House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

That was a very impressive and important win from the #Rapids96! Definitely felt like a playoff type win. Gives hope that if the Rapids could host the play-in, they might be able to win it.

I did a detailed analysis of the #Rapids96 playoff hopes and the schedules of the various contenders. Take home message: Rapids can potentially make it with two losses and two draws, but one win is really desirable to bolster their chances. Thoughts fam?

Nice seeing Sydney Wathuta in the top 10 for both total turns and best turn rate, and Luis Garcia on top of the set-up turn rate. Rapids 2 plays to keep an eye on.

At the request of @mattdoyle.bsky.social, turn data for MLSNP. I'll flag that 2nd on turn rate is 14 year old (now 15) Lucas Dawson of TFC2. Pretty damn nice.

For once I actually have a super ambitious Halloween costume that I am really excited about. AND I'm going to a Halloween party with a costume contest. I'm going to win that thing!

Rafa with another goal & assist. I caught flak from many C38s when I said he was the best striker the Rapids have ever had. I should have said 'most talented' but I stand by my words. It hurts seeing him do so well with St Louis, but it hurts even more knowing the Rapids were just holding him back.

47% of revenue from ‘seats and suites’ for MLS, and another 15% from concessions/parking/etc., for a total of 62% of revenue from GameDays. How much will that revenue drop for Northern Teams on the switch to the Fall-Spring calendar? Will the league do anything to help? Or are those teams fucked?

How do sports teams make money? It depends on the league

Steadiest/Heaviest on Wednesday night you say? Perhaps from 7:30-9:30 pm? Hmmmm... #Rapids96

Chris Bianchi@bianchiweather.bsky.social

Denver-area rain summary: A few showers tonight, steadiest/heaviest tomorrow night/Thursday AM. 0.5-1" of rain for most. Highest amounts likely west/north of Denver. #COwx

When oh when will a judge actually hold someone, anyone, in this administration accountable for flagrant disregard of court orders?!?

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social

BREAKING WaPo: A federal judge issued a temporary order Sunday blocking the Trump admin from airing those propaganda ads. But the administration blew past that deadline and ran two of the ads into the early hours of Monday, advertising data shows.

Again, compare this to the output of Whittaker. That extra $7 million buys consistency in danger AND production.

🇧🇷 Andre Luiz last five games: ⚽️ 7 goals 🅰️ 1 assist ⏰ 395 minutes

Well, so much for domination. Now the #Rapids96 NEED to lock things down and not just give up goals in bunches like they have so many times before...

Turns out the broadcast was incorrect before... but now Löic gets a silly yellow for knocking the ball away and delaying a restart. Poor yellow to take

Scott Hammond@srhammond.bsky.social

Turns out he did receive a yellow per the broadcast crew. Great start, 5' in...

#Rapids96 get a lucky break, though offside does look like the right call

Scott Hammond@srhammond.bsky.social

#Rapids96 are just completely incapable of defend simple balls in behind. Now they play from behind... and we know how well that works out

This! If they truly try to seize machines, ICE the polls, or blatantly subvert the will of voters then the ONLY answer is a compete strike and shut down of EVERYTHING. Get ready NOW.

kristinekenyon.bsky.social@kristinekenyon.bsky.social

Jfc, ppl. 😳 Vote early, AND ALSO be ready to grind everything to a halt in Nov if Republicans mess with our votes. We don’t have many options to stop them besides the courts, but a multi-day national strike killing the market is one thing GOP billionaires would HATE.

WTAF! FUCK Polis for making this possible.

Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social

NEW: As Colorado’s Tina Peters reportedly meets with President Trump to discuss an election “plan,” her attorney says the plan involves seizing ballots nationwide and discusses strategy for a potential civil war

I dunno if it was the first, but I saw Nightmare on Elm Street (the original) on TV as a young kid (maybe 8 or 9?) and it scared the bejeezus out of me.

Voter registration deadlines are SUNDAY in Alaska, Rhode Island, South Carolina. And MONDAY in: Arizona, Arkansas Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, and *Texas*. If you live in these states, verify your registration now, literally.

Fuck Newsom. The only reason he’s so good at fighting Trump is cause he’s a fucking creep like him.

Gwen C. Katz@gwenckatz.bsky.social

Things Gavin Newsom has vetoed this week: -A ban on secretly recording people with smart glasses -A ban on ICE agents working for the state government -A ban on websites selling your data -A bill giving native tribes more say over water rights -A bill protecting transgender healthcare providers

To recap: Republicans straight up lie any time they open their mouths

Susan Rinkunas@susanrinkunas.com

To recap: three GOP-led states that wanted the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade in order to "send abortion back to the states" are now asking the Court to strike down abortion protections in blue states

This right here. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt. That was never allowed to be acted upon. Every single person that prevented that should be tried and hung for treason.

Joe Walsh@walshfreedom.bsky.social

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Please, please, please check your voter registration status and make everyone you know do it too!

Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social

IMPORTANT: There are 15 states that require in-person registration 28–30 days before an election, meaning this maybe your last week to register. Check your registration at Vote.gov.

Absolutely bonkers lineup from the #Rapids96. I’m at a wedding and likely won’t be able to watch. Just win, baby. Looks like results elsewhere are putting the pressure on so Pids need maximum points to maintain their playoff position moving forward.

Wake up, it’s #Rapids96 GAMEDAY! Somehow, once again, the #Rapids96 cannot move out of 7th place, win lose or draw. But, a loss would put them ahead of LA Galaxy on just the total wins tiebreaker. A huge 6 pointer with a depleted roster. Time to show some grit!

This is yet another effort to subvert the will of the voters. Will the blue wave be enough to overcome these efforts?!?

State error in Texas creates huge backlog in voter registration applications as midterm voting nears. Riiiiiiiight. A “ convenient error”. More voter suppression in TX. 🚨
