AMEN👏

Despite the Christian Nationalist propaganda you were taught in schools, the Pilgrims didn't flee to America because they hated religious persecution--they just wanted to be ones who got to do it. It's an attitude still embraced by this country's conservative Christians. Glory!

What he said!

The Russians are helping the Republicans and once again the Republicans are accepting their help. This has become so normal everyone has forgotten to be enraged by it.

“He ushered her into the suite, where upon entering, Trump reportedly grabbed Keul from behind and forcibly raped her; in the process, tearing her dress and causing bleeding and bruising on multiple parts of her body. Keul described the rape as ‘brutal.’”

“Beatrice Keul … credibly alleges that Trump violently raped her at a November 1993 pageant at the Plaza Hotel in New York City and that Epstein, Trump, and others used this pageant as a ‘hunting ground’ to prey on vulnerable young women and girls.”

“Stacey Williams, who offered a detailed and corroborated account of Trump sexually assaulting her in the early 1990s while she was alone with him and Epstein in an office at Trump Tower.”

“Jill Harth, who has also publicly detailed Trump aggressively pursuing and violently sexually assaulting her and another woman in 1994 at a Mar-a-Lago party where Epstein and Trump were the only men present.”

“Katie Johnson, who gave FBI a detailed account of her repeated rape at the hands of Trump and Epstein in 1994 in New York City when she was a minor.”

“A Jane Doe, who offered FBI a graphic account of Trump assaulting her when she was a minor in the mid-1980s in New York by forcibly pushing her head down to his exposed penis.”

But 24/7 for the last 3 days straight Fox has been saying Obama’s Cheesecake Factory joke was “elitist.”

Every Trump rally is just a 2-hour ad telling people why they should vote for Democrats, I've never seen anything like it

Just In: Judge Warns Trump DOJ to Stop Threatening Election Workers talkingpointsmemo.com/news/just-in...

Black African: "I fear for my life." State Department: "Asylum denied." South African: "I'm white." State Department: "Asylum granted!" Ordinary Latin American: "I fear for my life." Department of State: "Denied!" Flávio Bolsonaro: "Whaa! I lost an election." Department of State: "Granted!"

STOP! STOP! I'm already voting for Democratic candidates. I don't need another really good reason.

🚨BREAKING: Nearly 2,900 voters in one Georgia county have yet to receive the absentee ballots they recently applied for and are blaming their local officials’ hiring of an out-of-town vendor for the delays, they charge in a lawsuit filed Tuesday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I still can’t believe Susan Collins put out an ad in Maine demeaning loggers. Who’s next, lobstermen? Lighthouse keepers? Blueberry farmers? Maple syrup makers?

This is a *great* book, btw, for anyone interested in the topic.

Corrupt cowardly pendejo Marco Rubio helped dictator-wannabe criminal Flavio Bolsonaro and his family flee from Brazil to the US after losing the election and says he will issue them visas. The MAGA regime won’t grant asylum to people fleeing war zones, but they’ll protect a terrorist. Got it.

All you have to do is take every time Trump uses “we” and change it to “I” or “me” to make it a factual statement.

Nine hours after the Court ruled, the ruling still is not on the Court's own website. Just a docket notation. That is the shadow docket in plain form: decisions about who can be deported, published whenever the Court feels like getting around to it.

Shows you how cheaply Ken Paxton could be bought compared to Abbott. His bribe was a kitchen remodel for his girlfriend.

JUST FILED: Judge demands answers about Trump’s rambling post about golf course youtu.be/JJiEcHGABcQ

If you believe Melania Trump negotiated a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, you're the reason "DO NOT EAT" labels are put on soap. If you believe Donald Trump is going to give you a check for $5,000 if Republicans win, you're the reason irons have "NEVER IRON CLOTHES WHILE BEING WORN" warnings.

I almost wish someone would nominate Melania for the Nobel Peace Prize just to watch Donnie first seethe then try and take credit for it.

Any town that agrees to host a Trump convention or rally that doesn't ask this notorious deadbeat for money in advance is ridiculously incompetent. Trump has stiffed MANY cities. It's a lesson he learned when he didn't pay his subcontractors during construction of buildings.

It's simple: Trump has broken every promise to America. No wars, Epstein, prices, gas. Now, Republicans are running from him in record numbers.

A 3-year-old soccer player named Nevada was reportedly dominating players two years older than him at a youth soccer game in Winter Park, Florida, when complaints from other parents escalated into a dispute involving league officials and police.

Even now, she's just terrible at talking on television; her awkward nervousness jumps off the screen. And look, there's no shame in not being good at it. But it really does make you wonder if there were people in the comms dept who knew she'd be a disaster but couldn't dissuade Trump.

Another indicator leading into the midterms: Fox’s Trump audience is fleeing, down 27 percent.

TED LIEU: "As a former prosecutor, I agree with the saying that any prosecutor 'can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich.' "So when the grand jury refused to indict Cassidy Hutchinson, that means there was no real evidence. Another huge embarrassment for the corrupt Todd Blanche."

Before we all move on, can I just say that this patriot’s declaration made me laugh out loud?

Astute observation. A serial rapist not only shouldn’t be clutching the levers of power, he shouldn’t be free to roam the streets.

If you want to understand Jim Comey’s argument that the Information (it’s not an indictment) against him should be dismissed, I lay it out for you, with statutes and the caselaw, here. (Also, there is a chicken). joycevance.substack.com/p/another-re...

Russia’s Ukraine war could end immediately if the Russians just got the hell out.

Hero!

Lubbock County voted for President Trump by 40 points. Tonight 4,000 people showed up at our rally. Texans are ready for change.

Seeing how little coverage that house report that added another rape accusation to Trump's tally got today, I looked back on just the front page Benghazi stories (there were many, many more inside over these months).

DETAILS (as predicted): FT: Residents of Oleshky who want to evacuate to Ukrainian-controlled territory will first be taken to Crimea or Russia. Zelenskyy warned about exactly this scenario. My take: Russia will do a propaganda movie about people “saved” (not starved) by RU, amplified by DC.

🤔 replies 👏

This guy is now head of Policy Planning at the State Department. After being responsible for the deaths of millions, he has failed up for sure.

But of course…..Trump is pulling out the stops to help Putin. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/u...

Talarico: "If you've seen an attack ad on your TV, that was Elon. If you've gotten lies in your mailbox, that was Elon. If you've received a text message saying scary things about me with scary black and white photos. That was Elon too."

❗️❗️Bloomberg reported that the estimated gross value of Russia’s seaborne crude oil exports reached $2.76 billion in the week ending October 25, 2026—the highest weekly total since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. That figure rose by roughly $430 million from the prior week.

Nothing screams “The Aristocrats!” like having one frivolous DOJ prosecution interrupted by a DOJ lawyer informing the court that a grand jury declined to return an indictment in a wholly separate, even more frivolous prosecution.

Your daily reminder that progressive Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny is an American citizen and MAGA lunatic Nicki Minaj is not.
