It is a dark stain on American voters and the Republican Party that despite a range of criminal convictions, plus successful civil actions for rape - let alone the Jan 6th insurrection he encourages that the Republican Party allows him to stand for a second term & American voters elected him.

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...

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

Toby has been so forceful in making this important point: look at what's happened to trans rights in the UK, and you see the end result of where moral compromise in the US will inevitably lead:

there's been a worldwide campaign against trans people—nowhere has it been stronger (& less opposed) than the uk latest podcast with @aendra.com www.politicalphilosophypodcast.com/uk-media-trans

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

The Trump-MAGA freakout over Senator Elissa Slotkin's call for real oversight of Trump is complete horseshit, and every Democrat and journalist should be loudly saying so. This is how MAGA baits MSM into elevating propaganda into "controversy." New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2168...

newrepublic.comTrump’s Vile Tirade About Sen. Elissa Slotkin Exposes Sleazy MAGA ScamThe Michigan senator said nothing remotely alarming, but MAGA-world ginned it into a “controversy.” Democrats need to learn how to stand up to this nonsense.

Another day, another wildly corrupt plot that would shock the country under any other administration.   Trump & his rich friends have turned the federal govt into a pay-to-play scheme — exchanging millions of dollars for favors & selling access to foreign tycoons. www.axios.com/2026/10/19/k...

Darlene Graham is such a weak and useless Trump puppet that she can’t even defend the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanctions Act. She has zero thought or independence on anything policy or political. She was appointed to follow Trump’s every order and that’s exactly what she’s doing.
