The quid pro quo presidency, where law and order is just another weapon for settling Trump’s personal scores.

So if a man in NY gets drunk and I steal his wallet, because he was voluntarily intoxicated does that mean no crime was committed? Of course it doesn’t and it’s the same thing with Jane Doe at Cornell Getting intoxicated doesn’t mean you consent to rape, or theft #IStandWithJaneDoe

A $250,000 donation to a pro-Ken Paxton super PAC came from a businessman whose dad got pardoned by Trump — and who used a fake name and rented mailbox on the donation record.

Who was behind a $250K mystery donation to super PAC backing Ken Paxton?

The Texas Senate hopeful has ties to the donor’s family going back decades.

And so it continues... Our economic debates seem utterly disconnected from the reality. That reality: This is an economy mostly creating healthcare jobs, and it does so month after month, and everything else is just noise.

Line chart titled "Effectively all of the net job creation has been in healthcare and social assistance, and jobs are shrinking in the rest of the economy" showing change in non-farm payrolls since January 2025 through September 2026. Healthcare and social assistance added 998,000 jobs with consistent growth throughout the period, while the rest of the economy lost 222,000 jobs, meaning all net job creation came from healthcare. The rest of the economy showed particular weakness from May through August 2025 when losses reached 218,000 jobs. This striking divergence reveals an unusual concentration where one sector's growth of roughly 48,000 jobs per month has offset persistent contraction across all other industries combined.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

Again, much of Pete Hegseth’s deal is the only skill his job demanded for a long time was keeping a trim figure to be conventionally pretty for stay-at-home moms watching daytime tv. His job was “be pretty,” but he knows that’s a girl job, so he’s deeply insecure and is trying to make it a boy job.

After Trump used taxpayer money to air one of his literal campaign ads, FCC Chair Brendan Carr shrugged off the scandal, saying the propaganda was just a “normal PSA.” It’s ridiculous to the point of being insulting. It’s as if these guys think Americans are idiots. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
