Nuking these data centers isn’t terrorism.

Judd Legum@juddlegum.bsky.social

1. Data centers are one of the biggest issue in the 2026 mid-terms and, publicly, Trump has staked out the unpopular position of supporting them. Meanwhile, Trump’s super PAC is ATTACKING DEMOCRATS FOR SUPPORTING DATA CENTERS.

Term limits is the more permanent solution. It'll get rid of Thomas and Alito first, and then neither side can pack the court for decades.

Fox analysis: Republicans prepped to turn on Trump as wipeout fears grow

dlvr.itFox analysis: Republicans prepped to turn on Trump as wipeout fears growRepublicans are gearing up to make President Donald Trump the fall guy as they brace for a wipeout in the upcoming midterm elections in November, according to a Fox News analysis. Political analyst Mark Halperin wrote that GOP operatives have begun debating who would be responsible for what could be a disastrous election, with Halperin describing it as “the simplest argument is also the hardest to refute.” "One man controls the party, and his name is Trump," he wrote in his Fox News opinion column. He argued that the GOP losing at the polls will be an indictment of the president with his underwater approval ratings, economic policies, foreign-policy decisions, and inability to stay focused on the issues most important to voters. Advisers could leave Trump hanging in the cold by insisting they had little power to change his behavior. Halperin described the dilemma facing Republicans as voters struggle with a higher cost of living while Trump focuses on White House renovations, foreign wars, all while his family business is raking in billions. "A voter worried about groceries sees a president worried about building names," he wrote. The analyst also pointed to Trump cheerleading for AI data centers, which he argued is alienating voters who are facing rising electricity bills. The ongoing conflict with Iran has also complicated the GOP's economic message, as most voters just want to pay their bills and are not invested in the war efforts. Halperin predicted that Republican congressional leaders would not escape blame. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune could be accused of failing to deliver achievements voters can identify with and of having no legislative accomplishments to sell. Party consultants are also likely to point fingers over messaging without having much to go with other than well-funded, played out attacks, Halperin argued. Candidates face a Trump gamble with staying too close or distancing themselves possible leading to their downfall. A September Fox News poll put Trump's approval at 39%, while 61% disapproved. In the same survey, Democrats held a seven-point lead over Republicans on the generic congressional ballot. All signs point to Republicans preparing for an increasingly difficult election despite their well-funded campaigns. According to a report by the Washington Post on Thursday, groups that support the GOP are shifting their resources from races that had previously been seen as winnable to those aimed at protecting seats that are currently held by Republicans. Part of this shift involves attempting to strengthen the positions in states that Trump won comfortably in 2024. At the same time, Axios stated on Wednesday that House Republicans are currently looking at the possibility of making leadership changes should they lose their majority. Johnson has indicated he may want to stay as head of the conference, which could spark a contest between Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan. A Republican told Axios that members of Congress were competing for the minority leader position before Election Day. Halperin warned that the Democrats might also rebel against their own leaders if their performance does not meet expectations. However, he stated that Trump's control of the Republican Party made him the most obvious person to be targeted if a feared Republican defeat occurs.

Geraldo tears apart Trump’s media ban —and points out one 'appalled' irony

dlvr.itGeraldo tears apart Trump’s media ban —and points out one 'appalled' ironyIn the past, television journalist and former Fox News pundit Geraldo Rivera was on very friendly terms with President Donald Trump. But Rivera, now 83, lashed out at Trump when he refused to accept the results of the United States' 2020 presidential election. And now, Rivera is highly critical of Trump's ban of three major media organizations — CNN, MS NOW and Politico — from the White House press pool. The ban came days before Trump's White House meeting with visiting Chinese President Xi Jinping. During an appearance on MS NOW, Michael McFaul — who served as U.S. ambassador to Russia under former President Barack Obama — was appalled that reporters for CNN, MS NOW and Politico were kept out of the White House while members of state-owned Chinese media were granted access. In a Friday, September 25 post on X, formerly Twitter, Rivera wrote, "President Trump's ban on WH media was as badly timed as it was Unconstitutional. He wanted maximum exposure of his grand summit with the Chinese leader. He ended up playing in the dark to an audience of nobody." Rivera has been working in media since the 1960s. The native New Yorker became a reporter for New York City's WABC-TV in 1970, and he later became known for his work on national ABC News programs like "20/20" and "Nightline." His daytime talk show, "Geraldo," debuted in 1987 and lasted 11 years. In a 2024 interview with journalist Molly Jong-Fast for Interview Magazine, Rivera explained why he turned against Trump and endorsed Democratic nominee Kamala Harris for president. Rivera recalled, "Our relationship dated back to the 1970s, when he was coming up in the real estate business. I met him when he was trying to rehabilitate the old Commodore Hotel on 42nd Street, which was a haven for junkies and hookers and crime and the rest of it. And he succeeded. I chronicled that in many ways. We went to the fights together, hung out at Trump Tower. Fox was just a few blocks away. I did not vote for him in 2016, but I supported him. And he was very generous, very gracious, inviting me to the White House, giving me access interviews. I did several hour-long interviews with him during his presidency. During the tumultuous four years, I defended him against what I thought was an unfair onslaught on the Russia business." But when Trump refused to accept the 2020 election results, Rivera lamented, he crossed a dangerous line. Rivera told Jong-Fast, "Every day, he got worse and worse, more and more radicalized. The people around him, increasingly a motley crew: Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Gen. Mike Flynn — just fringy kind of people. And he dug in. He went to Georgia, if you recall, beat the Republican Party's chances for the Senate there with his irrational behavior and his narcissism. Then, of course, you get to January 6, when it seemed to me that he incited and then unleashed the attack on the United States Capitol, the soul of our democracy, in his flamboyantly irrational and illegal assault on democracy itself."

White House insiders 'irked and trying to box out' Trump’s favorite aide

dlvr.itWhite House insiders 'irked and trying to box out' Trump’s favorite aideWhile many members of the White House team flocked to defend President Donald Trump's aide Natalie Harp, behind the scenes, there are aides talking about how annoyed they are with her. Harp was part of a recent book by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan about Trump's staff. According to the book, Harp is always with the president and carries around a battery-operated printer so he can read things on paper. Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff (Georgia) mocked Trump for always needing her around and having a number of "emotional security staffers." Trump allies immediately launched a flood of attacks Ossoff for claiming they were having an affair, though that wasn't what he said. While some rushed to defend Harp, others were quietly leaking their problems with her, CNN said on Wednesday. Senior White House reporter Betsy Klein explained that the ordeal "really speaks to how President Trump has really disrupted traditional Republican Party power structures and hierarchies, and that has created a vacuum of talent. And in that vacuum, you have seen people coming from nontraditional political backgrounds. And the one overwhelming thing that many of them have in common is loyalty to President Trump and to his movement." She explained that Harp's "origin story" is the perfect representation of that when she credited Trump for saving her life with his "right to try" policy that allows access to experimental treatments. "Now, she has since become one of President Trump's most trusted and loyal advisers," said Klein. "She is a constant and intensely dedicated presence, according to sources that we've spoke to, and at times, some of those sources say that has irked members of the president's inner circle, who have tried to take steps to box her out at times. But for President Trump, she is intensely dedicated, loyal. He appreciates her commitment." The Haberman/Swan book relayed a story in which Trump said that all of the other staffers would "leave" him, but Harp won't. In the end, he claimed it would be his family and Harp. The reporters also revealed that the Secret Service and chief of staff Susie Wiles were "alarmed" by harp. Speaking to CNN on Tuesday, Harp's brother told Erin Burnett that Trump's best friends are those who are "in his fan club." Harp, he said, is "his biggest fan. And so that's probably why he likes her and, like, she's good looking." The brother also said that Harp had written letters to other presidents. "So, her dream came true, finally," he added. Harp's brother previously spoke to the Daily Mail about his sister, saying that it's an "unhealthy relationship." CNN obtained a photo of Harp after a huge fight between staff. Harp had claimed that Trump wanted her by his side at his New York Trial. She was rebuffed, so she climbed into the trunk of the SUV.

Trump stages the perfect 'bread and circuses' event for a dying republic

dlvr.itTrump stages the perfect 'bread and circuses' event for a dying republicPresident Donald Trump is acting like a Roman emperor, not an American president, by hosting UFC fighters to wrestle in front of the White House on his 80th birthday. “The weekend’s UFC fight in honor of the Emperor Donald’s birthday is about more than his obsessive love for big, powerful men, men with tears in their eyes saying, ‘Mr. President, sir, would you like to touch my rock-solid abs?’” wrote Rick Wilson, who co-founded the anti-Trump Republican group The Lincoln Project. “It’s about the fall of Rome, and that of America.” Wilson added, “The decline of Rome didn’t begin when the Goths crossed the frontier or rival nations nibbled the edges of the Empire. It began when the Republic died, and Emperors with boundless self-regard and poor impulse control adopted theatrical personas and were told they were gods, not men.” In this sense, Wilson characterized Trump’s actions as president as involving spectacle and corruption. “When governing a far-flung empire became difficult, performance became easier,” Wilson said. “When problems became unsolvable, distractions became the irresistible tool to settle the restive plebs. If everyone was corrupt, from the Emperor on down, money set the terms of power. And when citizens grew anxious about the future, emperors offered them the now-cliched narcotic known throughout in political history: bread and circuses.” Describing Trump’s UFC match as a version of the ancient gladiatorial spectacles, “this week, America gets its own glimpse of the Colosseum, with less blood but with the requisite mad emperor, his gravid belly straining this corset, slathered in makeup, struggling with his arousal at the edge of the arena, leering at oily, well-hewn men engaged in a pantomime he conflates with manhood and virility.” Overall Trump argued that the UFC match is “a spectacle better suited to ancient Rome than a modern constitutional republic.” On the other side ideologically, an ex-official for President Bill Clinton also denounced the UFC matches, claiming that they expose Trump and his officials as fixated on a primitive idea about masculinity. “Trump sees everything and everyone in terms of dominance or submission, and he’s hellbent on dominance,” former Labor Secretary Robert Reich wrote on Sunday. “‘You’ll never take back our country with weakness, you have to show strength and you have to be strong,’ he told his supporters on January 6, 2021, before urging them to go the Capitol.” He added, “He views America as locked in a zero-sum match with the rest of the world, and there’s no limit to our violence. Unless Iran opened the Strait of Hormuz, he memorably said, ‘a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.’” Reich went on to denounce the entire “manosphere” that has helped catapult Trump to power. “His secretary of ‘war,’ Pete Hegseth, threatens ‘no quarter, no mercy for our enemies’ and ‘maximum violence to the enemy,’” Reich wrote. “When told some fishermen survived the American bombing of their boat, Hegseth reportedly ordered his commander to ‘kill them all.’” Reich also described Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. working out shirtless and lifting weights next to actor Arnold Schwarzenegger and musician Kid Rock, as well as insisting Trump has “the highest testosterone level” he ever witnessed in an individual over 70 years old. “Trump’s whole circle — including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and JD Vance — glorify male prowess and power,” Reich added. “(In a Twitter exchange a few years ago, Musk said he was ‘up for a cage fight’ with Zuckerberg, who replied: ‘Send me location,’ eliciting from Musk: ‘Vegas Octagon,’ and the suggestion that podcaster Joe Rogan referee.) Musk and Vance champion pronatalism — the belief that the single greatest threat to Western civilization is collapsing birth rates — and argue that Western women must have more children.”

GOP primary chaos erupts as 'unelectable extremist' fires top aide

dlvr.itGOP primary chaos erupts as 'unelectable extremist' fires top aideThe Georgia Republican Senate primary was already rife with party infighting, and now tempers are running even higher after election frontrunner Representative Mike Collins (R-GA) was forced to fire a top aide over offensive online behavior. MAGA-backed Collins is currently in a primary runoff against former college football coach Derek Dooley, who has the support of Governor Brian Kemp, who himself has been at odds with President Donald Trump over the past 18 months. To that end, the primary represents yet what many have suggested is an ongoing battle for the GOP, pitting Trump loyalists against more traditional Republicans. But it is also the party’s bid to oppose incumbent Senator John Ossoff (D-GA) in a key state. Georgia has long been safely red until turning purple in recent years, and now conservatives are struggling to bring it more firmly into their camp. Technically, Collins was well ahead of Dooley, winning the first round of the primary by 11 points. But as Punchbowl News reports, “Negative headlines of the past few days opened the door for Dooley to argue that Collins is an unelectable extremist who can’t flip this critical Senate seat.” The latest controversy came on Friday, when Dooley-affiliated GOP strategist Luke Thompson tweeted a poll on X showing that Collins' 11-point lead over Dooley had narrowed from 46 percent to 41 percent in the runoff, saying, “48 hours later and the Collins lead has cut in half. Dooley beats Ossoff. Collins can’t. Not hard to understand.” This is in line with what many strategists have suggested: that MAGA-backed candidates may win primaries within the GOP, but are not poised to do the same in general elections amid Trump’s plummeting approval rating. The Collins campaign, however, replied to Thompson’s tweet with the offensive declaration, “Matt Laurer’s sloppy seconds chiming in to take an L.” As Punchbowl News explains, “Thompson is married to Brooke Nevils, a former NBC News staffer who accused disgraced former anchor Matt Lauer of sexual assault. Lauer has denied the allegations.” Collins then fired his longtime staffer and former chief of staff, Brandon Phillips, saying, “Earlier today, a campaign advisor sent out a despicable and unauthorized twitter comment using a Team Collins campaign account. I want to apologize for this offensive tweet. I have made staffing changes to ensure this type of behavior never happens again.” According to Nevils, Collins also apologized to her personally, but she still questions the ethics underlying the campaign, saying, “I think the bigger question is, why was there a culture that permitted that kind of behavior? This is why people don’t come forward.” “This kind of disgusting behavior does not represent Georgia values — or frankly any values — and is exactly why Mike Collins cannot be our nominee this November,” Dooley declared. “A vote for Collins is a vote for Ossoff.” “The controversy is adding to GOP skepticism about Collins’ ability to beat Ossoff in the general election,” Punchbowl News explains. “Collins is a firmly right-wing member with an unapologetic MAGA brand. While Trump won Georgia in 2024, some Republicans fear that nominating Collins is a recipe for losing the state in a midterm that could favor Democrats.” As Senate Leadership Fund Executive Director Alex Latcham responded to the criticized (and now deleted) post, “Disgusting. If he’s our guy, @MikeCollinsGA has ($) 44 million reasons to get rid of this amateur.”
