Last week Time released the transcript of a long Trump interview. For some, it revealed a broken brain. It raised the question as to whether Trump can tell the difference between fact and fiction.

Trump’s collapse with indy voters. “This is the center of the electorate completely turning on Trump.” It’s a big, undercovered story. His numbers with independents are just absolutely terrible.

The basis of politics in the Trump regime is sado-populism. Rather than offer policy that benefits Americans, Trump uses the government to hurt some, and offer their pain as a spectacle to everyone else.

Trump’s actions in his second term, including his corrupt profiteering, occupation of American cities with the National Guard, and use of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection as a secret police, meet or exceed the threshold of his first impeachment.

Speak to the central role that misogyny plays within conservatism. Hatred toward women and the promotion of policies meant to make women second-class citizens are not merely on the periphery of right-wing politics—they are a major component of the party’s identity.

The Cornell case is directly linked to Trump administration policies. After Trump took power in 2025, agencies were redirected from investigating and prosecuting sexual assault cases, reflecting the GOP’s disinterest in fighting these crimes and the effect it has on women and society at large.

In Gaza, crammed into tents, deprived of enough food and water, two million Palestinians are still living under the brutal rule of Hamas and the daily threat of death from a military force that fears no consequences. This is our world now. We need to recognise that, if anything is going to change.

And Trump’s fiscal management – his One Big Beautiful Bill Act is estimated to add $4.7 TRILLION to the federal debt through 2035 – is not making the budget math easier. The deficit already hit 6% of GDP – twice the size Bessent once promised.

From the Gipper’s day on, the Republicans’ tax cuts inevitably increased the budget deficit. Despite its failure, though, the promise is back, coated in a fine new layer of artificial intelligence pixie dust. It will fail again.

Back through political history to the age of Ronald Reagan, Republicans have repeatedly promised the US public that tax cuts would pay for themselves, firing up economic growth and filling the government’s coffers. The promise never really panned out. Lies, all lies.
