Jaw dropped. Trump Administration Removes Report on Missing and Murdered Native Americans, Calling It DEI Content

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

Read this and be petrified. And then get organized.

When the pendulum swings back, even if they don’t give their names and badge numbers, there will be payroll records. At this point, anyone tied to ICE should be put on a terror watch list.

The University of Virginia, considered among the top five public universities for more than two decades, just cut a deal with a guy who paid a $25 million fraud settlement for running a fake university.

The East Wing of the White House — which Trump is demolishing as though it belongs to him — is 70,000 square feet. A football field is 56,000 square feet. Trump’s palatial ballroom will occupy 90,000 square feet. Enough said.

The East Wing is the perfect metaphor for this whole presidency and its effect on the nation and democracy.

Boggling how much better run and stable and safe things were in the United States just one single year ago.

almost wonder if he's gonna lose interest in the east wing and just like leave it half built and like exposed

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Extremely funny that INFOWARS has agreed not to publish anything without the explicit consent of the US government

ABC News pulled the satellite imagery of the White House comparing Sept. 26 to today. abcnews.go.com/Politics/new...

Watching this fool knock down the White House and feeling pretty solid about all the times people called me crazy.

NBC News finds that: -- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six. -- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam. -- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

We love our Marines and owe a debt of gratitude to Camp Pendleton, but next time, the Vice President and the White House shouldn’t be so reckless with people’s lives for their vanity projects. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

The most reckless, stupid administration E-V-E-R. Nothing comes close.

same as ever

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

Doing some back of the napkin math on the Free Press acquisition, I've determined The Onion is worth $2 trillion.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Even in his most fevered, drunken dreams, Richard Milhous Nixon couldn't possibly have even imagined doing a tenth of this shit.

I find I can’t muster a proper response to either the Tylenol madness or the U.N. appearance. At some point it is just too ridiculous. It would feel insane to offer sane commentary.

Some of us do.

Missing this guy today

If you are Border Czar Homans, and you did NOT take the $50,000 in a paper bag, wouldn't you been screaming at the top of your lungs that you want the FBI tape of the transaction released publicly in order to clear your name? Yet he isn't doing that. Hmmmm......

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Reminder: there are no checks and balances if no one checks or balances.

It's a good reminder to look at the actual text every once in a while.

One stark marker of how much our society has devolved in just a few years is Bob Iger personally got on a call to convince us to let Disney/HULU make the 1619 Project. That America no longer exists.

and this show somehow has advertisers

ICE and CBP are largely arresting and detaining noncriminals. In a two-month span, only 14% of Fox News’ coverage of immigration enforcement mentioned noncriminal migrants being detained.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

The President of the United States went on CNBC today and said: He won the 2020 election (he didn’t). He has a 71% approval rating (he doesn’t). The jobs numbers were rigged (they weren’t). I could say something funny here, but I won’t. It’s just so damn dangerous to have him in the White House.

I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard — the nation’s top intelligence official — my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.

Rewriting history: Smithsonian removes Trump, the only president impeached twice, from its exhibit about impeachment. "Only three presidents have seriously faced removal," the exhibit now says referring to Johnson, Nixon and Clinton @janaykingsberry.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Trump's war on facts has reached a new level and the message is clear: Government officials who deal in data now fear they have to toe the line and adopt his version of reality no matter how false or risk losing their jobs. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/03/u...

Cancel the 2028 L.A. Olympics, says columnist Joe Mathews. “Hosting an Olympic Games requires us to work together with a lawless U.S. regime — and its rights-violating security apparatus — as it openly wages war against our city and state.” www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

Me three months ago:

The tariff thing is so stupid. It’s so depressing watching Trump drive the country into a ditch …. Again and again and again
