We all wanted Trump to be more pro-woman; we just didn't expect that woman to be Ghislaine Maxwell

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

"It was not until he took office and began courtship with major anti-LGBTQ+ organizations that Trump’s policies included a slate of anti-trans moves. Before that time, Trump expressed indifference, or even support for transgender people."

-- Kate Sosin, @19thnews.org

Was Trump always against LGBTQ+ rights? Everything in his past says no.

The president’s previous support is at odds with his anti-trans hostility now. What’s behind the shift?

The new season of The Peacemaker on HBO is so, so good!

The story, the action, the one-liners, the humor, the pathos. (Also it's anti-Nazi, which in this current American moment, is super approrpriate and necessary!)

Congrats to
@jamesgunn.bsky.social, John Cena, and the entire team.

Anonymous @youranoncentral.bsky.social · 1h

This is what they have been preaching at MAGA churches for years, pastors invoking Trump as a prophet and king, indoctrinating the cult. This is the extent of MAGA "Christianity", they've successfully removed Christ and why they now openly attack Catholics and other denominations.

A second set of pre-trial motions is due by Oct. 30.

Comey’s defense counsel, Patrick Fitzgerald, said he expects that batch to include a motion regarding abuse of grand jury process and an “outrageous government conduct” motion.

The judge also set an initial schedule for pre-trial motions.

The first set is expected by Oct. 12. Per Comey’s defense counsel, that batch will include motions to dismiss for selective and vindictive prosecution, as well as a motion challenging the legality of Halligan’s appointment as US attorney
