A year-end special from me: The 25 Worst Villains of the Trump Admin, in ranking order. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

The Trump administration is pushing to expand grazing on public lands while reducing its already low cost, under the false premise that it will fill America’s coffers. Wealthy ranchers are profiting — at the expense of taxpayers. With @highcountrynews.org

Trump built MAGA by normalizing cruelty and dehumanizing anyone labeled an “enemy.” It has worked for him for a long time. Lately, though, it’s starting to backfire. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-crue...

A federal judge has ruled the Trump regime broke the law when it deported over 200 Venezuelans to El Salvador's CECOT without due process in March. Here's your reminder of what due process is — and why it's the cornerstone of our democracy.

The next president will have a new cabinet position: "The Secretary of Removing Every Reference to Donald J. Trump From Anything Other than STDs, Outhouses and Flaming Dumpsters, Crowbarring Off Tacky Gold Bric-a-Brac from White House Walls, and Joyously Dynamiting the Vulgar Trump Ballroom."

MAGA: I voted for this! $400 million ballroom. Triumphal arch. Qatari jet. Renaming an arts center. Foreign crypto deals. Blowing up boats. Saudi golf resorts. High tariffs on goods. Record deficits. Epstein cover up. Pardons for drug traffickers and rich fraudsters.

If you ever found yourself wondering "what sort of evil fucker would have turned in Anne Frank?" it's the people who did this.

Congress demanded Jack Smith testify about his investigations, but kept him behind closed doors during his sworn deposition. If we care about transparency, then Congress should release the transcript. My thoughts in Bloomberg. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

So Sec of State Rubio thinks Calibri font (which I use for the current science books and apparently is easier to read on electronic media) is too DEI, so going for the Victorian novel look with Times New Roman (as I do for Paralogs of Fogg). Can we get lots of doilies at State too now?

If inflation comes up at the dinner table, don’t forget to draw attention to a deeper structural driver of high prices: corporate power. Much of the food industry is dominated by a few corporate giants with the power to keep prices high because they face little competition.

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos. I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Hilarious & deliciously ironic that Trump's own AI tool isn't helping Trump www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WQb...

Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors. Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor. Reverse Robin Hood.

Many Americans are hurting right now because of the shutdown, but caving to Republicans won’t end the hurt. Trump and his lapdogs continue to assert that they alone have the power to slash whatever programs they don’t like. Deals with this regime are meaningless.

This is the food distribution line at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas 11/7/25. This is what Trump doesn't want you to see.

One of the few positive aspects of this era in American history is that it's super-easy to identify the villains.

Does he even hear himself?

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.
