It is shocking that an adjudicated rapist could ever be elected president in the most advanced nation in the world. It is not shocking that he might have done that more than once (since he bragged about his prowess with sexual assault). Keul was a former Miss Switzerland. Anything to say Melania?

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...

Funny that the Republican talking point is that this was a diss of the Cheesecake Factory. Ok. I agree. The White House decor is way worse and nothing should be compared to that.

Just putting it out there: I love the Cheesecake Factory, with or without Saddam Hussein’s decor. That Linda’s Fudge Cake… oof. 👏🏽 #sorrynotsorry

I think what the old time Democrats are missing is that nothing in the Progressive agenda can be implemented without their support and, likely, the support of moderate Republicans. In addition, people may not be drawn to the Progressive agenda. They may just want someone who will fight.

"Trump on Friday said he told his administration to file its lawsuit to block certification of the U.S. Senate race in Alaska if Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan loses." So, it's ok to cheat when you win. Says it all. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Shame on CBS, Washington Post, the law firms, and all the others who surrendered without a fight. Loads of respect to those carrying the fight for everyone else.

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...

"[H]e wants to reach is $20 billion. And he'd probably like to put in place deals that ... can generate for the Trump family $100 million." Trump is clearly able to set goals and execute against them. As long as they benefit him directly. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

If America elects a Republican House and Senate on November 3, we'll get worse than nothing. We'll have 2 more years of unfettered Donald Trump. (And no check either.) This man is falling apart before the eyes of the world.

Trump: "If you elect a Republican House and Senate on November 3, you'll get $5,000. And if we lose, you get nothing."

Good news.

🚨 NEWS: Ukraine says Starlink connectivity is being restored at speeds of up to 160 km/h, following restrictions that threatened Ukrainian military operations, per Ukraine’s Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.

Here's another perspective on the Ukraine - Starlink situation. Ultimately you have to wonder what Donald Trump promises to Vladimir Putin when they are on the phone. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

More than 400 trees were cut down in D.C.'s East Potomac Park this weekend. A furious federal judge said the government failed to give proper notice of the work amid an ongoing lawsuit.

"There are 22 days until the midterm elections, and a long-standing Justice Department practice tells prosecutors to be especially careful about actions near an election that could appear to help or hurt a candidate." Guess we don't have to worry about that anymore. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Republicans are upset that their mobile phone numbers were caught up in the Trump probe because they called him before, during, and after Jan 6 but they are totally ok with this. One is DOJ weaponization and the other isn't. Do I have that right? Total hypocracy. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

It was not incoherent and sane washing doesn't help. He was very specific. He named 2 California cities where he sent ICE and got protests. And then said it would be worth it. There was nothing incoherent about it. It was very specific. And got a laugh which is worse. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

yahoo.comTrump’s comment about Iran nuking Los Angeles and San Diego was incoherent, not maliciousPresident Donald Trump says many bizarre and even hateful things. But signaling he would allow Iran to nuke Los Angeles and San Diego is not one of them.

It would appear the administration is aware that they are committing war crimes and are trying to protect themselves. Good luck with that.

Voter bribes have reached mailboxes. Another crime committed by The Don.

As checks from President Trump for health costs hit millions of mailboxes, a poll shows Americans don't trust Republicans on healthcare. Experts doubt it will move the needle and say it is likely illegal. n.pr/4rPbmbE

No, I'm sorry. You can't. If you want respect, you have to earn it. And you have only earned contempt. And possibly criminal charges. You've earned those too.

Trump: "I could've done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could've done very very bad things to Joe Biden. I could've done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama ... I can do whatever I want, if I want."

That will also reduce reserves and eventually raise the price of fuel for farmers cutting into their minimal profits. Looks like Republicans are sacrificing farmers to make truckers slightly less upset?

NPR@npr.org

Trump is temporarily allowing this fuel to be used on highways, although it's typically just for off-road farm and construction vehicles. Could that lower the price of diesel? n.pr/4hHUv5R

It is not possible that Trump has any concept of what "morally binding" actually means. That would require personality characteristics he does not posses.

TRUMP SAYS ON A MEETING WITH AI LEADERS THAT HE THINKS THE DOCUMENT IS 'MORALLY BINDING' AND THAT HE IS SEEING 'TREMENDOUS SELF-POLICING', WITH AI LEADERS UNDERSTANDING THAT.
