Facts spoken by an ex-trumper...

Here is something Trump is undoubtedly the best at - crimes committed by a President. We have war crimes, sexual crimes, financial crimes, fraud, obstruction of justice and theft of classified material. Impressive! www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...

This is from Trump’s emergency brief filed Friday to restart ballroom construction. Has a list of donors or donated amounts ever been revealed? With how much trump lies do we know if this is true and it is logical to assume any funding shortfall will be made up by taxpayers.

Thanks for this, @samsteindc.bsky.social. It's really hard to keep track.

Surprise! You can’t start a war without even consulting US allies—and then insult them afterward—and then expect them to bail you out when you predictably get into trouble. Seriously, what country is going to risk their ships in the Strait of Hormuz when the U.S. Navy considers it too dangerous?

I guess when they started calling it the Department of War instead of Defense they did it for a reason.

Nothing about moving forward. No plans for the future. Just cherry picking political points. Such a waste of time. Such a loser.

What the F is this speech about? All his greatest hits? What is he going to do for America going forward?

Way to go Seahawks! Super Bowl bound!

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "It looks very untrained. It looks unprofessional. It looks very chaotic…People should be able to have an expectation that the federal government can enforce federal immigration law without these poor tactics & really unconstitutional practices."

It’s not just that they are murdering people who are peacefully protesting, it’s that they then stand in front of the cameras and slander the victims by telling us that what we see on the videos didn’t happen.

I'm sorry, but if you can't understand that Russia is *of course* going to encourage Trump's madness, and think this is part of a grand design instead of Moscow can't believing how lucky it is, maybe touch grass for a while

“The notion that [Trump] claims this is somehow making the country safer is absurd. It’s making the country more dangerous. The domestic terrorists are ICE. It’s hard to believe we have a criminal president running a lawless government trying to intimidate the people of this country through force.”

This would be a war crime even if there were an actual war and these people were actual combatants, which there isn't and they weren't. It's unquestionably an unlawful homicide under any form of law you wish to apply: military or civilian, domestic or international, federal or state. ...

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?

Only Trump would order an investigation into someone who told people NOT to break the law.

It is particularly galling that Trump is calling for the execution of people who actually served honorably in the military, while he took a bone spur exemption and famously boasted that his Vietnam was dodging syphilis in 70s New York. Just a historically loathsome figure by any measure.

As always, the simplest answer is usually the correct answer. And if Trump commutes her sentence, it’s because it’s most likely that Trump is a pedophile.

“Donald Trump has destroyed the White House to demonstrate to the whole world that he can do what he wants, whenever he wants, to whatever, or whomever he wants.” steveschmidt.substack.com/p/trumps-ans...

Giving kudos to the White House BlueSky account. Putting retweets to each of the cabinet links made it super easy to block each one. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The Trump administration’s deployment of ICE and others in the mass deportation effort has led to more violence and turmoil, and less safety and security for all, including US citizens. But that’s a feature not a bug. The chaos justifies further authoritarian crackdowns. The chaos is the point.

Hundreds of generals and admirals had to fly in from all over the world so Pete Kegseth can live out his Patton fantasies.

I see a lot of Democrats laughing off the Antifa 'domestic terrorists' designation. You're forgetting MAGA blames "Antifa" for everything including January 6th. Perhaps next 'No Kings Day' they decide it was organized by 'Antifa.' They don't need proof to ruin your life.

Good. I have zero empathy anymore. They voted for this. They’re getting what they wanted in MAGA paradise.

Trump now claims the power to accuse, judge guilty, and summarily execute alleged criminals. And has done it. There must be consequences for this blatant illegality.

Nothing will nail down a Nobel like rebranding to the “Department of War.” Also sorta overrides the key military mission of deterrence, which is a piece of our national & defense security strategy.

because nothing says 'I deserve the Nobel Peace Prize' more than renaming your Department of Defense to the Department of War

See that right there is his problem.

Trump has already come for migrants, law firms, universities, government employees, political opponents, critics in government, and the media. What makes you think he won’t come for you next? open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

If DC was so dangerous, why not deploy the National Guard on January 6th?

This.

"Trump is making war against the federal government. That’s what an authoritarian attempt is. He has discovered if he threatens to destroy an institution, responsible people will surrender the institution to him in the hopes of saving it. That’s the surrender trap." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

emails are for amateurs. I demand a 37th investigation into Hillary's handling of Benghazi

David French: “It’s hard to describe how thoroughly Trump is disrupting and corrupting our system of justice. . . . Donald Trump is determined to transform America’s system of justice into his personal political weapon.” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/20/o...

When Trump does something stupid and you say people will die because of this, you will accused of being emotional and overreacting until people die because of it. Then you will be accused of politicizing it. This encapsulates all of Trump's policies.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

However unsure we may be about what the ultimate outcome will be, we may rest morally certain that Donald Trump has absolutely no idea what he’s doing from one moment to the next. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/u...

For decades, US presidents from both parties used a simple formulation for defining a tyrant: a leader who threatens or uses military force to suppress their domestic political opposition. Now we have a president doing just that and conservatives are cheering. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
