Amy Acton's stepfather's surviving biological daughter spoke to The Daily Mail when they knocked on her door in Ohio, while sobbing. She said: She believed Amy's story, because her father raped her sister more than once /

I was honored to see Dolores Huerta while covering the TX Dem Convention for @texasobserver.org in June. With her passing, and Election Day closing in, I'm reminded of her words. "The eyes of the world are going to be on Texas. Every single person has got to commit. Organize, organize, organize."

If you believe Melania Trump negotiated a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, you're the reason "DO NOT EAT" labels are put on soap. If you believe Donald Trump is going to give you a check for $5,000 if Republicans win, you're the reason irons have "NEVER IRON CLOTHES WHILE BEING WORN" warnings.

WSJ chronicles the Kushner-Witkoff discussions with Putin: (1) no peace for Ukraine, (2) sanctions lifted for Russia, (3) loads of lucrative deals for Kushner, Witkoff and their cronies, (4) no upside for the US. This is a sell-out, not a negotiation. www.wsj.com/world/russia...

Like the case of Béatrice Keul, a Swiss model who says she was introduced by Jeffrey Epstein to Donald Trump who then brutally raped her. Keul's account was front page news in papers around the world, but was unreported in US corporate media. Why? To protect Trump, of course.

Raskin: "When historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump."

Trump said in Michigan yesterday that everyone in a Louisiana community got $10K checks from a neighboring data center. “Everybody in the community got a check for $10,000, and they loved it. They said, ‘Where do we do our next data center?’” A local news fact-check finds that no such checks exist

The TN GOP gerrymandered the hell out of this district, which now sprawls from Memphis to Nashville, but Justin Pearson has been working hard to make it a close race. Last poll had him down just 4 points, but his opponent has since been exposed as a sex pest. This is a race to watch.

Career politicians like Brent Taylor and billionaires like Donald Trump have been abusing their power and getting away with it for far too long. This is the type of predatory behavior that needs to be rooted out of our society and politics. www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithint...

In newspapers around the world, the report that Donald Trump raped Béatrice Keul in an Atlantic City hotel room commands huge headlines. In US corporate media, it isn't reported. Ask yourself why that might be. Here's the front page of today's Süddeutsche Zeitung in Munich.
