Not surprising. On nights like tonight I can’t help but remember this—which feels like 30 years ago—but was only 8 months ago. Trump to Chief Justice Roberts after a pseudo-state of the union address: “Thank you again, thank you again, won’t forget” with a nice pat on the shoulder. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Excerpt from Landon’s Newsletter “Left Standing”: 

“It's pretty clear that these men were helpless while they cling to their shipwreck, which gave the US exactly one legal obligation: rescue them and put them on trial in a court of law for their crimes.

We murdered them instead.

The Trump administration wants to call this an
"armed conflict" against narco-terrorists. They want to frame it like we're at war. Okay. Even if we accept that—which we certainly don't—even in actual war against actual enemies in an actual declared conflict—you still can't target people who are wounded, shipwrecked, or defenseless.
That's what separates war from extermination.
That's the entire point of the Geneva Conventions.”

The midterms are going to be interesting. I know it’s easy for us to wonder how ppl could vote in favor of the BS happening around us, but it’s SO IMPORTANT that WE remember that WE are the outliers. On 🦋 talking politics. “Normies” aren’t. So a swing like TN7 should inspire you to keep fighting.

It's okay for some campaign promises to be about optics rather than policy. "We're going to bulldoze his monument to himself on Day One and rebuild the East Wing" would be a very good one for 2028.

The worst thing Democratic lawmakers can do to their Republican counterparts is make the lives of Republican voters better. They don’t want their lives to be better. You can’t win elections if the lives of people are getting better and you don’t have anyone to blame for why it sucks.
Reddit post and comment. 

Post: 'Deeply demoralizing': how Trump derailed coal country's clean-energy revival. Biden earmarked billions for former coal communities in Appalachia - and his successor came and took it away

Comment: The people who love here are too stupid to put two and two together. They'll blame Democrats, continue to vote against their better interests and bitch about it. I am so glad I'm leaving in January.

I don't know if these men were drug traffickers. You don't know either. Pete Hegseth sure doesn't know. Neither does Donald Trump. And that's exactly why this matters. Just because they say so, doesn’t make it so. Proof or GTFO.

screenshot of the opening paragraphs of the quote-skeeted article, with the final sentence highlighted. text reads:

When news broke last September about Olivia Nuzzi’s alleged relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., my first instinct—within minutes, actually—was sympathy. I sent her a DM: “You’ll get through this.” She responded with a heart.

(The fact that I’m opening a column about media narcissism with my own DM slide should tell you everything about how far gone we all are. But I promise this is going somewhere.)

I meant it. I’d known Nuzzi professionally for years—never close friends, but friendly enough through the White House Correspondents’ Dinner circuit and occasional professional courtesies. She’d always been generous with contacts and advice. More importantly, she was, without question, one of the best political writers of her generation.meme of Thor squinting and squinching up his face, from the scene in Ragnarok where he asks "Is he though?"

Excerpt from article: Tirrell said he later received a call from the FBI’s general counsel, who told him that Patel—who is currently under fire for his private jet usage—felt like “he should be able to accept more expensive gifts.”

“I reminded [the counsel] that his client was not Mr. Patel, but the United States,” Tirrell said.

Tirrell, who was fired in July, is now one of three career Justice Department officials—described as “exemplary” public servants—who sued Bondi and the U.S. government, alleging they were abruptly and unlawfully fired after working on the Jan. 6 prosecutions.

I don't believe MTG is humble enough to mean what she's been saying on her 'redemption tour.' I do believe she smells smoke in the Republicans house as it pertains to Jeffery Epstein and their need to protect a known pedophile. Where there's smoke, there's fire. open.substack.com/pub/landongo...
Excerpt from OP's Substack: Marjorie Taylor Greene is practicing politics the right way. I’m kidding—obviously.
In fact, Marjorie Taylor Greene is finally getting a taste of the exact kinds of politics she helped normalize.
The woman who was perfectly comfortable with death threats, vicious attacks, and mob-style politics when they were aimed at everyone else is now claiming her life is in danger because Donald Trump called her a traitor. Let’s acknowledge the fact that she's right. Her life probably is in danger. That's what happens when you spend years pouring gasoline on a fire and then suddenly find yourself standing in it.

Feels like we're at the stage where Nixon caved to the pressure and released transcripts of the Oval Office recordings, which turned out to have been heavily edited and misleading. We might be jumping ahead to the 18 1/2 minute erasure, though. But I'm not sure the 1-to-1 comparison really works?
