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.

Who do I give to to get this in front of as many Michigan voters as possible?

Republicans, they're not like us.

Republicans are the party of rape.

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...

We fought a war over this. 1 of every 30 Americans died. And then we amended the Constitution to add “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States”

This chart is insane. This shows Russia's casualties over time compared to Russia's territorial gains in Ukraine over the last five years. No sane or rational person would say continuing the war to try and take more of Ukraine's territory is worth the casualties.

Comey: Well, they're back again. It would almost be funny if it weren't such an appalling abuse of the DOJ. One that we cannot become numb to. Nothing's changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid of these people. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.

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...

Jon Ossoff’s closing argument went in for the kill.

My post on what we know so far. emptywheel.net/2026/10/26/t...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) claims a legal doctrine that courts should avoid last-minute changes to election rules to avoid confusion isn’t relevant to its effort to bar California from counting the votes of 20,000 people on a list of alleged noncitizens. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

Administration has a real data manipulation problem: - DHS exaggerates immigrants who’ve left US - Patel's FBI pads crime stats - IRS hides tax cut data until after midterms - Census excludes immigrants www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

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.

I am a single issue voter, and my single issue is that I want to live in a democracy.

The same guy who endorsed tafoya in the strib today wrote that "70 percent of the teams in the NBA could fold tomorrow and nobody would notice a difference with the possible exception of increase in street crime." He's considered a moderate.

Host: It is fascinating that you're going to see Trump in Mississippi this evening. This is a very red state that the president won by over 20 points in 2024. But we are hearing a lot of anxiety from some Republicans. A GOP Super PAC, purchased $572,000 in ads in Mississippi since last week.

House Judiciary Democrats have released a 50-page report examining Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, including accounts involving 11 women and a new rape allegation that the White House denies. With just 8 days until the midterms, the report is raising explosive new questions.

Here Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin talk to me about working with Dem Appropriators to target Trump's corrupt prosecutions of Ilhan Omar and others with various defunding tactics. “We will actively and aggressively investigate this case,” Jayapal says. newrepublic.com/article/2171...

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.

Trump was "an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women in the 90s” according to a report issued today by Dems on the House Judiciary Committee. The report includes one new rape allegation against Trump, and calls for a special investigation of the Trump administration's cover-up.

House Judiciary Committee Democrats on Monday released a 52-page staff report accusing President Donald Trump of being "an active participant" in Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of young women in the 1990s, and accusing his Justice Department of covering it up.

@smith.senate.gov is right—ICE is STILL terrorizing residents in Minneapolis and cities all over the country. Stella Carlson, a witness to Alex Pretti’s killing, outlines why we need accountability. Oversight Dems are ready to rein in ICE and hold people accountable on DAY ONE.

This week’s installment of my Stop the Presses newsletter recalls the Republicans’ history of cheating in elections. They’ve often gotten away with it. Let’s make sure cheaters don’t prosper this time.

Iran wasn't running out of firepower. It was holding back. Now vessels are being sunk, missile tests are accelerating, and the scale of attacks is expanding dramatically. What we're witnessing should terrify Trump's war planners.

Michael McDonald, who does some of the best turnout analyses, shows that Dem and (especially) nonaffiliated voter turnout is up over 2022, while the GOP is down. michaelmcdonald.substack.com/p/florida-ea...

Just filed: new @knightcolumbia.org @mfia-clinic.bsky.social lawsuit challenging Trump's "policy and practice" of punishing members of the White House press corps whose reporting he views as “fake news." knightcolumbia.org/content/trum...

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

NEW: A federal judge has now ruled that former SDNY prosecutor, Maurene Comey, was UNLAWFULLY fired by the Trump DOJ. He orders her retroactive reinstatement and back pay. Comey alleged in her lawsuit that she was fired for politically motivated reasons. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/26/m...

Fascinating and horrifying: "t’s a classic authoritarian move, too, to kind of just run roughshod over every moral guardrail that’s out there. So once you get people desensitized, right, there really is no limits, right? Anything is on the table, every tactic is justifiable."

NEWS --> Dems are planning novel ways to wield power of the purse against Trump's corrupt prosecutions of critics like Ilhan Omar if they win House. Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin tell me a range of aggressive tactics will be deployed. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

Around 175 House Dems just called on Trump's DOJ and DHS to end "weaponization of law enforcement" against Rep Ilhan Omar. The letter is signed by numerous ranking committee Dems, showing depth of support for Omar in leadership and signaling how Dem House will act. newrepublic.com/article/2171...

Well this is eleventy-million kinds of Fucked Up. @latimes.com (who once contracted with me as a freelance reviewer and whom I struggled to get paid by) asserts that *merely reading its website* constitutes a permanent waiver of your right to sue it under *any circumstances*.

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

Leaders of the No Kings movement are already gearing up for the next major grassroots campaign: Making sure congressional Democrats don’t wimp out. My first piece at @newrepublic.com! (Reposted to update link card) newrepublic.com/article/2168...

El-Sayed: This is like the 3rd campaign stop where Donald Trump can't help but mention somebody's ass. When I get to DC, I'm just gonna make sure that I never let him see mine…

Today I wrote about Abdul El Sayed's encounter with a Christian fascist named "Tommy," and the fine art of digging up the shameful things fascists bury under their accusations, exposing them for what they are, and then burying their lies in the hole left behind. www.the-reframe.com/taking-our-c...

Adam Hamilton's complete answer on trans kids in sports is more nuanced than what's being discussed here. His full answer is that he doesn't want trans kids competing against his granddaughter "where she can be hurt or where there's an unfair advantage." Starts at 6:45 of this video.

Our taxpayer dollars have funded this white supremacist trillionaire who is using his winnings—some half a billion dollars—to try and shove Republican candidates down our throats and avoid investigation and prosecution. www.americaamerica.news/p/how-long-c...

They contradict Trump officials' insistence that — as required by law — immigration judges serve as independent arbiters of justice. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Trump's DOJ told a judge how to rule. Then it pulled her from court. Karen Donoso Stevens' allegations, which she's sharing publicly because of her deep concern for the court's integrity, were corroborated by contemporaneous notes as well as colleagues, family and attorneys interviewed by WaPo.

This is true. Qatar is widely believed to be the biggest financial backer of the Muslim Brotherhood.
