The US is now a worldwide pariah, and Trump & his minions are proud of it & hellbent on burning it all down. It’s breathtaking to witness.

Imagine my surprise when I found out that Elon Musk wants to send me to prison. I assure you I’m not going to be intimidated. My response. ⬇️ https://robertreich.substack.com/p/musk-wants-me-imprisoned

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

“Every unhappy nation is unique. But the mood overlap between countries such as Hungary and Serbia, both of which have recently thrown out rightwing populists in corruption-dominated elections, and today’s America is striking.” My column as.ft.com/r/c8ced69e-f...

Elon Musk has spent more money on politics in the last 2 years than George Soros has spent in his entire lifetime.

He keeps hinting in his speeches that there are going to be some big surprises next week and a couple people in his administration are going to be remembered in history books. It seems like no one really knows what to do with that information so it’s just passing casually

It’s our money.

We've always been at war with Eastasia

Total bullshit, of course. I've been to DC restaurants innumerable times over the last 10 years. No robberies, obviously. He's lying to his sucker fanboys correctly assuming they'll believe anything he says -- that, and he knows most have never actually been to DC.

“I just need to find 11780 votes” I know who said that Gimme my million dollars mthrfkr

El-Sayed saying the loud part out loud.

My second essay on how under Trump we’ve already gotten used to a level of fascism, authoritarianism, and corruption that would be unthinkable to us just years ago. Today: The corruption of the Justice Dept and *EIGHT* scandals on par with Watergate: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-s-ty...

Even with all the levers of power he has his hands on, and even with control of every mechanism in the federal government, Trump has been unable to find election fraud. So he's crowdsourcing it now.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Tonight Students Saved Democracy in Serbia. 🇷🇸 They won the election. The Student List movement unites youth, academics, and civic voices across Serbia. Grounded in anti-corruption reforms, democratic integrity, transparent governance, this movement brings hope to many. Vučić conceded defeat!

🚨BREAKING: Brazil's President Lula, a vocal critic of Donald Trump, was reelected Sunday in a result that provides relief to critics of Trump and keeps some distance between Latin America's biggest economy and Washington.

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

Trump is unable to name one issue voters care about in this clip. Not one.

Here’s another example of abuse. Same as the Dana Bash clip, he attacks her for not giving him time to speak, then gaslights her about what’s in his lawsuit. I bet a lot of women recognize this behavior.

It’s incredibly freaking obvious that these rotten bastards are plotting to steal the midterm elections. They can’t seem to help blurting out their intentions.

Top Ten Fun Facts about what climate change is doing to Florida’s home insurance market: Fact #1 is that it’s already the most expensive in the country, and predicted to double or triple in years ahead. 🧵

Former presidents are just roasting the hell out of the White House redo today and it’s going to drive Trump absolutely insane

Our democratic systems were not prepared for a criminal president to turn his administration into a fully functioning criminal organization. We need have a plan to address this. All Trump pardons must be rescinded. All of them.

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

Now that’s a headline

Despicable, contemptible, laughable liars. Melania Trump has achieved nothing in her life...not a single thing of note other than going along for a ride that cost her whatever she may have had of a soul. It would take an irredeemable rube to fall for this bullshit.

This is a chilling hate rally. And, just in case you think this doesn't matter to you, the President of the United States is also mocking the idea of Constitutional liberties.

The level of hatred and harassment that Trump is directing at Ilhan Omar is appalling. He's inciting some disturbed person to commit violence against her. The entire Republican Party already has blood on its hands, and it's eager for more.

“A gaping wound of earth” 🌎 😕 Google illegally knocked down 250,000 trees in Finland to build a data center. @nonewdatacenters (From the Guardian)

His brain is just a bowl of moldy oatmeal. Home prices will double if they change the name of the state? What?

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Trump says he ordered the Justice Department lawsuit over Alaska's US Senate race: 'I'm the one that said do it.'

Both Trump and Musk seem to be BS-ing to draw this out and leave Ukraine exposed for as long as possible.

Weird how the Trump administration can produce body cam footage on demand of critics, but never seem to have it when it involves ICE shooting someone

Donald Trump has sent his DOJ cronies to file a bullshit lawsuit to try to steal a Senate election in Alaska. They will fail. When we fight, we win.🗳️⚖️💪

The Trump administration sued to block the certification of Alaska’s U.S. Senate race – if the Republican candidate loses

BREAKING: The Trump Justice Department has moved to preemptively block certification of the results of Alaska's Senate race if Republican incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan loses.

FBI official charged with doing fucking job

Insanity.

Yeah but BENGHAZI

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

This is how it works repeatedly with Trump — something pretty much everyone agrees is fucked up then Trump jumps in to side with the fucked up thing, and the result is not a story that's like "Trump sides with fucked up thing" but to change the fucked up thing to instead become "controversial"

One of the most dangerous people in the world now owns a huge chunk of CBS News and CNN...not to mention all of the other Skydance media companies. Don't forget that Musk is also the largest single donor to Trump's Republican party. Oligarchs should not have this much control of our media.

I would love for dems to tell us the game plan if the Trump administration tries to steal ballots

"This is the story again and again as Trump tours the redder parts of the country: The venues are smaller, the crowds are less excited, and the man at the podium is weirder" — @paulwaldman.bsky.social
