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.

THANK GOD

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

We are at the point of the Trump administration where the courtiers are complaining about their fellow grifters for cutting in on their rackets.

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.

If he can use an executive order to dismiss laws passed by Congress, we are no longer a nation of laws. We are one man deciding what the law will be. We are a dictatorship.

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...

Trump allies are feuding over where a multi-million dollar check went. Alina Habba's husband intended to have $6 million go to the Kennedy Center, and now it's missing. Habba went to Trump to accuse Ric Grennell, former director of the Kennedy Center, of stealing it... WH counsel is investigating.

Three little kids and a teacher were shot and killed at their school today in Bend, Oregon. Two more were injured. Our hearts are broken and we’re angry. It’s disgraceful that extremists keep blocking critical, lifesaving laws while kids die in their classrooms. America can do better. It must.

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

I asked if an aisle seat near the front was available and she said she’d get back to me.

Q: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire, but both sides said they have not agreed to that TRUMP: Well they agreed, you know why? Because I said 'you agree.' That's why.

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
