September: Is the United States Abandoning Saudi Arabia at Its Moment of Need? The tepid U.S. response left Saudi Arabia with an enduring grievance: Its principal defense partner sat by while the kingdom was brazenly attacked by its principal adversary. www.csis.org/analysis/uni...

csis.orgIs the United States Abandoning Saudi Arabia at Its Moment of Need?Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia are putting its “upgraded relationship” with the United States to the test.

Russian satellites help Iran’s allies strike Saudi Arabia. Iranian-backed Houthis militia made precision strikes last month on pumping stations of Saudi Arabia’s most important oil pipeline. Days later, another attack hit a Saudi military air base, damaging an Italian fighter jet inside a hangar.

Off the charts Trump family corruption. Kushner got Billions of foreign funds, while spearheading foreign policy. And the Hunter Biden hunters are silent. @MarshaBlackburn

Beyond a new rape allegation, the @democrats-judiciary.house.gov report implicates current Attorney General Todd Blanche, stating he "may have engaged in criminal obstruction of justice while acting on a mission to protect Trump," referring to an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. Seems like news!

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?

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

@marcelias.bsky.social : “Mr. Blanche... we have beaten you and your team in court like a drum. So I hope you don't do what you are threatening or insinuating you might do. But if you do, I will see you in those courtrooms. I will win. And then I will dance on your head for those victories.”

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

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.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Seems like Trumpu knows Mary Peltola will become Senator for Alaska.

Democracy Docket@democracydocket.com

NEW: At least 18 voting centers in Alaska Native communities have not opened despite early voting having already started in the state last week. “There is no legal excuse for the failure to open these sites,” one state senator wrote to the Alaska elections chief.

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

The POTUS, who almost certainly ordered his lickspittle at DOJ to indict Comey for "mishandling natl security information," is the same traitor who absconded with PALLETS of boxes of top secret documents that he stored at his shitty wedding venue—probably b/c it was easier to sell them from there.

Why does Donald Trump so desperately want everyone to stop talking about the Files?

Our latest report traces explicit accounts involving 11 women who directly implicate him in Epstein’s crimes and network. So, yes, stop talking about the Files if you want to protect the President from the truth.

It doesn’t matter how wealthy you are, how powerful you are, or whether you are a Democrat or Republican. If you were involved in Epstein’s crimes or abused women and girls, you should be held accountable. Period.

Folks, if you hate authoritarianism, you should be feeling good this morning. In Serbia, a student-led movement just ousted a longtime strongman, peacefully. And we Americans should be paying attention, because we have a chance in November to send a similar message. (link below)
