listen to this story Trump tells about getting Macron on the line and demanding he triple drug prices in France, while keeping in mind that he's made up this entire thing (note that Trump also claims partial credit for the riots in France)

Graydon Carter’s memoir says he wrote an unflattering piece about how vulgar Trump is for GQ. Thin-skinned Donald got employees to buy all the copies. Si Newhouse, noting the brisk sales, recommend that Random House publish “The Art of the Deal,” which led to “The Apprentice.” Hence this presidency.

I cannot emphasize enough how much damage Megyn Kelly has done to women everywhere. Us normal humans are concerned Jane Doe may harm herself. Megyn Kelly thinks being a famous alleged rape victim —with every mouthbreather on Twitter trying to dox and hurt you — is a life highlight.

Phew guys, we're in safe hands. 🙄 After reports from Russia’s Irkutsk region revealed a potential public health crisis, Donald Trump gave his thoughts on a seeming outbreak of the rare and often deadly pneumonic plague. Given his handling of COVID, some fear his approach to public health concerns.

What a lie. Some of these people are being imprisoned indefinitely in squalid condition in African prisons. Others report being beaten and arbitrarily deported in violation of international law back to their home countries, where they face persecution or torture.

The indefinite nature of their confinement has taken a severe toll. In October 2025, a Cuban man who was on the July flight went on a hunger strike for a month-until he started showing signs of organ failure —to protest the conditions of his detention, including his ongoing confinement and lack of access to legal counsel.
Terrified of being imprisoned in Eswatini forever, another man repeatedly told his attorney that the prison there never lets people go. One man told his attorney that he feels like a caged animal with no end in sight. The prison does not have air conditioning, making the hot, humid summer months especially uncomfortable for the men.
Food is insufficient, medication is scarce, and requests often go unmet or are belatedly met.

From Carl Quintanilla BTIG: “$SOX continues to track extremely close to the boom/bust cycle of the 2000 peak. It’s quite striking.. This would imply we are about at the peak of this counter-trend rally and embarking on a slower, drawn-out decline over the next several months.”

Do note that the NYT push alert tonight is not six *new* hospitals ending gender-affirming medical care for minors. It is the cumulative six since mid-May, the most recent two of which DOJ announced — and I covered at Law Dork — last Friday.

As Trump loses ground and lashes out, some remain willing to capitulate when it comes to anti-trans hate

More alarming settlements from medical providers in states that have laws aimed at stopping anti-trans discrimination. On Friday, it was NYU Langone and UPMC.

Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem

A spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

All of this is anti-democracy. Every single aspect of this situation.

Haji Zada was removed from the U.S. on August 25, and DOJ told the court the next day.

More than two weeks later, with none of the constitutional or other questions about the Alien Terrorist Removal Court having been litigated and no real justification ever having been given for why it even needed to use the secretive court, DOJ decided the public could know it had used the ATRC to remove someone from the U.S.

And DOJ timed the release of that information for Friday, September 11, 2026.
