House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

The Grand Old Rape Party
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.
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
Trump's DOJ told a judge how to rule. Then it pulled her from court. Karen Donoso Stevens' allegations, which she's sharing publicly because of her deep concern for the court's integrity, were corroborated by contemporaneous notes as well as colleagues, family and attorneys interviewed by WaPo.

Justice is coming. And Stevie will be lucky to escape a death sentence. Because, according to everything *he* espouses, that would be appropriate justice for him.
Miller deserves everything that's coming. He's afraid of state prosecutors because a presidential pardon only covers federal offenses; and beyond prison, there's also future congressional investigations and civil lawsuits. www.rawstory.com/rs-exclusive...
This is why fascists try to destroy education: They rely on their voters having no clue about how scientific polling works. Mikey understands, of course, but he also knows he can con the dunces watching Fox.
Mike Johnson: "When I'm in these big arenas, I ask for hands -- 'Show me your hand if you've answered a poll in the last six months.' There will be like three hands among 300 people. I'm telling you, these polls are off. All of them."
In that category of "Disrespect for Women's Football," I went to the Barry Town United website and the page for their women's squad shows only 11 players IN TOTAL—so they must be playing a 3-4-2—and three of their players have photos that show "image not available." #askwxm barrytown.co.uk/squads/

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

A carefully planned Russian propaganda operation is underway. Having starved people in Oleshky for months, Russia, with the 'intervention' of Melania, will allow people to leave and pretend Ukraine was at fault. Read @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social www.kyivpost.com/analysis/88041
Oh, yes, I’m certain we’re sitting on an unlimited pile of cash and decided, even before the transfer window, that we would never consider signing a top striker. Even though, you know, there are so many available every day of the week and you can always sign one for nothing at all. #askwxm 1/4
23 shots with 1 shot on target today. Genuinely sack the person who decided we didn’t need a new striker this summer

The BBC is doing something important, refusing to be intimidated by a powerful person trying to use the legal system to punish criticism and discourage scrutiny. They’re schooling the American press on what the 1st Amendment means. Read about it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-bbc-st...

@gabrielzucman.bsky.social: So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but one man paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?

The Republican Party is giving us cancer. The New York Times doesn't say it that directly, but its investigation proves it.
