My second essay on how under Trump we’ve already gotten used to a level of fascism, authoritarianism, and corruption that would be unthinkable to us just years ago. Today: The corruption of the Justice Dept and *EIGHT* scandals on par with Watergate: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-s-ty...

If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

Can someone ask CBS News why Ted Koppel said that "Bannon's technically correct; they didn't have standing" in the 60+ cases Trump and his allies lost in 2020. This is verifiably false and is a GOP talking point. Many/most of the cases Trump lost were on the merits. Do they not fact check at CBS?

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

Genuinely the worst campaign message I’ve ever seen

It's pretty damn impressive how much ground Mayor Mamdani has been able to cover after only nine months in office on a wide range of basic quality-of-life issues in NYC. I was reading through the numbers this morning, and they're kinda astonishing. (thread)

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Your dad would be proud as hell of you, my man.

DHS Claimed It Had Found 16,000 Illegal Voters In Nevada. Now It’s Admitting It’s Less Than 200. As we move closer to mid-term elections, the Trump administration... https://www.techdirt.com/2026/09/11/dhs-claimed-it-had-found-16000-illegal-voters-in-nevada-now-its-admitting-its-less-than-200/

Seems relevant: Canada is creating jobs at a rate that is roughly 4x that in the United States.

Iran War Enters 6th Justification

It is seriously alarming how many of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people are just screamingly mentally unwell in deeply toxic, dangerous ways.

My latest over at Public Notice, thanks to @atrupar.com for letting me guest write again. Democratic leadership needs to read the room, and give their constituents what they want, otherwise their constituents will find someone who does. www.publicnotice.co/p/democratic...

Happy to share our first campaign ad!! Www.Harrydunnformd.com

Missed our Nevada attorney general Democratic primary debate yesterday? Check out the full video of the faceoff between Nicole Cannizzaro and Zach Conine: youtu.be/68Jp0NqXWyg Written recap: thenevadaindependent.com/article/deba...

RALSTON: The Supreme Court has said the tariffs are unconstitutional. Do you think the Trump administration should refund money to Nevadans? GOV. LOMBARDO: No, I don't think so

Fulton Co elections expert: “In all 5 areas identified by ... the [search warrant] affidavit, there are a multitude of false or misleading statements or omissions. ... Once ... corrected, the affidavit loses any basis in reality.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Elon's racist little post made me mad enough to write about it at CAMPAIGN TRAILS.

It really is amazing how much of political punditry, *especially* elite outfits in NYC and Washington, still embrace this bizarre idea that rural spaces represent the "Real America" while metropolitan areas, where most (presumably real) Americans actually live, should be held in contempt.

Trump claimed the power to unleash a tariff war by declaring a “national emergency.” This is clearly a false predicate. The tariff power lies with Congress per the Constitution. Trump’s invocation of an “emergency” in order to punish countries whose leaders don’t grovel is utterly ridiculous.

"Eliminate presidential immunity" needs to become as common a refrain as "eliminate Citizens United"

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market. Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply. A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."

It was @asharangappa.bsky.social who first put this idea in my head, but really starting to feel like they're gonna try to get Maduro to cop to some insane 2020 election conspiracy in exchange for leniency www.reuters.com/world/americ...

“Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, she pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).”

Why won't liberal young women date across party lines?

“If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.” Justice Brett Kavanaugh www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Again, when Bari Weiss said she wanted to do "the fucking news" she apparently meant something different than what we initially assumed

So my connect the dots here is that there will be some allegation that there was foreign interference in the voting — Hugo Chavez, Italian satellites, etc. — (hence why DNI is involved), making it a nat sec issue that they will use to justify doing something crazy/illegal in Nov

Jeffries: Federal taxpayer dollars should actually be used to make life better for the American people, not kill them. Our position is clear: Kristi Noem needs to be fired immediately, or House Democrats will begin the initiation of impeachment proceedings against her.

New on MS NOW: Leader Jeffries says Democrats will begin impeachment proceedings against Kristi Noem if she is "not fired immediately."

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Walz: "We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody is gonna write that children's story about Minnesota."

Introducing the highest U.S. tariffs since the Great Depression, President Trump made a clear promise in the spring: “Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country.” They haven’t.

I don’t see how this country survives until 2029 unless Trump is impeached and removed. This level of lawless malice is not sustainable. What fresh horrors await us this week?

Here's my deep dive on the 5-year mark of Jan 6 -- The ongoing impact on victims, the lies ... and the continued malignant corrosion of democracy As aired on..... ...The BBC

Walz is out of Fs: "Not a single Republican supported this, so every Minnesotan from here on, whoever uses this program, there is no bit of thanks that would go to the R legislators who did all they could to stop this ... our schools have money to pay their teachers? I'll take credit for that too."

THIS is among the most important list of documents the public needs to see. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.

Earlier this week, Kristi Noem told me under oath that she has not deported veterans. I then introduced her to one that she did deport. But it’s much worse than that: @moulton.house.gov got DHS to admit that they’ve deported at least 8 vets and are planning to deport dozens more.

Mockler: As much as the Trump admin tries to act like it's different from prior Republican administrations, they're doing the same thing. They cut taxes for the richest, they cut benefits for the poorest, and then they go to war for either regime change or for oil.

Why did the Pentagon only release video on the first strike?

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.
