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...

So the list is double hearsay?

BREAKING NYT: The Trump Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into Corey Lewandowski over accusations that he personally profited from his role as a top adviser to the Department of Homeland Security, according to two officials with knowledge of the situation.

nytimes.comJustice Dept. Opens Inquiry Into LewandoskiThe details of the inquiry remain unclear, but it is one of the rare instances in which a Trump ally or appointee has been investigated for potential wrongdoing during the president’s second term.

ICE agents tackled a U.S. citizen riding his bike, tased him, and broke his arm. Note the reaction from Trump’s attorney. No contrition. No sympathy for the victim. Just ire for the congressman who had the audacity to criticize the agents.

This is great! 👇

At 10am Judge Ana Reyes will begin an evidentiary hearing in the golf course case at 10am. I'll try to live-blog from the US Courthouse media room for @lawfaremedia.org . This is a case to stop Trump from converting a historic public golf course, open to all, to a Trump style championship course.

Not only does she misrepresent the content of the exchange, she sides with the bigot who refuses to acknowledge the Constitution’s protections of and from religion.

BREAKING: Judge Reyes grants a TRO in the East Potomac Golf Course case, barring any tree felling through 10/26 & requiring three-business-day notice of any modification. She earlier moved today's 9:30a hearing to next Monday & set a PI briefing schedule, so we knew something like this was coming.

Curious as to what you think. Should all the journalists walk out and stop covering the White House? That would leave all the right wing nuts there, and I think it would be what Trump wants. But what kind of coverage can he get if the majors aren't there? Regardless, everyone should sue. Thoughts?

i'm not over Alito saying we shouldn't count ballots that are mailed on or before Election Day but arrive shortly afterwards bc they can “radically flip” the “apparent outcome” cannot stress enough that, until all ballots are counted, there's no outcome to flip! ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/alito...

Dr Oz and kooky Fox Business host Taylor Riggs push vaccine skepticism: "We were told in April 2020 that if you got hit by a car but you also happened to have covid, they considered that a covid death. With the measles outbreak in Pennsylvania, are you dying with measles or from measles?"

I think Mueller proved it. I just think he also believed that Congress would then do its duty. Oops.

Letting Trump’s WH Ballroom go forward, SCOTUS majority misleads from the 1st sentence, calling it a “federal govt” project. But it's not. It's a Trump project. That's why it’s illegal. He failed to get Congress’s permission. The 4 dissenters (at right) correct the record, also in 1st sentence. 1/3

The solution is not to run petting-the-cute-animals harder the solution is to recognize that the constitution says "cases" and "controversies" not "concrete snd partlcularized injuries and not ones created by Congress because fuck those losers in Congress" which is basically the doctrine

The Trump administration has filed 36 emergency applications since last February, which have generated 31 conclusive rulings. In those 31 rulings, the Court has voted *for* Trump in whole or in part 27 times (87.1%), and against him four times (12.9%). Here's a chart covering all of these rulings:

Shapiro: When he sits behind the desk in the Oval Office, making $2.2 billion off his corruption for him and his kids, it costs you money. When he sits behind that desk, he’s not thinking about how to put money in your pocket. He’s thinking about how to put money in his own pocket.

WELKER: Do you think democratic socialists have a place in the Democratic Party? VAN HOLLEN: Yes they do as part of the debate. I think that those in the Dem Party who are afraid of a healthy debate are missing the point, because Democratic voters do not want a return to the pre-Trump status quo

THIS. Yesterday, when Hakeem Jeffries was baited by corporate media about the DSA, he decided to talk trash about fellow democrats. Here, AOC doesn’t take the bait and instead, pivots to the real problem: the Republican platform.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

The distinction matters & AOC is clear… QUESTION “Are you still a member of the Democratic Socialists of America?” REP AOC “The New York City chapter, not the national.” Every DSA chapter isn’t the national DSA. They’re decentralized & local chapters can have very different politics & priorities.
