“The Senator was vulgar, almost illiterate, a public liar easily detected, and in his "ideas" almost idiotic, while his celebrated piety was that of a traveling salesman for church furniture, and his yet more celebrated humor the sly cynicism of a country store.” -Sinclair Lewis on #LindseyGraham

“The number 86 can be used as shorthand for getting rid of something, and Trump is the 47th president.” So @theguardian.com postulated in an article about Comey. The origins of this simple terminology come from removing someone from a bar/restaurant/public house for being unruly. If the shoe fits…

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats. Version of original on left, updated on right:
Thank you for your email. There is a temporary shutdown of the U.S. government due to a lapse in appropriations. I will respond to your message as soon as possible after the temporary shutdown ends. Please visit ED.gov for the latest information on the
Department's operational status.
Thank you.Thank you for contacting me. On September 19, 2025, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5371, a clean continuing resolution. Unfortunately, Democrat Senators are blocking passage of H.R. 5371 in the Senate which has led to a lapse in appropriations. Due to the lapse in appropriations I am currently in furlough status. I will respond to emails once government functions resume.

The government has effectively been shut down for months as Trump has destroyed checks and balances, usurped the power of the purse from Congress, and unleashed an authoritarian nightmare throughout the country. Why would any Democrat vote for any continuing resolution that allows this to continue?

A useful introduction to NSPM-7, focused on the threats to non-profits. But it's worth noting that the threat extends beyond them to many other organizations, and to citizens acting together or individually, in ways of which the Trump administration disapproves. www.arnoldporter.com/en/perspecti...

Trump’s new NSPM-7 labels “anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, anti-Christianity,” and even opposition to “traditional views” as red flags for terrorism. That’s not security... it’s criminalizing dissent.

Congressman Khanna, why has this generated so little response, whether from congress or legacy media outlets? The memorandum smacks of a ‘Minority Report’ style domestic crackdown on free speech and association. It goes way beyond “anti-capitalism” and/or “anti-American” views.

Most interesting part of the speech—a familiar MAGA tirade—was the audience reaction. Didn’t hear a single person applaud. Generals and admirals sat silently during this political lecture from a former National Guard captain. The right reaction.

Hegseth's words seem especially chilling in light of his whitewashing of the Wounded Knee Massacre as a heroic "battle" only a few days ago. The message would seem to be that the Trump Administration is willing to forgive any atrocity US troops may commit as an "earnest mistake."

It means we are way beyond just hearing the canary in the coal mine. For those planning an exodus, now might be a good time before we reach a ‘Minority Report’ situation. It’s going to roll in fast and ugly and citizens are not ready. George Carlin was right.

They didn’t vote for Trump to raise wages or expand healthcare or improve the standard of living in this country. They voted for him so that they could dunk on their enemies online. Don’t take my word for it. Take theirs.
