Narrator: As Trump decomposes before the entire world, the House GOP has announced that they have competed an inquiry into the cognitive decline of ... Joe Biden, with a special focus on what pens he used.

Mike Johnson: "Every executive action signed by the autopen without written authorization should be voided ... including all the pardons that he signed."

Now this is a political post I can get behind!

Enough with the commentary already. How about rolling up your sleeves and doing the work before offering criticism.

Fact check: This morning, it was announced that it was 10 years. Can I get an official call from the decision desk?

Look. It would be great if there was one simple trick for winning elections. But 'just be more moderate' isn't it.

In fact, you can use the NYT's exact method to 'prove' a 'Progressive Advantage' of +1.4 pts.

This piece shows what's really going on: funded candidates do better than unfunded ones.

The New York Times’ “Moderation Advantage” Is a Statistical Illusion

After accounting for money and incumbency the supposed electoral bonus for moderate candidates vanishes entirely.

It flies under the radar because it is overwhelmed by the sheer repulsiveness of the physical destruction of the east wing, but there is no way that a president should be allowed to use private money to change public property. It circumvents the power of the purse.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

For the sake of posterity I thought I'd do a thread on all the epically stupid things Trump has done in recent days.

1) Let them eat ballroom

www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom

The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

this shit is blatantly unconstitutional and really, really, REALLY bad

www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Screenshot from Washington Post: ICE also reported a $2 million contract for Penlink’s Tangles and Weblocs data systems on Sept. 25, which combine social media and dark web data to build detailed portraits of individuals. Weblocs allows clients to track the mobile phone location data of targeted individuals, information that government officials would otherwise need a warrant to obtain. Penlink did not respond to a request for comment.
In another project, ICE has disclosed in recent days its potential plans to set up a social media monitoring team of 16 analysts who would sift through information from social media platforms and other databases to generate leads to locate targeted individuals. An Oct. 2 “request for information,” which comes before soliciting bids for a project that could change, listed Facebook, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, Reddit, WhatsApp, YouTube, Pinterest, Tumblr, Instagram, Flickr, Myspace and Google+ as some of the platforms that the team would scour to find clues about the possible location of the target individual. The target’s family, friends and co-workers could also be probed.

Another power grab by elected Republican reps to strangle local control with one hand while choking off public school funding with the other. Local school budget decisions should be made locally—not by an out-of-touch, out-of-control gang in Concord. #NHPolitics indepthnh.org/2025/10/16/h...

House Finance Subcommittee Votes for Statewide School Budget Cap

Lawmakers will revisit a proposed statewide cap on local school budgets after a Finance Committee subcommittee voted down party lines 4-3 to resurrect House Bill 675.

Something else that has never happened before in American history, as the Trump admin continues to piss on the Bill of Rights while Republicans in Congress continue to remain silent. Another thing to protest on Saturday.

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 13d

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

The RIFs that began Friday will reportedly cut 65% of CISA’s 2,540 employees, one of the dumbest and most dangerous moves imaginable. CISA defends the nation’s cyber and critical infrastructure. Destroying it now only makes sense if you’re afraid of election integrity.
