While it is the correct thing to do, these last minute tariff roll back gimmick won't move the needle economically in Maine anytime soon. The move does, however, explicitly confirm that Trump tariffs are bad policy that hurts Americans/ American business Mainers will see right through it. #GoTroy
Trump is exempting some Canadian goods from 50% tariffs while adding new ones: Valves and carpets replace plywood and packing crates; changes take effect Oct. 30, days before Maine Sen. Susan Collins faces voters
This article is neither stunning or an admission of anything..other than the fact Fox News is such a hack shop that they allow college students like Pedro (look him up) to publish misleading bullshit like this, instead of the actual criminality behind it www.foxnews.com/politics/ilh...
it's a well-articulated, fair and valid point... that's downright mainstream for such a "radical left lunatic"! we hear you, AOC
AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"
No amount of fact checks, receipts, data, photos, videos or archived social posts will ever be enough to make this lying son of bitch stop lying... Even if he was being perp walked to prison he'd still be lying and whining.. and his dwindling herd of brainless loyalists would lap it up.
Trump on his rallies: "I have 15,000 people, and I'm disappointed. We have 30,000." (Trump has not had anything close to 15,000 at his recent rallies, let alone twice that)

He wrote a great story based loosely on his childhood.. but the truth is, He didn't fit in then, while he was at Yale, when he was a Marine, and he still doesn't fit in anywhere now. He's awkward as fuck.. Conflicted .. and morally adrift..
You would think given the mythology JD Vance created about his childhood to launch his political career that he would quickly condemn that despicable ad against Amy Acton. But that would require him to have principles and be a decent person.
Andrew Egger @thebulwark.com with a slam dunk analysis in just 20 words!! >>> "The new White House press secretary doesn’t have the one skill Trump’s top flack needs. She just can’t lie good." Conversely, lying confidently was KKKaroline's superpower
This is some Don Jr caliber vetting
White House press secretary Katie Zacharia said Thursday her California Bar exam results are “somewhat inconsequential”... After reporting surfaced that showed she did not pass the examination... When asked, Zacharia said she was “not hired as White House counsel.” thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Mark Jacobs does a great job here of voicing a widely held critique of the NYT: "There’s just a lack of bravery. I think that you should be writing a headline that says that Donald Trump is assaulting democracy.” AME for "standards" Patrick Healy responds with straw men and mush. 1/7
🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

another day.. another cease and desist letter. Why is it so hard for these so-called pro-business Republicans to wrap their heads around intellectual property and copyright law?
This might be the most embarrassing post of all time. Guaranteed every one of these people complained about the @kendricklamar Super Bowl halftime show. Shameless. @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty @timburchett @GlennJacobsTN @BrentTaylorTN
www.propublica.org/article/food... Turns out.. EBT/ food stamp fraud is being perpetrated by far more than the poor.
Cookiegate is a fabulous David v Goliath viral takedown.. In the land of handshake deals and honor.. where Bob Dole and Eisenhower grew up.. You fucked up, buddy
Here’s the predicate for Cookiegate… the baker’s FB post that started Sen. Marshall’s latest fiasco: “For nearly a year, I made repeated attempts to collect payment, reaching out by phone and email. I never received a return phone call, and the invoice was never paid.”
a powerful (albeit depressing) headline from @julieroginsky.bsky.social today >> "Trump is Paying Putin to Murder Ukrainians, Menace Europe, and Help Iran Kill Americans... unveils the most treacherous deal in modern American history" Now cross-eyed Kash is off to Moscow -- shameless thugs
www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootb... Come on, NBC.. you summ the Page Six scoop.. but leave out the fact that crisis publicist Melissa Nathan is currently facing her own crisis and lawsuits.
Trying to picture what this already scary walking disaster will look like after a few months in jail with no hair, lashes, collagen, botox, makeup and salon facials.. 😨
Trump ambassador faces State Dept probe over 4 AM demands and 'toxic' reign President Donald Trump's ambassador to Greece is reportedly facing a federal investigation following complaints about her treatment of embassy staff, luxury travel and potential ethics violations.
Trump isn't so much saying that he won't repay the money he stole, as much as he's constantly testing to see how much cowardly Republicans will put up with. But worst of all, anything strategic like this is not coming from Trump but rather the vile enablers he has surrounded himself with.
NEWS: The DNC is suing Trump for illegally diverting $20 million in taxpayer funds—including money intended for line-of-duty memorials—to air pro-Trump propaganda ads ahead of the midterms.

Trump cares only about money, revenge, power and fame. He not only lacks the intellect and drive to orchestrate the global corruption and policy strategy that staffers like Voight have built .. but also the morality to care. As long as he, or his family of friends, is getting paid --all good.
Trump shouts out Russ Vought and then says, ominously, "we have some big surprises coming up in a few weeks, right Russ? He's gonna be one of the important people in the history of our country."
www.axios.com/2026/10/06/f... Trump's non-stop ranting against "fake news" and 99% negative coverage conveniently ignores the fact that Fox, Newsmax, One America and a massive mix of right-wing talk radio and podcasts dominate the media landscape
www.cnn.com/2026/10/04/e... Is this the Russian backed October surprise that Trump needs to dampen voter turnout?
Spoken like a man who doesn't drive, never buys gas (let alone pumps it himself), has never gone grocery shopping, and never cooked himself a meal. He knows nothing.
Trump: "I'm in office one day and one of the fake news people looks me in the eyes and said…affordability…They hit me with affordability, and that's the first time I ever heard the word used."

Trump calling his Super PAC “my money” will make bribery charges a snap. Both accepting and making. Like the entire crypto industry for starters. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/05/u...
Never gonna happen.. Trump will never concede.. we will face every imaginable shut down, delay, and legal tactic .. Gonna be gross
"If the upcoming midterms result in Congress seating a new majority that is willing to check the executive branch, it should do three things." @amandacarpenter.bsky.social on why Trump's ballroom matters, and what Congress should do about it:
Love the receipts.. and the good news is he is so brazen about everything and entitled.. that there are countless receipts.. ex his crypto bribes
Big news: Donald Trump has spent the past 18 months misappropriating taxpayer dollars for personal gain. I'm not just a journalist. I am also a lawyer. I map out exactly all the ways Trump misused taxpayer funds, and how a future prosecutor, or a future Congress could investigate him. Subscribe:
Gunning for his first felony .. just like daddy Maybe Ivanka goes down too
FLASHBACK: “You call conflict of interest ‘EXPERIENCE’?” Trump’s son-in-law @jaredkushner was so triggered by the new @CNN piece on his obvious conflicts in Israel that he tweeted for the first time in weeks — so here’s when @60Minutes asked him about it👇🏽🤔
Amazing that he even draws anyone to hear him reel off the same tired oldies and gripes .. And yet.. even if this election does go against him.. there is no imaginable scenario under which he will concede defeat so brace for maximum lies and ugliness Nov 4th through New Year.
A stunning new video by New York Times reporter reveals hundreds of seats empty at Trump's rally in deep-red Alabama.
I think we all agree that the quantity of legislation passed in Congress has zero correlation with actual productivity. I'm guessing their days worked would be super / record low too.. what with all the Epstein-dodging recesses. As they say, a flush beats a full house 🚽
The "Do Nothing Congress" that Harry S Truman ran against in 1948 was roughly twice as active as the Congress over which Mike Johnson presided from 2025-26. bsky.app/profile/sahi...
