“In our country the lie has become not just a moral category but a pilar of the state”

Solzhenitzyn could have foreseen Trumpism, but was referring to the USSR

"the speaker of the House is refusing to seat a duly elected member of Congress to protect the president from a vote to investigate his extensive connections the world's most notorious human trafficking pedophile" is one of those things you simply cannot put into New York Timesese

Ultimate YIMBY that Cheeto

Remember he got the oligarchs that bent the knee to "pay" for it
My guess is that he will pay the contractor (who are undoubtedly friends) but pocket the difference between actual costs and inflated estimates he will use to brag about his $B ballroom

Like a too smart for their own good third year medical student questioning the rain-makin' cardiac surgeon on the ethics of informed consent during a triple bypass with aortic valve replacement....does not end well.

Kinda funny how we libs are so beholden to truth
Whats keeping us from Trumpifying #NoKings marches numbers? Everyone's being so sincere sticking to the 7M number when Cheeto would've easily tripled that on his first tweet, gone to 30 Sunday night & hit 50M on a call to FoxNews this morning

Doubt any amount of dropped subscriptions will wake them up as long as the dinner party crowd they hang with keeps inviting them

Yeah, but all that oil cash pumping up Cheeto’s a$$ was meant to stop the fighting/killing before their peeps get angry in the “Arab street”

Doc Sarvis @drsoup34.bsky.social · 16h

There is a non-zero chance, and I would bet much higher, that rich guys donated to Cheeto's campaign, bought membership to MAL, and have bought his crypto sh|t primarily to buy silence from the admin

They are probably funneling cash to the Speaker's PAC

SCOOP: more than a third of new recruits at the ICE training academy have failed the personal fitness test -- so many that the agency has had to start pre-screening new hires to weed out what one official called "athletically allergic candidates" www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

A Third of ICE-Academy Recruits Are Failing Out

Push-ups, sit-ups, and a brisk jog pose a threat to Trump’s deportation campaign.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

So you are saying if he triggers the insurrection act, in theory the troops could go after him more aggressively than Garland?

The networks took the much smaller Tea Party movement so seriously they broadcast a Tea Party rebuttal to Obama’s 2011 SOTU on top of the normal GOP one.

Paul Waldman @paulwaldman.bsky.social · 1d

Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

In actual wars, the US at least attempts to argue the killing of civilians is collateral damage.

In this case there’s no war and really no attempt to argue this is anything but premeditated murder, justified by the assumption of crimes that are not capital offenses.

🚨🚨🚨Hegseth has now struck a boat belonging to the ELN guerrillas — bringing the US into a shooting war with group that has been fighting the Colombian govt since 1964! Meanwhile, Tump cut off aid to Colombia claiming President Petro was in league with traffickers.🙄
This is insanely dangerous!!!🚨🚨🚨

On October 17th, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN), a Designated Terrorist Organization, that was operating in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility.
The vessel was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was traveling along a known narco-trafficking route, and was transporting substantial amounts of narcotics. There were three male narco-terrorists aboard the vessel during the strike—which was conducted in international waters. All three terrorists were killed and no U.S. forces were harmed in this strike.
These cartels are the Al Qaeda of the Western Hemisphere, using violence, murder and terrorism to impose their will, threaten our national security and poison our people. The United States military will treat these organizations like the terrorists they are-they will be hunted, and killed, just like Al Qaeda.

Those with sharp eyes might detect a subtle difference in NYT play last month of an event in one city, w 100,000+ attendees, versus play this morning of some 2500+ events w many millions of attendees, in all 50 states.

See if you can spot it! /s

Then you can find today's story on p A23

Front page of NYT on September 22, 2025, with large top-of-page photo of a Charlie Kirk memorial service, and the lead page-one story on the same topic.

Front page of today's NYT, Oct 19, with no story about the nationwide protests, and a "below the fold" montage of two photos, and a link to a story on page 23.
