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.

In Nevada, a similar effort fizzled. The Trump administration claimed 16,000 noncitizen voters. Later, it was slashed to 185. The bottom line was zero found.

This is inhumane. The first item of business for a Democratic Congress is to enact protections for women: When Idaho Banned Abortion, OB-GYNs Fled. The Doctors Who Stayed Are Cracking. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/m...

Then, Mr Carville, you support fascism and authoritarianism and are a traitor to this country
🤔 James Carville: “I’d rather Republicans keep the house by 5 than Dems win by 5… Because then they’re hostage to DSA, and Hakeem can’t move.” 😬Bill Kristol: “Good point.” So afraid of DSA folks who want M4ALL, etc. they’d rather Republicans hold power. Unreal. True colors.

Excellent article:
Someday we will no longer have to keep pointing people to the reporting of my friend @markfollman.bsky.social on the one really effective method for slowing/stopping school shootings in a nation that won't pass tough gun laws. Sadly that day is not today. www.motherjones.com/criminal-jus...

Hey Canadians, are you okay with the US Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra? He working out for you? The Petition to have him removed is still open! There are only 275k+ signatures so far & we need more if we want to say GOOD RIDDANCE!!! Please sign & share. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...
Trump is incapable of "standing for" anything, because he is a man completely devoid of principle. Sorry if you had other delusions.
Joe Rogan: What Trump stood for, some of it turned out to not be real. Like 'no wars.' We're at a war with Iran, so that wasn't real. It's nuts to just give someone a $50,000 ICE signing bonus, you train them for seven weeks, and you have a militarized force running through the fucking city streets

So, she's completely devoid of empathy then
Susan Collins is showing just how out of touch she is. “I spent a whole year without health insurance…in ‘94” That was 3 decades ago, Susan, when insurance was $1500 annually… Thanks to Susan’s vote that helped pass Trump’s murderous budget bill, premiums are $1500 a month now for some folks.

I dunno, I think giving a bunch of cartoonish opportunists and con artist a lot of political power was a bad call.
She's so crooked, it's comic: 'Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express—in a way that wouldn’t leave a paper trail. “It
