On the career off ramp to spend more time with my books. Or go outside. I’ll figure it out.

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War. Meanwhile, Trump himself owns up to $81 million in oil and gas stocks — which have increased in value by 43% since the end of 2025. When Trump says "we're making a freaking fortune," understand who he is really talking about.

Americans have now spent $142 billion more on gasoline and diesel since March 1, enough to buy 361,000 homes at the September median price, enough to house over 900,000 people, due to the US war on Iran and other factors like limited output from Russia

🚨Illinois Governor JB Pritzker calls for Trump to be REMOVED via the 25th Amendment: "There is something genuinely wrong with this man..." The calls to remove Trump are growing LOUDER.

"Why can't we take people from Norway and Sweden and Denmark?" Yeah. I'm sure people from Europe will just rush to come here. Our slogan: "America: Come for the racism. Stay for the mass shootings and lack of healthcare!

Trump: "Why do we always have to take people from shit house countries? We can't we take people from Norway and Sweden and Denmark? By the way, Denmark gave us Greenland ... what do you take, Venezuela or Greenland? We got them both!"

Americans have a choice. You can vote for Nazism—which is 100% what this is—or you can vote for America. Anyone votes for Nazism should never be forgiven by anyone they love or even anyone they know casually. Voting for Nazism is an unforgivable sin for good reason. It is treachery against America.

We are making the oil oligarchs rich. We are making Trump and his cronies rich. It is literally at our expense every day. There’s no trickling down happening. And Trump is bragging about it knowing nobody in the Republican Party will stand up to him and say enough.

Obama: "We've seen this movie before. I starred in it. I've got a long-form birth certification to prove it. This stuff didn't work on me. It's not going to work in Michigan on Abdul."

Q: There's a report that FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Any reaction? OSSOFF: So the Trump administration is telling folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Jr & Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan?

Steve Witkoff gives Putin the Trump treatment here.

Steve Witkoff to Putin: You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that, I commend you, and I thank you again.

I mean... ! For the billionth time (deep breath): if JOE BIDEN did this, it'd be the lead story across all mainstream media. Instead, it's just funny old Trump. "Yeah, he's nuts, but nothing new here." DO YOUR F*CKING JOB, MEDIA. Report honestly on our clearly addled president. #TrumpDementia

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

nytimes.comA Billionaire Wanted a Trump Pardon. His Family Gave Alina Habba a $50 Million Deal. (Gift Article)Julio Herrera Velutini, a prominent Venezuelan, was seeking clemency. He got it not long after his daughter gave Ms. Habba, a lawyer close to President Trump, an extraordinarily lucrative job.

I have so few accomplishments these days….I’m trumpeting this one!

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

Nathan Fielder is on the cover of @wired.com this month. I interviewed him about Elizabeth Holmes, his extraordinary new film, and whether anyone can ever know what the hell is going on with another person. An exclusive! And quite an experience. Read the full interview here:

You can tell Russia is stoking the unrest in France because Donald Trump repeats the clips it creates and it feeds the Far Right in Europe. When social media was created Putin saw it for the weapon it truly was first, so did Kusher & Co. that is why POTUS is a Kremlin asset.

Two decades ago the Chicks got in trouble for saying at a concert that they were ashamed George W. Bush was from Texas, and now they've got a contender for Texas's Senate seat saying at a concert how proud he is they're from Texas.

Linking costs to corruption has been a smart move and I'm glad to see more Democrats doing this.

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

#AT40 Good to be back with you all for some 1971 and vintage JT. I’ve been out leaf peeping and exploring beautiful Colorado. Here’s Black Canyon NP last Saturday.
