Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

- It's designed to prevent future U.S. and Venezuelan leaders from changing or dismantling the enterprise. - Some of the Trump administration’s partners could remain anonymous. - It could be years before the company produces enough oil to be statistically significant source for the United States.

The joke was on the White House. CISA couldn't (and didn't) hack the machine because the specialists who had that kind of skill and knowledge were long gone due to DOGE layoffs.

Even aside from the legal issues, do we really need another “exclusive” golf course at the expense of a muni that’s affordable for kids and seniors? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/18/u...

The TL/DR: More consumer price inflation ahead. (Thanks, Trump. 🙄) The Producer Price Index tells us what to expect of the Consumer Price Index down the road.

This is about Ilhan Omar. But it's also about control, intimidation, & authoritarianism. The message is: we can do this to a member of Congress; no foreign-born American is safe. The administration is using fear as a tactic to discourage people from voicing opposition.

Not that they're women we especially liked in their roles, but to the point of the article: Trump cabinet meetings look more and more like frat-boy keggers.

Including $90 million before July and $276 million since, that's $366 million during this midterm campaign (far more than he spent on the 2024 general election). The most George Soros ever donated to Dems was $128.5 million in 2022 midterms. Tell me again which party is the decrepit whore...

"Something is changing in Texas." Lots of remarkable observations in this column.

"Surrender." That's what Trump wants Ukraine to do. He's on Team Putin, not Team United States, and he has been since long before he descended the golden escalator in 2015.

“The critical ingredient in successful antitrust cases is to demonstrate that there is unmistakably a commercial motive and that the commercial motive predominates,” Mr. Kovacic said. “And I don’t think they would ever be able to do that here.” But...the process is the punishment under this mob.

I hate it when US officials refer to warfare, includng the deaths of thousands of noncombatants, as "kinetic engagement." Euphemism is the weapon of charlatans.

Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

If only someone had warned them all what would happen... 🙄

This gets my vote for the best thing I've seen on the Internet today:

Health care went from 8% of jobs in the 1990s to nearly 16% today. That's a sign we got richer.⁣ ⁣ Once you've got a house, a car, a dishwasher, the next dollar doesn't go to a second oven. It goes to more years of life. https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/revising-my-summer-forecast-down

This is my shocked face. 🙄

Still waiting for outrage from ... anyone on Capitol Hill or leadership of both parties across the country. 25th amendment now.

Interesting tool.

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Parents who don't have their children vaccinated are at least fools, possibly gullible dupes of Trumpist MAHA bullshit, and possibly just horrible people.

… and that is blatantly illegal. Trump Directed Use of Taxpayer Money for Ads Praising His Presidency www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/u...

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.

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

when your country's new accord on “super intelligence” misspells the country's name

25th Amendment? We can’t even get network news to air it or even mention it. It’s a massive national media coverup to hide the fact the we have an addled president.

1. Eric Schmitt booked this show as a victory lap for his "gotcha" moment revealing "proof" that Jack Smith was at an Atlanta Hawks game. 2. That "proof" blew up in Schmitt's face. 3. Instead of cancelling this appearance, he dishonestly colludes with the hosts to pretend he did have that proof.

Exactly.

When you *wildly* overestimate your own charm.

Trump’s new AI website is kinda fun, it turns out.

"Trustworthy borrowers with solid finances and honest leadership pay less. Distrusted borrowers with disordered finances and corrupt leaders pay more. In times past, the United States would have headed that first list. Under President Trump, the United States has tumbled onto the second one."
