In 2019, Trump was forced to cancel plans to hold the G7 at his own golf club amid GOP objections to self dealing. In 2026, he will hold the G20 at his own golf club and the critics have gone silent. How Trump has moved the ethical line in his second term. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/04/u...

How Trump Moved Ethical Lines With His Ads, Businesses and Summits
The president’s decision to hold an international summit at his own private golf club, an idea rejected in his first term, illustrates how much he has shattered norms.

PSA: The Trump administration changed the form used to register and request absentee ballots, removing the checkbox for US citizens who have never lived in the US(even though some are eligible to vote under state law). The change could block eligible voters and was made without proper public notice.

For people unfamiliar with this list of schools Hegseth claims are essential to America's defense, Liberty and Hillsdale are small religious colleges. Hillsdale is the pet project of the DeVos/Prince families, and its whole admin helped Trump with his fake elector scheme, organizing MI electors. 1/

Lol. America’s “super intelligence” is fun. The answers seem to depend on how you ask the question. 😂 Ask, “Is Trump in the Epstein files?” Get nothing. Ask, “How many times is Trump mentioned in the Epstein files?”

The chaos of the Trump admin is a smokescreen obscuring that gains his religious-right backers are making. They were clear on their goals: kill Roe v Wade, ban abortion and birth control. Public money for private religious schools, and a national "patriotic curriculum". And roll back gay rights. 2/

Like everything else Trump “fixes,” the reflecting pool (along with the war in Iran, gas prices, beef prices, and mortgage rates) is in exponentially worse shape than when he started.

Trump officially rolled back fuel efficiency standards today. The new target for 2031 is about 34.5 miles per gallon, down from 50.4. That means more gas burned, more pollution, and more money out of drivers’ pockets. So much for making things affordable.

People have been laughing at Trump for 10 years, saying he doesn't really mean what he says. And now look what's happened to America. Journalists have still, after a decade, not learned how to take Trump seriously. Ask what he has been hearing around him that put these ideas into his head.

I'm convinced that this is just a big a reason for the tariffs as any (misplaced) economic claims: Tariffs give Trump discretionary power, and he likes being the sort of guy who can use govt power on a whim to impress people (in this case), or in return for other favors.

Since people are joking about a charisma-free Cruz v. Vance presidential race, a reminder: both men owe their political careers to Peter Thiel. Is it a bizarre coincidence that the two GOP frontrunners are 2 of Thiel's 4 main political proteges? It is not. Peter plans ahead. Either way he wins. 1/

Read this post: some of our STEM PhD programs have seen a 90% decline in enrollment. 90%. Empty labs, an apocalypse for science. When the Dark Ages swallowed Medieval Europe, they could blame the Plague. We did this to ourselves. Speak up: the only hope is public outcry and a Blue Wave midterm.

As Trump fires up the bulldozers to plow through our National Monuments, realize: he wants to hurt people, to destroy what other people love. What he can't put his name on. What is bigger than him. Destruction is the goal. People need to put their bodies on the line for this. Not online. Outside. 1/

Every president needs advisors who can give them candid advice. When you start to think you have all the answers, that’s how you end up paying $300 billion dollars and siding with Hezbollah to end a war you started.
