"The votes aren't there" is cowardice masked as savviness. There has to be accountability for their crimes. The House has a duty to make the case here and if some GOP senators want to weasel out, make them own that vote. Don't let pundits and "strategists" talk you out of doing your damn job.

98% of the refugees admitted to the U.S. under Trump have been white South Africans.

BREAKING WaPo: A federal grand jury just REJECTED an attempt by the Trump Justice Department to indict former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson.

Trump speaks to small Corpus Christi crowd, repeatedly glitches and makes strange noises during speech where he also slurred heavily while his dentures seemed to be falling out Supercut:

“.. the latest setback in the Justice Department’s efforts to charge perceived adversaries of the Republican president.” @apnews.com apnews.com/article/cass...

A hacker is attempting to breach the US Federal Election Commission's systems and that agency has had to 'temporarily shut down' its web-facing services as a result, according to an email seen by Reuters reut.rs/4zY7fwQ

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."

He was only a small 53 year old boy, y’all. How could State Senator Brent Taylor have known any better? dailymemphian.com/section/metr...

Trump: "That's what a lawyer tells you to answer when you're guilty. Just say, 'Not to my knowledge.'"

President Trump's second term pardons and clemency orders have erased at least $119 million in unpaid restitution to crime victims, including small businesses and community banks. One of many concrete harms of Trump's corruption...

Talarico: "If you've seen an attack ad on your TV, that was Elon. If you've gotten lies in your mailbox, that was Elon. If you've received a text message saying scary things about me with scary black and white photos. That was Elon too."

Rebecca Cooke on Derrick Van Orden: “He's gotten drunk in his official office, yelled at Senate pages, carried a loaded gun through TSA... I mean, he's really out there.” Cooke also slams his “six votes that he took to continue this war in Iran” as Wisconsin families face rising prices.

Does anyone know who the "William Barr" is who is mentioned in the FBI chart on page 22 of the House Dem staff Epstein report? democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

In newspapers around the world, the report that Donald Trump raped Béatrice Keul in an Atlantic City hotel room commands huge headlines. In US corporate media, it isn't reported. Ask yourself why that might be. Here's the front page of today's Süddeutsche Zeitung in Munich.

In other words, Trump invaded Venezuela, killed about 100 people, installed a member of the dictatorship as the new puppet leader, and stole the country's oil.

So hard to pick a favorite part of this article. Pretending that sending unsolicited dick pics at 53 was a “youthful indiscretion” is good, but don’t sleep on the argument that his wife forgave him for subjecting other women to unwanted nude photos so everyone else should too

Rep Randy Fine (R-FL) says he's absolutely open to striking the citizenship of Melania Trump (née Knavs) and Elon Musk if it turns out they secured their green cards and passports through fraud, as at first blush seems apparent. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

One heck of a story about how oil companies face no consequences for their serious violations in Oklahoma. This Oil Company Is Linked to 1,000 Pollution Incidents and Other Violations. Oklahoma Never Punished It. @nickbowlin.bsky.social @readfrontier.bsky.social

691 words about Cheesecake. 434 words about rape.

There was a brand new allegation that the president raped a woman in the 1990s yesterday and it appears to not be on the NYT homepage at all right now

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

You can do the same thing, buying a house and borrowing against it—ha ha, just kidding, normal people get taxed annually on their wealth via property taxes, the "you can't tax wealth, the economy will collapse!" rule applies solely to the super-rich.

"Some of the most grievous charges ever leveled against a senior U.S. federal official..." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/b...

YIKES! It seems @justinjpearson.bsky.social’s TN-9 opponent state senator Brent Taylor has a history of sending unsolicited nude pics to people who are not his wife. (No wonder Trump wants him in congress) www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithint...

POLITICO: ".. The documents show representatives from Google, OpenAI, Meta, Amazon Web Services and Nvidia were 'confirmed' to meet with Abbott’s team, joined by Texas’ head electricity regulator .. to discuss building out the state’s power grid." @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

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.

At this point, the case that Pete Hegseth is a Russian stooge is pretty strong. And there's no shortage of folks in upper echelons in the Pentagon who are persuaded of that, too.

MOTHER JONES: “THEY WENT TO JARED… Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner used his position to hop in bed with autocrats and sell out America.” And the Hunter Biden hunters are silent. @MarshaBlackburn www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

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

Julie K. Brown at the Miami Herald is still doing the heavy lifting on keeping the story alive. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

One of the most important financial stories out there if you want to know how and why the same five evil guys wind up owning everything.

We need to get money out of politics. Let's start with Elon Musk. Full story in reply.

Kushner took a $50 mn bribe from the Emiratis to orchestrate the firing of Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, according to Matt Cole's new book, Princes and Thieves, out today. To be clear, this is a serious felony, if true.

Just going to leave this inspiring story right here…sweet dreams…
