A damning quote from the report: “Trump and Epstein seemed to share the same playbook for recruiting and abusing women, all the way down to the university they promised admission to and the timing of their follow-up phone calls.”

Pregnancy can be used to justify or pressure a girl into marriage, and some U.S. states still allow teens to marry as early as 15. Reproductive rights writer Catherine Work explains why she believes abortion bans could lead to an increase of child marriages.

Jon Ossoff’s closing argument went in for the kill.

The only thing America's most dangerous immigrant would hate more than sharing the crap out of this video of him in 2024, is millions more voters realizing that they HAVE THE POWER to hold him legally accountable in 2027--BY VOTING BLUE MIDTERMS in numbers TOO BIG TO RIG‼️ ⚖️

Mark MacCarthy of Georgetown University warns “the overexpansion of AI data centers is so large that the contraction is likely to have substantial macroeconomic consequences.” He says Congress should still act on ratepayers, safety, liability and AI misinformation.

Trump’s “only real, authentic pleasure is in cruelty…It is that cruelty, and the delight it brings them, that binds his most ardent supporters to him, in shared scorn for those they hate and fear: immigrants, black voters, feminists and treasonous white men…” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/o...

Much easier for the media to lock in on faux Cheesecake Factory outrage than a House Dem report indicating Todd Blanche basically told Ghislaine Maxwell "stop talking" when she was about to discuss a girl that could more closely tie Trump to Epstein

It's not just California: The Trump admin just asked Washington state to set aside ballots received from more than 400 people it claims are suspected to be registered to vote without U.S. citizenship.

HEGSETH FOR IMPEACHMENT Watch Ari Melber analyse the case for war crimes against Pete Hegseth, which is so strong he is reportedly already looking for a new job, possibly as Senator, to try to escape accountability. And whose orders did Hegseth follow ? ... 1/2

True. Though not all Trump supporters are. T did great with ppl who consume no news e.g. just noticed yard signs saying "Kamala high prices, Trump lower prices." Very very few T voters knew all the stuff high info liberal voters know about Trump. Most voted for an imaginary Trump.

Woody Harrelson has done an ad "for Exxon". Well worth watching

The rape allegations against Trump: what we know and what is still being hidden

House Judiciary Democrats released a bombshell report that accused Trump of five rapes in the presence of Jeffrey Epstein that, if true, implicates the president directly in Epstein’s crimes. open.substack.com/pub/politicu...

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.

Interesting approach by Mike Rogers to make his loyalty to Elon Musk & the oligarchy an explicit part of his campaign earlier this year. “When you stand with my Senate campaign today, you are directly shielding Elon Musk,” Rogers wrote. www.metrotimes.com/news/mike-ro...

Who do I give to to get this in front of as many Michigan voters as possible?

Will anyone—anyone at all—ask Trump about the rape allegations published in an official report by the House Judiciary Democrats? Or will he continue to escape accountability for his violence?

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

BREAKING: Preliminary injunction granted in the golf course case by Judge Reyes! The threat to close & destroy this historic property is the latest act of Trump corruption that the courts have responded to Kudos to our wonderful clients & cocounsel @democracyforward.org & Lowell & Associates

Protester to Trump: “Shove that ballroom up your fat ass!”

Even though these are national and global layoffs, one should read its timing as Microsoft’s effort to stop WA’s millionaires tax, as right-wingers will blame that tax for these layoffs despite there being no actual connection.

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.

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

What's striking to me are the rules of engagement and the methodology of action here, which more or less is predicated on burying liberal delusions about "debate" or the "marketplace of ideas". The rules were ultimately very simple: amplify your own message and suppress your opponent's.

i got into this whole industry thinking (wrongly) that the mainstream press just had to systematically be corrected and nudged in the right direction after decades of right-wing bullying. no. the right has a noise machine. the way to combat that noise machine is to out-shout it. period.

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

This is why Trump just said at his rally that he doesn’t care about high gas prices because people who own stakes in the oil and gas industry are getting rich.

The US is not about to have a free and fair election. The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor the ruling party in multiple ways. It's a mostly free, somewhat unfair election. But still one where the ruling party can be overwhelmed by numbers. Hence the term "competitive authoritarianism."

The U.S. is the only major economy where planet-warming pollution has increased dramatically in the last year.

This is why we need to tax the rich much, much, much more! Wasteful spending, money he doesn't even miss - that could have gone into the treasury, for the general good.

If you haven’t yet had a chance to see or read Barack Obama’s speech in Cleveland Saturday night, please do both. And then share it as widely as you can. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/wise-and-important-words

The Pentagon wants US military bases to prepare for prolonged disruption, with a reported 90-day self-sufficiency target. FORTRESS America covers power, fuel, water, communications and critical supplies. The challenge is turning that target into a working system👇

"Growing anti-Indian rhetoric within the GOP is pushing some lifelong conservative Indian American voters to reconsider their allegiance to the Republican Party"

In August, President Trump announced he had signed the “biggest oil deal in world history.” ProPublica reviewed the deal and found it gives a small group of people largely handpicked by the Trump administration long-term control of the enterprise.

For decades, scientists believed that plastics were some of the safest materials around. Now, a new study shows just how flawed that assumption was. A range of studies have found links between microplastic exposure and various health problems.

Yet another reason to vote for Democrats!

This is a disgrace, and it directly impacts our military readiness. Some 1,300 Navy family members were evacuated from Bahrain during the Iran war. Months later, families are still displaced, separated from loved ones, struggling financially, and waiting for answers. #SupportTheTroops 🧵

boy it sure seems like the main threat to democracy everywhere across the globe is right wing media and certain social media companies

The researchers found the Environmental Protection Agency’s minimum reporting levels masked widespread contamination.

Jimmy Carter gave a collective pardon to Vietnam war draft evaders, but that was for single offense. Trump would pardon ANY federal crime committed by his lackeys. Unless stopped, presidents will be immune from Congressional oversight by simply violating any law and then issuing a pardon. Madness.

Exactly. Most libs don't realize that MOST media/SMedia are Right Wing & that most T voters voted on the basis of RW media pretty lies about T & ugly lies about Dems. And most libs consume mainstream media--which downplay how bad T's corruption & idiocy are. MSM sane wash him & ethics wash him.

Big Oil used to pretend climate change wasn’t real – then they pretended they were part of the solution. 🧵
