It's factual, it's damning, and it's sure to drive him crazy.

Every Dem needs to use the exact same phrase literally every time they say his name. Something that’s much more powerful than Crooked Hillary is Jury Certified Rapist Donald Trump.

What's happened tonight so far: → Dems flipped NY03, George Santos' congressional seat. → Dems also secured the majority in the Pennsylvania House, defending a legislative seat. Not over! We're also watching a big minimum wage vote on the West Coast. boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

The answer to every story about elite college admissions is to make sure every American has access to a low price high quality public education within a reasonable drive of their hometown. The wild thing is we mostly achieved this. Then destroyed it.

This is a substantial judgment against Trump and will be a real liability to the extent there is a still a court system that enforces judgments against him in 2025.

A jury has awarded $83.3 million to E. Jean Carroll in her suit against Donald Trump. For Trump fans, that’s the equivalent of 640.77 porn stars.

Incels are just sociopaths that were lousy at sports.
