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

Seven highlights from the House Judiciary Committee's jaw-dropping new report on Trump's sexual depredations, including a very detailed account of a new rape Trump committed in the Plaza Hotel in Atlantic City.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Huge headlines around the world. In major US media, unreported. Something's fishy here.

Damn. Marc Elias is not playing

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.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

I wonder how much of this type of AI agent activity is not being reported? I mean, how would we know?

An embarrassment to the world

Google was really trying to hide its water use figures, to the degree that it got the council to try to keep its water use figures secret. The community finally got the actual numbers and found out Google was using 29 percent of the water in the community. www.wired.com/story/what-t...

🤦 Local cops aided ICE in arresting and detaining 10% of a small town in Texas.

Hello, new followers. I track ICE flights and third-country removals at @prospect.org. This is what the ICE Air operation looked like yesterday, Oct. 23, 2026. --88 flights --14 removal stops --3 third-country removal stops --Nearly all adult passengers shackled at the ankles, wrists & waist.

The Republican Party is giving us cancer. The New York Times doesn't say it that directly, but its investigation proves it.

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

The BBC is doing something important, refusing to be intimidated by a powerful person trying to use the legal system to punish criticism and discourage scrutiny. They’re schooling the American press on what the 1st Amendment means. Read about it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-bbc-st...

Paging Adrian Tchaikovsky

If you were waiting for your sign to donate to an insurgent campaign for Congress in Missouri...this is your sign. I'm current polling 5 points ahead of 14 yr incumbent Ann Wagner in a seat held by the GOP for 34 years. I need you now. We can take this across the finish line and change Missouri.

NEWS: Robert De Niro delivers a blistering rebuke of Trump and the Supreme Court in a new video condemning threats to voting rights. “I’ve got a message for them: no f**king way.” He urges Americans to vote early and protect their right to vote. Watch.

🚨🚨🚨 Q: Is there any scenario in which DOJ would try to block states from certifying the election? AG TODD BLANCHE: Yes, of course. It is not DOJ's intention to improperly interfere with elections or the state certification process, but ...

I voted Yes on the billionaire tax (prop 40 in CA)

If you haven't voted yet, please make a plan to vote. #vote #voteblue #stopthemadness #stoptrump

what is even happe ning

Vomit 🤮

End ICE.

The anti-free-speech head of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, is threatening to punish news outlets that publish polls showing Trump's deep unpopularity. We are sliding into a dictatorship, and it would be helpful if major media would do their duty and warn the public.

Succinct and to the point

Just 10 people have already poured over $1 BILLION into this year’s midterm elections. 90% has gone to Republicans. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas. He wants our land, he wants our water, and he wants his own personal U.S. senator. He’s trying to buy Texas. But on November 3rd, we’ll deliver a clear message to the world’s first trillionaire: Texas is not for sale.

"Now that the Trump/Putin alliance has been indelibly formalized, denial is no longer a remotely reasonable option" — @davidrlurie.com

Months of fears around the use of armed immigration enforcement to affect national elections appear to be coming to fruition. Federal authorities announced the arrest in California of at least 11 people and charges against 28, alleging they registered to vote as noncitizens.

Doesn’t have to be this way. Beyond tragic.

GOP fever dream of attacking California coming true

If Marc is saying it we’d better listen.

Washington Post has released series of new polling this morning Perhaps this is the most striking finding:

We already have flying cars. They're called helicopters. They're really expensive and there are good reasons you have to have a pilot license and work with air traffic control to fly them. Putting jets on a sedan is not going to result in a better vehicle or transportation experience in any way.

I was in the letter V. It was a fine day to be out protesting. Now let’s get out the vote and take control of Congress!

One widely loathed, ketamine-addicted, white-supremacist billionaire can single-handedly keep a failing political party afloat, through the brute force of money. Excellent system we've set up here.

Strange that Meta would pull down the No Kings Instagram account on this Day of Action. You have to wonder if Zuckerberg will get any oligarch points from the regime.

This is their big gambit to ratf*ck the election. CA is just the first state they are coming for.

In case you missed it, read our reporting here:

whoa... the current map of "No Kings: Vote Early" events planned for tomorrow, sat oct 17: www.nokings.org

Democrats need to run hard against Elon Musk. They need to warn the public that the world's richest man is spending $276 million to attempt a hostile takeover of our government.

Get ‘em Norm!

It’s happening.

I keep thinking of how morally bankrupt it was for Republican lawmakers to wear AR-15 lapel pins.

Do you need a nice little cry? Here you go.
