Trump on data centers: "I say let them come in ... you should really be cool on data centers because you can make a fortune with the data centers" (Note the total silence of the crowd during this rant!)

America sucks. (I said it more eloquenty than @djrothkopf.bsky.social )

Did we really win the Cold War? Defeat fascism? Bury the Confederacy? In retrospect, thanks to Trump, MAGA and their enablers, perhaps none of those things. My latest. Hope you’ll give it a read. davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/so-as-it-t...

53 years ago today, 10/10/73, VP Spiro Agnew was forced to resign the Vice Presidency after he was caught grifting& extorting *$200,000* during his time as city manager of Baltimore, Gov. of Maryland and while Vice President. Trump and his kids & son-in-law now grift OVER $200,000 an hour easily.

In a new Truth Social post, Trump explains why he should have received the Nobel Peace Prize—writing entirely in the voice of a man being forcibly removed from a Cheesecake Factory. Really unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize laureate.

Hey Pete, how do you feel about an out of shape rich kid who used his daddy’s friends to get out of the draft posting pictures of himself desecrating the uniform of those who did serve? Any thoughts? Or are you gonna need another shot of testosterone for that?

One easy way to tell they're not actually "the most transparent administration in history" is that this is the first time in five decades that the president and vice president didn't have their taxes audited and released to the public.

TEXAS REPUBLICANS DID IT —63 DAYS BEFORE ELECTION DAY Tarrant County, they voted 3–2 to close 92 Election Day polling locations, cutting the number from 316 to 224. More than 100 people showed up to speak out before the vote. Republicans did it anyway. Closing nearly 30% of the polling places.

New from me: LAPD released video from an in-custody death that occurred in July. Jose Carlos Hoyos-Munoz appeared to be in crisis as 6 to 9 officers beat him three separate times. One officer is seen putting his knee into the back and neck of Munoz. He died 20 min later. lataco.com/lapd-beat-ha...

People are claiming that this is projection from a Christian nationalist. But it’s technically not—because a lying sociopath like JD Vance doesn’t have sympathy or compassion for ANYONE.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

JD Vance on Abdul El-Sayed: "What I see is a man who has sympathy and compassion for people who share his religion but have nothing for people who don't…That is the root of this terrible evil, I believe, in the United States of America that is on the rise."

Funny, how Americans liked to joke about how dangerous it could be to eat in Mexico. But look at the current situation in the U.S.. We may not have Montezuma’s Revenge—but, worse, we have Trump’s Revenge & RFK Jr’s Revenge.

The CDC's decision to exclude two deaths reported by Pennsylvania from updates of the national measles death tally "came from new CDC director Erica Schwartz, according to three former and current officials familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation."

Welp, there it is. The CDC is now officially manipulating data and their count of measles deaths in 2026 now stands at ZERO. My understanding of reportable diseases is that the CDC would usually use a state health department’s determination as the final say. The new CDC Director is failing us.

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

Meanwhile, back in the real world . . . Donald Trump’s genius for negotiating has led to: Mexico *not* paying for his unfinished wall. Debt defaults in six bankruptcy settlements. Botching the nuclear agreement with Iran. Failed to get North Korea to disarm nukes. Ukraine war . . .

2016: Trump promised to eliminate the national debt within eight years. Ten years later: the debt is $40 trillion. It’s like a reverse Kickstarter. Dude crowdfunded more debt.

In 2025, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association already posted about how expanding market access to Argentina was going to hurt American farmers. Now, Trump is doubling down by pausing tariffs while RFKjr tells us to switch to liver. This isn’t America First. No farms, no food

Natalie Harp is a loyal cult member. Donald Trump is a narcissistic cult leader. The Republican Party is in the grip of a personality cult. Natalie Harp gives the game away. That’s why they’re so mad.

Jon Ossoff tells Lawrence O’Donnell: “It’s been amazing to watch this White House melt down over this all week. And about Natalie Harp, these White House staffers are adults — public officials, paid by the taxpayer, with immense power in positions of public trust… No one cares about their feelings.”

James Talarico: 50 years ago, a corporate lawyer named Lewis Powell circulated a memo around DC — a blueprint for how corporations could amass political power, reverse the gains of the Great Society and the New Deal, and rig the system for themselves. And it worked.

McGowan: The president's personal defense attorney should not be the attorney general. The man who ignored the Epstein victims and then moved Ghislaine Maxwell from a maximum security prison to where she is now, should not be the attorney general. I think Cassidy is a spineless coward.

He literally sounds like a senile person. What a shame to be as insecure and corrupt as this doofus.

Trump on Democrats: "They will overturn it if they take over. All of the things, including men in women's sports, transgender for everyone, they will overturn it if they get in. We can't let that happen." 🤔

Toddler-in-chief, Felon Trump, seeing his Golden Boy Blanche tanking, threatens to keep the $1.8 billion slush fund to pay insurrectionists who attacked law enforcement and our Capitol. That slush fund is dead from the get-go per a federal judge so Trump is barking up the wrong tree as usual.

Vivek Ramaswamy tells a crowd of young Libertarians in Ohio "The truth of the matter is, people in my generation have already made it. We're gonna be fine." He is then booed off of the stage

Trump wasn’t a successful businessman in New York - it’s why no bank wanted to loan home $$ way back when he began his professional life with his dad, denying black people from renting in their buildings. Then, The Apprentice came to life and “created” his successful story. What a grift.
