Another story impossible to imagine in any other administration: the president's son goes hunting with a Russian criminal who is part of Putin's security entourage

The remote rendezvous in August highlights the remarkable relationship between a son of the US president and a businessman with ties to the Kremlin. ft.trib.al/9g7wnme

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.

Annie Andrews on Trump's recent comments regarding her: "If calling me names will lower our gas prices and our grocery prices and keep our rural hospitals open, he can call me all the names that he wants. But that's not going to get the job done."

Wendy reposted

So Trump’s closing argument is that high gas prices are good because his donors who run oil companies are making bank, Jon Husted has a nice ass but not quite as good as Nicki Minaj’s ass, after 7 months the Reflecting Pool is almost done, and we get a ballroom, arch and helipad.

Periodic reminder that the media loudly demanded DETAILED POLICY PLANS (TM) from Kamala Harris while gramps over here is just riffing on asses from behind the seal of the President of the United States. Just a daily embarrassment but this is gold for the media 🙄

Trump says he examined Jon Husted’s ass to groans but then says Nikki Minaj has a nice ass to cheers

Trump on data centers: "I say let them come in ... you should really be cool on data centers because you can make a fortune with the data centers" (Note the total silence of the crowd during this rant!)

8. She embodies the idea of privatized gain and socialized losses. The truth is transparently obvious, yet the White House keeps asking me to be stupid.

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Flagging and gifting this "wowzer" story, as one of its authors called it. Russia, Russia, Russia, all over again. 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

nytimes.comIn U.S. Gas Talks With Kremlin, Hidden Financing for Alaska Project Emerges (Gift Article)Interviews and documents show a Russian energy giant secretly funded a U.S. firm. The deal has been discussed in talks to end the war in Ukraine.
Eric Lipton NYT@ericlipton.nytimes.com

Overall, we are seeing some very odd deal talks that are supposedly a part of ending the war in Ukraine. But in fact evidence shows these deals are structured (in the most recent case secretly until now) to financially benefit Russia or business partners of the Trump and Witkoff families.

New in PN: The end of the Trump rally "Even for the diehards, his rallies have become a slog as a sleepy president rambles pointlessly from one subject to another, like a musical act whose hit-making days are decades in the past playing the old songs with little of the verve that made them popular"

Mr. Hitler, sir, you are a humanitarian, just like my boss who is an avid fan of your 'Mein Kampf.' And let me salute you. I commend you.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

Vance just held an outrageous presser in which he defended Vivek's vile attacks on Acton, agreed w/ Witkoff's assessment of Putin as a "humanitarian," and had gall to claim "there's no person who hates people enriching themselves fraudulently over access to the govt than Donald J Trump" Supercut:

Vance says "we are not going to attack someone based on anonymously sourced story" - man, you said Haitians were eating pets based on nothing. A big problem for the Trump administration is that there are no clean hands. At this point, everyone looks corrupt or a hypocrite. bsky.app/profile/atru...

It’s exhausting to wake up every morning and see what new hell Trump has triggered while his GOP enablers applaud or stand idly by. Please vote so we can start the necessary accountability agenda.

Regarding the whole issue of who ordered the slowdown of Starlink in Ukraine: Fuck em both - Trump & Musk. Fuck em both. The bottom line is that both Elon Musk and Donald Trump are actively helping Putin kill Ukrainian civilians. Both Musk and Trump have blood on their hands. Fuck em both.

I think the billionaire class should start using its wealth for luxury items they’ve heretofore been convinced are too expensive—things like healthcare for all, equal education and ending poverty.

The leader of the Republican Party supports murderous anti-American war criminal Vladimir Putin. Will Republican candidates be repeatedly asked if they denounce Putin? The Republican Party's biggest donor also boosts a German Neo-Nazi party. Will Republican candidates be asked if they denounce AfD?

It's really hard to overstate how this area is truly the birthplace of the MAGA movement. A one-time pro-union Democrat stronghold that shifted early to Trump, launching all the talking points about "economic anxiety" being the driving force behind his rise. If they abandon Trump, it's game over.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Remarkable: Dems are growing optimistic about flipping Mahoning County in Ohio, a major destination for reporters looking for voters in Trump Diners. Dem internal polling shows Trump at minus 11 points in the region, which is a stunning collapse. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2167...
