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

Also on TrumpJr's Mongolia junket: Arthur Martirosov, a leading Kremlin bagman and sidekick to Kirill Dmirtiev. Martirosov began his career in finance after graduating from Moscow State University, worked at J.P. Morgan in London and EY in Moscow before joining the Far East Development Fund in 2016.

It's no longer left versus right, liberals versus conservatives or even Democrat versus Republican. It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong. Know the stakes. The midterms are here.

Since SCOTUS allowed states to legalize sports betting in 2018, Americans have legally bet more than $600 billion. Apps like DraftKings and FanDuel say they have tools to protect bettors who lose control. We spent 10 weeks testing their safeguards.

The Army awarded an artillery shell project to General Dynamics in a rushed process without the typical vetting. The result: a fiasco in a Texas factory with robots in flames and half a billion dollars in taxpayer funds that yielded no usable shells. (Published August)

"On Oct. 21, a 20-year-old U.S. citizen, was tackled by federal agents as he walked to school, which called 911 after he managed to reach campus. He was treated for injuries at a local hospital. His arms were bandaged and his face appeared bruised and swollen..." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/u...

Headlines around the world, basically unreported in US corporate media. What is this all about?

"A day after the Brazilian police asked him to hand over his passports because he was being investigated in a money-laundering case." Bolsonaro is being investigated over links to a Brazilian lawyer who is accused of laundering more than $1 billion through a vast fraud scheme. Trump's kinda guy.

The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.

Nine months ago, we saw federal agents kill Alex Pretti. Since then, the federal government has lied about him and refused to share evidence with the local law enforcement investigating this case. His family deserves justice, and that starts with sharing evidence.

Life was already hard enough before Donald Trump lied us into war, before his tariffs made everything more expensive, and before he doubled your health insurance premiums and slashed Medicaid.

The Paxtons’ blind trust invested $600K in a convicted fraudster’s new company. Experts say the trust wasn’t truly blind as the Paxtons reported losses from it on their taxes. Angela Paxton also sat on an affiliate’s advisory board for several years. with @texastribune.org

Justin J Pearson’s republican opponent sent unsolicited dick pics to multiple recipients when he was as old as 53. He admits to it, but calls his behavior “youthful indiscretion” and a “distraction.” www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithint...

"So, in Alaska, if Peltola wins, her victory is inherently suspect and must be investigated. And in Minnesota, if Flanagan bests Tafoya, her victory is inherently suspect b/c Trump has declared that Tafoya can’t lose, period, unless Dems cheat.

The nomenclature for radical Israeli Jews who are engaged in murder and mayhem against Palestinians must reflect the real, horrifying conditions . The benign use of “settler” soft-pedals the depravity of those trying to drive Palestinians from the region in an effort to ethnically cleanse territory.

Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

It is a dark stain on American voters and the Republican Party that despite a range of criminal convictions, plus successful civil actions for rape - let alone the Jan 6th insurrection he encourages that the Republican Party allows him to stand for a second term & American voters elected him.
