The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

I believe Mr. Miller is confusing federal law officers with the President, who singularly, and by fiat of the current U.S. Supreme Court, has immunity during his reign should he choose to do drag citizens off the street and detain them illegally or, say, shoot someone down on Fifth Avenue.

Reagan's approach to the world prominently featured two things: 1) Russian aggression bad, Western democratic alliance good 2) Free trade good, tariffs and other barriers to trade bad Pretending it's the opposite is the sort of reality inversion only someone who rejects truth itself could buy.

Once the precedent of not paying the troops according to the rules is created, bad things follow. $130 million is not a large portion of military salary, but sends the message to troops that Trump and his buddies are personally paying them. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-risks-...

For context, annual military compensation is about $600 billion. So $130 million is about $100 per service member or 0.02% of total annual costs. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/u...

worth reiterating again that “the executive can raise and spend money however he likes” has been anathema even under monarchies for centuries we’re not rolling back anything in US history here, we’re rolling back the English Civil War

Bari Weiss likes Trump and wants to help him rule over us like a king

This is over the top sadism. And sadism never exists in isolation – it's always accompanied by sociopathy-psychopathy (ASPD).

NEW — Videos obtained by The TRiiBE show federal agents detaining a Laugh Factory worker on Chicago’s North Side this morning. He and another person were detained around 9:20 a.m., according to rapid response teams. Story TK shortly on thetriibe.com.

This should be seen as what it is: a huge step towards ending free and fair elections.

>SOUTHCOM CO resigns under dubious circumstances >>SOCOM keeps randomly killing people without congressional authority, something the executive publicly states he doesn’t care about >>>the majority leader in the legislative states he doesn’t know or care what authorization the executive is using

Hearing reports of tear gas in Wrigleyville from multiple sources. For non-Chicagoans, Wrigleyville is an affluent, mostly-white neighborhood surrounding Wrigley Field. Chicago's brown and Black communities are still taking the brunt of migra violence, but no neighborhood is immune any longer.

They just gassed Wrigleyville. Yes, Wrigleyville

Look. It would be great if there was one simple trick for winning elections. But 'just be more moderate' isn't it. In fact, you can use the NYT's exact method to 'prove' a 'Progressive Advantage' of +1.4 pts. This piece shows what's really going on: funded candidates do better than unfunded ones.

great piece from @adamserwer.bsky.social on the “anti-woke” tax that americans now pay as a result of conservative identity politics run amok.

A president who can tear down 1/3 of the White House can tear down the entire White House. A president who can steal $230M from the treasury can steal $1T from the Treasury. We have both legalized and tolerated Trump’s crimes, so they will only get bigger.

This might be the most emblematic story of these insanely ridiculous times. Incredible reporting by @lilianasegura.bsky.social

ICE/DHS, FBI, and local police on horseback, along with a secret police force in black tactical gear, were witnessed violently confronting the relatives of individuals abducted during a raid at a "Family Day" rodeo in Idaho. Among those who have gone missing are children and U.S. citizens.

This is straight up Nazi shit This is Trump’s America

will there be any followup to this fascinating story by the president of the united states that a friend of his sent him a check for $130 million dollars and the president is going to give the money to the military because i for one am fascinated about the details tbh

So Elon Musk is trying to make Terminator real life now?

New in PN: Trump shits on us. Why doesn’t the media care? "Millions exercised their rights & Trump’s response was burying them in virtual feces. At best it's juvenile; at worst an ugly attack on the democratic spirit. Either way, it’s very offensive. You’d think journos would want to talk about it"

Did the New York Times have an editorial meeting where they said something like “these are trustworthy people, we should take their word, put it headlines, that’s good journalism.” Did they go so far as to say “we should help the Trump administration sell this action”? Or do they just sorta do it?

After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in a raid in Wilder, Idaho, the FBI said no "young" children were. The updated statement came after KIVI-TV sent FBI photo reportedly showing 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties.

Bullshit. Congress can stop this any time it wants, but it’s controlled by cowards whose slogan is YES KING. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

It seems Glenn Beck and his ilk are preparing their followers for two possible futures: a) permanent and complete GOP control of the federal government or b) massive resistance to a Democratic victory that will make J6 look like a garden party. One thing they’re not prepping folks for is democracy.

The complete refuse to accept political differences and the total demonization of the political opposition is a toxic and dangerous brew. It looks to me as if many Democrats do not understand this is the agenda of the GOP and the right.

If enriching a billionaire by $230m is "small ball" then taxing each billionaire $230m is also small ball.

a functional press would, every single day, repeatedly, across numerous paragraphs in every story about him, make it clear that this is indisputably the most corrupt President in U.S. history

i think "brown scare" should be the priority of democratic legislatures before 2029. even state legislatures.

POTENTIAL?! He’s LITERALLY stealing from us.

This is the asymmetry in our politics and media. If this was the other way around, Biden had pardoned someone then charged with trying to kill Trump, it would be the biggest story in America and every Republican commentator, congressman, news outlet, would be screaming about it in unison.

it worked out great. americans got a great senator in tina smith and democrats held a senate seat in alabama for two years.

I agree with this. There are a lot of people out there who think both parties are the same and if Democrats put a show of pushing out people with Nazi tattoos and shitty text messages and abused employees then all of a sudden you're making inroads.

if his attitude from the jump has been "I did this as a kid and have been ashamed of it since, it was a terrible mistake" I don't think I'd mind. but he's just not being honest here and that's suspicious as hell.

i liked how Platner was campaigning and I am prepared to believe a young marine could make literally any stupid mistake. but I don't believe a guy could spend twenty years maturing politically the way he has and not know what a death's head means www.pressherald.com/2025/10/21/g...

House Judiciary Dems announce investigation of Trump's effort to loot the Treasury for a $230 million DOJ payoff -->

Trump is extorting his own Justice Department for $230 million in taxpayer funds. He refuses to open the government or lower health care costs — but he's eager to steal YOUR money to enrich himself. Unprecedented, unfathomable corruption.

I can’t stop thinking about all the hoopla over removing confederate statues and the phony appeals to “heritage.” But this is done without discussion. It was always about displays of dominance.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

Wow. Harvard nuking its PhD programs - Science PhD admissions reduced by more than 75% - Arts & Humanities reduced by about 60% - Social Sciences by 50–70% - History by 60% - Biology by 75% - The German department will lose all PhD seats - Sociology from six PhD students to zero

Easily. The mainstream media whitewashes 90% of what Trump says and does

If one of your Senators is one of the four (Thune, Scott, Lankford, and Johnson) who has come out v Ingrassia for his Nazi views, you might call and ask when they're going to call out Stephen Miller, who is also a white nationalist, but who also serves as a gatekeeper to what Trump thinks is true.

THIS IS THE ONLY RICH KING I OBEY.

man who tried to slash social security spending promises communism is coming if you just ignore the enormous job losses this year due to the technology he's developing for private profit

Just friendly advice for the Dodgers fans: most fans of other teams are going to be rooting for the Jays no matter what, embrace the villain role and you will be much happier than trying unsuccessfully to convince everyone else that the Dodgers are the heroes everyone should root for
