What's going on with this plague death in #Russia? Whatever it is, don't count on Moscow to be honest about it: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

“What’s different and scarier now is that the Justice Department’s leadership is working together to validate the president’s election lies from the top down. Turning fiction into fact is now part of the job description.” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/o...

"An American polity increasingly turning against Trump has started to connect the degradations of his presidency to the Court that enabled many of them."

"De-Trumpification" has to be one of the top agenda items if Dems win power. All the lawlessness and every last one of his efforts to turn DC into an imperial capital should be undone.

Wait, that’s not a diesel fuel refinery, is it?

The Republican Party is not a political party — it’s an organized crime ring.

What the last months have revealed, is that the USA has so weakened itself that it could not protect its allies in the Pacific from China. However, now the US government is admitting that officially. The whole Trumpian pivot to confront China was a sham. apnews.com/article/airc...

Great read. Literally how Trump has operated his entire life. Apply everything detailed here to all the other aspects of our govt, military, etc… So many of these people deserve to be in prison. How the Reflecting Pool Came to Mirror Trump’s Washington www.nytimes.com/2026/08/07/u...

The answer you’ll likely get if you ask me what that thing on my desk is. #ADHD

The doctor who tried to save lives during Covid is being treated like a villain. The traitors who beat up cops at the Capitol on Jan. 6 are being treated like victims or heroes. It's American madness.

Go ahead. Look at the pictures. You deserve it.

Yes, Donald Trump is and was a Russian asset. In effect, the Republicans colluded (directly, indirectly?) with the Kremlin in an attempt to install a permanent ruling class in America that's above the law and impervious to democratic accountability. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-c...

This picture says so much.

Trump, Erdogan, Modi, all of them are like this. Don’t mind being hated by many, even welcome it if from fear, but absolutely despise mockery. Putin went after a satirical puppet show. Xi went after Winnie the Pooh. Trump went after Jimmy Kimmel (and failed). They hate hate hate being laughed at.

Todd Blanche was behind the Epstein Files cover-up, the rotten cop-beaters slush fund, and a sleazy tax fraud amnesty for the Trump family and businesses; all while causing an unprecedented "fraud on the court" investigation of the Department... 🧵

Gift article. Everyone interested in the question of AI “consciousness” should read. The author takes a logical sledgehammer to that proposition. www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...

More than half of the publicly identified donors to Trump's White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion during the past six months, according to a report released by a government watchdog group.

MAGA complains about DEI because they claim it elevates unqualified people to important positions, but these are the kind of people they elevate. It's absurd.

The Justice Department removed information about the January 6 insurrectionists from its website. @lawfaremedia.org has preserved and posted it www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

The first line in this NY Times story is: “It is a confusing moment to be a voter in the South.” No, it’s not. It’s the clearest it’s been in a long time. Republicans are stealing the political power of Black voters through outrageous gerrymandering endorsed by a right-wing Supreme Court. 2/4🧵

Ari Melber on MS NOW is referring to Trump's theft of your tax money to reward his fellow insurrectionists as his THUG FUND. That's good framing. Trump is stealing your money to create a thug fund. #ThugFund

A Tennessee man who was jailed for 37 days over a Facebook post he shared after the killing of Charlie Kirk just agreed to a $835,000 settlement with the sheriff's office that detained him. In the posts, Larry Bushart shared memes that accused Turning Point USA of perpetrating hate.

When the Rightwing Revolution Devours Its Intellectual Enablers For @zeit.de, I wrote about Chris Rufo – and the long tradition of conservative intellectuals who fancy themselves the vanguard of the Right while actually serving as facilitators of extremism. Gift link, and some thoughts in English:

“Disappointed” ”Surprised” ”Betrayed”: your Golden Retriever was sure you would throw the ball for real this time

As people wonder why Trump is so fixated on the ballroom, they should read this, which considers the import of a Bunker-Ballroom.

I’m so confused

Well said. Who could be against such a great proposal?

It should go without saying that, just because some bad people want to criminally do harm to other bad people, that does not mean that any of the bad people are not, in fact, bad people.

If nobody got to eat their dinner at the Washington Hilton tonight, what’s going to happen to all that food? (give it to the homeless)

Anyone seen Seb Gorka around lately? This is in no way related to a lone gunman in Washington DC tonight.

If Trump can’t give his speech tonight on national TV he’ll be up all night complaining on Truth Social. Oh, wait…

Gotta appreciate those that can keep their heads when others all around them are losing theirs.
