Kushner took a $50 mn bribe from the Emiratis to orchestrate the firing of Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, according to Matt Cole's new book, Princes and Thieves, out today. To be clear, this is a serious felony, if true.

After tech companies were warned that data center expansion could cost Republicans competitive midterm elections, Fox News’ pro-data center coverage increased by 420%.

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

The key #Vote

Donald Trump's deployment of California's National Guard in Los Angeles was an unlawful and unconstitutional abuse of power. It was done over California’s objection — all in an effort to intimidate peaceful protestors advocating for immigrant rights.

House Majority PAC, which supports Democratic candidates, argues that the House battlefield is expanding in the final week of the midterms The group says the GOP-authored gerrymandering appears to be backfiring and opening up new opportunities to flip GOP seats

Bumatay, meanwhile, shows he should not be taken seriously from the opening paragraph of his embarrassing 35-page dissent. Compare the first page of the federal appeals court judge's dissent with the first page of the actual complaint filed in federal court by DOJ. Truly.

So basically someone told Trump today what Cheesecake Factory was, and it probably took a little while to explain to him that they aren’t local factories that make cheesecakes. But he probably still isn’t quite sure what they are.

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

Only felon got immunity

JUST IN: Judge Gleason in Alaska sounds deeply skeptical of DOJ's 11th hour lawsuit there to halt certification if Sen. Dan Sullivan loses. She grants Dems' motion for expedited consideration and notes DOJ waited four months to sue over the ballot. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

Remember when Ted Cruz and other Republicans swooned over Russian military ads to mock Biden and our “woke” troops? An estimated 1.5 million Russian casualties later, Ukraine is still standing. Turns out cosplay tough isn’t real tough

No. The charges are already time barred. Under the relevant statute of limitations, an indictment must be filed within 10 years of the offense, which allegedly occurred on October 5, 2016. This DOJ is out of control.

BREAKING: Judge Reyes has issued a preliminary injunction over the golf course and begins with this: "Rarely, if ever, has the United States Department of Justice urged a federal court not to believe the sitting President." ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

Not that long ago, three major lower-court rulings against the executive branch on three unrelated topics would’ve been a busy *month,* and outlets would’ve rushed to write up such a run of adverse rulings. Now, it doesn’t feel unusual when we get three on the same *day.* It’s all … exhausting.

Judge Reyes is fresh outta fucks this day. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

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.

The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.

this may come as a huge shock to some of you, be sure you are seated before you read on: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/w...

Bill Maher said “fuck you” and called us bitches for being upset he dined with Trump. Then Trump tore into Maher on Truth Social calling him a lying, losery coward. That’s funny to me.

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.

Evidence "shows that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club," according to a new report from the House Judiciary Dem staff. The report also reveals for the first time Beatrice Keul's account of allegedly having been raped by Trump. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

And then he stiffed them!

🚨BREAKING: We have moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Trump from continuing to unconstitutionally impose themselves upon election administration procedures that the Constitution and federal law assign to the States.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

BREAKING: the 9th Circuit REJECTED the DOJ’s desperate attempt to prevent 20,000 votes from being counted in CA Tomorrow, @democracydefendersfund.org @campaignlegal.org NAACP & @lulacorg.bsky.social address the merits head-on in District Court This is a major win for voters in CA & everywhere! -TN

Since I’ve engaged in a few exchanges about this. Let me say a few things about this. First of all this genuinely happens a lot. And it goes back decades. Another commenter reminded of a case back in 2004. I think there’s a key dynamic involved.

Asked how he felt about President Trump suggesting he would have to go through a metal detector, Abdul El-Sayed joked, "He knows I got those Wolverine claws." Mercado Media

Robert's Right ✅️.......

A patriot speaks out on behalf of all of us.

Kind of crazy that the plan here was apparently for Trump to somehow steal the election for them

Wow! I was not expecting that.

Apparently there's an Attorney-Client dispute in SPLC. Reminder that DOJ has violated Jim Comey's Attorney-Client privilege twice, that we know of, and I suspect, a third time. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: Appeals court rejects DOJ’s request for quick action in California voting case. On a 2-1 vote, the Ninth Circuit held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the appeal now. Instead, a previously set TRO hearing at the district court should proceed on Tuesday. Tonight, at Law Dork:

"Young mayor gets caught using police gym for pickup basketball" is the plot of a kids movie where the mayor is the hero

I appreciate that Oliver spent his whole show basically testing the Ellisons tolerance for dissent.

This emoluments lawsuit includes a citation to an article I wrote at @forbes.com —

In speeches, Obama hit Trump on gas prices and a war nobody asked for. Hours later, Trump bragged at a rally that the country is making a fortune on oil and he doesn’t give a damn what people pay at the pump. Interesting strategy. My write-up in the link in the comments.

Housing costs are reaching record highs, putting even more strain on families already struggling with rising prices. That’s why I helped write and pass the ROAD to Housing Act that will make housing more affordable for veterans, renters, first-time homebuyers, and families across Virginia.

So when you’re paying hundreds more for gas per month, remember: The President doesn’t give a damn.

Donnie didn't like that one bit.
