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.

This guy is an absolute nut!

Max Miller said people have been "using Social Security as a safety net when it was" never "supposed" to be one. My parents moved in with me because Social Security wasn't enough of a safety net. That's the difference in this race.

Trump has raised $330 million from private donors for his White House ballroom. About half have received federal contracts during his second term, according to The Washington Post. Here are the top 16 givers.

The Trump administration is running a massive pay-to-play scheme with the President’s golden ballroom. Now you can see who is paying the freight and the pardons, contracts, mergers and more they want in return. The corruption is costing you billions.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

The Post obtained a list revealing all the major donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom, including contributors who have benefited from regulatory decisions, government contracts and, in one case, a pardon for a family member. See the full list: https://wapo.st/4jS0APW

Stop what you are doing because you need to read this. Billions of dollars in oil trades were perfectly timed to Trump’s decision to back off attacking Iranian power plants. Trump announced the reversal just 15 minutes after those trades were placed.

Put a fork in the Republican Senate candidates in GA and NC. Rogers is hanging on by the thread in MI. Collins is in trouble in ME, so is Sullivan in AK. Paxton is clearly on the back foot. Kansas is in play. Graham is a weak candidate in SC, and nobody is quite sure about the state of play there.
