The president has raped so many people that we have a pretty good sense of his MO. Maybe we should think about that.

The right can't seem to see the distance between "I just see trans people as people" and "I will force everyone to become trans whether they want to or not, so help me God"

Nobody's shocked that Jason Miller is the one posting Bolsonaro's refusal to concede. Trumpworld isn't just watching Brazil, they're coordinating. Same playbook, same people, different country. The authoritarian network is global, and it's poison.

Beatrice Keul, testified that she was introduced by Jeffrey Epstein to Donald J Trump, who then brutally raped her in a hotel room in Atlantic City, NJ, and her claims were deemed credible by a panel of the House Judiciary Committee today. The NYT has decided that this is not reportable news.

Breaking news: A federal judge barred the Trump administration from cutting, damaging or impairing any more trees at East Potomac Park without first obtaining a court order, challenging President Trump’s plan to remake the public golf course.

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.

Ummmmm

Trump’s presidency is a wealth transfer from the bottom to the top

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

@gtconway.bsky.social unloads on Trump, Vance, and Ramaswamy over the vile attack ad against Amy Acton. "These people are so infected with Trump's sociopathy that they actually turn down any possible opportunity they have to demonstrate to the world that they have any decency."

🔥 BEN MEISELAS ERUPTS: The Cheesecake Factory faux outrage exposes the propaganda machine. They brainwash Americans into fighting each other while oligarchs steal our healthcare, send our kids to endless wars, and buy more yachts. Divide the people. Enrich the oligarchs.

Huge headlines around the world. In major US media, unreported. Something's fishy here.

The rank bigotry and ignorance, of course, but also it's quite something to see the world's most talentless nepo baby failson saying somebody else isn't accomplished enough

He keeps hinting in his speeches that there are going to be some big surprises next week and a couple people in his administration are going to be remembered in history books. It seems like no one really knows what to do with that information so it’s just passing casually

I honestly was not sure if this was a new or recycled allegation, which says a lot about our President.

When Donald Trump launched his campaign, he was caught hiring paid actors to pad the audience. (I also happened to be the one that busted him doing so). www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

This resurfaces and again, highly credible and under-reported by the big political press: people.com/former-miss-...

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Even with all the levers of power he has his hands on, and even with control of every mechanism in the federal government, Trump has been unable to find election fraud. So he's crowdsourcing it now.

Great thread, especially the math at the end

Well, this will certainly be news to the Aldi’s frosted mini wheats I’m having for dinner.

It’s happening again. Because why wouldn’t it? Nobody was held accountable last time.

Ding ding fucking ding.

A 48-year-old detainee has died at the Folkston ICE facility in Georgia, sparking renewed outrage as the facility faces massive unrest and hunger strikes over horrific conditions. Advocates are demanding answers as the tragic death count in ICE custody continues to rise.

I know it’s really distasteful and dispiriting and gross to think about, but you won’t understand Trumpist politics or the status of women if you don’t understand that a lot of people aren’t just in denial about the prevalence of rape; they are affirmatively pro-rape.

House Democrats have released a 50-page report on the Epstein files cover-up—and it reveals a new rape allegation against Donald Trump. trib.al/DhClVZw

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

And we know Trump is a stickler about proper handling of national security information…

Why is Trump's DOJ refusing to release ALL of the Epstein files or prosecute the abusers identified in those files? Is it because the files keep implicating Trump? We need a special prosecutor to get to the truth.

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

It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.

Republicans, they're not like us.

Yes, please.

From my read so far, most of the U.S. press does not often qualify this administration with the "corrupt" label in stories that quite evidently call for it. But time will show there was no other to qualify what this government is doing, just as @vermontgmg.bsky.social writes here.

Fascinating and horrifying: "t’s a classic authoritarian move, too, to kind of just run roughshod over every moral guardrail that’s out there. So once you get people desensitized, right, there really is no limits, right? Anything is on the table, every tactic is justifiable."

The contradiction between professing to care about protecting girls from sexual predators and grinning at things like Ramaswamy's ad "is a microcosm of the broader Trump agenda: professing support for the vulnerable while shielding their abusers."

In case facts still matter

This is one good example of how appropriations hardball can work if you're willing to not blink first. Another: take your pick for demands and restrictions on funding Executive Office of the President. Yes, literally defund the White House. EOP is the central hub of the assault on the Constitution.

HHS wants a new Medicare code that pays doctors extra only when they attribute a patient’s symptoms to a vaccine. Vaccine critics say doctors are paid to push vaccines. We aren’t. Under this code, we’d be paid to blame them. My new piece in @cidrap.bsky.social: www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

This is why Trump just said at his rally that he doesn’t care about high gas prices because people who own stakes in the oil and gas industry are getting rich.

this is total gobbledygook? the process to decide who should be certified as the winner is the election, and there is no federal law that says the courts get to decide who that is.

Gaslighting 101: The AG is literally calling us crazy for thinking Trump will use the levers of government power to overturn the results of an election, when he has a documented history of doing just that. That’s tyranny.
