Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

Always remember, it's not just Trump. This is Public Enemy No. 2: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/o...
Linda Greenhouse
By Linda Greenhouse

Ms. Greenhouse, the recipient of a 1998 Pulitzer Prize, reported on the Supreme Court for The Times from 1978 to 2008.

Chief Justice John Roberts has accomplished so much of his agenda that it’s not easy, as he begins his 22nd Supreme Court term, to think of what unfinished business might remain.

Affirmative action is dead. Roe v. Wade is a fading memory. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is in shreds, rendered incapable of serving its original mission of preventing states from undermining the political power of minority citizens. The executive branch agencies known collectively as the administrative state have lost their independence, with the president now able to fire nearly all agency heads for any reason or no reason at all. Federal judges are no longer to defer to an agency’s interpretation of its own authority, instead being told to decide for themselves the validity of agency regulations. Historical claims that fly under the banner of “originalism” have frozen the government’s ability to regulate the ownership of lethal weapons.

These are not economic experts. They’re propaganda pushers masquerading as politicians. Their job is to lie to the public long enough for Trump and anyone else he’s indebted to - to steal as much as they can for as long as they can from the American people.

On his podcast, @gregsargent.bsky.social and I talked about how Dems have to tie Trump to the tech oligarchs – not just to help in the midterms, but to make those oligarchs toxic for Vance in 2028 and to offset their millions and millions of donations. (Source: newrepublic.com/article/2154...
So I think the earlier you can tie this to Trump, and the earlier you can make the AI industry—these tech oligarchs—politically toxic, or even more politically toxic, it helps you in the long term. Not just against Trump this year, not just in 2028 against someone like Vance, who is very closely tied to these oligarchs, but even in the long run, where you have an incredibly wealthy industry that otherwise can mobilize that money against you for years to come. And you have to disarm that now.

Sargent: Such an important point that you raised there. When they run against JD Vance in 2028, they will be much better off if right now they establish themselves as the party of sensible regulations. James Downie, great to talk to you, man. Thanks for coming on.

VERY interesting development here. Widespread reporting said the Burke Law Group got a $150 million contract to rep migrant kids. Now they say in a statement that the Trump admin approached them, they were only considering applying for a small grant, no application was submitted, and now they won't.

Statement on false reporting of an ORR contract with Burke Law Group

Underneath is the following:  We appreciate ORR's confidence in Burke Law Group's ability to consider the possibility of overseeing a network of highly qualified immigration experts to serve the best interests of unaccompanied minors in a humanitarian crisis. We were approached by the Trump administration to fill a gap in legal services and we were considering how we might help.
Certain outlets misreported from the start that we had a received a $150 million contract when we were in fact only considering applying for a small portion of that amount under a grant to help address the humanitarian crisis. We have decided not to apply for a grant or a contract and we withdrew from consideration.
