www.salon.com/2026/10/02/t... His persistent greed, anger and need for revenge empowered him during his first 100 days back in office in 2025, leading to sweeping, Nazi-esque changes sold to the public by discrediting or co-opting the media.

The only moment I can remember being of real value in the WH press room was when @briankarem.bsky.social asked trump whether he would accept the result of the 2020 election and he basically said no. If I made a movie about American's descent to autocracy it would be the opening sequence.

Here’s one for you from a Texas attendee of the midterm GOP convention: “It was like an extended pep rally for a Texas High School football game with fewer people and less energy.”

From a Texas Republican on the floor of the Mid-term convention after hearing Trump offer a $5000 bribe to every voter if the Republicans keep the House and the Senate in the midterm elections: "The United States of America is dead. It is now the United Kingdom of Trump."

“Never forget that your obligation is to the people. It is not, at heart, to those who pay you, or to your editor, or to your sources, or to your friends, or to the advancement of your career. It is to the public.” Bagdikian told us. It is truly a shame that the Post has forgotten that.

Mitch McConnell won his first Senate race in 1984 largely based on a lie: In two ads produced by Roger Ailes he portrayed Sen. Walter Dee Huddleston as AWOL. Now Mitch is really AWOL. So we re-engineered the ads for Mitch. Here's the first one: youtu.be/ZVt1Oopc45E
