I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

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.

When first reported, 2025’s jobs reports added up to 1.2 million new jobs. After revisions, the economy added just 116,000 — 90% less.

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

With Trump's removal of Starlink, Russians are now hunting cars full of people in Kyiv, using jet drones for which Ukraine's interceptors no longer function to stop. Three people murdered an hour ago in southern Kyiv, with six others injured, three of which are children.

Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine."

This is an all time non-apology apology.

oh man remember when the media used to creatively edit videos to make it look like Biden was wondering off?

Put more clearly - an arrogant incompetent old man picked an arrogant incompetent woman for her looks and her extremist views and she proved utterly incapable of delivering. That's how the US is being run right now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This photo says everything about why Trump keeps hiring unqualified worshipful young women (who look like his daughter)

JD Vance running around the country saying he’s fighting health care fraud while his nominee for the senate in TX who he completely supports is partying in Dubai with a guy whole stole over $300 million in health care fraud and gave Paxton $190,000. This is the Republican Party.

In the last 24 hours, Trump’s DOJ raided Ilhan Omar’s home over paperwork her dad filed when she was a child, oil passed $107, Russia shredded Trump’s “ceasefire” within hours, and the MAGA hit job on Talarico imploded. And that’s just the start.

Why would a physical search of Omar’s home in 2026 be relevant to or necessary for an investigation into whether her dad filled out a form incorrectly decades ago?

Top ten most foreboding sentence I've ever read.

Exactly correct. Watching it unfold for years has been sickening. Bad, corrupt, greedy grifters brainwashing sheep for Putin.

There are two types of people

The Dems getting better at this

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

This put me way more left than I thought i would be.

Wu on redistricting if Dems get control: "You do the exact same thing that they did to you until they say mercy" and agree to national, bipartisan reform.

Nevada election officials said they had reviewed the 185 records DHS sent them and confirmed they were US citizens. “As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens. You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise,” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Nevada Says Every Single Voter DHS Flagged as a Noncitizen Is Actually a U.S. Citizen

Here's some unsolicited advice for my Democratic friends - in office and running. Think twice before hiring consultants who are cozying up to private equity, signing up to defend prediction markets, or telling candidates to not say what they actually feel about the big AI companies.

This may be the dumbest thing he has done so far. And there is a lot of competition.

MAGA I’m an educated lifelong Libtard Dumocrat who voted for Obama, Hillary, Biden & Kamala I can afford gas, groceries, utilities, healthcare & my mortgage I voted for you You voted for a conman who wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire. Trump’s become a multimillionaire & you are suffering

MAGA loves to invent fake controversies, using its echo chamber to make people think there’s a real story out there. For example, the fake “Ohio pet-eating controversy” and bogus WNBA “transgender eligibility debate.” Media must stop metastasizing misinformation. My Stop the Presses newsletter.

Mike Rogers is too much of a coward to even show up for a debate. He will never stand up for Michiganders in the Senate.

Everything's falling into place

Hello. This is your reminder that the Russians secretly paid for Donald Trump Jr.’s private island wedding reception. The entire family is on the take and they believe the American people are suckers who won’t care. We care.

I said it at the time (and before!), but I truly believe that American voters electing Donald Trump for a second term in 2024 was the dumbest and most self-harming choice made by an electorate in the history of humanity

Don Jr. and Bettina Trump say a Russian oligarch "very generously hosted" a wedding celebration and it was "an extraordinary wedding gift from a friend" that shouldn't be "recast as something political or sinister." This "dear friend," meanwhile, is someone Eric Trump insists he's never heard of.

Yes, when normal people hear "pay for the wedding" they think the actual ceremony, not the party after. Sure.

NEW: Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev footed the bill for hundreds of thousands of dollars of wedding expenses at Donald Trump Jr.’s lavish wedding, including renting out a private island and paying for the fireworks show.

lol I just realized Trump is treating the voters like his construction crews on a building project. Tell them to do a job and then stiff them on the promised compensation.

I’ve had a premonition of a thousand annoying takes First off, Talarico has permission to say any goddamn thing he wants to beat Paxton, it ain’t a lie if you tell it to a hog Second, this is a non-statement unless you believe trans girls playing sports endangers safety or fairness

Most American have zero interest in the US government treating one of our most important historical allies and trading partners like this. But the worst among us is running the country, thanks to the worst and most irresponsible voters among us.

Forgive us Conor Lamb

Wab Kinew reacts to Donald Trump renaming Lake Ontario: "You know when a rock band is really over the hill and you see them in a casino playing some song from like 50 years ago? I think that's the part of Donald Trump's presidency we're at now."
