As the article notes, he's running for the House in TN's gerrymandered 9th District against @justinjpearson.bsky.social, who was only four points behind in the polls when this story broke. Might be too late to pull it out, but wave elections can be tricky. If you're in the area, get involved!

So hard to pick a favorite part of this article. Pretending that sending unsolicited dick pics at 53 was a “youthful indiscretion” is good, but don’t sleep on the argument that his wife forgave him for subjecting other women to unwanted nude photos so everyone else should too

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.

Bill Maher said “fuck you” and called us bitches for being upset he dined with Trump. Then Trump tore into Maher on Truth Social calling him a lying, losery coward. That’s funny to me.

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

Prediction markets are one of the new dimensions of this election cycle. We already see a lot of rumors and conspiracy theories based on misinterpretations of data, statistics, and visualizations. The prediction markets add a new data source ripe for both manipulation and misinterpretation.

One of the most important financial stories out there if you want to know how and why the same five evil guys wind up owning everything.

Here's a direct link to House Dem's Judiciary Cmte report. The executive summary begins: "A growing body of evidence demonstrates that Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s." democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

NEW: Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said in an interview with extremist organization Live Action that his intervention in surrogacy cases is about promoting fetal personhood—an argument that could imperil not just surrogacy, but also abortion, IVF, and some forms of birth control.

Welcome to a “Hold my white hood” edition of the MAGA Minute. Today, Trump continues to double, triple, and quadruple down with his race-religion-gender baiting. Apparently he finds it easier to post under the light of a burning cross. #RadioFreeAmerica #politics

This guy just sucks. And btw he's wrong.

He keeps hinting in his speeches that there are going to be some big surprises next week and a couple people in his administration are going to be remembered in history books. It seems like no one really knows what to do with that information so it’s just passing casually
