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.

ms.nowHouse Judiciary Democrats release 50-page report on Trump’s alleged involvement in Epstein filesThe report — issued just eight days before the election — makes multiple, uncorroborated allegations against the president while also detailing discrepancies in his statements about Epstein.

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

Midwestern farmers, the most recent recipients of multi-million-dollar bribes from the Trump regime, rejoiced at the news. Jon Husted, who has abandoned his attempt to remain in the Senate, told CBS that he accepted a $15 million salary to distribute the bribes, along with the title”Gospodin”.

Trump has been undermining his own party for months, continuously causing more headaches for Republicans even long after most presidents would’ve taken the cue to stop. Now he’s trying to bully Republicans into embracing a vile political ad that weaponizes a situation involving child sexual abuse.

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

I’m a Program Officer and scientist at NIH, writing in my own personal capacity, and RFK Jr. is harming the NIH. I look with alarm at the harms he has done to our sister agencies, FDA and CDC, and to public health in general.

This week, NIH advisors rebuked RFK for harming #NIH and US science. Sheryl Gay Stolberg reported it. Then RFK posted calling her sources anonymous or corrupt. I'll say this hoping it does good: I'm an NIH scientist, I'm not anonymous, and RFK Jr is destroying NIH. More in attachment:

The short-term risks from election interference look even more concerning when we consider the possibility that a fight over the outcomes might not remain contained to the courtroom. Trump has refused to rule out invoking ON SPURIOUS GROUNDS the Insurrection Act in regard to the elections.
