He did the crimes, Senate and SCOTUS Republicans let him get away with them, he got reelected, Senate Republicans let him appoint his personal lawyers to run DOJ, and now he’s ordering his personal lawyers who run DOJ to give him $230 million of your money.

And the kicker just makes for another Biden-world facepalm moment. 🤦‍♂️

this is really not The Most Important Thing but the White House demolition is flouting building recycling. The grotesque waste obvious in those photos - the smashed windows, the shattered beams - is illegal in many cities. But it's an extremely common crime, and rarely enforced against.

Trump supplicants: "It's doesn't matter if the government is shut down. Private money is paying for this." Me in Rick Deckard Blade Runner voice: "Bribes. You're talking about bribes."

Many things in life and politics are uncertain, but "Trump will fuck you over to benefit himself and a few billionaire buddies" is a pretty safe way to bet.

so I gather this is a lot of people's first middle east cease fire.

Compare/contest with The Guardian. This is journalism.

If you want to read about the mass, nationwide protest against the president and a lawless government in The NY Times, you’ll have to turn to page 23.

It might be easy to dismiss this as "No harm-no foul." That would miss the larger issue that if it's easy for this type of "honest" mistake to happen, what prevents a *dishonest* mistake using the same method?

You know what health care needs? More paperwork! “Pages and pages and pages” of it!

IRS targeting used to be a conspiracy theory.

Very straightforwardly detained by secret police for speech. I honestly don't know what establishment figures are telling themselves any more to avoid cognitive dissonance over this shit.

How many Watergates have we had in the last 9 months?

The executive is usurping a core Article I function, this should be treated with the same amount of alarm as if he declared he's disbanding Congress, because that's functionally what he's doing/done

ICYMI: Stephen Miller's spouse doesn't know Joe Biden exists.

disgorgement (n.) – a legal remedy requiring a party who profits from unlawful or wrongful acts to give up any profits they made as a result of such conduct. Disgorgement, folks. It needs to be on the table.

Imagine that

Once again, we can just recycle Trump’s first ever appearance in The NY Times!

Qatar gave Trump the luxury 747 that he wanted and now we are LETTING THEM BUILD A MILITARY BASE ON US SOIL

You are shameless. You laundered Russian misinformation in 2020 and then communicated with the WH on Jan 6. You weren’t surveilled. DOJ obtained basic records after the fact —date, time and length of call, but no substance — to confirm Trump’s effort to overturn the election.

The First Amendment explicitly guarantees: -the right of the people peaceably to assemble -to petition the Government for a redress of grievances -the free exercise of religion -freedom of speech If this priest had also been press, ICE would have violated all five 1A freedoms at once.

So, it’ll cost 30%-100% more, have wait times twice as long, and bombard you with products you have no interest in? Not to mention the ads!!!

A plausible hypothesis that needs to be investigated to protect our republic and freedoms and planet from fascists and bring them to justice @propublica.org @marisakabas.bsky.social @talkingpointsmemo.com

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

They've broken spellchecking functionality. We had that nailed 30 years ago. You just need a dictionary. WHY would you put AI in that.

The chaos and unrest is being instigated by Miller and Trump. They are the ones bringing violence and disorder to American cities, filming it, and then using those images of their creation to justify the need to send in more troops and assert total control.

The regime is acting this way because there are no consequences so it is clear that consequences—the development of them, the advocacy for them, the imposition on bad behavior—are the answer to our crisis.

weird how the actual answer, "he has been a habitual liar his entire life," is never considered here

There’s no rule of journalistic neutrality that requires you to say something is “unclear” when that is objectively untrue. It would be illegal. There’s absolutely zero ambiguity about that fact. Saying it’s unclear is making a false statement in your reporting.

A judge has recused from hearing the Portland troops case because his wife is a Democratic Congresswoman -- even though it is not "required under either federal law or the [judicial] Code of Conduct." The new judge was appointed by Trump. We have a legal system with two different sets of rules.

Those Democrats are sooo unreasonable

It's not just bribery. He's now using personal litigation, backed by state extortion, to extract "settlements" which he then puts into an account he created to spend on government work, all entirely outside of Congress taxing or appropriating. It's full Charles I illegal taxation and spending.

A grotesquery of false equivalence. Trump officials should/will be prosecuted because of their crimes, not because Trump established the precedent of prosecuting people because of their politics. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/u...

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.
