My best guess is that between 30% and 40% of U.S. Presidents have committed sexual assault, as legally defined. E.g., 3 out of the last 7. Clinton, Trump, Trump. It’s a data set. For whatever it’s worth. Reason 1,385 why women should be in charge. Men are generally unstable. I say this as a man.

Every single line in this post is a lie. That’s quite an achievement.

Congrats again to the East Coast elites who told us this guy was a "credible Treasury Secretary" and a "renaissance man" because he went to the right schools & it's a Big Club.

Trump’s latest corrupt act illustrates the pernicious, corrosive effect his behavior has on everything he touches. He draws others into his corruption, effectively, with ease. Here, both FIFA-no saint, but also Team USA, which did nothing wrong. Win, it will be tainted. Lose, they were cursed. ETTD.

I’m a Californian and a Santa Barbarian. ☝🏻 Working to allow my nation, my beloved America, to be reclaimed by the real Americans. Not the cruel, incompetent, corrupt, venal, ignorant, lying assholes running the federal government right now. The phony Americans. Sorry, not sorry.

A reminder that Republican senators (and representatives) could have stopped Trump any time they wanted to.

Fact ✅ Accurate 💯

14th Amendment in action: Folarin Balogun’s Nigerian parents, from London, visited New York. His mom was 7 months pregnant. On their return, airline staff refused Mom’s ticket, given her pregnancy was so advanced. Born in NYC, American Balogun keeps scoring goals for the USA in the World Cup. U S A

All that is required is take the House (3 seats) & Senate (4 seats), White House in ‘28 (1 seat). Shitcan the filibuster on Day 1, pass and sign a Bill. 4 hearings in weeks. This would solve 80% of our problems. 4 qualified Justices in their 30s to balance the Court, 7-6, for the Constitution.

TAKE THE QUIZ! NAME THE POLITICAL PARTY! claude.ai/public/artif...

The canard that “both sides” are guilty OF ANYTHING in terms of political positions is absurd. The GOP has lurched, in the last decade, away from classic conservative positions into full-blown, undisguised, oligarchic, white supremacist Fascism. The Dems have folks who want health care and shelter.

I think we have a lead on the “Vandals” who messed up Trump’s Reflecting Pool.

Here is a public service announcement filmed by the Dallas Cowboys in the 1980s, and I promise that you would not correctly guess who pops up at the end if I gave you 10,000 tries

A week in Costa Rica freed my mind from the muck that is “the situation” in America long enough to imagine, and calculate, how it ends. Not with a verdict. With a resignation. How it actually plays out — the grounds, the numbers, the pardon: tinyurl.com/399w7ste

There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, his band, and his crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. This was the perfect full-circle goodbye!

Everything Trump touches dies. We have a front row seat here in Southern California. Just follow the news from the bottom up. "Who knew drilling oil off the coast of Southern California was so complicated?" Trump knew, I just said I don't care."

He's the cartoon villain who is risking the world seeing an American Destroyer in flames in the Persian Gulf. With all that entails. For what? Sheer, psychotic-level vanity. It's INSANITY this is allowed by Republican, lickspittle Senators and Congressmen. When this goes to shit, they do too.

The pattern of Trump's drawn down of US forces and non-delivery of military equipment is fully consistent with a decision to assist Russia with an attack on NATO's eastern flank. Indeed, this is unmistakable.

Modern Hungary is not just a model for conservative statecraft but the model.” — Heritage Foundation president, on the record, 2022. Magyar just revealed Orbán was funding CPAC with Hungarian taxpayer money. The MAGA proof of concept wasn’t a demonstration. It was a subsidized production.

Wow. This IS a different kind of Pope!!

Anyone who voted for this creature, even once, should head to the nearest Catholic Church and pray for forgiveness, whether you're a Catholic, Christian or not. What is it going to take to get rid of this dangerous, delusional, immoral husk of excrement? It'll be too late after nuclear exchanges.

Six weeks ago, the Strait of Hormuz was open. Gas cost $3. Today Trump declared a “complete blockade”—not to reopen it, but to close it further. The response to a partial blockade is a total one. Arson dressed as firefighting. davesecrest.substack.com

Orbán told Putin: “I am at your service.” Russia plotted a fake assassination attempt to swing his election. His foreign minister leaked EU secrets to Moscow for years. Vance flew to Budapest and endorsed him. Said nothing about any of it. New today: substack.com/@davesecrest...

I have no interest in the show but really enjoyed reading thisi review. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-review...

Forty days. Eight stated war objectives. Zero unqualified successes. I cataloged every public reason Trump gave for the Iran war — by date and speaker — then measured each against reality tonight. The two most important goals? Both worse than before the first bomb fell. The scorecard 🧵

Behold, the miraculous octopus.

Yesterday, the president who won the White House promising “no more stupid wars” told Americans that because of the war he started, the government can no longer afford Medicare or Medicaid. “We’re fighting wars. We can’t take care of day care.” That is the story of the last 75 years.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The Defense Secretary is a former TV host. The lead negotiators are real estate developers. The president has declared victory four times while ordering more troops. Sam Rayburn knew the difference between intelligence and wisdom. We could use him now. New piece up at When History Rhymes.

They’re propping him up like “Weekend at Bernie’s.”Why? To steal as much of everything as possible as quickly as possible. And by ”they” I mean the oligarchs, white supremacists, fascists, tech bros and the entire, capitulated, corporate GOP billionaire donor class. Enemies Of The People. Traitors.

Statistically you are more likely to be raped by Donald Trump than you are to commit voter fraud.

OK, this Tucker Carlson impression on Saturday Night Live last night is uncanny! Has all the verbal tics and go-to phrases down, and nails the high-pitch cackle.

Good God they are entitled, ridiculous morons, vacuous in mind and spirit, oblivious to everything they should know and do as representatives of the American people. And they’re in charge of the federal government. Because Trump put them there. And 70 million American wanted him to do so. Tragic.

New today. I don’t know how to say this in a way that doesn’t sound like hyperbole, so I’ll just say it plainly: The undisputed facts show that Trump manufactured a war at the direction of a junior partner to create the pretext for stealing the next election. Every claim sourced. 48 endnotes. 🧵

Y'all know that Harry Dunn is a man of courage and integrity, traits we desperately need in Congress. He promises to protect democracy, implement commonsense gun laws, invest in infrastructure and improve access to affordable healthcare. Elect Harry Dunn Maryland's 5th Congressional District

Trump’s Foolish Folly: Israel showed him a shiny target. He didn’t ask what else was in it. Now: $120 oil. A closed strait. 7 dead Americans. 150 dead children. Gulf allies bombed. 36% approval in week 1. The consequences are irreversible. The damage will continue to accumulate. tinyurl.com/sjm7ky9r

Venezuela in January. Iran in February. Cuba promised by summer. Elections targeted for federal takeover by November. Old imperialism had institutions that outlasted any single leader. This is imperialism without restraint, fused with fascism at home. The dying emperor is in a hurry.

yes, nothing says "innovation reinvention" like a nepobaby trust fund brat with no meaningful experience being gifted a massive hollywood empire by his technofascist dad, who leveraged his corrupt influence over the country's pudding-headed autocrats to box out competitors (?)

Trump just tried to financially destroy Anthropic for refusing to enable autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. CEO Amodei’s response was remarkable, publicly stating the government’s order is legally suspect, and that compliance may be a choice, not a compulsion. Analysis:
