Donald Trump addressing Hispanic people and making a "you people could survive a great fall because you've had practice illegally climbing over my border wall" joke. He's smart, aware, and sensitive that way.

I’ve been thinking quite a bit about my experiences with being trashed in the media, and I think it’s interesting that the scientists who believed the bad press about me never noticed that the only colleagues who said bad things about me were men And they didn’t question why that was

Journalists should have supported the women he had bullied earlier. They should not have dignified this circus for as long as they have. It would be a huge statement to align & not cover the WH. It will drive him crazy as inde journos continue covering him. “MAP” = Media Alignment Protest.

Donald Trump is again violating the First Amendment. Perhaps this can be noted during the White House Correspondents Association's next black tie dinner honoring Donald Trump. Support independent media that stands to the felon rather than eating with him.

I know this won’t happen, but the entire WH press corps should walk out. Trump craves attention and is obsessed with his coverage. Not covering his Oval Office Lie Sessions would hurt him more than just about anything.

I have a cousin who was constantly putting me on game with ways that I could get out of my J-O-B and not do all that “smart shit cuz.” I finally explained to them that I LIKE all the smart shit, did in fact choose to do it for a living, and I am very good at it. They never really believed me.

For those who are new, Joe DiGenova has spent the last 30 years baselessly accusing Democrats of committing crimes. If he is saying publicly the Trump administration pushed him out because he wouldn’t bring cases because there was no evidence, things are really bad.

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

Got 'em: The @thebulwark.com added an editor's note to the review, acknowledging that the author's direct affiliation with the Foundation for American Innovation ("the foundation shaping the tech right," according to Inc.) created a conflict that should have been forthrightly disclosed.
Editor's note from Bulwark: 1
Editor’s note (September 3, 2026, 1:10 p.m. EDT): In a response to this review posted to social media, Gil Durán, author of The Nerd Reich, has highlighted that the reviewer, Jacob Bruggeman, is affiliated with the Foundation for American Innovation (FAI). Durán mentions FAI in his book, once, in a sentence that reads as follows: “This merging of tech and far-right networks—hosted by the Foundation for American Innovation, which Inc. later described as ‘the foundation shaping the tech right’—seemed like a live test of [Balaji] Srinivasan’s theory.” Bruggeman’s affiliation with FAI is an unpaid, nonresident fellowship (in other words, it is not his day job), and while it was mentioned in his byline beneath this review, we should have made a point of additionally disclosing it in a footnote like this.
