In an interview with The Economist, Steve Bannon claimed that there was “a plan” to get around the 22nd Amendment, the constitutional limit that bars anyone from being elected president more than twice. He added that he was involved with a group working on that plan.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Trump’s Vile New $230 Million Shakedown of DOJ Just Got Even Worse
It’s bad enough that Trump wants—and DOJ will likely fork over—this tribute payment. Now, get this: It can probably be done at first without even being revealed publicly.
Awful: Trump's $230 million shakedown from DOJ can be paid to him confidentially at first, without the public ever finding out about it until later, Rep Jamie Raskin tells me.
Raskin will formally demand full communications between WH and DOJ on this.

THIS 😡. It is my opinion that they only way to move forward in this country to to educate our children about our history, about racism of all kinds, and truly face what this country as build upon. If we never do this, racism and division will always define us.

Fun Fact: Extending the enhanced health care subsidies would cost approximately $35 billion per year, based on a Congressional Budget Office estimate of $350 billion over a decade. A one-year extension would cost about $23 billion, according to a different CBO estimate. Instead, 40B to Argentina.

To be crystal clear: trump is talking about taxpayers paying him millions of dollars as some sort of restitution because he was investigated for sending a mob to the US capitol on Jan 6th to overthrow the 2020 election. That might just be he most f*cked up thing he’s done since Jan 6th…

People who mock the "No Kings" title, saying, "Donald Trump never asked to be a king," show:
(1) A gross inattention to what he is doing; and
(2) A profound ignorance of American history and what the Revolution was all about.

I know you all know what deranged, vile, propaganda nonsense this is. But for the record:
Leaders of the regime are declaring the opposition party and all forms of political dissent as illegitimate - and large swaths of the population to be dangerous terrorists. This is incredibly dangerous.

Prosecutor Who Rejected Trump’s Pressure to Charge James Is Fired

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.
Pay attention and act!

It’s incredible that the VT State Senator wrapped up in this hasn’t resigned yet — every major GOP leader in the state has called for his resignation. Fixing democracy requires restoring shame to public life. And accountability. Lots of accountability. vtdigger.org/2025/10/14/v...

After Trump's tariff post, trillions vanished in hours. The S&P collapsed. Nasdaq crashed. Tech giants bled red. But a different kind of storm was already brewing — not on Wall Street, but deep inside the blockchain.
While everyone else was watching Trump’s post, someone was already cashing in.

Here's a neat trick they teach in authoritarianism school: If you purge the people who measure the effects of your policies (BLS, MMWR), you can just claim everything's great, and nobody can prove how much damage you're doing.
