Over on Slate, I see Chauncey DeVega is blowing up the fantasy that Trumpism is fading. As a demented malignant narcissist & Putin/Cohn disciple, Trump has one strategy always. Attack, attack, attack. He’ll keep raising the stakes. Doesn’t mean he’ll win. But it’s an ugly fight to the end.

As expected 2026 midterms elections are gonna be a mess, chaos Trump will do everything from interfering w voting, seizing votes and machines, denying results claiming fraud, crimes, foreign interference, refuse to accept the results, recess congress, declare insurrection

Welp, looks like Trump’s glitching neural network is entering the Thelma and Louise cliff dive phase. You may have noticed his ideas get wackier and ever more dangerous by the hour. Our “leaders” seem to be ok with this lunatic driving blindfolded at 3 AM with no headlights. Brace for impact.

If you think the Trump revelations in the Epstein Files (which barely scratch the surface) are going to move the needle with the MAGA devotees, you’re dreaming. They already know all the crimes and do not care. Trump is God’s man and that’s that.

Maybe it’s just me, probably is, but do you think it’s at all possible our President is a little wrong in the head? Could that be?

Lotsa folks shocked, shocked that “Melania” made $8M at the box office. Yeah, well, remember how some right-wing hoohah would write a dumbass book and it would shoot to the top of the NY Times book sales? Man, that was rich folk scamming with mass purchases. Same thing here. Always with the scams.

From the black humor/irony file: Deputy Blanche steps up to say 50% of the Epstein Files are now released. Nogo on the rest because they’re so horrific. To our surprise the new release had docs describing DJT’s pedophilia until *poof* they suddenly disappeared. Really? Stupidest coverup ever.

Mark my words, the Battle of Minneapolis is where fascism met its match, where an entire city, armed only with their bodies, voices and cameras, stood their ground day after day, night after night. The goal was to break them and they failed. Minneapolis, you have inspired a nation! We are with you!

I was thinking we should throw a party to thank Merrick Garland for fucking over the entire nation and, it appears, the world as well. History will remember his part in turning the US into a dumbshit fascist state. Before we cut the cake, he can tell us again how he returned norms to the DOJ.

The time to rise against the corporate overlords is now! youtu.be/3WH2zXxfAJw?...

I don’t get it. Are these Trumpists so insulated from the world outside their lunatic bubble that they genuinely believed adoring crowds would swarm into theaters to worship…Melania? Nope. She’s in for a world of humiliation that will be brief. We’re all a little distracted by the rise of fascism.

And this?

Trump just threatened Springsteen. We’re way up in the weeds now.

I think it’s the Epstein files, Mr. 34-fraud-convictions.

Medgar Evers, Emmett Till, Fred Hampton, Tulsa, Rosewood, Malcolm X, Dr. King. This shit we got ain’t new. It’s just way bigger and the entire force of the United States government is aimed at subduing the population. By any means necessary.

All this Gestapo stuff is being led by Stephen Miller, our own Goebbels. If Miller avoids prison because, well, this is America, then I like ostracism. Businesses everywhere refuse to serve him in any way. And when people see him, they all turn their backs until he’s gone. Make him the living dead.

Dear Commander Bovino, You used to laugh about everybody that was hanging out. Now you don’t talk so loud. Now you don’t seem so proud about having to scrounge your next meal. How does it feel to be on your own?

Everybody should show up for Trump’s funeral. Will be wild!

Brett Ratner trying to come back from his forced exile by directing the Melania movie is distilled self-own.

Little known fact: Bovino was the model for Elf on the Shelf.

Trump hopes that by firing Bovino it will placate enough people to take some of the heat off ICE so they can resume their gestapo shit with less scrutiny. Fuck that. Let's enjoy the small victory, but then get right back to fighting. ICE must be abolished, anything less isn't enough.

A while back I wrote the Trumpists are the dog that caught finally caught a car. I was wrong. They are the dog that caught a fully loaded semi. The Battle of Minneapolis lit a fire. New game.

I would put on my dancing shoes if it turned out the republic were saved not by Democratic leadership, not by law firms or corporations or universities. It will have been saved by the people of Minneapolis who stood their ground against fascist attacks. They have awakened a sleeping nation.

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

The lying is the story The lying ensures it will happen again

Been reading about the rise of Hitler. That’s all I have to say about.

Oh no. I got blocked because I’m supposed to be being mean to all Americans because their government is evil. I understand the complexity of this time. I think the USA is on the brink of civil war. I think people understand it. My being cruel to them until then will not improve any of this.

This photo was so powerful. Please be safe, but record everything you can. If this administration is lying again and again. Thankfully, people are recording everything

The reason we suddenly stopped hearing about the revolution in Iran is because the regime has enforced a blackout, cutting the country off from the rest of the world. The reality is that innocent Persians are being massacred by the thousands right now and nobody knows it. 😔

Imagine being afraid to walk the streets at night. Imagine worrying about your children going out alone. Imagine being falsely accused, sometimes repeatedly. Imagine watching the community you worked hard to build burnt to the ground. Not just in a year, but long decades. Imagine you’re Black.

🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇 There you have it. ICE has never been about immigration enforcement. It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

This statement from an eyewitness to the Minnesota murder of Mr. Pretti is gut wrenching, from beginning to end. Please disseminate it as you see fit. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Call the piece of legislation that ultimately abolishes ICE the Pretti-Good Act

Fuck this narrative that MAGA is losing the immigration debate. We just saw ICE murder 2 US citizens in cold blood, watched the regime attack the victims, cover up the crime scenes, and prevent LEOs investigating. They want you to know they can kill anyone and laugh about it. Narrative, my ass.

“Heartbroken but also very angry… sickening lies by the administration… reprehensible and disgusting… Alex is clearly not holding a gun… please get the truth out about our son, he was a good man…”

Zoowie mama, you can feel it, the tide turning, shifting from the gradually part to suddenly. Trump is looking weak, demented and vulnerable. They’ll double and triple down, of course, it’s all they know. But it won’t work. All the scared toadies will try to save themselves. Keep popcorn handy.

Never once did I imagine fascism as stupidly horrific as this mess. I mean, Hitler made his henchmen dress the part and he always looked neat. We’ve got slime oozing out of the oval. The resident wears a diaper and stinks. And his minions are right out of LOTR. Even their tyranny is embarrassing.

I know we’re in hell and all and people are dying and so is America and WWIII is peeking around the corner. I know. But you gotta admit the fact the monsters chose a tiny little human strutting about surrounded by goons to be the terrifying poster child of the US-style Gestapo is pretty damn funny.

I was thinking about making a movie about Schumer called “The Life of Chuck,” but he can’t dance.

OMG! Trump’s greatest ever Board of Peace will consist of Putin, Netanyahu, Lukashenko, and I think maybe Gary Ridgway there to offer expert advice. It’s like all the Marvel villains teamed up to take on the Avengers, except we don’t have Avengers. We have Chuck Schumer.

Citizens United, my brothers and sisters. It was a shot straight to the heart of democracy.
