Who has Trump targeted so far besides Comey in his retribution campaign? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

There is only one instance in which cryptocurrency is practical - when you are buying something that is legally prohibited and you can't use traditional currency to pay for it. Today the prohibited thing is LSD, a year from now it could be HRT.

Truly weird and insane week with the financial times piece and the OpenAI piece today. Next week is an 18,000 word piece called “yes, we’re in a bubble,” the story of how generative AI got here and why it’s inherently screwed - and I’ll be recording it as a four-part episode for Better Offline.

The Opus Dei Court rule of decision is simple: Trump wins, and no, we won't explain why.

Basically, you can get fired as a government employee for doing what Jerry Jones and Jaime Dimon did in 2020

NEW: Responding to a @nytimes.com report that the Trump Justice Department is planning to investigate the Open Society Foundations, @alexsoros.bsky.social said the massive left-leaning philanthropy did nothing wrong & would only stop its work "over my dead body."

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

Book 20 #Book2025 #BookSky 💙📚 “I carry the burden of my past, but I refuse to let it define my future “

We currently have a Supreme Court that seriously claims (with no explanation) that the current occupant of the Presidency suffers irreparable harm by having to follow existing law, the constitutionality of which has never before been in doubt or even questioned.

George Conway @gtconway.bsky.social on the Comey indictment: "This indictment is just quintessentially Trumpian: it is both breathtakingly corrupt, and mind-blowingly stupid."

I’m telling you, there’s just not enough outrage about the craven actions of Speaker Mike Johnson.

DOJ has sued 8 states for protecting their citizens' sensitive voter registration data. My law firm has intervened to oppose DOJ's efforts in the first two states -- Maine and Oregon. Six more to go...

The US has gone from "walk softly and carry a big stick" to "react to every perceived slight like the most insecure guy in the room"

So thought it was a 'shot in the dark' as I didn't really think the book would be on the shelf. To my surprise it was there and further there was someone else who grabbed her copy right ahead of me. Thanks to B&N; especially here in deep RED texas. #Booksky #resistanceart #ArtAsProtest

UPDATE: The man ICE violently arrested has been identified as Job Arias-Mendoza. Two weeks ago he published a video to his social media accounts of ICE handcuffing a man in front of a liquor store—it has more than 200,000 views on TikTok. streetcarsuburbs.news/arias-mendoz...

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" Bailing out a failed libertarian austerity agenda in Argentina... "That's just how it is."

The Clown Show at the Pentagon continues.

What the fuck?

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

Hi, just a note— The local ICE/ERO agent directing his team to fire at reporters' faces in Chicago this morning has been threatening press since we showed up at immigration court in June. His agents shot us both at close range last week, too. None of this started today!

you probably need to be of a certain vintage to understand the absolute hilarity of ken starr being in the epstein files

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.

Feel like if this is how the law works, there’s no reason to make a budget deal because there’s no reason to believe anything that you win via Congress will actually happen anyway.

Mom at the park just told me she wasn’t going to finish her baby’s vaccine schedule because “of the new information that has come out from the CDC”. Robert Kennedy is a fucking monster.

Scoop: Trump fired a U.S. Attorney in Sacramento less than six hours after she told his California border patrol chief to abide by court orders and the Constitution while conducting his immigration raids. With @haleaziz.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

He’s become so fu-king deranged and unhinged.

In the future, everyone will be called upon by the President to be fired — for 15 minutes.

Georgia’s Medicaid work requirements program spent two times as much on administrative costs as on health care costs — while preventing thousands of eligible Georgians from accessing health care. Say it with me: Medicaid work requirements don’t work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzMqYttKv1c

Mother Earth is hanging on a thread because 3 stubborn, greedy, and selfish old men are determined to burn it down to get what they want. In the West, an old man who was given everything in life wants to take everything from everybody before he leaves earth.

House Oversight Democrats released another batch of Epstein estate records: daily schedules, flight logs, ledgers. Entries note planned meetings with Trump backers, Steve Bannon (Feb 16, 2019) and Peter Thiel (Nov 27, 2017) and Elon Musk. #OpDeathEaters #Epstein

Donald Trump is a convicted criminal And he fires anyone who keeps him from breaking the law.

If a full accounting of Epstein’s crimes - and his accomplices - is ever made public, people on the left and the right are going to feel really dumb that we’ve been arguing with each other while the elites of both parties pal around and do abhorrent shit.

Weird how this comes on the same day new Epstein evidence is released by House Oversight.

the evidence in favor of the traditional understand of the birthright citizenship clause is so overwhelming that a bunch of conservative legal hacks had to conjure a fake literature int existence to create the appearance of dispute. i expect the court to side with trump, of course.

🚨BREAKING: Pennsylvania Supreme Court RULES that election officials violated voter’s rights by rejecting mail-in ballots with technical errors without notifying voters. Voters must be given notice their ballots won’t count so they can challenge the disqualification or cast a provisional ballot.

Paypal mafia members Peter Thiel and Elon Musk as well as the human scab Steve Bannon are in the Epstein files. Explains why MAGA are protecting pedophiles.

It's hilarious that Donald thinks we would believe that *anyone* would turn to him for knowledge about Amelia Earhart—or any other history lesson. He didn't even know what happened at Pearl Harbor when he visited during his first term. He's a moron. www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2020/01/17/d...

It may seem like nothing will dislodge Republican voters from Trump’s camp. But buyer's remorse occurs slowly. In Sept. 1973, polls showed 2/3rds of Republicans thought the Watergate hearings were bad for the nation. Then came even more evidence and Nixon's resignation in Aug. ‘74. Keep fighting.

NEW: Only 14 of 23 Grand Jurors voted to indict James Comey.

NEW: I arrived in the U.S. eight weeks ago to report on how the administration’s immigration crackdown was playing out from the front lines. What I saw Thursday was the culmination of ICE’s aggressive behavior. By @tilleckert.com

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

They certainly have honed their playbook of how to exploit people they couldn’t care less about.

This sounds crazy but it’s literally just a plain, accurate description. Again, like all the rest of the lawless authoritarianism, this Article III constitutional crisis is really an Article I constitutional crisis. Congress could end this nonsense at literally any time. bsky.app/profile/mcop...
