RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

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...

These are rhetorical questions, right?

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social

Will anyone—anyone at all—ask Trump about the rape allegations published in an official report by the House Judiciary Democrats? Or will he continue to escape accountability for his violence?

Wonder if Comey regrets absolutely torpedoing Hilary Clinton right before the election in 2016. That email server? What a joke compared to the shit Trump and his cronies do every day. Karmic.

The Trump administration has brought a third criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey, this time accusing the longtime target of President Donald Trump of unlawfully transmitting national defense information to the press a decade ago. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

this answer about what issues matter to him from a college student waiting in line at the Trump rally wasn't what the Fox correspondent expected to hear. She moved on with swiftness

There is still quite a bit of the century to go before someone should make that call.

What's Donald's next award? "Better Christian Than Jesus, Donald J. Trump"? "More Handsome Than Cary Grant, Donald J. Trump"? "Most Smartest than Albert Einstein, Donald J. Trump"? "Better Golfer AND MORE HUGELY ENDOWED than Arnold Palmer, Donald J. Trump"?

It's not a democracy when one man's obscene wealth and consequential outsize influence enables him to buy an election.

NEW: Elon Musk gave his super PAC $76 million in just two weeks of October, and more than half of its new candidate spending went to one race: the Texas Senate fight against James Talarico. He’s now given more than $445 million this cycle, far more than he spent electing Trump.

Major victory for our democracy. Kudos to those who (again) dug their heels in against an attempt to hide what should never be hidden: the actions of criminals. @adriaanbasson.bsky.social 🥂 SSA capitulates: Media, civil society win access to Dlomo state capture trial www.news24.com/investigatio...

NEW: Last week, Elon Musk capped the speeds at which Ukrainian hardware could stay connected to a military-grade version of Starlink, “rendering some offensive drones and interceptor drones virtually useless.” Gift link to article here: www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

Oh good. We'd love for Trump's little Iranian misadventure to become even more costly and disruptive to the rest of the world. I mean, why would we not?

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

The DA's challenge in Cape Town is symptomatic of the choice is has to make. White middle class supporters are pushing back against any City initiative that brings in low cost housing, etc. And they cannot gain voters unless they start doing more of this. The PA and Good feeding on this.

What a powerful rebuttal of Christian fundamentalism and how it is poisoning American (GOP and conservative) politics. Well worth a listen.

Trump: "You know how much money we're taking out of Venezuela? Hundreds of billions of dollars we're taking out of Venezuela"

And Musk, in a fit of pique, slows Starlink down. Spiteful toddler costing real lives. Should pay a price for that cruelty.

Elon obviously not really bothered by the Epstein files.

Musk is a cruel heartless fuckwit of a human. We'd be better off without his malignant presence on this earth. Wish his Mars dream had already come true.

⚡️️️️️️️Musk suggested Trump restrict Ukraine's Starlink service, Telegraph reports. Four sources familiar with the discussion said that Elon Musk approached U.S. President Donald Trump with the idea of slowing down Ukraine's Starlink service on the battlefield.
