1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

Not to be confused with rapey Trump friends the Tate brothers. I mean, throw a rock anywhere in Trump's world and you'll hit a rapist.

The Alexander brothers have paid Trump ally Alan Dershowitz up to $1 million to try and obtain pardons for sex trafficking convictions.

Underwood does the work. And I mean all kinds of work.

Team Underwood had a great time packing 15,000 meals for families across Northern Illinois. The Big Ugly Bill has rippled through our community, and neighbors have lost access to SNAP benefits. If you need help (or want to help), please visit solvehungertoday.org

They literally filled in their own public pools so as not to be forced to swim with Black folks. White people have been fucking this country up in ways large and small because they’d rather hate Black people than love themselves.

Jeremy Lewin killed hundreds of thousands without a signed employment agreement.

WIRED@wired.com

Despite the agency's human resources department saying he hadn’t even been onboarded, Jeremy Lewin oversaw the destruction of USAID. It’s not clear he had the legal authority to do so.

He looks like he budded off of Kushner.

do people understand that Alito's definitely going to retire within Trump's term and that's why the Senate is important? these people were alive in 2016, right? do they want Trump to appoint another goddamn Kavanaugh so things get worse, and if they do not want that, why are they acting like they do

Obama’s Cheesecake Factory decor joke is going to continue to get far more play in the media, days after it happened, than RFK Jr being openly racist. Draw your own conclusions about the press based on that.

This is the guy who's most notable act as the mayor of Chicago was trying, and failing, to gain the support of the police department by covering up them shooting a child in the back sixteen times. That is the story of both his morals and his judgement. President? Never.

Hey, "Do Somethings." You want something done? Vote enough Democrats in if you want justice for these victims. Do something yourself for once.

House Judiciary Dems@democrats-judiciary.house.gov

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.

Now their descendants refuse to believe their beloved family members could really be racist enough to immiserate the country, the entire planet, just to hurt black people worse. No, it's just rich people brainwashing, no way gutter bigotry is grandma's bedrock politics bsky.app/profile/mc-h...

A load bearing mythos of pop leftism is that the Dems used to be good and for the working man and then embraced neoliberalism so the working man got sold out, instead of "white America as a whole turned on the Dems after the Civil Rights Act and began tearing down their own commons and prosperity"

The “something” in question was the workers themselves deciding by 1966 that they no longer wanted New Dealer welfare capitalism if it meant black Americans would benefit from it while anti-war protesters were free to burn the flag

Waldo@waldo42.bsky.social

Something happened in the 70's that crystallized politics (and many other topics) into a new set of assumptions and priors. It gave rise to Reaganism and completely crushed New Deal Socialism; Dems that eventually reemerged were and still are centrists scared of their own shadows.

I also think it might be worth House Dems time to look into how Trump judges just kept happening to get assigned a lot of those cases as they worked their way up on appeal.

We don't talk enough about how the Roberts Court slow-walked multiple executive privilege cases that were crucial to building the J6 case against Trump.

House Judiciary Democrats have uncovered reports alleging Trump was an "active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women in the mid-to-late 1990s."

Governor McCheese reposted

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

Yeah, I'd like to not care much who was in charge of Brazil but when one of the choices is a Nazi party allied with people in my nation's government I kind of have to.

New in PN: Ramaswamy discovers that voters have their limits "This is the nature of today’s right-wing bubble, whose residents are not only acculturated to a particular political style — cruel, often hateful — but become convinced it’s the only effective way to do politics, & any other way is weak"

Anyone who is trying to avoid placing blame on the voters who allowed this OBVIOUSLY unfit person to be president doesn't really believe in democracy. The whole point of democracy is that it is the VOTERS who determine who is in power. Voters f**ked up, so Trump is president again. Fact.

Earlier this week, a federal judge ruled that OPM violated the Privacy Act by granting DOGE access to sensitive personal information. "...even the most rigorous procedures cannot secure compliance by those willing to disregard them," she wrote.

While Trump and his cadre support rapists, they scapegoat trans people as some kind of threat to all women. Even now they're too cowardly to openly admit that's what they're doing, simply softpedalling and claiming this is about Acton being a "liar." About what, Donald? About *what*?
