This is what I meant when I said in 2024 that when I looked at the incoming administration, all I could see was rape. It’s the heinous act itself, yes, but also a mentality, as deftly explained here:
BREAKING: Judge Reyes has issued a preliminary injunction over the golf course and begins with this:

"In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct."

How embarrassing.

Why is the modern GOP struggling with a Nazi problem? John Oliver lays out the case in a simple, powerful, hilarious way, connecting the inability of today's Republicans to denounce white supremacy to a long tradition inside the party. WATCH: https://loom.ly/y1gqvds

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
Was it Iran that pulled out of the JCPOA? Did Iran hit us with bunker buster bombs and declare-arrogantly and incorrectly-they had destroyed our nuclear capabilities? When that proved to be false, did they incompetently bomb a girl’s school?
Yes-Iran is a malign nation. But Trump is a fascist

Epstein lent his lawyer $7 million and never asked for it back. Helped him buy two homes. Paid for his IVF. New Mexico just put all of it in a lawsuit, and the number the state wants frozen is bigger:

John Oliver: “It does feel that the Republican Party has been getting way too comfortable with some, at best, N*zi-adjacent sh*t.” variety.com/2026/tv/news...
DOJ "is asking federal courts, before a single result exists, to bless the reasons it might later give for refusing to accept particular outcomes. For lack of a better term, I’ve been calling it preemptive election interference. And it’s as troubling as it is unprecedented."
“The Department of Justice is putting its formidable thumb on next week’s elections in a way that seems clearly intended to call into question the legitimacy of any result that is especially unfavorable to Republicans—before those results have even come in.”
Me on DOJ’s California and Alaska suits:
The GOP refuses to hold Trump his family and the rest of his crooked administration accountable for using his term to steal taxpayer money. He’s accepted money for pardons, money for contracts, & traded stocks over 28,000 times.

The Ramaswamy campaign not only tried to capitalize on a child rape victim, they did it by using an old homeless woman who—while vile—is in no mental shape to adequately understand the stakes.
And did they pay her? Either answer is bad.
Donna Arthur — aka Amy Acton’s estranged mother, and the person whose testimony Vivek Ramaswamy devoutly trusts — has been living with her cats, in a car, in a church parking lot, having declined housing assistance.

Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines

I think the biggest takeaway is this: the fact that this company has a $1 billion evaluation means rich people’s only plan for the future is forever war and fascism AND that the military/police industrial complex is a bubble on par with a 2008 Floridia timeshare community.
New — I wrote about Vivek Ramaswamy’s weaponization of Amy Acton’s childhood sexual abuse and how it’s only the latest symptom of a Republican party flush with rape apologists, led by an adjudicated rapist:

News just broke that Elon Musk made a $1 billion investment in the Ellison family's Skydance, which owns CBS and CNN. Anoher step toward right-wing "media capture," as I wrote about recently in my Stop the Presses newsletter.

Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them.
The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything.

Donald Trump has long claimed "charitable" deductions on golf courses he owns — to avoid paying taxes.
Now, facing one of the most significant tax bills of his life, he’s pushing the scheme even further—and appears to be using the presidency to get away with it.
Oh look, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is exactly as corrupt as we all know he is.

Brett Meiselas: This is why you don’t put a criminal into office in the first place. This is why we arrest criminals. This is why they go to prison, so that they can’t commit more crimes. Instead, we put a fraudster into office. What do you think he’s going to do? He’s going to commit fraud.
Trump wants to talk about waste, fraud, and abuse? Let’s follow HIS money.

Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is spot fucking on here. “ Connect the damn dots. Trump’s story is a corruption story. This is the great grift. $2.2 billion of income last year.” #TrumpsCrimesOnYourDime it’s time to vote his Republican enablers in Congress out. Make your plan and LFG!!
Funny how “I’m paying for it” turned into $333 million in pledges from companies w/ federal business, & Trump is nowhere on the donor lists.
He’s expecting us to trust him with decisions about their profits. Corruption in plain sight, is insulting & infuriating.

A reminder that “The Great Replacement” was the name of the manifesto of the Christchurch terrorist. That is where Trump and his supporters are at this point; openly endorsing a conspiracy theory championed by a mass murdering terrorist.
