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.

I have court documents from a Trump and Epstein mid-1990s child rape case in my 2020 book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT, which was a bestseller. Folks pretending they just learned about this are full of it. They refused to pursue it and let victims suffer in silence, fearing no one cared to hear the truth.

If Democrats actually win big because people want a check on Trump corruption I expect every move to do so will be covered in the corporate media as being risky to their 2028 position.

scott galloway and jessica tarlov held an event here in town yesterday where “don’t impeach or waste time on investigations because ‘28” was the consensus position of the panel. so yeah, this is something to anticipate.

I wrote about all the bullshit the Trump admin is doing to Ilhan Omar--and how Ilhan Omar is far from the only person to whom the admin is doing this bullshit ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

the routine, pay for play pardons are all by themselves one of the worst corruption scandals in american history!

I do think Acton should go as hard as possible on this. "Elon Musk is paying millions of dollars to bombard your TV with lies by a rapist pedophile and his insane enabler wife. Don't let him win."

Bari Weiss has been an avowed anti-Palestinian anti-Arab racist and anti-Muslim bigot her entire adult life. It’s the one true through line since she was a college student and now she is running one of the most important news organizations in the world in the same way.

A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

America now has second-generation school shooting survivors nypost.com/2026/10/17/u...

Since we're talking about Jan Crawford's bigoted comment about @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, here's a post I did about how she helped Bill Barr impugn the Russian investigation. emptywheel.net/2019/05/31/b...

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.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

One thing we need to be prepared for on election night is that there will be a premature rush to characterize the results from incomplete and early results, and once that narrative sets in, it can be hard to shake even as the numbers change. I wrote about this phenomenon in the 2018 midterms:

I know America. I know that, in America, we believe in a country big enough for all of us. So, JD Vance, don't you dare come from Ohio to lecture me. You don't know a damn thing about America.

BREAKING: The FBI made a video trashing Democrats & hyping Kash Patel, then posted it during early voting Spending your tax dollars to campaign or to hype the director is illegal -- This video did BOTH We want watchdogs to find out who signed off Our @democracydefendersfund.org letter👇 -TN

El- Sayed: "Here‘s the thing about it – no matter who you are, how you love, how you pray, how you identify, it just should not be this hard... Shouldn‘t be this hard to keep our money here. Spend it on roads and bridges here, build our schools here, provide healthcare here. Shouldn‘t be this hard"

No one has more contempt for Donald Trump's voters than Donald Trump.

Abjure literacy and just let Marcy talk it at you.

Status reports that ABC News deleted that explosive story about the Trump kids getting billions in federal contracts for their companies. ABC hasn't explained why they nuked the story, even as Trump has crowed about its deletion, sparking a firestorm behind scenes. www.status.news/p/david-elli...

"What are we, a bunch of BROWN people?" This is white people doing white people shit. Y'all had picnics under our hanging bodies but sure ok. It's like the Taliban.

Hasan was paralyzed in the shooting, so as if this wasn't all bad enough already, sit with the image of him being executed while in a wheelchair for that extra frisson of barbarity.

The announcement that the Pentagon is going to live stream the firing squad execution of Nidal Malik Hasan needs to be understood in the context of the state-sponsored bloodlust for their chief enemies: Muslims and alleged socialists.

this is honestly one of the worst and most irresponsible things he has ever posted, and that's really saying something

Turning state violence into a public spectacle is a very fascist move BTW.

One of the first things Fidel Castro did upon taking power was televising live executions by firing squad.

Guillotines

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

WASHINGTON (AP) - Pentagon says the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be livestreamed in December.

they did the thing

Buy 500 Kavanaugh bobble heads. In various ways demonstrate the violence of these snatches. Then set it up outside SCOTUS. Add some Stop signs.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: “The thorough cleansing that we are carrying out now in southern Lebanon is unprecedented. “They have nowhere to return to. Look at how it looks. “And by the way, the world isn’t stopping us.”

Openly bragging about ethnic cleansing. That's how you know they're the Good Guys.

This is sad news. Simon was a big help with this story that showed Howard Lutnick apparently lied about his business entanglement with Jeffrey Epstein—a story that deserves more attention. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It's not bigotry, it's just an intuitive preference for racial homogeneity. 🙄 Congratulations to @yale.edu for citing Rufo twice in the report justifying their decision to make the institution a trashy MAGA factory where stuff like this is the only legitimate form of scholarship or discussion.

Let’s remember that Sen. Eric Schmitt is a white nationalist who employs other white nationalists while spreading white nationalist/racist conspiracy theories. missouriindependent.com/2025/09/15/m... White supremacists never fail to demonstrate how they’re inferior:

SCOTUS’s shadow docket strikes again. Third-country removals are back on, using a policy that two federal courts have now ruled is unlawful.

Jesus Christ Cornell

Are Democrats really going to sit on Elon being back at the White House, praising data centers with Trump, and talking about their good times with Xi as Elon tries to buy another election and millions die from him buying the last one?

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

The trailer for my new film, "Musk," has just been released.
