In newspapers around the world, the report that Donald Trump raped Béatrice Keul in an Atlantic City hotel room commands huge headlines. In US corporate media, it isn't reported. Ask yourself why that might be. Here's the front page of today's Süddeutsche Zeitung in Munich.

A former Miss Switzerland beauty pageant contestant has accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her at New York's Plaza Hotel in 1993, according to her account to Congress. Trump has denied the allegations.

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

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

You can't expect the New York Times to give any attention to a story about the president being credibly accused of violent rape when the story breaks so close to an election. It's not like we're talking about something *really* important, like email security protocols.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Elon Musk threatens Congress.

Late to this Bloomberg piece on Marc Andreessen. This is one of the key things. Andreessen is *angry* about how he has been treated, when any objective observer might note he has benefited enormously from the institutions he now purports to detest. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Barbra Streisand approves this message

the political part aside, it seems like a pretty big problem that a social media company controlled by a conglomerate that includes two Hollywood Studios is banning an account dedicated to a film from one of its competitors!

As Americans unite to demand change, Meta suspended the No Kings Coalition account during their national day of action. Be angry, and take this anger straight to the ballot box. Vote for Democrats in the midterms: lincolnsquare.media #VoteBlue

Y’all have been in charge for decades @marshablackburn literally wtf are you talking about

Uh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?

Rich people not paying their bills is way too common a story.

This is how you write a headline.

Elon Musk didn’t become one of the most powerful people in American politics overnight. Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney spent years investigating how he got there — and what Silicon Valley’s most powerful people know about him but won’t say publicly.

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed. Do not forget this.

It's not a real political party, folks It just isn't

Nothing divided the citizens more than “Citizens united” 😕 💰

Another obvious complete fabrication. But he knows the people in that room are hardcore cultists who believe all his preposterous lies. Wouldn’t it be great if the ABC, CBS, NBC News would ever start their broadcast with “Trump lied last night about paying for the ballroom.”

ICYMI — Fred Trump 🔥 calls out his Uncle’s 9/11 lies: “His claim he brought a crew of workers to the 9/11 site so offends me I need to speak out. He was not building ‘a big building’ at the time… the U.S. Steel building was not creaking and ready to fall.”

Honestly, I'd say the most disastrous decisions of Obama and Biden were not really holding anyone accountable for crimes committed under the previous administration. Obama wanted to "turn the page" on Iraq and the financial meltdown while Biden never put any urgency behind the January 6th cases

They have bought our government.

“I see pictures of the journalists that have been killed. I see pictures of the children that have been killed. It's on us to make sure that their stories are told,” the Palestinian American doctor says in the documentary.

😕🤷🏼

The Seattle festival shooting makes SCOTUS’s Hawaii ruling look even worse. Hawaii said no concealed guns on private property open to the public without the owner’s permission. The Roberts Court struck it down 6–3. Gun rights over lives. Again.

And any outlet that let Trump pretend he didn’t know anything about it should be shamed into oblivion
