So hard to pick a favorite part of this article. Pretending that sending unsolicited dick pics at 53 was a “youthful indiscretion” is good, but don’t sleep on the argument that his wife forgave him for subjecting other women to unwanted nude photos so everyone else should too

For the nonlawyers: This is an accurate description of the DOJ's position. Legally, as they frame it, it is an "Air Bud" argument - new, but no rule against it. It's simultaneously bananapants clownshoes crazy and morally reprehensible.

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.

It's precisely because he didn't show mercy to the Black people of Chicago, that he will never be president.🤷🏿‍♂️ 1. You can't win the US presidency as a Democrat if Black people don't like you. 2. Black people don't like Rahm Emanuel because of what he did after cops killed LaQuan McDonald.

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.

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 don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.

The fact that Donald Trump is pursuing a legal vendetta against the guy who systematically ignored department policy to become a but-for condition for Trump winning in 2016 is a lesson too many elites still haven't learned www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/10/its-...

Related: I’m still looking for leads and help on jobs, fellowships, and freelance contracts on drones, GIS, aid, disaster, OSINT, tech ethics, and journalism. I simply will not work for evil people and/or weapons manufacturers, which is also why I haven’t had paying work since Trump 2.0 began.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

Guess all those searches for fraud in 2020 that he's got like half the government working on aren't panning out.

White people calling the police on a Black toddler and police responding are why it's always and forever the racism, not "economic anxiety."

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

This is such bullshit. If the issue actually was that other kids can't get the ball, you can work with the literal three year old on passing, a very useful skill or soccer players. If you can't do that, what are you doing teaching soccer. But I'm betting they can do that. They just didn't.

Man's best friend? I don't know, but my dog and I are currently taking the same antibiotic.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

correct states further down the path of autocracy than us have had those autocracies overthrown by sufficiently large voting numbers recently we can do it here too

Trent is empathetic, creative, and an animal lover.

the DOJ is basically acting as if the president’s delusions are true

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

In his (rather dubious) defense, Republican voters have shown him again and again that they love bigotry more than the constitution, the country, the troops, their jobs, drinking water, affordable food, their dignity, their own families, and even their own lives.

A) 12 year old girls are bigger than 12 year old boys have you ever seen a sixth grade class photo B) If you let trans kids get blockers they will often remain physically pre-pubescent into their teens C) go suck a lemon

if voting didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to stop you

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

Women were 84% as likely to vote for Trump as men. In prewar Germany, women were 82% as likely to vote for Hitler as men. Men's brains may have been cooked, but if so, they were cooked by an ancient evil far older than the internet.🤷🏿‍♂️

interestingly this interest in black voters doesn’t extend to the republican effort to deprive them of federal representation, nor do they seem interested in asking whether republican candidates are burdened by the fact that trump talks like a klansman

Editor's note: a birth certificate does, in fact, make you an American. Unfortunately, so does institutional racism. Mickey Rooney's stunt double here can go fuck himself.

Brazil extended voting hours in lieu of the attempts at voter suppression seen today. We'll know the results soon enough. I hope for all our sakes Lula wins.

Everyone who is saying "Dems in red states have to throw trans people under the bus to win" -- no. They don't. When they do that, we just start with no winning options on the table. It gives in to the fascist premise that we get to decide some groups don't get rights. THIS is what I want to see.

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

The best advice I give anyone recording a podcast is to record 30 seconds with everything set up and nobody in the room. Use that for noise removal and the sound quality instantly improves hugely.

Ever notice "abusers can grow and change" uniformly comes from people who haven't actually checked if someone grew or changed? It's like a magic wand of sentiment they wave over harm.

the point of cheesecake factory is it's classy AND fancy AND trashy AND goofy. staff in fresh-pressed restaurant whites but half the menu items are cheeseburgers. you look equally normal eating there in a suit or in jorts. kris jenner filmed a music video there. it's the fever dream of John Everyman

This is the good shit and makes Turek's bullshit all the more unacceptable

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”

It’s book of James, coincidentally, that explicitly says that faith without works is dead.
