Russia, Russia, Russia was not a hoax. Trump signed an EO tonight exempting Russia from new sanctions legislation that Congress passed last month. The law was designed to squeeze the financial lifelines sustaining Russia's war against Ukraine. Gift link. 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...

"Gallup reported that 89 percent of Americans now believe corruption is widespread in their government...which puts America at the very bottom of the developed world (out of 38 countries) when it comes to perceived corruption. These are history-making developments, folks."

Perfectly happy to see Zacharia go. But it might be pointed out that if she had stayed, she would have done infinitely less damage to the nation than Hegseth, Kennedy, Blanche, Patel, Vought, et al. They should be as unacceptable as—more unacceptable than—Zacharia.

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence. In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home. (Published Dec. 2025)

That’s why ousting him before he has a chance to pardon people seems important. Impeach and remove. But it won’t happen.

Not all white people are corrupt but I think it’s safe to say that whiteness itself is thoroughly corrupt. If that makes any sense.

Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years. It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress.

The lawsuit states the employees were dismissed without cause because of their work on the case and that the firings were politically motivated. Federal law enforcement employees should be able to follow the evidence without fear of political retaliation.

Paolo Zampolli, a close friend of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell who introduced Melania to Trump, was just fired as a special envoy to the State Department. The official explanation? A months-long email feud and accusations of leaking information about Melania. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

One of the hardest things I've had to come to terms with is that there really is no punishment for being a terrible person, as long as being terrible leads to professional success. We simply aren't coordinated enough to sanction them. Got to be good just for the fun of it.
