Trump’s Illegal Campaign Ads Are an Admission of Defeat
Even as the administration pummels the airwaves with slopaganda, Republicans are panicking about the president’s drag on their electoral ambitions.

Grace is extremely deft at putting flesh and blood into stories of politics and policy, finding the people who both come out ahead and who get hammered. It's a rare gift and I'll miss editing her stories terribly. Oh and do you like details? Because Grace can marshal the shit out of some details.

For @newrepublic.com, @drboguslaw.bsky.social asked every Democratic governor if they’d allow state police to work with the FBI on the Trump administration’s free speech restrictions (NSPM-7 and the like). Most didn’t respond, and the ones that did praised the FBI. newrepublic.com/article/2159...

Blue-State Governors Are Rolling Over for Trump’s FBI
We asked Democratic leaders what they’re doing to prevent the president’s Orwellian attacks on political speech. Their answers were not heartening.

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...
The chief justice used to preside over a Supreme Court whose members were afforded more privacy and freedom than many other public officials. Once, years ago, Mr. Lipson and the chief justice found themselves up the peninsula from Port Clyde without a car, Mr. Lipson recalled in an interview. So he stuck out his thumb by the side of the road and a pickup truck pulled over. He and the nation’s top jurist hopped in the back and hitchhiked back to town.

Now, Mr. Lipson said, he is cautious about introducing his friend to strangers. This year, on an outing to nearby Monhegan Island, people recognized the chief justice as he walked by a brewery and started to chant: You should be ashamed.

MAGA Media Is Trying to Spin Senator's Brutal Gaffe Into a Win
MAGA media is covering Eric Schmitt's gaffe during a hearing with Jack Smith as a win, claiming he caught the former special counsel in a lie.

I’ve been wondering whether this was less about the shock of watching Schmitt get pantsed than it was about realizing that you’re the next Republican questioner, and your script was based on following up this accusation, and now you have nothing.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

it's odd that some people are hopping mad about this; no doubt they also think that Arnold's endorsement of Harris was a demerit against her www.npr.org/2024/10/31/n...

A political media following the better angels of their natures would probably cover Harp in a less prurient fashion. We now have more proof that those angels are non-existent, and it's time to adapt to what's real.

Jason Linkins @dceiver.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
One thing I've been banging on about is the whole idea of what is the political media's "level of the room." Many people think it is (or should be) high minded, infused with civic responsibility. But it's not: It's actually cynical, sleazy, enamored of conflict and cheap shots.
110
Jason Linkins @dceiver.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
But I think the main driver of the mainstream coverage wasn't that at all, it was "prurient interest in the young blonde work wife supplanting Melania." And that creates a different set of news vectors.
150
Jason Linkins @dceiver.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Also, while I think Harp got a lot of coverage I don't think a ton of it was actually centered on the whole "influence on our octogenarian narcoleptic" president. Certainly some was, and it maybe sticks in our minds because that's what occurred to us.

I genuinely wonder if that story ever broke containment. My wife is very offline and did not know who Harp was when we watched the SNL cold open. By contrast, the Last Ditch saga broke out widely. This is an information environment with a lot of tricks and traps.
