Will anyone—anyone at all—ask Trump about the rape allegations published in an official report by the House Judiciary Democrats? Or will he continue to escape accountability for his violence?

Great to see this teamwork approach from Pingree and Jackson. "Every Pingree voter should be a Jackson voter and every Jackson voter should be a Pingree voter" is something some folks you know may need to hear! #MEpolitics

THREAD. Detailed reporting on Trump II’s dismantling of EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and laws written to protect the public and planet. Private interests/industry now at the fore. @ericlipton.nytimes.com @billmckibben.bsky.social @leahstokes.bsky.social @alexsteffen.bsky.social @ms.now

Eric Lipton. below, has led an effort over the past two years to document the destruction of environmental protections under Trump II. It has gone for the most part unnoticed compared to, well, many other things, probably because it’s happening far from the Oval Office. But it’s very important.

In a little-noticed webpage update, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a plan to decommission its online web archive at the end of the year, a move that would wipe tens of thousands of publicly available environmental resources from the web.

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.

That's just not how it works. And AG Blanche knows it. He's not holding the line against Trump's attempt to subvert the election outcomes. He's facilitating it. The federal government remains the greatest threat to free and fair elections in November.

My social media post after Trump's election in 2016. Still true.

This is explosive. In the Witkoff/Kushner discussions with the Kremlin with respect to the sale to a Trump-backed consortium of LUKoil's foreign assets, Trump has offered a slice of his big Alaska project to a Russian major close to Putin. The structure is designed to entangle US investments

The AfD’s internal emails have been leaked and, unsurprisingly, they’re still Nazis after all these years.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

"Ukrainian drone units & government officials said connections with Starshield, a military-grade service using Starlink’s infrastructure, continued to fail in most of the country when drones flew faster than 161 kilometers an hour, equivalent to around 100 miles an hour." www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

Kudos to the reporter here, who does something we almost never see: she interrupts Trump to try to make him and answer the question she asked, not allowing him to bloviate.

“D.O.J. making this claim this late smells of political interference and is against D.O.J. policy…The feds have absolutely no authority to tell Alaska when and how to certify…certainly not 11 days before an election.” @marypeltola.com @ms.now @cnn.com @npr.org www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...
