This morning I re-watched my video argument with the NY Times' Patrick Healy, and it's clear that the Times believes if it says explicity that the Trump regime is assaulting democracy, that would undermine its work to investigate how the regime is assaulting democracy. What an absurd position.
🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

⚡️️️️️️️US lawmaker introduces bill blocking Trump's Russian diesel deal. "This deal won't lower costs for the American people, who are already paying forTrump's failed war of choice in Iran. It will hand Putin millions of dollars to continue slaughtering Ukrainian civilians with impunity."

Anyway, good case study here. You can be as evil as you want, you can kill as many people as is possible, you can shove churro ladies into vans then off to black sites in countries they've never even heard of, but if you can't do the performance of fascism — that's when you're in real trouble.

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

An amazingly stark example of how the US economy has broken: Zaslav clears nearly a *billion* dollars amid a CEO tenure where he made basically anything he touched worse, harmed multiple prestigious brands, led huge layoffs—but delivered a corrupt merger for shareholders. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

Heartbreak in Springfield, Ohio. Please read this important reporting. It all begins with big lies and it ends with ethnic cleansing and deaths for which we must not only mourn but feel ashamed. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

“we are witnessing a rare, very possibly once-in-a-lifetime political liar” Credit to Daniel Dale for this deep dive into Trump’s lies, the topics he lies about most; why MAGA loves the lies & the impact of the press failure to consistently fact check Trump. www.cnn.com/2026/09/27/p...

This 80 second clip of Justice Robert Jackson’s opening statement will send shivers down your spine. Commit it to memory like the Gettysberg address. It’s even more important than Lincoln’s speech because we forgot his words the first time. We can’t promise “never again” if we don’t remember.
Nuremberg is currently very popular on Netflix. Gee, I wonder why . . .

Recently, Russia has launched a large-scale, targeted campaign of strikes against the assets of American companies in Ukraine. More than 50% of American companies operating in Ukraine have suffered damage from Russian missile and drone attacks.
Marco Rubio: "The one thing we are concerned about is that over the last few months on a number of occasions American-linked ships, American oil supplies, have been targeted -- probably not deliberately -- but targeted nonetheless by Ukraine. That needs to be addressed. We can't have that happen."

“Tax documents obtained by Zeteo Friday disprove the president’s repeated claims that he “saved” the revered arts center from financial collapse, and instead illustrate that Trump’s intimate involvement in the building’s affairs last year triggered the beginning of its rapid decline.“ #ETTD

The fact that Jeff Bezos ruined the Washington Post for nothing is just peak 2026
Trump says he's also looking at banning the Washington Post, calling it a "crummy paper" and "disgusting." Anyway, good job, Jeff Bezos! It obviously was worth losing all those scubsribers and turning your opinion section into MAGA-lite, only for the president to continue to call you "fake news."

Any agreements coming out of the Witkoff-Kushner Moscow visit will stick to the same formula as all the other US-Russia agreements on Ukraine during Trump's 2nd term: Russia gets Ukraine's land, Trump and his circle get richer; Ukraine gets to do what they're told.
To repeat: the Trump administration peace deal was always a deal for peace between Russia and the US, not Russia and Ukraine. In it, it seems, the US gets Ukraine's resources, Russia gets Ukraine's land, and Ukraine gets to say thank you.

"The news media need to say plainly, in big headlines: Trump is building a dictatorship. Use the D word. Say that this is the most corrupt presidency in American history, which it obviously is. Say that the president is mentally unstable, which he obviously is." My Stop the Presses newsletter.

Let this guy cook. The fact the number of Democrats speaking this forcefully and directly can be counted on one hand is absurd.
Ossoff: "The president, surrounded by enablers in the West Wing, is playing golf, trading stock, & decorating his ballroom. It is a disgrace. All while American families in Georgia and across the country pay more for just about everything as a direct result of his failed economic and foreign policy"

This is an indictment of the media ecosystem that glossed over Trump’s plans for mass deportations to alert us to the fact that Joe Biden was old 🙄
Enten: "Hispanic men on Trump -- in 2024 he won by 10 points. Look now where his net approval is -- minus 41 points! That is a 51 point switcheroo against the president ... these numbers are bonkers."
