in summary: the United States is now governed by a national administration of criminals, thugs, liars, racists and religious fanatics it's destroying the rule of law, damaging our economy, and weakening our national security

Mission accomplished, time to cash in

The kind of thing that would be a major scandal in a normal administration. Barely a blip in this one. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

true

We are sensing a theme

UPDATE: Senate Dems have asked State and Commerce Inspectors General to open formal investigations into Steve Witkoff and David Sacks, based on NYT story examining multibillion $$$ crypto/chips deals. Third Senator promises to use his power to investigate the matter www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/u...

it will never not be wild to me that there are actual human people walking around our neighborhood streets dressed just like this I think we need to continue to remind our brains that this is extremely not normal

Let’s be clear: What Donald Trump said in public, in plain view, on his own social media feed is more corrupt and dangerous than anything Richard Nixon was caught on tape saying in the White House tapes. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/rid-me-of-...

I love that Harwood said this 👇🚀👇🚀

Trump says Cuba has 'virtually no autism.' That's news to Cuban doctors, @cnn.com's Havana bureau chief reports: edition.cnn.com/2025/09/23/a...

if you think Joe Biden on his worst day was in the same galaxy of cognitive decay as his successor, you're as embarrassing as Trump is

so embarrassing that this ignorant bigoted buffoon is our president

Vaccines do not cause autism. "One notable study from Denmark looked at more than 650,000 children born between 1999 and 2010 to see if the measles‑mumps‑rubella (MMR) shot could be linked to autism." ... It wasn't. www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/h...

Last year, prominent conservatives accused Charlie Kirk of antisemitism. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/15/u...

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

Trump calls Charlie Kirk the “greatest evangelist for American liberty” during a memorial service, joining a parade of speakers who hailed Kirk as a “martyr” and vowed to carry on his mission promoting an explicitly conservative Christian vision of the US. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

"In a single generation, the combined economic weight of the countries that escaped Russia's orbit now exceeds that of Russia itself, a stunning reversal of fortunes."

right now it feels as if democracy cannot survive Trump's lawless authoritarianism we can only hope that nightmarish prospect - what Larry Summers calls "the self-denying prophecy" - propels the effort to save it. zeteo.com/p/trump-will...

It's true but pointless to charge MAGA w/hypocrisy on “cancel culture,” “lawfare” etc they hold only one principle: gaining power to try and roll back the modern world Kirk’s martyrdom provides a new weapon to crush dissent, so they're using it zeteo.com/p/trump-will...

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

a president's duty to America is seeking calm and unity in a crisis but Trump doesn't care about the country - only himself anger fuels his political enterprise so all he's done since Charlie Kirk's murder is drill baby drill my @zeteo_news column zeteo.com/p/trump-will...

Trump Will Always Fail to Meet the Moment. It’s Up to Us to Fill the Moral Void Where other leaders attempted to heal the US in the wake of political violence, Trump and his cronies have inflamed the country with alarming speed and zealotry. By @johnjharwood.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/trump-will...

Survivors of the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell respond to FBI director Patel’s testimony:

one of a president's biggest responsibilities is trying to unite the country in a crisis Donald Trump's twisted character cannot do it the rest of us have to fill the moral void my @zeteo_news column please read, share and subscribe zeteo.com/p/trump-will...

according to an immigration attorney representing several arrested workers, ICE agents chose to arrest the Korean workers to fulfill the quota of 3,000 daily immigrant arrests set by Stephen Miller www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

I hadn’t seen this. Kirk, the moderate free speech guy who did politics the right way per some liberals (!), called for Biden to be executed. Meanwhile Joe Biden put out a very strong statement condemning Kirk’s killing. Both sides!

Absolutely psychopathic.

No notes

Trump, after Kirk’s awful murder, calls not for reconciliation, but for vengeance… My column:https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-trumps-washington/did-trump-just-declare-war-on-the-american-left

Fox barely covered the original WSJ story about the birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein signed with Trump's signature. And now that the letter has been published for everyone to see, the network has only mentioned the developments one time, on Bret Baier's newscast last night.

I wrote about what I think is a genuinely revealing document of elite depravity and impunity. It is shocking and sickening. But it's also a crucial moment. We're about to see what happens when conspiracy theorists actually get what they asked for but it turns out not to be what they want.

It is incredibly simple to acknowledge that violence in any form is awful and erodes society.

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.

OF COURSE THE LETTER, DRAWING AND SIGNATURE ARE AUTHENTIC TRUMP AND THOSE AROUND HIM ARE SHAMELESS LIARS

AP analysis: Presidents are taking longer to approve disaster aid. For some, the wait is agonizing apnews.com/article/fema...

The instinct to fact check White House claims that the signature on the letter is not Donald's is how they win. It's how they move this into the realm of two competing truths. Just mock them when they make those claims.

need to spread as much vaccine sanity as we can right now bsky.app/profile/voic...

A 97 year old pediatrician in Florida speaks on measles before there was a vaccine. "It was never any joke... If they ever stop giving [the vaccine] in schools, I think we'll have major problems in this country."

Yesterday Trump announced his treasonous plan to wage war against we, the people in Chicago. Today, this grotesque figure is planning to attend the U.S. Open tennis final, poisoning what should be a day for excitement, relief and pleasure.

"The Cowardice of Senate Republicans" They act like they're willing to push back against Trump's dangerous legislation and Cabinet members, but at every move they bend to the president and his madness, writes @johnjharwood.bsky.social. Read the full article here: zeteo.com/p/the-coward...
