You can't expect the New York Times to give any attention to a story about the president being credibly accused of violent rape when the story breaks so close to an election. It's not like we're talking about something *really* important, like email security protocols.

In letter to Washington’s SOS threatening legal action over alleged noncitizens on rolls, DOJ gets the date wrong for the election, writing Nov. 2, 2026. Election Day is Nov. 3. And they misspell voter rolls as “roles” MS NOW obtained a copy of DOJ letter demanding WA set aside ballots

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government. https://cnn.it/3UQYxBz

1. I'm late to this, but there's still time for a word on James Talarico's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's show. It's important, because I don't think most people on the left appreciate how threatening he is.

NEW on @zeteo.com — Venues are *pulling out* of hosting Vivek Ramaswamy for his bus tour across Ohio in the closing days of the election. “We’re getting calls that people don’t want him there,” a top Ohio Republican says. “It’s that damn ad.” From @andrewperez.bsky.social and @swin24.bsky.social:

Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."

Something is off with Trump tonight. The gaffes, the glitches, the confusion are well beyond his usual. "They gave the wonderful peace prize, right? Does anybody know the name of that peace prize? They gave the Pulitzer Prize to a young lady."

For Mike Rogers to bring into question my commitment to the Constitution is beneath him. It's shameful. I'm proud to be an American. I'm proud of our Constitution that guarantees all of us the right to pray as we choose to pray.

You can't afford a full tank of gas but Mike Rogers is chartering private planes and repairing his campaign's BMW. Summer's over so yachting turns to jetting I guess! Mike Rogers is just looking to go through the revolving door of politics to make another $14M.

Democrats have filed a lawsuit against Trump and the Trump Justice Department — alleging that the administration is unlawfully interfering with the midterms by pressuring states to remove voters from their rolls.

Q: Witkoff described President Putin as a humanitarian. Would you describe him in that same way? TRUMP: I guess you could say for the purpose of allowing a man who was thinking he was gonna be in prison for life out

Trump: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"

BREAKING NYT: A billionaire wanted a Trump pardon. His family gave Alina Habba a $50 million deal. Julio Herrera Velutini, a prominent Venezuelan, was seeking clemency. He got it not long after his daughter gave Habba, a lawyer close to Trump, an extraordinarily lucrative job.
