My new book—HOW RUSSIA WON: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and the Fight for America—is now out.

Why?

America, this guy is a liar.

This guy is a Kennedy? An ignorant racist. By the way, Naguib Mahfouz, an Egyptian writer, won the 1988 Nobel Prize in Literature.

Closing argument for the Republicans. Asses and tacky glitz.

This week’s installment of my Stop the Presses newsletter recalls the Republicans’ history of cheating in elections. They’ve often gotten away with it. Let’s make sure cheaters don’t prosper this time.

10 years ago today, Trump’s DC hotel opened. It taught him people will pay a sitting president, and there will be no repercussions. Want to understand the second term’s corruption? Start with the hotel:

Backfire.

There’s desperation behind these Republican ads. But there’s confidence too—that scapegoating Muslims taps into biases many Americans still feel, and that it will be enough to alter some outcomes. The latest edition of The Breakdown from @citizencohn.bsky.social:

Everyone should read these threads I did about industry lobbyists and the EPA and understand them. Take the time to see the unambiguous evidence of what's happening now at this moment inside the EPA. Please retweet them. Please read them. Each one of the threads. It's happening in slow motion.

Is just racism. That’s all they’ve got.

Putin is meddling in the midterms to help Trump by once again mounting a covert disinformation operation that’s spreading phony sex abuse allegations about a Democrat. Ought to be big news.

Serbia to Trump: Drop Dead.

This is the way.

Brazil to Trump: Drop Dead

Trump Unleashes Racist Tirade That should be the headline in every newspaper.

And they don’t know that it’s spelled with a “b.”

The internal polls must be bad.

America First?

Mrs. Miller complains that Dems want to [checks her highlighted passage] prosecute those who committed federal crimes

Can you imagine Trump holding a baby?

This was always going to happen. My guess is that Trump will issue a blanket pardon for every political appointee. Signaling a move like this will embolden his underlings to disregard and break the law. And that's the point.

Trump is literally killing Americans—you!—to increase profits for his corporate cronies. Putting greed—not America—first and making Americans gasp (for clean air) again. Good work, NYT.

Experts say an Arizona land investment company closely tied to Nevada Republican David Flippo is “batshit” and a “huge red flag.” The company targeted fellow conservatives, then spent lavishly on Flippo’s behalf.

So witkoff/kushner toadie sell out negotiations involves cutting Russian companies in on US energy deals? Are we giving Alaska back to Russia?

If you don't kick back to the Don, you're in deep shit.

He's a robot?

How to be a psychotic trillionaire. First, get a trillion dollars....

I'm shocked, shocked.

Racist jerk.

Mike Johnson endorsed this guy.

New Republican conflict of interest just dropped.

Hard to keep track of the Trump/Musk lies.

A well-done ad.

I have some question about the latest conspiracy theory the right is using to try to scare their voters to the polls www.mediamatters.org/laura-ingrah...

NEW: Senate Democrats are gearing up for an investigation into Donald Trump’s “exclusive” dinner for holders of his meme coin.

New: I spoke to experts about a land venture closely tied to Nevada Republican David Flippo. Here's what they said: “Insanity.” “A huge red flag.” “Feasibility is zero.” “A batshit crazy-ass idea.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This is a matter that a congressional investigation could clearly find out what happened.

The latest episode of our new STRESS TEST pop-up video podcast is out. On this show, Garrison Hayes and I—with the help of Mother Jones reporters Abby Vesoulis and Noah Lanard—look at some of the most extreme and problematic GOP candidates of 2026. Subscribe at youtube.com/motherjones

This guy gets more deplorable by the day.

Looks like Trump is playing political games with a war he launched.

In case you missed it, I had a great chat w/ Jon Stewart on The Daily Show about my new book, "HOW RUSSIA WON: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America." To learn more about Putin's decade-long shadow war against the US—and Trump's complicity—check out the book at HowRusssiaWon.com.

Perhaps the most amazing thing in the story is that this Habba, no stellar attorney, is being paid $10 million a year for work that no one can identify & she’s not willing to describe. That’s nuts and smells dirty as hell. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

A 72-year-old man raided by federal agents over alleged illegal voting in California has been identified by his wife as a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump.

Had a great conversation on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart about my new book "HOW RUSSIA WON: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America." Who would think that talking about Trump's betrayal of America could be so amusing? Check out the book: HowRussiaWon.com

Trump says it's too bad that Putin's army did not make it into Kiev and take over the country. Ukraine is an ally of the United States. Or was. Trump is on Putin's side. He wants Putin to win. And I explain this in my new book. Check out HowRussiaWon.com.
