When this is all over (assuming we the people rise up, or cholesterol holds up its end of the bargain) and we are a proper republic again, WaPo and NYTimes will NEVER regain their former respect. Forever tainted as failed brands circling the drain of cowardice and journalistic malpractice.

This enrages me. Honestly, you should just roll up the paper, throw it in the trash can, and join the White House Office of Communications if this is what you’re going to do these days.

This is precisely how the Trump Foundation worked. He raised money and then spent it on himself. Which got him banned from operating a charity.

New in PN: King Trump turns US Treasury into his personal piggy bank

"His proposal is that his toadies in the DOJ give him taxpayer money, at which point he’d display some largesse and give it away. So Trump wants us, the taxpayers, to pay him so that he can donate our money."

King Trump turns US Treasury into his personal piggy bank

He thinks our money is his.

We drove their other buyers right into their arms.

If Trump’s goal were to transfer the United States’ global economic influence to China, what would he be doing differently?

Trump thought tariffs would cripple China’s exports. Turns out they had other buyers.

during the 2016 campaign, the Boston Globe ran a scary mockup front page of what a world where Trump was president would look like, and it’s pretty tame compared to a random Friday morning’s headlines now

Update: The Chicago clergy letter decrying ICE's actions and voicing a willingness on the part of clergy to put their "bodies on the line" to protest ICE has reached 250 signatures — and now includes multiple evangelical pastors/leaders of evangelical institutions in the area.

NEW: 200+ Chicago-area clergy — Protestants, Catholics, and evangelicals — have signed a letter decrying ICE's efforts and voicing a willingness to put their "bodies on the line" for migrants.

"What Kristi Noem and her ICE agents are doing is immoral," they write. religionnews.com/2025/10/21/a...

(RNS) - Last Friday (Oct. 17), the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister in the Chicago area, stood alongside other protesters demonstrating outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Broadview, Illinois. As a line of Illinois State Police began marching toward her and other demonstrators, gripping wooden batons, footage shows the pastor with her hands raised in prayer.
Officers then pushed into the protesters, forcing them back.
One officer shifted his stance, reared back and began shoving his baton like a battering ram - jamming it repeatedly, Kardon says, into her leg. A few seconds later, the pastor was pulled from the crowd and thrown to the ground.
All the while, Kardon says, she never stopped praying. When officers began to arrest her, they tied her arms behind her back and placed her along the curb.
"I said, 'God, please help these people to know that what they're doing is wrong, and help them to turn around," Kardon, who leads United Church of Rogers Park in Chicago, said in an interview. Her leg, she said, has developed visible bruises.

As I said 6 months ago, the world economy will see the Trump tariffs as damage to route around, and the only country guaranteed to be worse off is the United States.

Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

Consider how few anecdotes it took for the media to declare a Free Speech on Campus crisis.

Every day we get more evidence that the Republican Party is teeming with white supremacists yet elite institutions refuse to frame this as a crisis that needs the nation’s attention.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Revealing something that literally everyone within few mile radius can see is not going to redeem a paper that is circling the drain and hemorrhaging subscriptions.

It’s over.

And nobody else can do that unless they were also a sexist edgelord troll with a Nazi tattoo and former career as a blackwater goon?

This is how you get another Fetterman. 6 months into his term he’ll discover the Democrats are not to his liking and switch parties.
