Trump really regrets having a distinctive signature right about now.

REPORTER: Do you maintain that you did not write a letter for Jeffrey Epstein's birthday? TRUMP: Somebody could've written a letter and used my name

It is Nazi Edolf and this sewer of Nazism, fascism, conspiracy theories, extremists or right and left fanatical bigots of all political colourings, Judenhass, religious multifarious mad ideologies, and garden variety lunatics that need to be squeezed into commercial extinction.

Between Musk & the Trump administration, Media Matters has been squeezed to the brink. In settlement discussions, lawyers for X demanded the organization hand over all its cash and shut down — all because MM reported ads appeared on X next to antisemitic content. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/u...

If that’s the case, you’d have to suspect RFK Junior would have been immersed in fluoride each day.

RFK Jr: "We found that there's a direct inverse correlation between fluoride exposure and low IQ in children. So the more you get, the stupider you are."

Other nations are going to have to prepare for the fact that at some stage they may need need to quarantine anyone who’s been in the United States with this certifiable lunatic in charge of public health.

Many recent Russian statements show that Putin remains uninterested in engaging in good faith negotiations and retains his objective of destroying the Ukrainian state while the Kremlin has offered no public indication that it would materially compromise.

Don’t worry, everyone. Our HHS Secretary has a bag of meth, a blowtorch and some de-wormer and he’s all over this.

Kevin Hassett on Trump's avian flu plan: "What we need to do is have better ways w/ bio-security & medication & so on to make sure that the perimeter doesn't have to kill the chickens. To have a better, smarter, perimeter...they're killing chickens to stop the spread, but chickens don't really fly"

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

Biden: "I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. That's the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people and the dangerous consequences if their abuse of power is left unchecked. Today, an oligarchy is taking shape"

We have established a playing field in which the forces of MAGA can slander, libel, and defame with near impunity...while simultaneously using libel law to attack legitimate critics in an attempt to chill everyone else’s speech.” From @jvl.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

open.substack.comWeakness Is a ProvocationABC News, billionaires, media orgs, and CEOs are surrendering to Trump because they think he’s a lame duck. They’re making a terrible mistake.

I do not support condescending, privileged elites telling people in the west and northwest what facilities they can and cannot enjoy. This won’t stop problem gambling. Let’s be a model for best practice in responsible gambling management instead. @essendonfc #Essendon

Imagine this happening on a daily basis in any country with a free press, remembering that this is not a defensive war but an unprovoked, unnecessary invasion

Trump is about to see criminal cases against him dismissed and civil cases potentially won on appeal, and has been told by the Supreme Court that he can do pretty much anything he wants to do as president because as long as he dresses it up as an official act, it’s legal.

"He asked why British far-right figurehead Tommy Robinson had been imprisoned at all. Musk also approvingly shared Robinson’s documentary to his more than 200 million followers" Musk's interventions should be taken seriously. The ideological leanings of oligarchical media barons can affect us all.

Censorship will begin - in the name of "anti-censorship"

Hannah Murphy@mshannahmurphy.bsky.social

Trump has vowed to crack down on universities involved in misinformation research, or what he dubs the "censorship cartel" - e.g. by curbing funds to those that have "flagged content for removal”, or legal threats “I'm pretty fucking scared," one professor tells me. www.ft.com/content/bfb4...

countries that don't want Musk to influence their internal politics have some hard choices ahead

Anne Applebaum@anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu

There is now some hard evidence that X boosted the Trump campaign and suppressed the Harris campaign. What's to stop Musk from doing the same in other countries? www.threads.net/@profsander....

He ran the most extreme campaign in American history, using language that no presidential candidate has ever used. Why would anyone be surprised that he wants to run an extreme presidency?
