Rather than play the "what he said/what he meant" game with Trump's comments about LA and San Diego being nuked, let's reckon with the fact that the president is so cognitively impaired and incoherent that we have to discuss comments he made about LA and San Diego being nuked.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Honestly at this point the Democrats should probably be petitioning the networks to carry Trump rallies live.

There are a lot of Trump officials who need to be impeached, but Russell Vought -- the quarterback of all the Project 2025 fuckery and a central player in the administration's overreach -- really needs to be at the top of the list.

Highly-placed government officials are working overtime on a totalitarian takeover of the election to consolidate power for a man who spent last night claiming Iran has dual-use nuclear facilities and drug labs, and who literally does not remember things he talked about an hour ago. Wild stuff.

Someone should tell President Trump that the best way to turn the Iran War around and stick it to the Democrats this fall is to have Pete Hegseth lead an infantry charge that they'll air on live TV.

I'm sorry does this guy think he won 86% of the popular vote?

Why should Americans believe that you respect the free press when you're restricting access to the White House to some of our colleagues?

Because I do respect the free press, but I don't respect fake news. I'll give you an example. CNN and MSDNC, which is MS Now—they changed the name because it does so poorly. But I won the election. I won it handily by massive numbers. I won the popular vote. I won all seven swing states. They said if you won three swing states, I won all seven. I won the counties. It's very important, 86% popular vote. Everything, and very conclusively, I haven't had a good story on CNN for years. They're incapable of being—they're fake news. Same thing on MS NOW.

Michael Tracey is forcing himself back into the news cycle discourse in his own predictably disgusting ways, so here’s a link to the longform biographical episode we put out about him earlier this year with @robertsilverman.bsky.social. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1...

the power play would be to rewrite the whole thing like "my man (born 1972) is an American historian and a professor of history at Princeton University."
