there are people serving life sentences right now on thinner evidence than we have for "donald trump was jeffrey epstein's partner in serial rape" democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

"Both top-shelf reporting and top officials in the Trump administration, including Trump himself, have said that Musk made this decision on his own. That would be treason. The traditional way to figure out the truth of such a matter is with a trial." prospect.org/2026/10/26/d...

Overall, we are seeing some very odd deal talks that are supposedly a part of ending the war in Ukraine. But in fact evidence shows these deals are structured (in the most recent case secretly until now) to financially benefit Russia or business partners of the Trump and Witkoff families.

LET IT HAPPEN

In 2020, Jared Kushner was senior advisor to the president of the United States, a full-time employee of the United States government, and was subject to numerous disclosure requirements and ethical restrictions under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978.

fucking monster

the story goes like this

Everyone keeps repeating Trump's claim that he didn't trade anyone for Stephen Hubbard, but on October 9 (the day he betrayed Ukraine) Trump chose not to extradite someone far more important: Mikhail Zvinchuk, who interferes in US and European democracy. emptywheel.net/2026/10/21/t...

In August, Trump announced the “BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY!” But is it? The text of the accord — which grants the U.S. sweeping access to Venezuela’s oil reserves — has been one of DC’s most sought-after secrets. ProPublica got to see a copy. 🧵

Trump: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"

the routine, pay for play pardons are all by themselves one of the worst corruption scandals in american history!

looolllolll

Besides thanking Trump, his statement is only a slight paraphrase of the 14 words en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourtee...

At 5 in the morning the president and his party are focused on the really important things for every day Americans: a luxury golf course

lol

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

there's an off-the-books slack channel started by centers for medicare and medicaid for tech companies to exchange ideas on making money off of AI tools that access all of your medical records. insane story i missed from last week.

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

Trump's suit appears to be part of Jos. A. Bank's Traveler line. The suit is listed as having been made abroad using a wool-polyester-spandex blend. The company describes it as having the "ultimate stretch" and was designed to minimize body odor.

They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.

The President of the United States, in front of a crowd of his supporters, during a televised rally, admits to a Quid Pro Quo pardon, which is a felony and impeachable offence. And absolutely nothing will happen, because his party, which controls congress, are fascist collaborators and sycophants.

This child is 13 and was testifying without an attorney present. Monsters.

The good news about this is every generation needs a series of movies about heists of nazi gold. The bad new about this is that we're the nazis. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/w...

propublica, continuing to post articles to which my reaction is: burn it all to the ground and salt the earth.

There's plenty of corruption, crimes against humanity, and downright evil shit to focus on, but every so often it strikes me how thoroughly we USians have been exposed and disgraced on the world stage. A country who can elect such a man—twice!—is not a worthy country. We need radical reformation.

In 2024 the former CEO of a defense contractor made a stunning confession to two FBI agents. He alleged that was the ringleader of a massive pay-to-play operation, bribing senators with campaign contributions in exchange for govt contracts. www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...

Why is Trump hellbent on erasing the legacies of JFK & Jackie? • Paved over her rose garden • Ripped out the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden too • Tore down the East Wing • Painted over her Air Force One design • And now has shuttered the Kennedy Center, the only DC memorial to the slain president

HUGE EXCLUSIVE from @bloomberg.com Inside the US ‘Kill Chain’ That Destroyed an Iranian School Pentagon investigators discovered that flawed intel, outdated imagery & overreliance on AI contributed to a missile strike that killed 123 children in Minab 🎁 www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

A photographer captured extraordinary pictures of President Donald Trump looking at a large poster that appears to say “Kennedy Center DEMOLISHED” on top through the windows of Air Force One on Wednesday evening.

I guess we can add Trump managing to end the Kennedy Center to the rest of his legacy: - new wars, incompetently managed - destroyed USAID, killed hundreds of thousands - highest debt and deficits in US history - out of control costs and inflation

New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

Travels with Natalie just makes them crazy. Completely crazy. Next up, Barbra Streisand joins us to discuss.

i once again ask what sort of contraption Trump is wearing around his ass

Good explainer.
