Don’t knock anti-Trump Republicans, whether they changed parties or not. They’ve had a level of backbone and independence I only HOPE we Dems would have if our party was taken over by a grifting huckster like Trump. They stepped up when it counted. Would we?

I really think everyone needs to pay attention to this coordinated campaign to delegitimize Muslim Americans - not just as citizens but as humans. These increasingly hysterical attacks are a prelude to Republicans bringing us to a very, very dark place after the election.

The next party of the center-right will likely come from disaffected centrist Democrats. And that's *okay*. A lot of liberal former Republicans are now Democrats, too. As long as we agree on the Constitution and its protections, plenty of room for throwing elbows and fighting over what's best.

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.

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

Raskin: "When historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump."

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

I don't think anything can be built out of the current GOP.

I agree, but I must admit that I wonder if the Republican Party can ever be that sort of reasonable, pro-democracy conservative party again. The upcoming generation of Republicans really only knows Trump. No policy chops. Just transgressive bigotries as political theater.

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.
