While Trump is blocking delivery of air defenses that European nations purchased for Europe his piece of shit son is on a several day hunting trip with one of Putin's cronies, the same obe that paid for the Trump family's 2-day island party. It's all incredible and MAGA will cheer for more.

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.

🚨SENATE ALERT: Democrats are closing in. Silver Bulletin gives Dems a 76% chance to win the Senate—with strong leads in NC, GA and NH, and competitive races across OH, ME, MI, MN, AK and TX. But Republicans are flooding the airwaves with money to stop the blue wave. Vote early. Finish the job. 🔵

You'd think that Trump's decision to turn control of Alaska's massive LNG port project to the Kremlin (Novatek) would be big news in Alaska. But so far, ADN hasn't reported even a word about it. I wonder why.

Trump-Musk defunded USAID. 600K deaths, 2/3rds of them children, in less than 1 year. An estimated 14M deaths (4.5M children) by 2030. DEATHS THAT WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED UNDER HARRIS. Tell me again how u just couldn’t vote for @kamalaharris.com. What was the slur u hurled at Biden, “Genocide Joe”?

Beyond a new rape allegation, the @democrats-judiciary.house.gov report implicates current Attorney General Todd Blanche, stating he "may have engaged in criminal obstruction of justice while acting on a mission to protect Trump," referring to an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. Seems like news!

Will anyone—anyone at all—ask Trump about the rape allegations published in an official report by the House Judiciary Democrats? Or will he continue to escape accountability for his violence?

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

Donald Trump's deployment of California's National Guard in Los Angeles was an unlawful and unconstitutional abuse of power. It was done over California’s objection — all in an effort to intimidate peaceful protestors advocating for immigrant rights.

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."

"The same people who insist on policing public bathrooms to protect little girls from sexual predators are also smearing an actual child rape survivor." And not just that. The latest edition of Receipts from @crampell.bsky.social:
