Speaking ill of the dead is sometimes our unpleasant duty to truth and justice.

More than plausible, especially the irresistible impulse to destroy which is front and center in season 2.

Homepage of the @miamiherald.com with story by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social that mentions rape in the first paragraph. See, it's not so fucking hard. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

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

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...

Is it normal for an anonymous Wyoming LLC that sent mass mailers impersonating a transgender advocacy group to hire the lawyer who defended TX Attorney General Ken Paxton from impeachment in response to a court filing seeking to depose people who could unmask the LLC's owners

Cary López Alvarado is a U.S. citizen, born in LA She says ICE goons kept speaking to her in Spanish and assuming she was from Mexico, even after she told them, again and again, that she was born here and speaks English. She was 9 months pregnant when she was detained by ICE.

Also, maybe it's just me, but I feel like I don't need to be lectured on culture by a man who drove his first wife to suicide and motors around with dead bear cubs in his trunk because he plans to eat them later.

Here's the excerpt I think @kyledcheney.bsky.social meant to append:

I dont know if it's because they love republicans and want them to win but holy crap is this an embarrassment. the equivalent of reckless disregard in terms of journalism fuck ups. Just the simplest damn googling.

Republican Shellie Flockhart, who called Iowa Democratic House candidate Sarah Trone Garriott "dangerous" for kids, actually pleaded guilty to endangering kids herself after authorities said she drove drunk with her children in the car in 2017.

🚨 LEAKED: In a fundraising appeal, Mike Rogers told potential donors, "When you stand with my Senate campaign today, you are directly shielding Elon Musk" from potential investigations into the harm caused by DOGE cuts. Rogers asked for donations so he could "protect Elon."

Eric Lipton. below, has led an effort over the past two years to document the destruction of environmental protections under Trump II. It has gone for the most part unnoticed compared to, well, many other things, probably because it’s happening far from the Oval Office. But it’s very important.

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.

This is true. Qatar is widely believed to be the biggest financial backer of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Trump said he had to takeover Greenland to keep China and Russia out. And then he snuck Russia onto the North Slope. Literally just ... inviting them in. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

So readers: We've offered today a small overview of thousands of documents NYT collected as part of reporting for this story--just a tiny fraction shared here What is clear? Documentation matters. Transparency matters Accountability matters. Thanks for reading www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

“Americans deserve a Congress that works for them, not for special interests or personal portfolios,” the Florida Republican said in 2025. Then the federal contracts started rolling in.

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

You know it's true🎶 Everything Mike does🎶 He does it for Trump🎶 Hey Mike Rogers, when you see Trump today, show him this!

What’s going on between Trump and Putin? Why are they calling each other humanitarians? I explain why that’s the the point and the flattening of language and words under authoritarians.

Apparently, some Houston voters are putting their I Voted stickers on the Lorenzo Salgado Araujo memorial. Stephen Miller is ALREADY trying to scapegoat others for losing whatever races they lose in Texas and elsewhere. This is a vivid testament that for some voters, his murder squad is the reason.

here, write it down so it’s easy to repeat: an illegitimate supreme court allowed an insurrectionist barred by the 14th amendment to take office and his pardons aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on

Here's how private equity killed your local mall.

The U.S. Postal Service has reduced mail pickup at some local facilities, which could affect when your ballot is postmarked. To find out whether your ZIP code is affected, use our lookup tool: www.propublica.org/article/mail...

I forget who said this in a post the other day, but while it's a catastrophe that Elon has the net worth of the Phillippines, you don't want to be going up against the US if you're the Philippines

She yelled “fascist” as President Trump spoke at a midterm campaign rally. Almost immediately, she was tackled and punched by male rally-goers. Why has no one been charged? nyti.ms/3Ukw1b8

Russia Russia Russia is and always was real.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

If Amy Acton was a good daughter, she would have teamed up with her mother to get rich off an Alzheimer’s drug they knew wouldn’t work. by Vivek and Geetha Ramaswamy

It’s hard to choose, but I think the biggest media failure during the Trump era will be their collapse on Russiagate. Because there was no pee tape they ignored all evidence no matter how obvious.

It was almost a year ago to the day that Trump pardoned former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, who spent four months behind bars after pleading guilty to a federal money laundering charge.

It's a Klan rally.

I have not yet read the majority opinion in full, but an unstated principle here is, IMO: if a person can be indefinitely detained on the allegation that they are in the country unlawfully, then a CITIZEN can be indefinitely on the erroneous allegation that they’re an alien

Democrats should really feature these creeps their extensive ties to this administration.

Ossoff: "I encourage all of you to reach out to the Collins campaign to ask him how explains the continued production & dissemination of white nationalist and antisemitic propaganda from his property while he runs for the Senate. It's one of the most shocking developments in GA's political history"

This is an important point and one way we should use this VF article. Even if the most damning part -- the bank accounts -- is not true, we do know Kushner is a literal agent (financial advisor) to the Saudis and UAE. How the hell is he running negotiations?

I love how this whole convo, all sides of it, presumes that the Google CEO gets to decide what we call our oceans (or lakes or rivers or mountains or whatever). Really encapsulates the fundamental brokenness that tech monopoly has wrought.

I hope Democrats are ready to blow up the system with campaign finance and transparency reforms. Trust is already at an all-time low. We don't get out of this mess without rebuilding trust.

Australia’s government is set to sue Facebook, TikTok and other major digital platforms for alleged non-compliance with a nationwide social media ban for under-16s, Communications Minister Anika Wells says in an interview

This is so perfect.

"We are entering what may be the most dangerous phase in the life of the most dangerous political leader America has ever known." 💯

Important note. There is a five-year lockup period during which these kids (the parents on their behalf), cannot sell the stock. Such a market-manipulating move to keep a floor under his stock price. This helps him with his existing shares. And even if they fall, that’s on the kids.

Of course Bari Weiss has pushed CBS reporters to pursue the James Talarico was in a mental hospital and Abdul El-Sayed is tied to the Muslim Brotherhoid stories. Of course she has. www.semafor.com/article/10/1...

Ossoff: "At a rally earlier this week in Ohio, the president egged on supports who assaulted a woman demanding the release of the Epstein files. Because if you can count on one thing from this White House, it's their tireless commitment to war, inflation, and covering up sex trafficking."
