Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 8hGonna reread Stephen King/Peter Straub's 'The Talisman' and 'Black House' this weekend in preparation for the new 'Other Worlds Than These,' which comes out on Tuesday. 140
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 30/09/2026The new AI chatbot unveiled by the Trump administration today at least has this going for it: It's not (yet) as dishonest as Trump or as grovelingly coy as his nominees. www.thebulwark.com/i/218013966/... 1131
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 28/09/2026"These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence." –@michaeldweiss.bsky.social 14548164
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 25/09/2026I've been thinking about this photo all day. Considering how the Trump administration is constantly ranting about Communists, and how Pete Hegseth is always nattering on about our WARFIGHTERS, it's genuinely crazy to me that this image exists. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-kowt... 25586218
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 24/09/2026P.S. – If you can read music and want to follow along, see below. (Singers might like this one for some easy sight-reading practice: See if you can nail all the intervals.) 010
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 24/09/2026Jim DeFede of CBS News Miami flagged this over on the other site. @jimdefede.bsky.social x.com/DeFede/statu... 725456
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 24/09/2026What the actual fuck. Trump apparently used U.S. government money to air this gross propaganda ad on Fox News tonight. This version he posted on Truth Social a couple of weeks ago; when it aired on Fox News tonight it said "Paid for by the U.S. Government" underneath. 46458156
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 20/09/2026For years, I've heard people say "Trump is a branding genius." Um, okay, sure. 7221
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 20/09/2026Happy 99th birthday to actress Rosemary Harris. She originated several roles—incl. Eleanor of Aquitaine in 'The Lion in Winter' on stage—and her career was a half-century old by the time she played Aunt May in the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies. (I loved her in Tom Stoppard's 'Indian Ink' in 2014.) 3408
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 18/09/2026I just found out that some relatives of mine are going to the Riot Fest music festival in Chicago, and I looked at the lineup and it's pretty impressive (and very Gen X tilted)... and then I noticed this at the bottom. lol... 0142
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 16/09/2026tfw you're so unpopular that people are disgusted by your attempt to bribe them 343007516
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 16/09/2026A smear job that tries to discredit the people calling for caution on AI by hyping their links to Sam Bankman-Fried. It relies on fallacious arguments, unsupported claims, convenient conflations, and rhetoric that sometimes turns reality on its head. www.thefp.com/p/dangerous-... 1187
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 15/09/2026lol, my 7-year-old daughter was helping me put food on the table for dinner, and she kept pausing to make it look artistic on her siblings' plates—while on her own plate she created a wedding tableau, with her gummy-bear vitamins playing the part of the happy couple 3211
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 13/09/2026I just started reading an article that promised to explain why Google Maps doesn't seem to work as well as it used to, and in the second paragraph its attempt to explain how GPS works was so spectacularly wrong that I had to stop reading. 3270
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 11/09/2026Interesting: The CIA has today published a tranche of PDBs (President's Daily Briefs) touching on al Qaida that were given to Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush between 1998 and 2001. www.cia.gov/stories/stor... 2124
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 10/09/2026A U.S. senator out there just reposting outright lies. But it's Mike Lee, so it's not surprising at this point. 71620103
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 04/09/2026Beautiful blue-tailed skink* spotted this afternoon while I was out biking with my kids. 5641
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 03/09/2026(1) 🤮 (2) A "Military Observation Deck"? Huh? Seems to be a newly tacked-on idea. Was it added just to provide a national-security rationale—à la the ballroom having a bunker, which helped Trump in lawsuits against the ballroom? (3) The traffic is going to be awful, ugh. (4) TEAR IT DOWN 2029. 3111424
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 03/09/2026Maria Bartiromo has been fired by Fox. She should have been fired years ago. Never forget how she propped up Trump's Big Lie about the 2020 election, for which Fox paid a historic $787 million settlement—the largest publicly disclosed defamation settlement involving an American media company. 912629
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 02/09/2026On the same day he becomes the first president to put his own face solo on U.S. currency, Trump posts this: 5918650
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 02/09/2026Offensive. Today, for the first time in the country's history, there is U.S. currency with the sitting president depicted solo. 4818847
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 01/09/2026What a bizarre way to conduct a war. "If the failed Nation of Iran retaliates for this very justified attack, they will be hit again at a much harder and higher level, but it will not be the biggest attack of them all, that is waiting in the wings...." 4231
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 01/09/2026Vice President JD Vance apparently has no idea what the phrase "blood libel," in the context of antisemitism, means: 85111
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 26/08/2026Alamo Drafthouse is doing a cool thing next month: To mark the 60th anniversary of the first broadcast of 'Star Trek,' they're showing some of the original cast's movies paired with suitably related episodes from the original series. (Plus, showing movies II, III, and IV in one go.) 1142
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 24/08/2026I did not notice until just now that the helipad that Trump is having built at the White House is a GIGANTIC version of the seal of the president. So ugly. www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-... 5406
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 20/08/2026It's amazing how much Jon Ossoff's remark about Trump and Natalie Harp broke MAGA's brain—even though, as JVL points out below, Ossoff *never actually said Trump and Harp were having an affair*. 2196
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 19/08/2026Screenshot of the disclaimer from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's streaming show. Notice that while it says "no taxpayer dollars were spent for the participation of Secretary Duffy's family" it can't say the same about dollars coming from major corporations Duffy regulates. 32212
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 14/08/2026"New Yorkers are horrified by the actions of ICE. These are actions that are ripping apart the very fabric of communities across the city and the state. There are neighborhoods today where you can feel the absence of those who do not feel as if they can leave their homes any longer." —@mayor.nyc.gov 540487
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 12/08/2026Trump says he wants to break up the MMR vaccine into three separate vaccines. But did you know that there's no U.S. company that makes them separately? I learned that here: 73313
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 11/08/2026I missed this detail from yesterday: Todd Blanche was sworn in as attorney general by Emil Bove, the federal judge who two years ago was in the trenches with Blanche as a fellow Trump personal defense attorney. 53911
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 09/08/2026Bahaha, somebody posted this on Reddit a couple of weeks ago asking if it was AI-generated, and it's so atrocious I had to share it with you. LOOK CLOSELY AT HIS LEGS, hahahaha. 13453
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 08/08/2026Trump has done something Russia and China could not have done on their own: persuaded America's allies to prepare for a world without dependable American leadership. 03312
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 07/08/2026One of the things I love about the Bulwark website—both the old version and our new redesign—is how it's not cluttered with the kinds of ads and popups that make other publications' websites ugly and difficult to read, and even can make your browser crawl or crash. It's not *this*, in other words: 3152
Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 05/08/2026I'm rankled by public officials who mock people's appearances. It's especially odd to see JD Vance mocking anybody because of their weight. (A friend puts it this way: "JD pulling the GLP ladder up behind him.") 3221

Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 01/08/2026A big part of why Donald Trump hates the Smithsonian: It is committed to truthfully telling stories he would rather not have told. 2259
