Last days of Biden admin Garland did NOT release Mar-a-Lago docs report (Vol 2) by Jack Smith b/c still charges against 2 co-conspirators. Could have dismissed them & released the report (House Dems pleaded). Instead, he kept the case open, handed it over to Bondi. Following "norms" to shield Trump

Judiciary Dems report on Donald Trump’s participation in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex abuse and the DOJ’s strenuous efforts to cover it up details evidence involving 11 women, five of whom directly accuse Donald Trump of rape or sexual assault in Jeffrey Epstein’s close company or presence.

Judiciary Dems report: “Above all, the actual evidence we have seen—as shared in the accounts and stories of 11 women, each described below—indicates that Trump abused, assaulted, and even raped numerous women alongside, and in coordination with, the most infamous sex trafficker in history.”

Trump was "an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women in the 90s” according to a report issued today by Dems on the House Judiciary Committee. The report includes one new rape allegation against Trump, and calls for a special investigation of the Trump administration's cover-up.

Is Trump a serial sexual predator and pedophile? The House Judiciary Committee Dems issue a 50-page report looking at that question and consolidating the evidence. It's a formidable document. And we still hear apologists on air denying the existence of such evidence. Shameful.

ms.nowHouse Judiciary Democrats release 50-page report on Trump’s alleged involvement in Epstein filesThe report — issued just eight days before the election — makes multiple, uncorroborated allegations against the president while also detailing discrepancies in his statements about Epstein.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Why does Donald Trump so desperately want everyone to stop talking about the Files?

Our latest report traces explicit accounts involving 11 women who directly implicate him in Epstein’s crimes and network. So, yes, stop talking about the Files if you want to protect the President from the truth.

Seeing how little coverage that house report that added another rape accusation to Trump's tally got today, I looked back on just the front page Benghazi stories (there were many, many more inside over these months).

That RFK clip is ghastly, but it's totally consistent with the Islamophobia that has been coming out of this administration, including Trump's rhetoric about Abdul El-Sayed. They are all in on the hatred of Muslims because it's a formula that has worked before.

Just a reminder that there is no good data to support these uses in K12, we are just testing it live all on kids who won’t ever be these ages again and can’t get them back if we fuck it up.

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.

And yes obviously it's unlikely that whoever wins will center Palestinian lives and safety (though harm reduction is a very real thing.)

“Prediction markets” = gambling. Here is the deal: They are casinos folks. Their job is to make your money, their money. They are not predicting anything other than you will hand over your money to them. The trick is to make you think you have a chance at making your money back.

US government officials paid by our tax dollars manipulated US policy to interfere in Brazil's election, to punish Lula and push Flavio Bolsonaro to power: insurrectionists supporting other insurrectionists. But they failed. archive.is/7C52g

A Beautiful View reposted

So how did Lula come from behind to defeat Bolsonaro? In short, turnout. Bolsonaro's vote share barely moved. But Lula banked millions of votes from those who didn't vote in the first round & won eliminated candidates' votes. A remarkable mobilisation. Second round turnout is usually below first.

Enjoyed seeing this woman's work. Sustainability isn't just about producer decisions, but also consumer decisions, namely their willingness to repair things when needed. This type of repair is easier on natural fibers, rather than stretch fabrics. Consider that when shoppping. IG loosethreadsrepair

Elon Musk is spending hundreds of millions to elect Republicans, an unprecedentedly huge amount from one person, and it’s a lot less than the value of contracts his companies got from this government he paid to elect and worked in. Many reports say “his own money,” few note unprecedentedly corrupt.

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...
