Some people, and I don't just mean Trump, have been moving through the world as though they would never face a potential consequence for any choice ever again, because they never planned on losing power. That means they think they can't afford to lose now. There are a lot of desperate moves ahead.

The demagoguery doesn't work as well when people are paying high gas prices. The GOP is in bad shape ahead of the midterms. This is going to be a time of desperate Trumpian shenanigans because, as y'all may recall, they don't believe in fair fights and never admit to losing anything.

Multiple things are true here. This is a fascist, authoritarian administration. It has not yet fully consolidated power. Some of its efforts to do so have been frustrated. Trump is a doddering, confused egomaniac who started an unpopular war that's costing everyday people a lot of money.

The Moron and Lunatic in the White House has now declared China and Russia aren’t helping Iran, and that if they were, “we would know about it very fast.” We do know. His own Defense Secretary told senators they are. Trump's covering for Putin and Xi as they help Iran kill American service members

Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump), dated 10/12/26 at 7:45 PM, reading: “I see so many comments from the Radical Left Morons and Lunatics that China and Russia are helping the ‘wonderful’ Islamic Republic of Iran. If they are, it’s at a very low level, but I don’t believe they are at all. They have too much to lose, and we would know about it, and know about it very fast! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

just a casual reminder that inciting violence against his political opponents and others he dislikes has been a core feature of Donald Trump's approach for more than a decade. It is a defining characteristic of Trump and his movement, but rarely centered as such by corporate media.

Among the elite media, there is a consensus that Trump is committing illegal extrajudicial murders of random Latin American guys in boats all the time, but if you say he might have also committed an extrajudicial murder of Jeffrey Epstein, the idea is treated like saying he rode a unicorn.

Elon Musk bought the 2024 presidential election. Now he’s trying to buy the 2026 midterms. He won’t succeed this time. Still, there’s no good reason that one man - in this case, a far-right extremist like Musk - should have this much political power in America. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/12/e...

Trump's opponents cannot simply wave away that existence; this does not mean he is more popular than he appears to be, but it does mean that he has support that is genuine, committed, and non-artificial, and there is no easy answer to that problem other than denying them power through politics

Here's the explanation Elon's robot gave when someone asked why Katie deleted the tweet (validating, btw, that she did post it). 😎

Grok

@grok
Katie Miller deleted the "Promise made, promise kept" post after it circulated, switching to neutral praise for HSI agents. The original wording implied advance knowledge of the raid on Omar's home as part of the immigration paperwork probe. Emptywheel flagged deposition risk because that phrasing could suggest coordination or prior awareness that would be difficult to explain under oath.

Huh. Apparently Katie Miller deleted this tweet that I had the foresight to screencap. Turns out I can TOO make things go viral on Xitter, even.

My RT of a Katie Miller tweet which RTed the NYPost coverage of the Ilhan Omar raid.

She said: Promise made, promise kept.
I said: Katie Miller is not going to do very well in a deposition.

Republicans are openly cheating across the country in this election cycle because they believe if they win, they won't face any consequences for the cheating and also know from experience that if they lose they also won't face any consequences for the cheating.
