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.

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

Why does the Trump DOJ continue to hide the unredacted Epstein Files? Todd Blanche won’t even cooperate with the New Mexico Attorney General @nmdoj.bsky.social

In another act of obstruction of justice, the Trump DOJ continues to refuse to cooperate and turn over unredacted Epstein files to New Mexico AG, Raúl Torrez, as he conducts the only state criminal investigation. I analyze the details of AG Torrez’s letter to Todd Blanche: youtu.be/i7MDVk5UeVA?...

NEWS --> Three men who were in the van with the victim of the ICE shooting in Texas are potential witnesses, but they're now under pressure to self-deport, a rep for the families tells me. They remain in detention even as ICE's story falters. Details in this piece: newrepublic.com/article/2129...

ICE desperately wants you not to care about this story But we must. The killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national striving for his American Dream, is a moral outrage, and a warning. ICE hopes you won't notice that mass deportation is back My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Josh Hokit is the perfect representative of Trumpism: a thuggish, semi-literate lout who trash talks and pukes on himself. A piece of shit, admired by pieces of shit, celebrating being a piece of shit.

If there is a physical symbol of the contempt billionaires feel for ordinary Americans, it is the infestation of noisy, resource-sucking, electricity-ravening data centers that support a product those billionaires hope will replace hundreds of thousands of middle-class workers.

How clueless is the billionaire class and their back-pocket politicians about Americans' fury over ugly, polluting data centers in their backyards? They have their terrorism cops spying on citizen activists, while claiming that dissent is a Chinese op My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/data...

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

WIN: A GOP provision in New Hampshire that would have made voting more difficult is unconstitutional and would have required voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship to register, an “unjustifiable burden on the right to vote,” a federal judge ruled.

Note that Vought and his cronies really do seem to believe that you can basically just destroy America as it is, wreck it absolutely to the ground, and just kind of… start over, only more right wing this time, without losing anything.

This opinion is soon going to be recognized universally: Trump is the most notorious criminal in modern history. Not since Hitler has any leader of a country plundered, pillaged, and personally enriched himself so obscenely, while giving ZERO fucks to the rule of law.

Andrew Paul Johnson was arraigned in a Florida court in October on multiple charges, including molesting a child as young as 11 years old. Johnson dangled the prospect that one of the children could receive money bc...he was entitled to $10 million as part of reparations for his January 6 arrest.

Chief Justice Roberts says the court isn't political. This week, six justices "read" 107 pages of legal briefing in 38 minutes and let Alabama gerrymander its congressional map mid-election. The stopwatch says otherwise.

If you're a producer for a cable news show, you should have a tight two-minute montage with a sampling of the many times Donald Trump has encouraged political violence, just waiting for the inevitable Republican guest who tries to pretend Democrats are the real problem here.

"Do you regret your heated rhetoric?" "No. Do you regret your chilled rhetoric? Do you regret sitting on the sidelines as norms fell away and so many laws were broken? Do you regret pretending like this was all normal and you alone were savvy enough to see that Both Sides Are To Blame?"

Anyone who shows up for this travesty is knowingly choosing to act as a prop for authoritarian kabuki because they’re too cowardly or amoral to pass up vapid schmoozing and free drinks. They deserve your contempt, and possibly a few pieces of rotting produce.

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

Wise words from Spain's Prime Minister: “The momentary relief cannot make us forget the chaos, the destruction, and the lives lost. The govt of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket. What is needed now: diplomacy, international law and PEACE.”
