You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$.

I genuinely think the “no NEW wars” thing from Trump 1.0 was amazingly successful spin. He literally made every conflict in the world worse. He was never anti-war for even one second.

I don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.

National Science Foundation Diverted $1.4 Billion in Science Funds Mandated by Congress (Gift Article)

The move, affecting about one-fifth of the National Science Foundation’s primary research budget, is the latest sign of how the White House is asserting more control over grants.

All these attacks on trans people are Nazi bs. The people making them don’t even believe them. It’s all opportunism to push fascism, an easy smokescreen for misogyny to hide how the biggest threat to women and kids are men, and specifically men they know. Anyone buying into it should be ashamed.

If it wasn't already crystal clear that Russell Vought should be impeached as well, it is now. (www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/u...)

Mr. Trump was eager to see the laudatory ads on the air and told Russell T. Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, to come up with the money from within the government, the people said. Mark Paoletta, the budget office’s counsel, and Will Scharf, the White House counsel, both said it would be legal to use D.H.S. funds. The president and Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, both spoke with Markwayne Mullin, the homeland security secretary, about the ads.
