One for the history books here

Raskin: "When historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump."

These people need to understand that cowardly Republican senators voting "no" is not a reason for inaction. He is guilty of many crimes. So, impeach him, immediately, for his many crimes and make those cowards stand on their vote.

Just a casual reminder that Germans who “didn’t bother to vote” in 1932 didn’t get a chance again until 1946, after Hitler’s death. — There’s a lesson there.

can you confirm receipt @patrickhealynyt.bsky.social?

He's such a phony. His wife's name was Usha Chilukuri when they met. His in-laws names are Radhakrishna and Lakshmi Chilukuri. He was married in a Hindu ceremony presided over by a Hindu priest.

The conspiracy theories the Right came up with about the Clintons and Obama and Biden are absolutely true of Trump and Kushner and the rest of the ilk… every accusation has been a confession. Every damn one.

I really did not expect the conservative embrace of Cheesecake Factory like they’ve loved it the whole time - your beloved Cheesecake Factory was forged in Beverly Hills, baby, you are pretenders to the cheesecake

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Average Trump scandal: many people dead after uncontroversial government program illegally cut by doge for nonexistent savings Average mamdani scandal: he’s playing BASKETBALL with his FRIENDS

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

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.

Trump: "Can you imagine standing here 15 years ago and talking about the transgender mutilization? Everybody would say 'this politician is crazy'"

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.

Will anyone—anyone at all—ask Trump about the rape allegations published in an official report by the House Judiciary Democrats? Or will he continue to escape accountability for his violence?

…the odds of 25 independent sexual assault allegations all being false is about 1 in 105 sextillion.

Just a little back of the envelope math: Most research finds the rate of SA reports determined to be false after investigation to be 4-6 percent. Many can’t be conclusively proven or disproven, so let’s even imagine it might be as high as 12%. Applying that rate to Trump…

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

I'd love to talk to some queer Texas voters, voters from outside Houston/Dallas/Austin and especially voters from South Texas, about what it's like to participate in this election. Do you feel represented? Are the issues you care about being talked about enough? Get in touch!

In case facts still matter

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

The Brazilian left's big win is a blueprint for taking on the far-right, and shows up Democrats in the U.S. who appear ready to botch the next presidential election in two years. Read the full piece by @alonso-gd.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/lulas-incr...

Sorry to respond to a meme, but this is in part a local news issue. Nobody's covering zoning board and city council meetings until it's way too late. Obviously, government capture by rich guys and corrupt local officials is the main reason, but the prophylactic is local news.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Be prepared for very bad, very racist, likely deadly things to happen viz Palestinians as Bibi feels his power very seriously threatened in the next couple of days.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Franklin D. Roosevelt: "The only thing we have to fear is, fear itself." John F. Kennedy: "Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country." Donald Trump: “I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before: Nicki Minaj. That's hard to miss."

Trump's DOJ told a judge how to rule. Then it pulled her from court. Karen Donoso Stevens' allegations, which she's sharing publicly because of her deep concern for the court's integrity, were corroborated by contemporaneous notes as well as colleagues, family and attorneys interviewed by WaPo.

I can't understand how anyone Jewish can vote for THIS guy....

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE EVEN DOING???

I'm quite willing to forgive this from a 27-year-old. Welcome to adulthood! A little late to it but happy you're here regardless.

Ramaswamy may have pulled his horrible ad featuring Amy Acton's mother, but it doesn’t erase that he publicly punished Acton for the horrible cards she was dealt, which is parents who provided an unsafe, unstable home. His moral compass does not exist and he’s unfit to lead Ohio.

In other news, just came back from Cambodia and Vietnam, two countries who have suffered and endured so much due to US imperial warmongering, but the people are so welcoming and friendly. Also, pho will never bee the same again.

Trump is now claiming that Jon Husted is one of the greatest football players ever

Obama: Folks say, 'Well, Abdul didn't like some of the things you did as president.' We are not gonna agree on every detail of every issue. You know who else didn't agree with everything I did? Michelle Obama. I'd say about 5 times a day she's like, 'You knucklehead! Why you do that?'

Trump claimed he heard Obama's event in Michigan today was empty. Meanwhile, the venue was packed, lines stretched outside, and Obama even addressed an overflow room because everyone couldn't fit inside. Mercado Media

The new Santorum.

not sending their best

Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'We're making trillions of dollars. But my people said 'please don't mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher'... we're making a frickin' fortune"

He's going to get people murdered.

😬 Trump sounds like hell during bizarre pre-rally gaggle 😬 Trump could barely speak, but what he said was nutso. He claimed his uncle invented radar, said he could "violate" Prizker and send troops into Chicago, and had a weirdly contradictory answer when asked who he golfed with today. Supercut:
