This is not a “Michigan Democrats are divided!” Issue. This is not an issue of the party base being skeptical of the nominee. This is about a soon-to-be unemployed congressperson with nothing to show for her time in the house being bitter that she lost a primary to an Arab man.

For those trying to understand what is going on now with the election results in Israel, I found this post from a political scientist there useful

NEW from me: Rebecca Crozier received a fatal diagnosis of anencephaly for her fetus at 11 weeks, but Idaho’s abortion ban makes no exceptions for fatal anomalies, forcing her to travel to Utah. She and her husband have been telling their story to urge a yes vote on Nov. 3 to restore access.

A growing body of evidence demonstrates that Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Republican Roger Marshall's mayor says the senator is not a Kansas resident. "Look, it's quite obvious he doesn't live here anymore." "He lives in Florida. He has a little hunting lodge south of Great Bend in Stafford County. And I think that's an issue for people, from what I hear."

JD Vance says of the Middle East that it's "a region of the world made up of countries whose name I couldn't even pronounce"

I've already seen some effort to bury this as "there's not a lot new here." As if, "What's one more rape victim?" is sound editorial judgment. Republicans kept the Benghazi story going for years on nothing new, but that didn't stop to press from covering every nothing burger they served up.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

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.

Pretty grim footnote to West's career that he ended up serving the richest man in the world's successful attempt to restore white nationalism to the US government.
