We lost our house in the Eaton Fire. We're safe, but the level of devastation is impossible to convey. I won't be able to work for a while, so if you want to support us, I'd appreciate a Patreon subscription or buying one of my books. It will help.

This person has spent the entirety of Thanksgiving weekend relentlessly tweeting insane conspiracy theories and nonsense about me. I have never interacted with them, and blocked them years ago.

Stolen election conspiracy theories absolve the loser of having run a poor campaign or being unpopular. Whether it's the right saying Biden stole 2020, or the left saying Trump stole 2016 and 2024, the purpose is absolution through scapegoating. And it means never having to look inward.

I've written a lot about rebuilding after we lost our home and community in the LA wildfires of January. Those posts are all free, but rebuilding sure isn't, and your support means a great deal.

This has been the hardest and most exhausting year of my life. But despite all of the sorrow and uncertainty, I'm thankful for the support and good wishes of my friends here. You all mean the world to me.

There will be a flood of conspiracy theories from both sides about what the DC National Guard shooting "really" was. Except nobody knows exactly what happened or if anyone died, and there are no details about the shooter. Sometimes the proper response is not to respond for a while.

We need to stop thinking just about what will hurt Trump, and start thinking about what will hurt the next iteration of GOP leaders. Trump is a lame duck, he's finished as a candidate. His acolytes are very much just getting started. And Epstein is radioactive for them.

If you've never listened to an old Coast to Coast AM open lines show, this one from just after the 1994 midterms is a great start. They're a fun mix of chaos, conspiracism, random nonsense, and lonely people looking for a sympathetic ear.

Trump's "work 20 hours a day and rip phone books in half" image has never been more at odds with reality. He's an old man and slowing down in all the ways people do when they're old. Maybe he used to have superhuman energy, but Father Time always wins in the end.
“..Trump in his second term has started scheduled events in the afternoon on average, at 12:08 p.m. .. The number of Mr. Trump’s total official appearances has decreased by 39 percent.”

Terry Gilliam talks about how FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS used Hunter S. Thompson's made up definition of adrenochrome, and how QAnon ran with it.

New: I wrote about how when the GOP retook the House in 1994, Art Bell and his listeners were filled with hope, conspiracy theories, and anti-immigrant nativism. 30 years later, nothing has changed.

Today is the 62nd anniversary of JFK being assassinated by a trained marksman firing a close and unobstructed volley of shots at a slow-moving and unprotected car, hitting a target who could not physically move. RIP, President Kennedy.

I have no idea where MTG will land, but I'd bet heavily on her being back in the public eye. She can sit out what will be a midterm bloodbath, then return in early 2027 as the common sense and middle class rebirth of MAGA. She's much smarter than anyone gives her credit for.

The insurrectionists who sacked the capitol and attempted to murder members of Congress to overturn a free election are trying to define "sedition" as something other than what they did. The absolute nerve of these people.

Trump's drain-circling is becoming a vortex. The closer you are to him, the harder it will pull you down. Any Republican with an ounce of instinct for self-preservation will be getting as far from his as possible - even as his cultists hug him tighter.
Q: Trump accused Democrats of seditious behavior punishable by death. Does the president want to execute members of Congress?

LEAVITT: No

Rebuilding from the fire while working and managing the everyday needs of life is like walking through mud while wrapped in gauze during a thick fog. Or maybe it's like walking through fog while covered in mud while it rains gauze. I don't know, my brain hardly works anymore.

One of my more prolific trolls is on a run of dozens of tweets and retweets about me. I wrote about who this person is, and why their parasocial relationship with a leftist influencer has curdled into years of harassment.

This is why the "there will never be another election" defeatism is so harmful. There WILL be an election, Trump has no control over it, and his attempts to influence its outcome are failing. To declare we'll never have another election is to give up without a fight. That's the only way they win.
Everyone dooming about 2026 is wrong.

Authoritarianism isn’t consolidated. Republicans can’t rig the midterms.
And their efforts to manipulate them may be backfiring.

The triumphalists had a similar over-read of 2024 as the doomerists, and a similar underestimation of the pro-democracy opposition.
Trump's corrupt scheme to rig 2026 is suddenly falling apart:

*Court strikes down Texas GOP gerrymander
*Indiana GOP lacks votes to redraw map
*Big Dem win in Virginia could give Ds more seats
