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.

More mic drops please.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

what a night

Here’s something you should know about minks: They have lungs and airways remarkably similar on a cellular level to those of people. They’ve spread flus and infected humans before with COVID-19. Right now, bird flu is spreading on a Utah farm filled with thousands of them… 🧵

Words. Words. Words. Imagination.

Todd Blanche won't rule out trying to block states from certifying midterm results. Asked whether the Trump DOJ might try to block a state from certifying results, Blanche said: "Yes. Of course there are scenarios that we could all come up with hypothetically. Some doomsday scenario, for example."

All thanks to Victor Mingovits for the fabulous cover design! 💜✊🏽❤️

Netflix is laying off 1,000 workers — its largest layoff ever. In 2025, Netflix had a net income of $11 billion (up 26%). Its CEO was paid $53M (255x more than the median employee). And it just raised prices for the second time in just over a year. Corporate greed in a nutshell.

That's it folks, she shall forever be known as the Zachbot. 🤖 "Katie Zacharia’s maiden briefing was excruciating-" ☠️ hahaha! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

holy shit -- a protester at the Trump rally gets physically assaulted after they interrupt the rally by a man who punches her in the face. Trump smears the protester as a "fat guy"

Elias Law Group is currently litigating 92 voting and election cases in 42 states plus D.C. We are a 60+ lawyer firm litigating more than anyone else. We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.🗳️💪⚖️

People who lose their jobs in this economy are taking longer to find new work. Nearly four in ten people exhaust their unemployment benefits before they land a new job. n.pr/4s0WyH8

The man with artificial hair, teeth, doctor’s reports, lifts in his shoes, scalp reduction surgery, a girdle, and a painted orange face claims we’re his enemy if we use the word “artificial.”

The government is silent about it because governments do not care about disabled lives. They see us as drains on the system. “Useless eaters”. High cost health users. Anything other than people who are deserving of love and care. Most people will end up disabled at some point. Fight for us.

Gag-a-maggot, this is a sick shit show we have to endure every day. Ugh.

Hawaii enacted a law that could neuter Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.

A 17-month-old girl was hospitalized with E. coli after consuming raw milk. Soon, another child — a 6-year-old girl who’d drunk milk from the same farm — would wind up in the same San Diego hospital, with the same potentially fatal illness.

1. She's president's human binky & controls his social media 2. Foreign govts use her a conduit for Trump 3. She's lied about much of her background 4. She wouldn't or couldn't get security clearance (see 3) 5. She has an obsession w/ Trump giving their relationship a vaguely inappropriate dynamic

4 men in plain clothes kidnap a woman—they claim to be ICE. Woman's name is Angel Zhao. She lives in Huntington Beach, California—originally Shanghai, China.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 325-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

I spoke to @usatoday.com about data on sexual violence at Cornell. Victimization rates are increasing and reporting rates are falling. “Together… those two trendlines tell me that all students, including victims and perpetrators, believe that there is impunity for sexual assault at Cornell.”

Nicki Minaj is not a US citizen. She’s a green card holder. Her husband, Kenneth Petty, is a registered sex offender. Her brother, Jelani Maraj, was convicted of repeatedly raping his 11-year-old stepdaughter. So, of course, she’s MAGA.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm-bomb

Yes, they are, just like the perverts who have always existed since the beginning of time. Lucky us 🤓

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Thank you! If you'd like to show appreciation for the decade I've been doing this work by buying me a coffee, you can do so here:

With 45 days until the midterms, I urge you all to: 1) Help get out the vote. 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference. 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism. We are the only ones who can end this nightmare. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Kevin Roberts is the president of The Heritage Foundation, the largest conservative think tank in America. He claims we shouldn’t be free to do what we “may,” but what we “ought.” Who says what we “ought” to do? Him? If that isn’t a threat to our freedom, then what is? More in our profile:

Allegations against Lauren Boebert include sexual relations with Congressional employees, hush money payments, and thousands of dollars in misused official and campaign funds. Here's the redacted complaint: media.coloradotimesrecorder.com/wp-content/u...

Receiving Medicaid, food stamps, tuition assistance and free school lunch could all be grounds for denying a green-card application now. New York led 21 other states, D.C. and several cities in suing the Trump administration over the new rule. https://wapo.st/475AnWm

How did a man named Umar Kremlev go from Russian biker gang member to Putin ally to secret benefactor of Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding? 🎧 Tune in for a very special episode of ProPublica's “Paper Trail” podcast:

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power.

"The USA experienced declines in Free Political Parties, Effective Parliament, Access to Justice, and Judicial Independence, Freedom of Expression, Freedom of the Press, and Economic Equality. US scores on most of these measures are at their lowest levels since 1975" www.idea.int/publications...

Disabled people, like anyone else, may not want to be filmed by strangers in their day-to-day lives—and are uniquely affected by surveillance in ways that predate smart glasses.

Disabled people must “prove” they’re disabled enough to receive meagre benefits. Poor people must “prove” they’re poor enough for SNAP and social supports. US Senators don’t even have to prove they’re mentally competent to vote. Yet they decide who gets basic needs met.

Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev footed the bill for hundreds of thousands of dollars of expenses at Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding, including renting out a private island. National security experts say it raises an urgent question: What motivated Kremlev to spend a fortune cultivating the connection?

It’s hard to avoid the similarities between Trump's relationship with the Kennedy Center and a psychopathic courtship. If he can’t possess it, he threatens to kill it.

This video is my opinion 🤓
