Any bad advice Trump is getting is either because he hires idiots or he punished people who tell the truth. Either way, Trump’s at fault

One good thing about being on medical leave is that it lets me feature some of my favorite writers and activists. Today we have a guest post from, @lolgop.bsky.social, written for CARD, about one of my favorite topics: bitter divorced billionaires and their far more sane exes. Enjoy!

Note how in all of this, Vance's comments are suffused with the rhetoric of 1930s Nazi eugenics, including the "elite human being" (in German, Herrenmensch or Übermensch). Straight from Curtis Yarvin, and Elon Musk, by the way. bsky.app/profile/atru...

If protesting didn't work, would those in power be doing everything they can right now to vilify protestors and crack down on free speech? Activist and author Annie Leonard offers an important history lesson on why protest is so important — and why it's needed now more than ever.

In the Broadview 6 case, DOJ has filed an apparently sealed request to release grand jury material. Judge Perry was like, "Sure, but you already did that." I have noted that the existing transcript does not match known events.
MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: The Government's request to disclose grand jury materials 272 is granted. That said, the Court notes that the 10/9, 10/16, and 10/23 Grand Jury transcripts - in both redacted and almost entirely unredacted form - are already on the public docket. See Doc. 129-1; 129-2; 229-1; 219; 220; 221. Mailed notice. (jcc,) (Entered: 10/08/2026)

25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

When's the last time a Trump rally was interrupted by protesters this many times? And for it to happen in red Texas right before an election, no less. I wonder if fed up Americans will take this as a challenge to similarly interrupt the rest of his rallies over the next month.
