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.

Amanda Marcotte@amandamarcotte.bsky.social

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."

Watch this with Trump at his side, remember the dissents in the birthright citizenship case — www.lawdork.com/p/six-opinio... — and understand there are no limits, no places they wouldn’t go.

Rally speaker: "Mike Rogers is an American. Abdul has a birth certificate. The birth certificate says he's a citizen of America. You know what? a birth certificate doesn't make you an American."

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

If you’re thinking of buying an Audi, don’t forget that an Audi executive appeared at a Trump rally this weekend to try to boost an American dictatorship. Make your car-buying decision accordingly.

No, he called them shitHOLE countries. He doesn't remember what he (famously) called them, because his brain is Swiss cheese

Trump: "Libya, Hemen, Haiti, Somalia -- remember what I called them? Shit house countries."

"Rubio’s speech lamented modern Europe’s loss of fire, passion, and courage, omitted any mention of Ukraine—surely a shining modern-day example of fighting spirit and heroic sacrifice. Nor did it say a word about Russia’s campaign of sabotage and subversion." open.substack.com/pub/theunpop...

This cop chased two women who had allegedly shoplifted diapers; gun drawn. When the mother lifted up Kohen to show the cop she had a baby in the car, he fired - killing the baby. Shoplifting charges were never filed. Mississippi ruled the shooting “justified”.

Now prosecute him‼️ Resignation is not accountability. #JusticeForKohenWiley

NEW: Denver Archbishop James Golka leads a prayer for President Trump, alongside Trump’s faith advisor Paula White, who called the Black Lives Matter movement the anti-Christ and suggested Christians will have to answer to God if they don’t vote for Trump

This work by Félix Vallotton was on the cover of the satirical weekly newspaper Le Cri de Paris on January 23, 1898 - it was a reaction of immediate support for Émile Zola's famous J'accuse! letter after Captain Alfred Dreyfus had been found guilty of treason.

Aaron deserves ALL the birthday drinks! 👇🏻

It's my birthday so I'm taking the evening off and skipping the Trump rally in South Carolina. I really appreciate all the kind birthday wishes -- they really mean a lot 🥹 And if you'd like to buy me a birthday drink you can do so here. Thank you!

Gov. Bill Lee’s voucher scam, which will divert $1.3B of public dollars to private schools in the next five years, was spared by the GOP’s rigged chancery court process. Public schools receive less state 💰 per student. Under Republicans, TN’s public schools have the worst per capita funding in 🇺🇸

I hope I’m wrong, but I feel like Blanche opened this investigation to prevent discovery in any state probes like NM, or to prevent having to release any files due to an “open and ongoing investigation.” www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

It's not that they're all attracted to kids, it's that it's ideologically important to them that children and women are the property of men.

Reports from Burlington’s ICE facility are deeply troubling. A pregnant woman banged on her cell door for help after days in pain. Another woman was denied medication. The facility was meant to hold them for hours, not days or weeks. We need an independent investigation.

OMG yes? And the fact that ideologically co-opted outlets like the Chronicle *continue to try to make this point controversial* highlights how far we’ve been Overton-windowed into entertaining practices that are, in the humanities anyway, antithetical to the entire concept of scholarship

I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.

😳 Trump loses it and SNAPS at a string of reporters, says Ilhan Omar might "go to jail," calls Somalia "a shit house," and boasts that thanks to a new program he announced today Americans "will make millions of dollars by turning others in" during absolutely deranged Oval Office event Supercut:

The fact that Amy Acton was removed from her mother’s care and went on to obtain an MD and flourish in public health makes her even more of a hero in my eyes. This type of trauma never really goes away. Yet when there was a fork in the road, she chose the one where she helps others. Hero.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Wait, this can't be true -- several very serious doomers on this site told me that House Democrats would never ever dream of doing this.

Democrats are preparing to investigate Musk if they win control of the House in November, Politico reports. Potential probes would focus on his DOGE leadership, federal job cuts, alleged data breaches, government contracts and Starlink’s role in Ukraine.

Texas is only 37% non-Hispanic white, the 5th-lowest proportion of any state. Texas Republicans have gone all-in on racism this election, and it might work in the short term. Or maybe not. But it is definitely a bad strategy for the longer term as their state gets more diverse literally by the day.

Ted Cruz's former intern and organizer for the largest conservative youth summit in Texas has just confirmed he voted for James Talarico.

Incentivizing Trump voters to call in their suspicions about about black and brown people? What's the worst that could happen?
