TIME: You said you might annihilate Iran TRUMP: Yeah, I would do that. It's possible. TIME: How can the president of peace be calling for annihilation of an entire people? TRUMP: Bc by annihilating Iran, we've created peace in the world. With Iran, I don't think you could ever have peace.

"What is becoming increasingly clear is that the administration does not see itself as a litigant before the court and does not see its attorneys as bound by court orders. It sees DOJ attorneys as somehow coequal with SCOTUS, the only attorneys in the federal system not bound by ethical rules."

Lower cognitive ability is linked to stronger Christian nationalist views, even after accounting for education
A recent study indicates that Americans with lower cognitive ability scores tend to be more likely to embrace Christian nationalism. The findings suggest the ideology’s appeal is linked to underlying cognitive resources rather than just educational differences.

"Had law enforcement and prosecutors engaged more thoroughly with Jane Doe’s original complaint, they might have tempered the vigilantism that would eventually tinge much of the response to the case." This is such a critical point (made by Jessica Winter via @newyorker.com)—and a lesson for others.

My favorite way to annoy Confederate sympathizers: telling them that Lincoln would have almost certainly won a free election in 1860 in South Carolina where he was on the ballot and then waiting to see how long it takes them to get it.

The recent arrest of Clavicular on rape charges shows that misogynist beliefs become misogynist actions. This *should* be obvious, but in the world of "cancel culture" hysteria, it's not. Unsurprisingly, MAGA is painting him as the real victim. www.salon.com/2026/09/25/c...

Fascism rarely introduces itself as tyranny. It arrives wrapped in fear, grievance, nostalgia, and promises of national restoration. Learn the language before the warning signs become the law. Democracy survives when people recognize the playbook—and resist it. #Resist

political cartoon by Mike Stanfill (ragingpencils.com)
The image shows a four-panel political cartoon by Mike Stanfill (ragingpencils.com) mocking commemorative, simulated-gold-plated novelty items.

Comic Breakdown
Panel 1: A man wearing a MAGA hat asks a bank teller for "Trump dollar coins." The teller says banks do not carry them.

Panel 2: Outside the bank, the teller tells him that only the U.S. Mint has them and they cost $2.40 each.

Panel 3: The man assumes they are gold-plated, but the teller corrects him, listing base metals like zinc, magnesium, nickel, and copper with "no gold."

Panel 4: When the man asks what they are for, the teller compares them to items collected by enthusiasts of Nazi memorabilia.

As with the mail-in ballot case, so in the ballroom case, SCOTUS includes a whopper in the opening line. Today: "In October 2025, the federal government started a project to replace the East Wing of the White House." "The federal government?" More like "the rogue president who thinks he's a king."

It's like a parody, but it's deadly serious; the Commerce Department (which includes Census, NOAA, and others) has outright deleted "don't alter or suppress scientific findings for political reasons" from its scientific integrity rules. Seriously.
Protecting against "inappropriate influence" is no longer a "hallmark" of scientific integrity

The Commerce Department updated its policy for promoting a "culture of scientific integrity" in January 2025, days before Trump's second inauguration.

A new Trump administration order bans the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Economic Analysis from using statistical “noise,” or data for fuzzing survey results, to protect people’s privacy in their statistics.

The 2025 version included bans on attempts to shape or interfere in data collection, statistical analysis and other scientific activities "against well-accepted scientific methods and theories or without scientific justification."

The department's policy, the 2025 version said, involves ensuring scientific findings at its agencies "are not suppressed, delayed, or altered for political purposes and are not subjected to inappropriate influence," as well as making sure there's "independent review of facilities, methodologies, and other scientific activities as appropriate to ensure scientific integrity."

That language is missing, however, in the Trump administration's revision of the policy, according to an NPR analysis of text posted on the Commerce Department's website.

And while the revision adopts a definition for "scientific integrity" that is similar to the previous version, it no longer says that "protection from inappropriate influence" is among the "hallmarks of scientific integrity."
