Damn good question.

RFK Jr. may not know anything about Arabian literature, but he is certainly familiar with (at least) 40 thieves.

There are credible allegations of rape against the president, and evidence his administration has taken steps to cover up his relationship with the world's most notorious pedophile. This story is being covered more aggressively by People Magazine than the NY Times, Wash Post, or Wall St Journal.

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

One heck of a story about how oil companies face no consequences for their serious violations in Oklahoma. This Oil Company Is Linked to 1,000 Pollution Incidents and Other Violations. Oklahoma Never Punished It. @nickbowlin.bsky.social @readfrontier.bsky.social

This administration is killing us. Vote accordingly.

The Paxtons’ blind trust invested $600K in a convicted fraudster’s new company. Experts say the trust wasn’t truly blind as the Paxtons reported losses from it on their taxes. Angela Paxton also sat on an affiliate’s advisory board for several years. with @texastribune.org

If we look at what Russia is doing on the ground every day, I don't think there's anything to suggest that peace is what they're seeking. What they're seeking is submission."

Swedish PM Ulf Kristersson: "I think the key must be to support Ukraine. Peace must be on Ukraine's terms. Peace must be achieved from a position of strength, not by appeasing Russia. If talks lead to that, then talks are a good thing.

UPDATE: Trump’s DOJ is fighting to send armed agents back to the homes of naturalized citizens to ask about their voter eligibility. This comes after a lower court blocked the armed visits in 9 states.

"For nearly a year, immigration authorities have detained and sought to deport a mentally ill man whose mother, lawyers and public records say was born in the United States and not Jamaica as he claims..." apnews.com/article/ice-...

To reiterate: his direct family, official US documents, AND the medical experts who evaluated him are all saying that Phillip James is a Florida-born man who is suffering from schizophrenic delusions... but DHS disagrees.

There are strong claims that ICE has been detaining an American citizen who was born in Florida. Phillip James, 39, has been detained for at least 10 months. He's currently in Indiana facing deportation to Jamaica. 🧵

JD Vance: "Today, the Dept of Agriculture is announcing millions of dollars in new grants toward 10 meatpacking facilities right here in the state of Kansas"

He just incoherently blurts out things he thinks sound scary with absolutely no connection to reality.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) claims a legal doctrine that courts should avoid last-minute changes to election rules to avoid confusion isn’t relevant to its effort to bar California from counting the votes of 20,000 people on a list of alleged noncitizens. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration asked Washington to set aside ballots from around 400 registered voters it claims may be noncitizens. The alarming request comes amid the DOJ's legal effort to compel California to do the same to 20k voters.

Good grief. That is scary.

But isn't Microsoft a big AI company? I was told that AI would make everybody wealthy and happy. Is AI...taking people's jobs? Because that would be really bad. If that were the case Microsoft would probably try to keep it secret, maybe by offering tens of thousands of workers "buyouts."

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

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.

The U.S. is the only major economy where planet-warming pollution has increased dramatically in the last year.

Yeah

West Virginia has been part of a nationwide push, partially funded by billionaire-backed political groups, to use taxpayer dollars to fund private schools. Among the proponents are the Koch family network and Pennsylvania billionaire Jeffrey Yass.

Why it matters: Attorney General Todd Blanche says “a number of states” could be next. If the DOJ succeeds here, voters elsewhere could see the same playbook used to stop their ballots from being counted. Read more: www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Disavow the jet.

Lonnie Rouse worked at the Hanford nuclear site for nearly 20 years. It was so toxic, he said, that the floor once melted the rubber off his boots. Now he needs 24-hour care. The DOE has appealed his workers’ compensation claim more than 20 times.

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Very glad to hear that Elon Musk is a stickler for details on contractor – government relationships. Could come in handy later.

The Russian drone operators call this "human safari."

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

Trump Unleashes Racist Tirade That should be the headline in every newspaper.

🤡 Elon Musk says the slaughter of Ukrainians and Russians needs to stop and sympathy is owed even to poor Russian conscripts who have no choice but to fight and die under drone strikes. Really?

Trump is gutting the Clear Air Act and poisoning our air by "prioritizing the economic interests of corporations and easing costs for polluting industries." Congress needs to end this administration's pay-to-play corruption.

For the Americans the war is just an element of a grift; they are, sadly, not negotiators in any sense, just men seeking to make more money from the bloodshed their actions enable.

This is C-O-R-R-U-P-T-I-O-N.   Remember World Liberty Financial? The Trump family crypto venture that’s generated more than $550 million for Trump while in office, run by the son of his Middle East envoy, and nearly half-owned by UAE-linked investors? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“People are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. Were making a frickin’ fortune.”

Is he lying deliberately, or do he actually believe this bs? What do you think?

Former presidents are just roasting the hell out of the White House redo today and it’s going to drive Trump absolutely insane

Me: "Adolf Hitler said in Mein Kampf, 'The Jew works for the destruction of Germany.' You say, 'Muslim mass migration will destroy our country and our way of life.' How are those different sentences? Just change 'Jew' for 'Muslim.' Trump adviser Steve Cortes: "No, they're incredibly different."

Bill Clinton: "I think Congress made a mistake not protesting turning the Rose Garden into what looks like the entrance to Liberace's bathroom"

Austria has increasingly come under scrutiny for providing refuge to individuals wanted in connection with corruption cases in Ukraine, as well as Russian officials and oligarchs, while several senior Austrian officials have maintained close ties to Russia.
