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

691 words about Cheesecake. 434 words about rape.

Trump and Republicans are restarting their voter fraud misinformation machine ahead of the midterms. When I checked, Republican candidates were implicated in voter fraud at up to 38,000x the public’s rate. If they were actually worried about voter fraud, they’d start with their own candidates.

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

There was a brand new allegation that the president raped a woman in the 1990s yesterday and it appears to not be on the NYT homepage at all right now

It is short and so I assume they are looking into things but it is... interesting... that the NYT piece on the new House Dems report on Trump ties to Epstein simply does not mention the brand new rape allegation and says whatever this is instead www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

Bolsonaro had planned to flee to Argentina right before his passport was confiscated

Where we are as a country www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/u...

One of the most important financial stories out there if you want to know how and why the same five evil guys wind up owning everything.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

🚨 LEAKED: In a fundraising appeal, Mike Rogers told potential donors, "When you stand with my Senate campaign today, you are directly shielding Elon Musk" from potential investigations into the harm caused by DOGE cuts. Rogers asked for donations so he could "protect Elon."

he saw an ottoman in the crowd and lost his train of thought it happens

This will go down as one of the most incredible screwups in recent campaign history, and it happened because brain-fried Republicans like Ramaswamy can't imagine that voters don't actually want politicians to be gigantic assholes. My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/vivek-rama...

He is so close to getting it

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.

"amplify your people" is 100% the best strategy

At least 52 maternity wards have closed since Trump signed off on the largest Medicaid cut in history.   No mother should have to travel farther for lifesaving treatment because Republicans prioritized tax breaks for billionaires over healthcare.   They should be ashamed.

Sub any previous new technology for AI in this warning. "Concerns have been raised that [airplanes, cars, cell phones, CAT scans, polio vaccines] could pose catastrophic or existential risks to humanity." All are subject to some regulation. Not regulate AI? Have we lost our effing minds??

Daaaaaamn

One of the wildest things from the past week was everybody that was actually *in* Paris repeatedly saying, "Dude, everything's fine. It's business as usual. Look at this old piece of art," and a bunch of people that have never left Beaver county trying to tell you it was actually Thunderdome.

Page 46: ".. models, including our own, have exhibited .. unexpected strategic or self-preserving behaviors, including attempts to resist shutdown, .. or generate outputs that could be interpreted as coercive, deceptive, or manipulative, including behavior resembling blackmail .."

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.

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Something that's not being said. The REASON why Blanche and Bill Essayli are so defiantly violating the Constitution is bc John Roberts said they can't be prosecuted so long as they're following Trump's illegal orders. Blanche's criminality arises DIRECTLY out of Trump v. US.

Check out how easy this is.

I saw we recuse all justices who presided over Trump v. US, since they authorized Trump to break the law in this way. Meaning, the 9th C should decide.

Roberts *explicitly* stated that POTUS has immunity even for directing a “sham” prosecution or one with an improper purpose or motivation. He can also promise to pardon anyone who follows his orders. As AG says, what’s the downside, for anyone?

So in a huge surprise to absolutely no one, it turns out that NIH director Jay Bhattacharya's new journal based on the premise of letting his friends and only his friends publish essentially whatever they want is full of crackpot nonsense from retired cranks.

If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

3 out of 300 polled for a Michigan statewide race would be a poll of 100,000 people.

you know, i think this guy might be bad at the law bsky.app/profile/atru...

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

This woman has been protecting a pedophile for so long she ended up looking like one.

"temporarily high"

“People are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. Were making a frickin’ fortune.”

probably you shouldn’t say that yeah

OBAMA: They can't hear your boos. They'll hear your vote

Remember when Media & Political Elite promised US that Trump was tapping into “economic anxiety” not racism?

Commitas beatupus.

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

Good start.

Trump said he had to takeover Greenland to keep China and Russia out. And then he snuck Russia onto the North Slope. Literally just ... inviting them in. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...
