There was a brand new allegation that the president raped a woman in the 1990s yesterday and it appears to not be on the NYT homepage at all right now
Dave Levitan@davelevitan.bsky.social · 3d agoIt is short and so I assume they are looking into things but it is... interesting... that the NYT piece on the new House Dems report on Trump ties to Epstein simply does not mention the brand new rape allegation and says whatever this is instead www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...
![A new report written by Democratic staff aides on the Judiciary Committee accuses Mr. Trump of being “an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women,” though [highlight] it largely cites allegations that have already been public.

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
Young ‘uns: this stuff happened once a week during Obama’s presidency. Dijon mustard. Moving a bust of Churchill. Inviting a rapper to the White House. Putting his feet up on his desk. They’d scream and cry for days about how effete and snobby and Black he was and how misinderstood they were.
zeet (irrigation engineer)@zeet.bsky.social · 2d agoRepublicans are so weird, man.
First of all this is racist af. Second of all, it’s wildly untrue. And third of all, a group of people does not need to produce science or literature to be fully human or whatever!!! What is this, 1780??? (This is a topic in my book btw)
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 2d agoRFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
It’s true though. People who “don’t talk politics” are obviously idiot GOP voters. Because we blue voters talk about this shit all the time. :)

It’s literally her abuser calling her a liar but this scumbag claims it’s not about abuse. Asshole.

The time to determine whether Dan J. Sullivan Jr. could appear on the Alaska ballot for U.S. Senate was months ago, and Alaska courts did so. What's additionally batshit about this is that the candidates' names are printed on the ballot in a way which makes abundantly clear who's who.

I need to brace you all…. That asshole is expected to spend $4m airing that ad across multiple platforms. That means… they will ABSOLUTELY air on broadcast media and your local stations have NO CHOICE but to air them. None. By law they MUST. Do not harass your local stations. Do not.
Man, my heart just hurts for @amyactonoh.bsky.social I cannot imagine what it must feel like to have the POTUS side with your abuser. All I see is a little ten year old girl being told she’s a liar. Then I see this strong, confident, grace filled survivor holding her own against it all. 👇🏻

The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.
Of course this POTUS would call a child rape victim a liar. He’s trash. Fucking TRASH. And the entire GOP should bd tossed away along with him. Asshole.
Anything short of withdrawing the endorsement is not enough. This asshole is about to spend $4 million to call a twelve year old girl a liar and side with her rapist. DeWine and Husted have not done enough. This is not enough.

Lad started a Duolingo streak the night I was admitted to the hospital after a trip to the ER. The last day I smoked a cigarette. Today, I said: sometimes I still reach into my pocket to have one. It’s hard. He said in reply: It’s been 155 days. And that’s the kind of awesome he is. That I need.

Remember when folks told the tech bros that AI wasn’t some revolutionary new form of tech & that it would actually expose just how mediocre they & others like them truly are & they scoffed? Yeah, the “geniuses” don’t even realize they’re admitting we were right in their own advertising.
