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

Great PN: “That spirit of lawlessness has infected the federal government at all levels, & correcting it must be a key component of the rebuilding effort Dems undertake the next time they control the govt…There must be consequences for those who participated in the abuses…extending to prosecutions…”

I think a lot about Biden/Garland keeping David Weiss on as US Attorney, because they didn't want to meddle with the Hunter probe. And then Garland elevating Weiss to special counsel so he could convict Hunter. And this having ZERO IMPACT on the GOP certainty that Biden was rigging the DOJ

“How wrong he was back then, insisting that Gore & Bush weren’t very different, and that if Bush won, he’d curry favor with ‘liberal constituencies’ bc ‘he’s a conflict-avoidance guy.’” Nader also screwed the planet mightily; Gore would’ve addressed global warming with urgency.

It ALMOST feels like we’re just starting to reach the normies with “the federal government and Silicon Valley have joined forces to spy on every aspect of your life and it’s called Palantir” and it’s either going to be the turning point for radical privacy or cripple the concept forever.

“Last week’s settlement…is part of several under-the-radar trends of recent decades: misclassification of workers as independent contractors, high rates of wage theft, starved enforcement agencies & an upsurge of action in some cities & states.” Insist reps do something for workers, not just talk.

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."

Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

Gotta say it’s disturbing how many people are sharing the Trump 2026/28 presidential campaign ad. Yes, it’s ludicrous. It may be somewhat helpful to know it exists, but sharing it (even while dunking on it) is exactly what they hoped for. Please share progressive ads instead!! Promote OUR narrative.

Trump is doing his best to weaken and undermine higher education, an area in which the United States has been a global leader since World War II, with economic and other benefits that extend far beyond the students, staff, and faculty at universities.

If a politician takes money from weapons manufacturers, don't be surprised when they back weapons contracts. If a politician takes money from Big Pharma, don't be surprised when they try to stop guaranteed healthcare. That's why I don't take ANY corporate money. None.

Did not think I would -- or my children would -- ever hear an American leader go to the United Nations and muse aloud on whether or not to annihiliate another country. But then, I didn't think I would hear and see so many things over the last decade. We will never remove the stain.

Sharing to keep close to mind the rage this petty, unloved, never respected tyrant fosters, destroying what is beautiful and unique on our earth to be replaced w/gold-embossed tributes to himself & his henchmen. Not the most important acts of destruction he’s responsible for, but the most visceral.

Our students don’t deserve this. For those who don’t understand UT Austin admissions, most undergrads get in bc they were top 5% of their graduating class, from a Texas high school. Anyone calling for more white students is advocating for race conscious admissions - to help out white students.
