The Shallow State @ourshallowstate.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Anyone who reads Time's recent interview with Trump would clearly conclude that the biggest story on Earth, this day and every day, is that the President of the United States is seriously unwell and allowed to continue in office - unfit, untethered, and unchecked. Unbelievable.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

after the indy car race today, that's pretty much a wrap for the commemoration of america's 250th. if it's all felt a little underwhelming, don't forget that there was supposed to be a lot more celebrating all across the country, but trump cut funding for all of it: www.notus.org/agencies/dog...

Then Trump redirected the money for his own beautification projects.

Trump voted by mail in Florida's Republican primary, according to local voting records — even as he continues to rail against mail-in voting with lies of fraud.

Voting records from Palm Beach County show the president requested his ballot in late July and it was returned on Aug. 13.

The face of the GOP is Max Miller. The message of the GOP, per John Cornyn, is: “There’s nothing we can do to rein in the president.” The rationalization of the GOP, per Bill Cassidy, is: "He'd only appoint someone worse." The mantra of the GOP, is: money, corruption, pardon.

I don’t agree with all Abdul El-Sayed’s views, but GOP “othering” is a disgrace. He was born in US, educated at Bloomfield Hills Andover, where he captained football team; Univ of Mich; Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar; Columbia, where he earned an MD. Debate his views, not whether he’s a “real” American.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on - if your position is that the president of the United States and his family should be immune from IRS scrutiny, you’re unqualified to be the Attorney General. It’s an indictment on our entire system that 50 GOP Senators don’t agree.
