"Hoaxes POTUS" ... The felon's magic lies will make it disappear.

Dohrmann continues: Whether incompetence or simply cruelty, it's inexcusable to comply with the most basic requirement that complaint be sworn....Raises serious concerns about credibility of the government's case.

Counsel for Floris -- Dohrmann -- says she wants to name the elephant in the room. This is about "political football," not the law or the facts of the case. These are decorated public servants.

NEW: The 9th Circuit blocked Trump's attempt to bypass a lower court to disenfranchise 20k Californians it alleges are noncitizens. But in its ruling, two of the panel judges suggested paths for the court to shut down the administration's bid to meddle in the midterms. https://demdock.com/4zWSsCy

Follow @annabower.bsky.social for coverage of the Floris/Benavides case.

Boob jobs, lip injections, hair extensions and booty implants may elevate a conservative woman to trophy wife status or secure employment as a propaganda mouthpiece. But none of it can suppress his appetite for children.

Hearing was supposed to start at 11 am. Defense counsel was present at scheduled start time. So was FBI agent Bryan Witt (who was listed on affidavit for superseding complaint). But Witt said he was waiting on 3 DOJ attorneys.....approximately 30 min later, appears they are all here now.

Andddddd this just came through on the docket 😂

"The fight over the fate of East Potomac Golf Links has revealed the almost impossible position the courts find themselves in when they can’t trust the government after all." @mollyroberts.bsky.social explains why a case over President Trump’s plans to renovate a golf course matters.

The complaint added obstruction counts against Floris and Benavides... But, weirdly, the affidavit was unsworn. And it was by a different FBI agent. And the case is in DC, with the predicate acts all occurring in DC, but the agent is based in Phoenix storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

somehow, the niche golf course case I became obsessed with last winter developed into a national news story! here's my opus on how that happened, for @lawfaremedia.org: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/how-...

From @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social re USA v Floris:

Kind of amazing that neither the Washington Post nor The New York Times have an article this morning on the House Democrats' report on new details about Trump's alleged rape history as revealed in the Epstein files, but People magazine does. #rape #TrumpRape

Trump DOJ’s demand for emergency order in California vote counting dismissed by appeals court ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/10/26/r...

EXTREMELY VIP READ!👇 What’s the odds ALL 7 Swing States flipped from BLUE to RED in the 2024 Election? ONE in EIGHT “OCTILLION”! That’s extremely unlikely! Yet ALLEGEDLY that FELON did it! (With LOTS of TECHNICAL HELP from his TRILLIONAIRE ELON!)

Massey alleged that the self-styled “Secretary of War” had illegally started a war with Iran without the consent of Congress among other “high crimes and misdemeanors,” Nice to see an elected Republican who still has balls. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #Pinks #SheShed

With almost no advance warning, DHS has suspended its Acquisition Forecast Planning System tool. Contractors relied on this to see what new contracts the agency would be soliciting — and so did we. Now it looks like no new advanced notice will be given between Oct. 30 and Nov. 5.

Note: The “preliminary hearing” scheduled for today could be quite interesting & consequential. It’s not an initial appearance—it’s a probable cause hearing in which the magistrate decides whether to dismiss the complaint. Witnesses could be called, with cross examination by the defense.

Attacking Iran wasn't in President Trump's political interest, but at least it wasn't in the national interest either.

A Judiciary Committee report released new, credible allegations that the President of the United States is a serial rapist. Politico: The Mayor uses a gym to play hoops.

ONE WEEK OUT — and Democrats have the wind at their backs. Both parties now expect a Democratic House. The Senate is still a knife fight. The stunning part: Dems now think they could lose as few as ONE House incumbent. But momentum means nothing if we stay home. Vote early. Donate. Volunteer. 💙

The Lincoln Project's brilliant new ad: "SICK."

Israel does not do ceasefires Ever Independent journalism has been telling corporate journalism this for years and years and absolutely nothing we say can get them to listen or even simply look at the facts in front of their faces Never ever ever ever report that Israel has agreed to a ceasefire

Racists think that a Black man should never have been US president and virtually all criticism of Obama comes around to that eventually Which is not to say there is nothing to criticize him for, only that 99% of the people for whom it is extremely important to criticize him are unrepentant racists

This heckler is all of us ✊🏾

VICTORY: A federal court just put the chainsaws down at East Potomac Park The plan was to turn a public park into a private tournament course for Trump & wealthy golfers. The trees stay while we fight it out in court @democracydefendersfund.org & partners are on the case 👇- TN

Perfect 👇

The release of the Epstein files might help save us from disaster.

He's hallucinating in public again None of this ever happened

Regarding the Catholic Priests in the photo at the WH: save the excuses. You were NOT “tricked.” You were invited…and you went. Should there be a GOD…he or she is fucking pissed at your dumb asses.

Ohio’s biggest newspaper broke its own rules to endorse Amy Acton, calling Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad disqualifying. “Using childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it crosses a line Ohioans should defend, whatever their party.” thedailybeast.com/trumps-maga-...

TRUMP: “Have you seen the crowd outside? 22,000 people watching. We love you out there. They’re watching the Jumbotrons.” 📌 The entire population of Corinth, Mississippi, is approximately 14,000 people. The man can’t even lie right.

BREAKING: Preliminary injunction granted in the golf course case by Judge Reyes! The threat to close & destroy this historic property is the latest act of Trump corruption that the courts have responded to Kudos to our wonderful clients & cocounsel @democracyforward.org & Lowell & Associates
