Time for a master thread on all the reasons we are headed for a (likely very bad and prolonged) recession. First, tariffs. So much stove-touching you can’t believe it. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/lut...

Beyond a new rape allegation, the @democrats-judiciary.house.gov report implicates current Attorney General Todd Blanche, stating he "may have engaged in criminal obstruction of justice while acting on a mission to protect Trump," referring to an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. Seems like news!

Wow. This is funny because Blanche was on TV yesterday defending the suit on grounds that the Alaska election officials were on their side
Alaska authorities strongly oppose the Trump DOJ’s attempted “interference” in the election. This is significant because there were concerns the state—which sought to DQ the second Sullivan—would take the same side. But it didn’t. Quite the contrary. buff.ly/EJHtDpX

RV: Jackson 53-44 Pingree 51-40 Contortions to get a close result
Impressive. But goes to show how malleable public opinion is. Put me in charge of the next Dem president’s ad team, and I could make the IRS popular. Sleek videos with IRS agents explaining all the loopholes billionaires use and how we’re gonna close every one.
Trump has made ICE way less popular than the IRS www.pewresearch.org/fact-sheet/h...

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

There can never be another "water under the bridge" administration ever again, and part of that is going to involve shaming everyone on board with this one - voters included - as the disgusting pig racists they are

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.
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...
No, fuck that. Just ban it. I’m so sick of mealy mouthed Democrats refusing to take a clear position on anything. Online gambling has been an abject disaster. It’s the next opioid epidemic. Ban it.
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

i can see an argument that at some point mass prosecutions of these guys might actually engender a backlash effect. i think you can just start with a peace deal with iran that involves turning over hegseth to them to answer for the children he killed and then going from there. it will have an effect

Did the judiciary committee hold a press conference to announce the findings? If not, why not? Did they coordinate media hits on cable news? If not, why not? Did they all post it on social media? If not why not?
i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

he is being investigated for many other crimes such as stealing an island from tottenham's player richarlison, multiple fraud types, corruption and involvement with daniel vorcaro, who probably is involved in human traffic and was told by a partner in crime that epstein is an amateur next to him

The evidence is pretty overwhelming that there was a large coordinated conspiracy to suppress votes by shutting down bus service. If Flavio was involved—and there is good reason to believe he is—he will deservedly go to prison.
“Flávio has given up,” a Bolsonaro family adviser told The Washington Post. “He’s terrified. He is worried his father will die in jail, that he himself will be jailed this week, and that he may have a long prison term ahead”

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

Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell
