Most of us who have watched Trump's political career see it. People who have worked directly with him see it. Now even heads of other countries see it. It's high time for America's "free" press to acknowledge it:

Trump is a Russian asset.

Under three months to go and we'll be rid of the worst governor in modern Virginia history; time to rectify the HUGE mistake made by a narrow majority of Virginia voters in November 2021. bluevirginia.us/2025/10/satu...
50501's response to Gov. Glenn Youngkin on yet AGAIN activating the VA National Guard for absolutely no good reason. "We won't be intimidated...we won't be silenced."

Stopped at Office Depot. Had to wait in line behind five other middle-aged people buying poster board and markers.

"Cases Wilted/Wilted Case" is the new term we should all be using, folks. When people are arrested for allegedly interfering with or assaulting officers, yet the cases are dropped.
Reporting Highlights Americans Detained: The government doesn’t track how many citizens are held by immigration agents. We found more than 170 cases this year where citizens were detained at raids and protests. Held Incommunicado: More than 20 citizens have reported being held for over a day without being able to call their loved ones or a lawyer. In some cases their families couldn’t find them. Cases Wilted: Agents have arrested about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, for allegedly interfering with or assaulting officers, yet those cases were often dropped. These highlights were written by the reporters and editors who worked on this story.

The con worked, until it didn’t?

ROGAN: “I really thought they were just going to go after the criminals… I really thought there was enough gang members.”

ME: He still doesn’t get it. That’s what Trump wanted everyone to believe. They’re not even trying to go after “the criminals”.

Racism is Racism. No matter how pretty it looks in its bow and pretty paper. Calling MLK Jr awful but not saying anything wrong about Trump is Racism pure and simple.

Goddamnit, @gtconway.bsky.social.

Don't make me write a dedicated post to how stupid this makes Mike Schmidt look.

It's basically a confession that 1) he stopped tracking Trump's abuses after his two inside sources left the Admin and as a result 2) he's fucking ignorant of the worst abuses.

As @lutzfernandez.bsky.social writes here, the MAGA obsession with the Epstein files was never about justice for his victims, it was only about their revenge fantasies about liberal elites, and now that's been laid bare:
lutzfernandez.bsky.social Anne Lutz Fernandez @lutzfernandez.bsky.social · 3d
In my latest piece for The Unpopulist, I wrote about the convolutions of the Epstein story and how the throughline is MAGA using children to achieve their political ends.

For MAGA, what's supposed to be about the children is never about the children.
MAGA’s Epstein Fixation Isn’t About Justice, It’s About Revenge
House Republicans care less about delivering justice to this sexual predator's underage victims and more about punishing their political enemies
