: Biden 52.4%, Trump 45.3% 2024: Harris 50.9%, Trump 46.7%

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.

the "90 days to turn in their trump coins" thing was MY idea, I swear (but that's ok, no harm no foul no charge 😉) everything else is just common sense AND...AND...a great way to bring the country together who doesn't love a good bonfire???

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

in terms of social media, that is the greatest lesson. if you can manage to teach your base to have the discipline not to engage with the other side, the effect is massive. The past few weeks, our social media was 100% left and that has never happened before.

Miller deserves everything that's coming. He's afraid of state prosecutors because a presidential pardon only covers federal offenses; and beyond prison, there's also future congressional investigations and civil lawsuits. www.rawstory.com/rs-exclusive...

The story you really want out there before the election is the President's semi-estranged wife is tight with Putin.

he's absolutely correct: we'll never lower costs until we end tariff insanity, ICE insanity, and the trump-Iran War and to do that? we'll have to remove trump from office (or wait until 2029) I vote not to harm my fellow Americans and their family budgets for two more years. You?

Trump’s response to the Ramaswamy ad is worth dwelling on to remind us how his administration has actually treated survivors of abuse. Beyond Acton, beyond Epstein's victims, there are thousands of other kids and domestic violence victims whose lives have been made materially worse by Trump policy

How did Elon Musk go from "getting out of politics" to becoming the biggest political donor for a single election in history? Because he is panicking about what happens when the public gets the FULL STORY. He'll be in prison, so this is him trying to avoid prison by buying an election. Tick tock

Still covering Elon Musk as a business mogul and not foregrounding his murderous white nationalist politics is like doing a piece on only the clown career of John Wayne Gacy.

There’s no one as ardent in their fury as the most recent converts, the folks whose eyes were just opened… …makes sense, too. The rest of what remains of the GOP is the head-in-the-sand soulless “moderates” who’ve been enabling trump’s many atrocities with their quiet acquiescence.

$446 million of his (sometime) reported net worth of $1 trillion means he’s still only spending 0.0446% of his net worth to try to buy elections. put in more concrete terms: if you had $100, this would be like spending less than 5 cents. now tell me again why i should vote against a wealth tax.

As discussions of rape have permeated this election season, Trump has remained constant in his loyalties. He described Max Miller as a “good person”; he “felt badly” for the Cornell 7; he called the ad with Acton’s birth mother “very powerful.” He excuses it because he identifies with the accused.

NEW: Elon Musk gave his super PAC $76 million in just two weeks of October, and more than half of its new candidate spending went to one race: the Texas Senate fight against James Talarico. He’s now given more than $445 million this cycle, far more than he spent electing Trump.

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"
