It is clear that Trump and his administration do not see themselves as the president of United States, but only the president of their supporters. Hopefully voters will respond in kind. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/u...

this is an especially good thing to hammer because it wedges the WH away from congressional Republicans

True irony: Republicans have decided to rename Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill the “Working Families Tax Cut”

Matthew Silverstone is a real American Hero. I try not to use shooters’ names, but everyone should know Matthew Silverstone. He warned other students and fought the shooter. PS - this is hitting hard today bc I’m in Evergreen for an unrelated charity event. www.denverpost.com/2025/09/17/e...

Trump: “Smart people don’t like me”

If you don’t want to be called a Nazi, stop acting like one.

The reason this ad works is not just that it appeals to a lot of Americans, but that Mallory looks and sounds like someone who genuinely cares about this. We need more relatable and authentic candidates. Mallory is that.

Of course, it was Maurene Comey! She hyped the files, meanwhile slipping fake evidence of Trump’s relationship with Epstein. And her father is James Comey. It all makes sense. She probably fed Bongino all the false news

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

An orange leopard ate his face.

His kid wiping boogers on the desk didn’t help either.

Maybe choosing someone who is one of your NY real estate investor pals with no diplomatic or military experience to be the special envoy to deal with Putin, who refuses to bring any help with him from the State Dept & uses Kremlin translators, wasn’t the best plan to end the war.

Trump’s Deputy White House Chief of Staff is his former golf caddie, so obviously none of these people were chosen for their qualifications, competence and experience. Once you’ve established that you will tell anyone who asks that Trump shot a 67, there’s no limit to how high you can go.

Sen. Hassan asked Ms. Noem “Secretary Noem, what is habeas corpus?” “Well,” Ms. Noem said, “habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country and suspend their right to—” Hassan: “No, Let me stop you, ma’am. Excuse me, that’s incorrect.”

What's not in the bill? 1) Ban on taxing tips 2) Ban on taxing overtime 3) Ban on taxing social security MAGA got played (...again)

Stephen Miller is opening the conversation about suspending habeas corpus. Everyone should be frightened.

After serving more than 130 million total meals and 26 million loaves of bread over the past 18 months, World Central Kitchen no longer has the supplies to cook meals or bake bread in Gaza. #ChefsForGaza (1/5)

We are not North Korea!

What did Vance say to Pope Francis that killed him?

Gayle King trying to understand why everyone doesn’t have a million dollars: "And then my question is, ‘Have y’all been to space?' Go to space or go to Blue Origin and see what they do and how they do and then come back and say, ‘This is a terrible thing.’ Is it expensive? Yes.”

Please don’t try and tell me that our country is so weak that we can’t demand the return of one person from El Salvador

The unsigned agreement between the US DOGE Service and the Department of Labor provides significant insight into DOGE’s work with federal agencies.

The Trump people claim to be fighting antisemitism, and the media often accept that framing. I believe, on the contrary, that these actions are antisemitic in intention and in execution. I explain in a short video: snyder.substack.com/p/fomenting-...

In Atlantic, David Brooks on ruthlessness of it all: “In Trumpian circles, many people ostentatiously identify as Christians but don’t talk about Jesus very much; they have crosses on their chest but Nietzsche in their heart — or, to be more precise, a high-school sophomore’s version of Nietzsche.”

The opportunity for insider trading and deep corruption with this gyrating nonsense is vast, as the massive stupidity and unquenchable greed of Trump and his minions competes for dominance. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Ron Nava really gets global economies……

A man’s gotta have a code. Trump’s code is that the Saudis are paying him millions to host the golf tournament, so that’s where he is.

My working theory on Trump’s tariff on penguins is that they in some way interfered with a golf outing he had somewhere. Developing …

Not the brand boost one would hope for.

NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID. This is what actual campus censorship looks like.
