A good summary of the House Judiciary Dems' 50-p report on Trump's history as a violent sexual predator, including a well vetted, under-oath account from Beatrice Keul of how Trump raped her in an Atlantic City hotel room in 1993, after the pair were introduced to one another by Jeffrey Epstein.

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

Sen Roger Marshall (R-KS) summons Pete Hegseth's personal chaplain to explain that Methodists are dangerous, far-left crazies.

Sen. Sanders: I have a suggestion for Trump. Instead of lying and throwing hatred against Abdul and his family, why don't you explain to the American people why you threw 15 million Americans off their healthcare to give $1 trillion in tax breaks to the 1%?

Fintan O'Toole: Kushner’s political and financial relationship with the UAE’s president, Mohammed bin Zayed ...constitutes what must surely be the worst case of US foreign policy being conducted outside the law and democratic oversight since the Iran-contra scandal...

Beatrice Keul, testified that she was introduced by Jeffrey Epstein to Donald J Trump, who then brutally raped her in a hotel room in Atlantic City, NJ, and her claims were deemed credible by a panel of the House Judiciary Committee today. The NYT has decided that this is not reportable news.

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

Leaders of the No Kings movement are already gearing up for the next major grassroots campaign: Making sure congressional Democrats don’t wimp out. My first piece at @newrepublic.com! (Reposted to update link card) newrepublic.com/article/2168...

Is all this really feasible? Won't Trump refuse to sign anything like this? Won't he litigate it? Won't it lead to government shutdowns? Yes, yes, and yes. But it's still absolutely doable and necessary. Here's why: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC): Data centers are likely to reverse 2 decades of progress in curbing air pollution in Texas. In effect, rolling back years of reductions in air contaminants linked to asthma, heart attacks, and cancer.

He's so close

An American student with a disability is suffering from a broken wrist and a black eye after ICE wrongfully tackled and detained him in Santa Maria. Americans didn’t ask to be brutalized by ICE. They sure as hell shouldn’t be paying for its actions with broken limbs.

In August, President Trump announced he had signed the “biggest oil deal in world history.” ProPublica reviewed the deal and found it gives a small group of people largely handpicked by the Trump administration long-term control of the enterprise.

Shocker! A disingenuous Republican….

Ro Khanna, demanded “an immediate, govt-wide investigation into the decision to restrict SpaceX's Starshield satellite-based intelligence & military support services in Ukraine.” www.americaamerica.news/p/how-long-c...

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

Max Miller said people have been "using Social Security as a safety net when it was" never "supposed" to be one. My parents moved in with me because Social Security wasn't enough of a safety net. That's the difference in this race.

“Every man will have a chiseled jaw and great ass. It will kick in later. After the midterms.”

"The party left me. I used to be a Democrat, but know that Obama has made fun of Trump for making the White House look like a dictator designed an over-the-top chain restaurant I favor starving African children and bringing measles back"

President Obama Nails It.......

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

“People are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. Were making a frickin’ fortune.”

Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'We're making trillions of dollars.

Obama: "You got the defense sec who is like a laser focused on important matters like the jawline & testosterone level of our troops, and livestreaming executions because that's how he thinks you cultivate that manly warrior spirit. How much time do you think this man spends in front of the mirror?"
