It's absolutely crazy the scandal of Donny Jr's wedding bill being paid by this guy dropped and two weeks later he meets him in Mongolia! Related: Trump said Junior would reimburse has anyone seen the receipts? These people have no bottom.

NEW: We uncovered another trip shared by Donald Trump Jr and Umar Kremlev, the Kremlin-linked oligarch who attended his wedding. In August, they went hunting for a rare wild sheep in the remote Mongolian wilderness:

Kushner took a $50 mn bribe from the Emiratis to orchestrate the firing of Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, according to Matt Cole's new book, Princes and Thieves, out today. To be clear, this is a serious felony, if true.

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.

Donald Trump's deployment of California's National Guard in Los Angeles was an unlawful and unconstitutional abuse of power. It was done over California’s objection — all in an effort to intimidate peaceful protestors advocating for immigrant rights.

nytimes.comCourt Says Trump Violated Law in Los Angeles National Guard DeploymentThe ruling, which comes as the midterm election nears, could make it more difficult for President Trump to seize control of the National Guard.

Bumatay, meanwhile, shows he should not be taken seriously from the opening paragraph of his embarrassing 35-page dissent. Compare the first page of the federal appeals court judge's dissent with the first page of the actual complaint filed in federal court by DOJ. Truly.

So basically someone told Trump today what Cheesecake Factory was, and it probably took a little while to explain to him that they aren’t local factories that make cheesecakes. But he probably still isn’t quite sure what they are.

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

Two former Governors of South Carolina - one from each party - have endorsed Democrat Annie Andrews who is running against Sen. Darline Graham R-SC

Remember when Ted Cruz and other Republicans swooned over Russian military ads to mock Biden and our “woke” troops? An estimated 1.5 million Russian casualties later, Ukraine is still standing. Turns out cosplay tough isn’t real tough

No. The charges are already time barred. Under the relevant statute of limitations, an indictment must be filed within 10 years of the offense, which allegedly occurred on October 5, 2016. This DOJ is out of control.

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com

I believe that DOJ has 30 days to get a grand jury indictment after charging on information unless Comey waived his right to a grand jury indictment, which I kind of doubt. That 30 days would expire 11/4. Is that correct @joycewhitevance.bsky.social @barbmcquade.bsky.social @rparloff.bsky.social ?

Not that long ago, three major lower-court rulings against the executive branch on three unrelated topics would’ve been a busy *month,* and outlets would’ve rushed to write up such a run of adverse rulings. Now, it doesn’t feel unusual when we get three on the same *day.* It’s all … exhausting.

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.

Amanda Marcotte@amandamarcotte.bsky.social

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.

Bill Maher said “fuck you” and called us bitches for being upset he dined with Trump. Then Trump tore into Maher on Truth Social calling him a lying, losery coward. That’s funny to me.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

🚨BREAKING: We have moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Trump from continuing to unconstitutionally impose themselves upon election administration procedures that the Constitution and federal law assign to the States.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

Since I’ve engaged in a few exchanges about this. Let me say a few things about this. First of all this genuinely happens a lot. And it goes back decades. Another commenter reminded of a case back in 2004. I think there’s a key dynamic involved.

I dont know if it's because they love republicans and want them to win but holy crap is this an embarrassment. the equivalent of reckless disregard in terms of journalism fuck ups. Just the simplest damn googling.

Alaska authorities strongly oppose the Trump DOJ’s attempted “interference” in the election. This is significant because there were concerns the state—which sought to DQ the second Sullivan—would take the same side. But it didn’t. Quite the contrary. buff.ly/EJHtDpX

NEW: Appeals court rejects DOJ’s request for quick action in California voting case. On a 2-1 vote, the Ninth Circuit held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the appeal now. Instead, a previously set TRO hearing at the district court should proceed on Tuesday. Tonight, at Law Dork:
