Swiss Model Who Accused Trump of Rape Fears for Her Safety: ‘I Am Scared’

"None of these allegations are true," White House spokesperson Lauren Bis told @Newsweek.

"It was from the U.S. and clearly directed to me and my family if I continue to spread the word in America," Keul told my colleague @joshuarhett

On the verge of becoming Speaker, @hakeemjeffries could soon face a very anti-establishment Democratic caucus. His life has prepared him for the moment.

I interviewed over two dozen people from Brooklyn to D.C. about Jeffries' anti-establishment origins and rise—and what that history says about how he’d lead.

The data to me says that if anything the issue of Israel is helpful to El-Sayed in Michigan.

He does better among voters who say it's extremely impt to their vote than overall.

Most Mich voters & indies want military aid ended or reduced to Israel.

AIPAC is deeply unpopular.

📊Donald Trump remains deeply unpopular among urban voters, but his net approval rating in Echelon Insights polling improved by 20 points between July and October – a shift that could influence the midterms, experts and strategists told @Newsweek.

🐶Video from a robot dog helped detectives identify and arrest two murder suspects in a Georgia drive-by shooting which killed a 13-year-old boy and a 45-year-old man, police told @Newsweek, in what it is believed is the first time this has happened in the U.S.

Many say the Republican Party of old died in 2024. Texas may be proving otherwise. As Ken Paxton trails James Talarico in the polls, George Bush Republicans hold the keys to victory or defeat.

"They don’t feel like they have a party or a home anymore,” @DadePhelan told me.https://t.co/bc7ltCnMR8

📈President Donald Trump’s approval rating among rural voters has flipped, @Newsweek analysis of national polling data finds, putting him one point above water after a steep September decline.

SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.

The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.

Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.

Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

“In late spring 2020, a source I knew to be reliable called me with a story,” writes Matthew Cole. “The Dutch government had hacked into Jared Kushner’s phone and monitored him as he accessed a Dubai-based bank account. What was odd, the source said, was that the money in the account—hundreds of millions of dollars—had come from a bank in Azerbaijan. Most importantly, Kushner appeared to have transferred significant amounts of money from the Dubai account to other individuals, including a warlord, a mercenary and a one-time hit man. The story sounded preposterous, I told my source. And yet.

Six months later, I found myself speaking with someone else about the UAE government and their use of mercenaries in conflicts around the Middle East and Africa when I asked, on a whim, whether they knew anything about Kushner and bank transfers from a UAE account. My acquaintance grew quiet. Then they replied, ‘Yes.’” Kushner’s lawyer denied the bank account existed.

New York Times national reporter: Lifelong Jewish Democrats in Detroit suburbs say they’re voting Republican for the first time.

"That’s a big deal. I don’t know of any other marquee race in the country right now where the Republican candidate is converting Democrats."

Kansas Republicans could be on the verge of losing their ruby red slippers, and that's not just because of Adam Hamilton's strength as a Senate candidate.

Governor Laura Kelly has slowly been building @KansasDems into a formidable organizing force.

Now we can say it definitively.

Elon Musk donated $158M to SLF.

SLF donated $158M to Texas PAC.

SLF is Texas PAC's only donor.

Elon Musk is singlehandedly funding Texas PAC, which is boosting Ken Paxton.

Me and Ilhan Omar are far apart policy wise. I’m pro life, she’s pro abortion. I’m pro 2A, she’s pro gun control. And on and on.

But can someone tell me how pretending to get ready to deport Ilhan Omar is going to bring gas down under $2, make health insurance freaking affordable, make a family’s weekly grocery bill make sense, and stop sending our beloved military off to fight for another fucking foreign war???

People are so sick and tired of the bullshit.

When you dumb mf’ers at the WH actually release the Epstein files and lock up the pedophiles and rapists you all hang out with, then we will start paying attention.

Until then 🖕.
