Digby: All of this was caused by Donald Trump and nothing else. This isn’t a global problem or an act of God. Trump did this. Mass deportation, tariffs, and the Iran war. It’s all on him, every bit of it. digbysblog.net/2026/10/23/w...

Big news day in #nc11: 1) The Trump Super Pac with the unfortunate (and now ironic) name No Going Back Pac, is pulling out of #nc11 (from Punchbowl via CJ Warnke) 2) Sabato's Crystal Ball has moved #nc11 to Lean Democrat

Texas was built by hope. By people who had no business believing — but believed anyway. To every Texan who’s ever wondered if anyone in power is paying attention: We are taking our state back. Because a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing.

Donald John Trump, comic-book villain, imagines he has imperial power for renaming anything. Maybe keep him out of trouble over the next two years doing just that. digbysblog.net/2026/10/20/p...

Trump now wants to cover the Eisenhower Executive Office Building's gray granite with white paint, lowering the value of its French Second Empire architecture. A few short-term memory loss weeks ago, Trump was bragging about his love of granite. digbysblog.net/2026/10/19/h...

The Tommys out there will not take it well when Democrats retake the House. They’ll take it even harder if they retake the Senate with el-Sayed as a member. And hardest if Republicans force Trump from office to clear the decks for their 2028 nominee. digbysblog.net/2026/10/18/a...

Rural conservatives often complain that some snooty, urban elites look down on them. But their MAGA king from Queens thinks his supporters are easily duped suckers and losers. digbysblog.net/2026/10/07/a...

Yes, these people are cranks. But then these cranks cranked up a fake electors scheme in 2020 and an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. Steel yourselves for the post-election. digbysblog.net/2026/10/07/i...

The Trump administration has begun sending $500 checks to nearly a million Americans in 30 states just in time to arrive ahead of the fall elections. digbysblog.net/2026/10/07/b...

Democrats explored over 150 ways Republicans might sabotage elections this fall. What's missing are efforts to "prebunk" the 2026 edition of the Big Lie before GOP narratives harden. digbysblog.net/2026/10/04/d...

Once the Trump era is over, “The Emperor’s New Clothes” will be as archaic as knock-knock jokes. One hurdle to seeing that glorious day is the reluctance of the media to state plainly that Donald John Trump, 47th president of these United States, has lost his mind. digbysblog.net/2026/09/28/s...

The victors once made slaves of their enemies, raped their women, and burned their villages to the ground. Give Trump and Pete Hegseth time. They'll get there.

“We are fed up with ICE & DHS telling us lies… NO MORE TRAFFIC STOPS BY ICE.” Wilber’s lawyer says he was sideswiped and shot by ICE without any clue who they even were — and ICE then immediately lied about what happened (again)

Big update: Europe prepares contingencies for conflict with Russia. Germany prepares hospitals. Lithuania updates evacuation plans. Switzerland issues warning. Trump cracks down and begins revoking press passes while thousands of Americans rise up at Kennedy Center.

Be forewarned. November 3rd — to borrow from Churchill — “is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” digbysblog.net/2026/09/18/t...

Trump demolished the East Wing, wrecked the Reflecting Pool, and made The Arts of War statues look as if they belong outside a P. F. Chang’s. Congress has advertised that America at 250 cannot discipline an 80-year-old man-child, much less lead the world anymore. digbysblog.net/2026/09/18/t...

Has Trump proposed painting over sculptures and portraits in the National Gallery of Art yet? When he does, will Congress just sit on its hands? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump’s latest tantrum. (But that was yesterday.) digbysblog.net/2026/09/16/m...

Trump "is not only giving away the Rio Grande River, but he’s also ceding sovereign, American-owned land, owned by Americans, basically giving it to Mexico,” says Terrell Co. Sheriff Thaddeus Cleveland, longtime conservative Republican and former Border Patrol agent. digbysblog.net/2026/09/14/d...

Trump insists Zelenskyy "halt strikes on Russian oil refineries and other infrastructure used to produce and distribute diesel, saying the attacks are causing a global shortage.” He needs Americans to blame Ukraine for high fuel costs & not the war he started w/Iran. digbysblog.net/2026/09/14/c...

Fuel supplies were supposed to hit "tank bottom" in early July. But here we are in mid-September, and tank bottom has been rebranded The Great Fuel Crisis. The Trump administration's Sgt. Schultz imitators see nothing, hear nothing, and know nothing. digbysblog.net/2026/09/15/o...

Just what did Trump voters think they were getting when they hired a Mark Burnett-created reality TV star to be president? Ah, they want government run more like a business instead of a not-for-profit public service? Be very, very careful what you wish for. digbysblog.net/2026/09/15/c...

Step right up, folks. Don’t be shy. Donald Trump has got a deal for you! Trump promised his midterm Republican convention in Dallas on Wed night, and you, yes, you, will be the proud recipient of $5,000. Bullshit meters from coast to coast pegged their needles. digbysblog.net/2026/09/10/w...

The Trump admin is restoring a monument to Confederate treason at Arlington National Cemetery as a matter of speech. In other news, his FCC is threatening Jimmy Kimmel, ABC & affiliates if they air his interview with Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico. digbysblog.net/2026/09/10/g...

The Impeachment Clause in the Constitution now appears inoperative, like several other "dead letters." If Thomas Jefferson took his razor to the Constitution today, it might look like his miracle-free version of the New Testament. digbysblog.net/2026/09/08/t...
