Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States.

JS: Seems as if the US is relying on data from outside the federal government. Did you purchase a private list of CA voter rolls?
DOJ: no, but we were supplied a list that was purchased from California. 21/
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.
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.
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.
BREAKING
The BBC subpoenaed Jack Smith for a deposition to defend itself against Trump's defamation lawsuit.
Smith didn't object to the subpoena.

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.
This doesn’t include the costs of the missiles, the deployments, the killed and injured service members… and it’s only for US households, not other countries’.

Trump has said the Iran war is almost over at least 60 times. It's been 212 days. 19 service members are dead, 800+ wounded, $43 billion gone.
We counted every broken promise with @votevets.org.
federal immigration agents beat up a US citizen in Evanston on Sunday morning and left him lying in the street
or as Kavanaugh would put it, he experienced as "brief investigative stop"

JUST IN: A federal judge has tossed the defamation lawsuit by Cassidy Hutchinson's former lawyer, Stefan Passantino, against MSNBC commentator Andrew Wesissman.

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!

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?"
BREAKING: We won! And we get discovery into this crazy demolition threat to boot. Kudos to our wonderful client @repbeatty.bsky.social and to my colleagues at DDF and WLG. Formal statement to follow.
No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.
NEW: DHS's Inspector General releases a scathing report about the Everglades detention camp known as "Alligator Alcatraz." The OIG finds that the now-closed camp, violated multiple ICE standards.
The OIG also confirms detainees were punished with placement in a metal cage in the Florida heat.🧵
Let's remember that even after Don Jr released his own emails to a Russian official that he agreed to take info on Hillary Clinton in order to win, especially if it happened in the fall, we can't "prove" Russian collusion
NEW: The federal prosecutor who charged ICE agent Christian Castro for lying about shooting Sosa-Celia has now been FIRED. He objected to the DoJ stopping him from charging a civil rights violation. And now he’s fired. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-min...
While hardworking Americans are struggling to pay for food, housing, and healthcare and American service members are putting their lives on the line—this guy is over here building an arch to himself in front of Arlington National Cemetery.
Disgraceful.
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.

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.
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.
“A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace, according to a new preprint study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.”
