I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.

I've spent nearly a decade researching and writing this book, so I'm going to be excited to show it off. I guess I could've fed my research into AI and had it quickly shit out something that sort of resembles a book. But it's not as good as the real thing and I don't get to take pride in the work.

The first subpoena from the new Democratic Congress should be to Mark Zuckerberg, for taking down the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of one of the largest days of civic activism in American history. No Kings. No Courtiers.

Folks, I know it’s easy to get excited about all the polls showing Democrats ahead and feel like this election is a done deal. But we can’t take anything for granted. That’s why I’m urging you to take part in a No Kings early voting event today where you live. https://www.nokings.org/

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

Basically the Republican campaign strategy for the midterms across the country appears to be to just say “transgender” as often as possible and hope voters hate enough to forget how much things cost and how corrupt they are.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

So not only must universities host speakers who are hostile to their mission and members, but they've got to guarantee their safety while doing so? Kirk made a career off the Professor Watchlist, leading many academics to fear for their safety. Do they get to send TPUSA a bill for their troubles?

Thousands of immigrants did the hard, dirty work of clearing rubble and toxic dust and debris from Ground Zero. Many were undocumented laborers sent to work every day with no special PPE, and got cancer as a result. Now some of those same people are living in fear of ICE. www.npr.org/2026/09/11/n...

It's fine if someone isn't personally interested in studying dolls, but anyone who proudly announces that dolls are unworthy of study is just plain stupid. And they're extra stupid if their own field revolves around a thing with more symbolic value than genuine functionality. Y'know, like Bitcoin.

I think French ignores the many aspects of traditional GOP ideology to which Trump has acceded, including the most central, such as tax cuts for the rich, which has been the major legislative accomplishment of both of his terms, climate change denial, conservative judges, deregulation, and so on.

New York Times Opinion@nytopinion.nytimes.com

“What Trump did is not really replace one G.O.P. ideology with another,” David French says on “The Opinions.” Instead, “he took the G.O.P. ideology that existed around 2015, nuked it from orbit, and then turned the glowing ruins into nothing but his impulses and desires.”

If Democrats retake the House, the Judiciary Committee needs to revive the Hatch Act in a major, major way. Remove these criminals and hacks before the 2028 cycle begins.

There could not be a more blatant violation of the Hatch Act, which prohibits any executive branch employee from "Using his or her official title while participating in political activity." Unlikely to be prosecuted, however. Will any news org even mention this? www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/5/7...

Democrats need to do this because it's what's happening. Trump officials are not only behaving outside the law, they're behaving as if they'll never be subject to the law. Dems must introduce friction to slow them down: Start announcing that blanket pardons for uncharged crimes will not be honored.

Brandon Friedman@brandonfriedman.bsky.social

Democrats should publicly commit to not recognizing pardons for crimes not yet indicted. If they don't, this will become a crime free-for-all. Trump is telling staffers laws don't apply to them.
