Washington takes a concrete and reckless step toward World War III. This decision undermines American interests and may go down as one of the gravest mistakes in American foreign policy, emboldening the aggressor to wage more war!

The Lindsey Graham Act would have imposed significant new sanctions on Russia from 18 October, but allowed the President to issue waivers. He just did. To avoid screaming, I went through every provision explaining them and indicating which he waived. Spoiler: All the ones that did anything.

Billionaires didn’t prop up Trump for just a few years of fat contracts and get out jail free cards. Until they are put in check, their oligopolies broken up, their hold over state and federal governments shattered, our national nightmare will continue. Be single-minded in this pursuit.

More of these pieces are definitely a good thing, but "painted himself" is still too kind. He *sold* himself as an institutionalist, and too many in our incredibly credulous media were too deeply invested in buying what he was selling to interrogate it.

It’s almost like they did not mean it when they said they would go after criminals only. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/u...
Federal agents appeared in nearly every corner of daily life, carrying out operations at hospitals and airports, outside suburban schools and along rural construction sites and truck stops. They fanned out from coastal cities in Maine to desert towns in Arizona, across the open plains of Wyoming and down through the southern borderlands.

In Republican-led states like Texas and Florida, where the swell was strongest, they amplified their reach through partnerships with sheriffs and state highway patrol officers. In Democratic strongholds, they intensified their activities despite laws meant to restrict them.

I usually attribute Trump's bizarre ramblings to either his psychopathic lying or his psychotic delusions, or some combination of the two. But this is just him being an economically illiterate moron.
President Trump Explains Trade Deficits:

“If we buy 2 billion dollars worth of Bananas from Brazil, we’re actually losing 2 billion dollars.  So if we stop eating bananas, we actually save 2 billion dollars”. 

It’s just simple Economics.
