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’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

“It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that Musk understands the stakes – that he has crossed the line, that there’s no going back, and that all that’s left is to pour hundreds of millions into the midterms in the hopes of staying out of jail.”
“.. The world’s richest man poured $446 million of his own money into this year’s midterm elections, mostly aimed at preserving the Republican Party’s control of Congress, recent election filings show.” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/elections/in...

We have to be ready for Trump's sabotage before & after the election. Not just lies about fraud & efforts to seize ballots, but also Russian interference, possibly including "instigating civil unrest..that result in potentially violent action," Frank Figliuzzi says. open.substack.com/pub/america/...

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)
Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

Will any reporter ask the President of the United States to name the five specific states where he alleges that public school teachers are deciding -- all on their own initiative, over the objections of the parents -- to force their children into gender-affirming surgeries? Seems like a big story?
Trump: "We have 5 states where your child goes off to school as Tim and comes back as Tammy 3 or 4 days later. It's true. And teachers make a decision. 'Goodbye Timmy I love you so much, I'll see you later.' And you say, 'Where's my son? My son is in the hospital.' Can you imagine?"

some deranged lunatic is going to storm an elementary school with an ar15 looking for the schools surgical center and the media is going to pretend we have no idea where they got that idea from
Trump: "They want to cut your children. It's unbelievable what they do. Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes home in three days as Janet, and they don't even ask you. They can take your child out of school and do whatever the hell they want. Minnesota is one of those states."

It matters that she's a member of Congress. This is an extreme escalation. He is attacking a member of the one body with the constitutional power to hold him accountable and check his crimes. And he's doing so trying to gin up a fake basis to strip her of her eligibility to be in Congress.

Great example of how this administration operates. Was doing this legal? That’s now in court. But the trees are already cut down. It’s basically a ‘commit crimes first, avoid consequences later’ philosophy playing out in real time throughout the government.
BREAKING: Trump administration cut down more than 500 trees on Saturday at the East Potomac Golf Course after giving less than a full-day notice, with more tree-cutting planned, so plaintiffs challenging the effort went to court seeking a TRO tonight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The far right/Christian/tech/military axis is more than a little creepy.
Developer Josh Abbottoy, who aims to build a “far-right ‘aligned’ [Christian] community” in a tiny TN town has now proposed building a drone factory there. (Abbottoy is tied to New Founding—backed by Thiel ally Marc Andreessen—& to American Reformer where Thiel ally Chris Buskirk is a director.) 1/

Trump sanctioned the International Criminal Court while simultaneously easing sanctions on Russia which is massacring Ukrainian civilians. A masterclass in criminality and corruption.
Trump announced a deal with Putin to sell 4.8 million tonnes of Russian diesel, potentially worth $7.24 billion, while easing US sanctions. The deal would boost Russia’s war finances and undermine Ukraine’s efforts to cut off revenues funding Russia’s invasion.

Sorry, you're saying that *in the middle of a war of the United States is involved in* an agent of our government adhered to a co-belligerent rather than America by suppressing intelligence from our government that he knew it needed and wanted? That's Treason, right?
