‘Shove That Ballroom Up Your Fat A$$’ It’s Tuesday. There is one week until Election Day. The brain worm butthead goes full racist, Democrats aren’t done with Epstein or his rapist best friend and Trump beats Biden — at high gas prices.
A sitting president had to pay $6 million this year to a woman he sexually abused and defamed and the White House press didn’t ask one single question about it.
1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

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."

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
New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...
I remember election night 2018, Carville was on msnbc falling for the red mirage. “There ain’t gonna be no wave.” Guess what happened next.
I’m not getting too excited about Democratic upsets in the big stretch races because I know no matter how good a night Democrats have there will be media pointing to the narrow losses as proof of a still “divided nation.”

Going Streaking It’s Monday. There are eight days until Election Day. Trump opens up the floodgates of racism, Obama comes out swinging and the right cries over Brazil.

It was disappointing that @60minutes.bsky.social, with all its resources and expertise, broke zero new ground on the Tina Peters story. The report was just a repetition of what local journalists reported long ago.
“You have to listen to what I say or else it’s not a fair conversation.”
BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history

The Ramaswamy campaign not only tried to capitalize on a child rape victim, they did it by using an old homeless woman who—while vile—is in no mental shape to adequately understand the stakes. And did they pay her? Either answer is bad.
Donna Arthur — aka Amy Acton’s estranged mother, and the person whose testimony Vivek Ramaswamy devoutly trusts — has been living with her cats, in a car, in a church parking lot, having declined housing assistance. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/u...
Really looking forward to this!

Maybe it makes me a credentialist, but I hate how we constantly elevate guys like Yglesias — who have no relevant education or work experience. In politics, he's never run for office, worked on a campaign or served as an appointee. On policy, he has a BA and has never worked in government.
A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

Horror Show Happy Friday. There are 11 days until Election Day. Elon buys the media, Todd Blanche needs to go to prison and Trump really is a pedo–protector.

Huh. Last month, NYT ran an article about Hinson trying to create distance from Trump: A Republican ‘Minivan-Driving Mom’ Swerves Away From the Trump Brand www.nytimes.com/2026/09/18/u...
Ashley Hinson praises Trump: "We have a president who actually listens. Who actually listens to us and helps us deliver those results to get things done. So I am so grateful to him for coming back to Iowa."

This is the ninth (9th) major profile of Emanuel since December 2024 that failed to mention Laquan McDonald.

I can’t believe Epstein’s best friend doesn’t care about child rape.
Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

This is a revealing moment about what drives the leadership at CBS News. It's not journalism, it's political ideology and it's right here for everyone to see. So stop with the nonsense that Bari Weiss hasn't changed CBS News or it's coverage when in reality she has damaged it beyond repair.
NEW: Over the past few days, there had been a growing call inside CBS News - even among some executives - for Jan Crawford to be suspended or even fired for her Abdul El-Sayed tweet. In the end, it was decided that the Bari Weiss fave would face no punishment. zeteo.com/p/amanpours-...

You might think AIPAC of all organizations would hesitate before accusing a political candidate of dual loyalty because of his religion and connection to a foreign country, but you would be wrong. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/u...
