“You’re fake news… you’re fake news….” Trump lashes out like a toddler at reporters telling him his poll numbers suck (with Hispanics too) and there’s no proof of fraud with mail-in ballots despite his lies — both true ✅ ✅

Hear me out. All police misconduct cases paid out of police pension funds. Because as a citizen I'm really sick of public funds being used to pay these AND having to worry about a cop doing something shitty to me because they have no accountability.

Former Republican Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert died this morning. For 16 years, while he was a coach and government teacher at Yorkville High School in Yorkville, Illinois, Hastert sexually abused at least four boys (and likely more). (thread)

In one month from now Trump will be openly seeking to overturn the Nov 3 results. We all know that is coming. That is why Democratic AGs should announce now that if anyone tries to interfere in their election--including Trump-they will prosecute under state law. Trump can't pardon state crimes!

A hallmark of democratic backsliding is government leaders stealing from taxpayers and using public funds to try to get themselves electoral advantages. Backsliding countries keep the form of elections, but corrupt leaders render them no longer free and fair by putting a state thumb on the scale.

I'm a biographer of Trump and Musk, and wrote 5 books—several bestsellers—in which Putin is a key figure. My assessment: it's a three-way tie between these men for Most Dangerous Person Alive. No one else comes close. Stunning, given that Thiel, Altman, Karp, Luckey, Hegseth, and Xi Jinping exist.
