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."

Anna's thread here ended up being 100 posts long. I cannot believe that we're *still* dealing with bullshit made up conspiracy theories about "Hunter Biden's Laptop" in the year 2026. Here's my 2022 post about how much people get wrong about it. www.techdirt.com/2022/12/07/h...

So if you're following, DOJ's theory here is they can file an initial complaint with probable cause based on incorrect facts, then file a superseding complaint that removes those facts and proceed without probable cause. Novel indeed.

does this guy have any friends who are not fraudsters i am just asking

Meet the guy Republicans are hoping to gerrymander into Congress by diluting the voting power of Black people in Memphis.

Went to the NYT homepage to see if they have anything on the new rape allegations leveled at Trump (they do not), saw this, and noped out.

Wow. Stephen Miller is about the change the rules on who can claim asylum.

It's amazing how editors will say "we can't see inside this public figure's mind," "we can't assume their intentions" — and then write stuff like this.

Ken Paxton, while trashing Talarico's Christianity, manages to mispronounce "Christianity" two different ways in the span of three seconds

Don't worry, Flavio! Your future is guaranteed by Donald J. Trump! That's a bet no one has ever come to regret!

There are credible allegations of rape against the president, and evidence his administration has taken steps to cover up his relationship with the world's most notorious pedophile. This story is being covered more aggressively by People Magazine than the NY Times, Wash Post, or Wall St Journal.

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."

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

Thursday is a paid holiday. Because Flavor Flav said so.

He returns

Our media is utterly broken

Yes, I'm sure that'll stop people making fun of this guy.

"So, in Alaska, if Peltola wins, her victory is inherently suspect and must be investigated. And in Minnesota, if Flanagan bests Tafoya, her victory is inherently suspect b/c Trump has declared that Tafoya can’t lose, period, unless Dems cheat. This is the long, stupid shadow of the 2020 election."

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

it is odd in retrospect how easy it was for the “but trump ended his friendship with epstein” narrative to be accepted as fact

No one hates regular Americans more than Trump and Vance

the ADL is more mad about Zohran calling a neighborhood Eastern European than Elon giving a Nazi salute Zohran derangement syndrome is real

There's so much else wrong with this stupid lawsuit but on this specific point: despite being "busy" with "lives" and "jobs," Alaskans were able to spell M-U-R-K-O-W-S-K-I when they reelected her to the Senate as a write-in candidate in 2010 after she lost the GOP primary.

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

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

Average Trump scandal: many people dead after uncontroversial government program illegally cut by doge for nonexistent savings Average mamdani scandal: he’s playing BASKETBALL with his FRIENDS

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

691 words about Cheesecake. 434 words about rape.

RFK talks about autistic and Arabic people the exact same way. He assumes they are not capable of ordinary or extraordinary achievements because of who they are. He considers them sub-human because they are not like him. This makes it plain that his is a white supremacist eugenicist project.

nathan fielder interviewed by isaac chotiner

Not a big story, it's just the Attorney General working with an imprisoned pedophile to help cover up the pedophile President's crimes conducted with his best friend for 15 years, a pedophile who the President sent, as a birthday card, a drawing of a naked adolescent girl.

Evidence "shows that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club," according to a new report from the House Judiciary Dem staff. The report also reveals for the first time Beatrice Keul's account of allegedly having been raped by Trump. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

The NYT story does not even include the word rape. Not once.

Well played

BREAKING: Judge Reyes issues a preliminary injunction in the East Potomac Golf Course case, blocking more tree removal and requiring 10-day notice "before making any irreparable modification to any forms or features" of the park. Background: www.lawdork.com/p/golf-argum...

Motherfucker, you eat roadkill and snort heroin off of shit covered toilets

one of several things making me crazy about the latest report on the president being a rapist is that the response more or less comes down to "we knew that already"

Astonishing: Maxwell was willing to tell Blanche about some of Trump's rapes, and he ordered her not to. "Let's not talk about inviduals." WTF were they there to talk about? There's EVIDENCE on this.

I’ll save you the hate click to note that the author is an interior designer with a podcast and a new book to sell, so just keep on walking

This shit is so pitiful because you know Bessent would never normally enter a chain restaurant

JUST IN: Judge Gleason in Alaska sounds deeply skeptical of DOJ's 11th hour lawsuit there to halt certification if Sen. Dan Sullivan loses. She grants Dems' motion for expedited consideration and notes DOJ waited four months to sue over the ballot. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

did you guys think this would make him seem less cool somehow or what

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.

i know that this happens so often it is an easy target for jokes and ridicule but seriously how does this happen so often

HUGE, GOOD NEWS: In total reversal from Friday’s stonewalling, perjury-flirting “status report,” ICE now says it has secured a one-way travel document so Ahmed Soliman can return to the US via a commercial flight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
