My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

Unpopular opinion: When someone is factually wrong about something important—eg vaccination—telling them that they’re wrong is treating them with respect. The condescending thing to do is indulge them, act like they have a point, as if the thing you know to be wrong might be at least somewhat right.

(🚨) NEW: The Full Harp-Trump Letters Are Worse Than You Think 🔗: sethabramson.substack.com/p/the-full-h... WARNING: This lengthy report touches on some extremely upsetting—if urgent—topics. Reader discretion advised. All of this is so much weirder and worse than we could have known. Dark stuff.

sethabramson.substack.comThe Full Harp-Trump Letters Are Worse Than You ThinkWe still only have two complete letters from White House aide Natalie Harp to President Donald Trump—the man she calls her “Guardian” and “Protector, her “Alpha and Omega”—but they are horrifying.

Every time Trump has gotten himself into a jam he's gotten someone to bail him out, or found some flaw in the system to exploit. Bankruptcy, dad's money, bad faith lawsuits, reluctant prosecutors, an anti-Constitution Supreme Court majority, etc. But the Iran war doesn't have anything like that.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Good point from @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social here: Trump's usual corrupt machinations can't rescue him from failure in Iran. "Interstate war is the highest level of competition — there’s no system to manipulate, no entity that can bail him out. That leaves surrender." All that leaves is lying.

A senator is refusing to confirm the president’s personal attorney as attorney general unless the nominee rescinds a slush fund for pardoned insurrectionists in writing. That’s an INSANE SENTENCE. Oh, and I guess the tax immunity provision is totes cool.

ICE and CBP agents have now committed at least five murders that we know of, and not a single person has been held accountable for them. In fact the murderers are being shielded. This is simple, obvious proof that the violence and murder is intentional.

They know they did it and they are responsible. Which is why they will continue to stonewall this. Good for the reporter to keep asking about it and not let this go, because they are counting on people just moving on.

OSSOFF: I expect tonight's speech to be equal parts pathetic and dangerous. I think we will hear from the world's most famous sore loser, a prime time presidential sour grapes address reheating, debunked conspiracy theories about an election in which he was soundly defeated.

ICE is killing people on the streets of America. Cold. Read every one of these. Ask yourself: Is this the country we want to be? Then ask yourself this: why aren’t they wearing body cams?

I've never seen Seattle more alive than the window when the world cup was here. Beyond the specific changes, I would love to see our city mobilize more communal events like the watch parties that would bring people into spaces together around shared purpose.

Michael Smith@mesmith35673.bsky.social

Seattle was electric during the World Cup. To support 750,000 visitors, the city pedestrianized streets, activated public spaces, and removed parking. Rather than revert these changes, city leaders should identify what worked and make those changes permanent. seattletransitblog.com/2026/07/09/s...

The real headline from the birthright‑citizenship case isn’t the outcome. It’s that four Supreme Court justices signaled they believe a president can effectively rewrite the Constitution through executive order.

Ossoff: I don’t think many people are tuning in because he’s lost it. But more importantly, what we’re seeing is how destabilized he is by his global humiliation in the Middle East, which he cannot deny or lie away. He has cemented his place in history in disgrace.

The criticism of Trump, Kennedy, and Bhattacharya that was so subversive that the ADA had to eject the Editor-in-Chief of their flagship journal from their annual meeting for sharing it? Prior today it had fewer than 1000 views. Do your thing.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Donald spent Saturday complaining on the Internet. 6 hours, 52 posts… and when not posting he’s trying to rob us. He sued the 🇺🇸 government he commands for $10 BILLION, then settled with himself for $1.776 Billion to cut checks to cronies and 1/6 foot soldiers.”

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

The important thing to understand about Trump’s pathological narcissism is that he is truly fractured from objective reality. He does not live in the world we live in. He lives in a make-believe world he invents in his own mind and then tries to colonize everyone else into believing is real. 1/
