ProPublica could not find evidence Trump ever lived at either of the two Florida properties he claimed as principal residences in the 1990s. Legal documents and other records from the period give his address as Trump Tower in Manhattan.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

the whole goal of our movement should be getting people to vote to implement change to make the country and the world better. a key way to do that is to create constant conflict and friction with the right. again and again highlight their role in fucking up the world and offer a remedy: go vote.

I watched coverage of this election from a Middle Eastern country on CNN international. I genuinely had faith in the court's commitment to its apolitical role. My shock at the decision was echoed by the people in whose country I was living.

Jeffrey Epstein called her “my great defender.” Emails and texts show Goldman Sachs’ top attorney Kathy Ruemmler disparaged reporting on Epstein’s abuse as “rehashed crap,” in 2018 and helped craft a 2019 publication relations comment denying he got a sweetheart deal.

De Snelbinder cycle bridge. Opened in 2004, attached to the side of an existing 1879 railway bridge, it runs for 2km linking Nijmegen to Lent by bike, alongside trains. Same crossing, different century. This is what decades of serious investment in cycling and sustainable urban planning looks like.

the AT&T acquisition of Time Warner and DirecTV alone triggered a massive layoff wave of more than 50,000 (!) people. But each time the press covers a new chapter in Warner merger history that stuff is just completely memory holed. Why do you think that's done editorially, do you wager?

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?

Kagan's dissent is all scorchers, but this is really frying me. As long as state legislatures wait until the last possible minute, according to the SCOTUS majority, they can *always* get away with rigging the lines—no matter how flagrantly—because it'll be the "eve of an election."
