Astonishing: Maxwell was willing to tell Blanche about some of Trump's rapes, and he ordered her not to. "Let's not talk about inviduals." WTF were they there to talk about? There's EVIDENCE on this.

Amanda Marcotte@amandamarcotte.bsky.social

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

Ramaswamy is a sick, morally bankrupt piece of shit exploiting a woman’s rape at age 12 to win an election. He gave her estranged, abusive mother a platform to weaponize her childhood trauma. There is something profoundly fucking wrong with this man. He has no business holding public office. 🤬

NEW AD: “Ken Paxton says I don't have his experience — and he's right. I’ve never been indicted for fraud. I’ve never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I’ve never been impeached by my own party. And I’ve never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.”

Polling shows Democrats could win 53–54 Senate seats — but control is still too close to call. This comes down to turnout. Period. Every Democrat needs to show up and vote like our lives, our rights, and our democracy depend on it — because they do. No complacency. No sitting this one out. VOTE.

if you vote for any Republican on the ballot this year, then you just don't get the moment we are in. Splitting your ticket at this point only serves to empower the attacks on our democracy and constitution.

Unacceptable. Meta took down the No Kings Instagram today and kept it offline for well over an hour. Censoring free speech to appease Donald Trump? We the people deserve answers, but regardless, we will not be silenced.

I’m leading an effort with @repjimcosta.bsky.social and my fellow Co-Chairs of the Ukraine Caucus to make sure the United States delivers on the Russian sanctions we promised. We must continue defending Ukraine and enforce the law we just passed a few weeks ago. Read more below.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.

Heads up: The Russian government has been targeting Americans with covert online disinformation operations seeking to undermine public confidence the midterms — using a familiar playbook in an attempt to inject chaos into the voting season, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

What did we learn from the Supreme Court's three-sentence Monday night ruling leaving on hold the Trump administration's effort to interfere with mail-in voting? Quite a lot, as it turns out—and at least some of it is good: www.stevevladeck.com/p/250-what-w...

$165 million a year in taxpayer contracts to run detention camps, then $1.4 million flows straight back to Trump’s super PAC the next month.

the definition of a reflecting pool is that it is a "shallow, still body of water designed to mirror what is adjacent". so the DC reflecting pool today is mirroring our current President and his administration and the GOP leadership in DC. If you want to clean that up, vote out every Republican.

Since taking office, Ken Paxton has become a multi-millionaire while our pay has stagnated. He owns 11 homes while most Texans can’t afford one. He trades favors with rich donors while blocking overtime pay for workers. Paxton doesn’t serve us — he serves himself.

Yes, "court packing" has long been a misused term. It applies more accurately to the longstanding GOP scheme to pack the Court with partisans and idealogues. Reforms are needed to unpack the current, tightly packed, Supreme Court.

I think @stevevladeck.bsky.social is absolutely right that the way to defeat the Terrorist Slush Fund is via politics. But I think you START impeachment w/Blanche. 25 GOP Senators spoke up (in private) yesterday. 25+47-Fetterman = 71. Better yet, INCLUDE the dismissal of the Sedition verdicts NOW.

America's chief Middle East negotiator - Jared Kushner - is almost completely dependent on Middle East government investment in his chief business. It's probably the biggest conflict of interest in American diplomatic history and we should be talking about this way more.
