One widely loathed, ketamine-addicted, white-supremacist billionaire can single-handedly keep a failing political party afloat, through the brute force of money. Excellent system we've set up here.

Please know that this is one of my few legitimate areas of actual, high-level professional expertise: Kicking the healthiest people off of a health insurance program will bankrupt it. Not 'could;' not 'might,' not 'probably," but absolutely will, with mathematical certainty.

This story and the story of the Collins corruption allegations broke the same day, and in one instance the administration is alleging fraud to remove access to healthcare, and in the other they are stopping anti-corruption investigations of political allies.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

From the class I teach on political corruption analysis: “Opportunistic and systemic corruption are related but distinct… Systemic corruption functions via networks of ongoing transactional relationships. Key links are usually based primarily on financial, service, and threat transactions…”

Trump Made Over 1,000 July Stock Trades https://politicalwire.com/2026/09/22/trump-made-over-1000-july-stock-trades/?ap=b

This is not your grandparents GOP. They have set up concentration camps. They want to invade Canada and Greenland. They have invaded Venezuela. They're engaged in market manipulation and all other sorts of corruption. They tore down the East Wing of the White House.

This was Biden's ultimate failure. The inability to see that people weren't voting for Biden because they especially liked Biden. It was because they hated Trump. Now, Democrats are about to make the same mistake again. They think votes for them validate their inaction and their corporatism.

Precisely this—the power attributed to technology makes it incredibly useful for laundering responsibility

In the progressive era, muckrakers took down various powerful entities without ever having access, it can be done! Having investigated companies that won’t talk to me I can confidently say it is very possible to report on people who don’t invite you to their press conferences. This is not to say…🧵

Reuters: A federal appeals court has blocked the Trump admin's plans to immediately slash the workforce at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau by about two-thirds.

I mean, this was paid for by taxpayers -- $14.2 million to paint and waterproof this pool to make it "American flag blue" -- so I guess people are getting their money back in a way

If you’re going to rename the DoD the Department of War, and rename the SoD the Secretary of War, and then start an unnecessary war, you’ve opened yourself up to mockery when you lose that war.

When Trump went to war with Iran, I watched every speech anyone in the administration gave and made a chart of every reason given for going to war "Eliminate ballistic capability" was the #1 reason given: more even than preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon

A century ago, Black physicians built hospitals, clinics and medical schools across the South – only to see them dismantled. https://to.pbs.org/43DIBDE

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “‘Voter fraud’ is not about fraud,” our columnist Jamelle Bouie writes. “It is about who votes and how. It is about the breadth and scope of the political community.”

Breaking News: the algae has agreed to accept $300 billion to consider vacating the reflecting pool

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

Damn Colbert is a treasure. He very knowingly and intentionally played Linus and Lucy on the air, and the copyright holder joyfully got a fine out of CBS for it and then donated it to World Central kitchen. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

all of these ppl are repositioning to catch the next big grift wave. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

There is a reason Watergate was broken by Woodward & Bernstein on the metro desk AND NOT by the White House press corps. Izzy Stone was mocking White House reporters as useless back in the 1950s

BREAKING NYT: The FBI began investigating a New York Times reporter last month after she wrote about Kash Patel using bureau personnel to provide his girlfriend with government security and transportation, according to a person briefed on the matter.

I’ve been critical of the SPLC lately but this indictment feels like a stunt. It targets one of the primary enemies of their shared cinematic universe at a time when MAGA is divided over the war. Me for MSNOW: www.ms.now/opinion/sout...

According to the WSJ, Hegseth abruptly fired the Navy Secretary in the middle of a crucial wartime naval blockade because he was jelly of his closeness with Trump. These are the dumbest, most embarrassing, childish nitwits alive - and they are in charge of the world's most monumental military might.

if you post this clip, you should also post clips from the same episode of him saying the 2020 election was stolen, the civil rights movement was “disgusting,” and trump can’t be racist bc he has sex with black women. tucker didn’t have a change of heart over trump; he had a change in strategy

Fox mentions of Pres Biden's family conflicts, 16mos period: 13,000 Fox mentions Pres Trump family conflicts: "For Fox News, their word is apparently sufficient. The network’s evening programs have mentioned the Trump family’s myriad Gulf state conflicts just twice since late last year."

If Republicans end up disowning Trump over this image, it’s not because he’s portraying himself as the Messiah. It’s because he’s giving away free healthcare.

And so the musical chairs of the deplorables begins...

The Department of Health and Human Services gutted key groups that had been successful in helping Americans quit smoking. This is a "gift to Big Tobacco" a former CDC director said.

this mythical republican party vance keeps describing that cares about things like child care and health care is interesting to me as a lover of alternate history scifi

Finding common ground solutions is not the point. Cruelty is the point. Control is the point. Being an a-hole is the point.

Crazy idea, stick with me... Law, but for rich people.

The Russians throw millions of dollars on a bunch of mooks like shit on a field and they see what blooms. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Love when the video is Trump saying something like, "And then I ate a whole pie full of handkerchiefs and melancholy. So that's why Jesus helped me sink that putt, and Malaysians aren't real." But the chyron reads: "Trump to Fed: It's time to lower interest rates." www.threads.net/@aaron.rupar...

So Tim Pool, Benny Johnson and friends got more money from Russia than Hunter Biden’s firm got from Burisma lol. LMAO.

Many years ago when I was first freelancing I got an offer for $200 for 2 min worth of video footage from Ruptly. I almost took it, but the whole exchange felt really shady. But that was $200 more than American media outlets were offering, because all they offered was "credit/exposure."

Right-wing India: Suspend these scores of accounts as part of our wider crackdown on freedom of speech Musk: Okey doke no problemo Left-wing Brazil: Suspend seven accounts Musk: HOW DARE YOU INFRINGE ON THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH

I'm pretty sure that every single day this week there's been at least two Trump scandals that would have been *the* defining moment of literally any presidential campaign prior to 2016

yes. this interview wasn’t for voters, it was to see how harris responded to the narratives that they themselves created!

It's in our nature to bitch about the economy, good or bad. So it's important to acknowledge when it's good.
