Someone at some point will figure out when exactly this happened… but we have completely normalized psychosis. Trump. Stephen Miller. Speeches that were completely unhinged from reality. Delusional. Psychotically paranoid.

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Never in our history, not even during Watergate, has a single news cycle so comprehensibly established the deep corruption and politicization of the Department of Justice

Two of the top officials tied to the Epstein case—Kash Patel & Alex Acosta—admit they never reviewed survivors’ testimonies. Justice was never the point.

Wouldn’t the best way to honor Charlie Kirk’s belief in free speech be to reinstate Jimmy Kimmel?

The US attorney in Maryland, Kelly Hayes, is now telling people she's bracing for pressure to bring charges against Adam Schiff. But she also won't do so if the facts don't warrant it, NYT reports. More evidence that Trump's corruption is running into deep institutional resistance (see below).

“Charlie Chaplin was willing to mock Hitler. Colbert and Kimmel were willing to mock an American president with his own authoritarian designs. What will the rest of us be willing to do in order to stand up to fascism?” Al Franken writes. Commentary: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Vote with your dollars.

(1/2) One component of Malignant Narcissism is Sadism. People don’t fathom how deeply Trump is driven by it. In normal people, those types of impulses are offset by caring emotion. Trump has none. He is a Black Hole. He enjoys chaos and actually takes glee from others' suffering.

This is as rambling a Trump speech as I've ever heard: old Biden, crime-ridden Washington DC, the MAHA discovery of a cure for autism, interspersed with occasional anecdotes about Charlie Kirk. On Fox News, I just saw a shot of people sneaking out early from the seated areas to avoid the rush.

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

wth is going on in Chicago geez

Aides and allies present Trump's attack on free speech as an effort to stop misinformation, violence and hate speech. But Trump himself has made clear that it's not about hate speech, it's about speech that he hates, namely speech that is critical of him. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/21/u...

If our laws depend on Trump’s voluntary compliance — and Congress won’t lift a finger to defend the laws it has passed — then the president is unleashed. We are left to the whims of a man who cares about only himself, a man who is willing to discard any law or standard to satisfy his lust for power.

NEW: In a break from decades of history, the Trump administration has started detaining virtually everyone facing deportation — even if they’ve lived in the U.S. for decades. Dozens of judges, with increasing alarm, have ruled the policy shift illegal. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Apparently, the testimony of 40 minors was not enough to convince then U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta (later a Trump appointee) to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein. This is one of the biggest cover-ups of our generation. @oversightdemocrats.house.gov won't stop until the truth comes to light.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Psychologists and psychiatrists call this "concrete thinking." It reflects an inability to engage in abstract thinking, and a strong propensity to think of all nouns as depicting physical objects. It's the first way children begin to understand how to describe the world with words.

Actually, when only 97% of the stories about a person who is 100% bad are bad, it means someone is the media isn’t doing their job.

Indeed. The Lord did not command that we beat swords into ploughshares so that gaslighting grifters could farm rage.

Donald Trump and his administration used Charlie Kirk’s murder as an excuse to ramp up their ongoing campaign for total power, in their most authoritarian week yet. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Unreal: The US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia has now resigned after Trump threatened to fire him for failing to find sufficient evidence to prosecute NY AG Letitia James. Reupping this piece/thread on how appallingly corrupt this all is:

Could it possibly be?

Wherein—once again, not for the first time, and not for the last—I talk about how the heinous murder of Charlie Kirk is being exploited by authoritarians in much the same way Nazi party chief propagandist Joseph Goebbels exploited the death of brownshirt Horst Wessel in 1930.

In “A Darker Turn,” Harry welcomes an all-Contrarian panel of @gtconway.bsky.social, @normeisen.bsky.social & @jrubin.bsky.social to assess the aftershocks of Charlie Kirk’s assassination—has political violence entered the mix, and can Kash Patel’s FBI rise to meet it? bit.ly/DarkerTF
