Important reporting on what should be the top scandal (among a gigantic pyramid of scandals) of the Trump administration. With hope that #Nuremberg -style trials will bring the architects of this abdication of humanity to justice one day soon. #NoFascistUSA

I’m not going to take the turkey out of the freezer until it’s defrosted.

When we were deployed, some Afghans risked their lives to help us. Now Trump wants to send them out to be killed by the Taliban.

It’s a disgrace, a betrayal, and a decision that endangers future US troops.

we're now a hair away from it being "treason" to utter a single critical syllable about Dear Leader on any topic whatsoever

Every authoritarian action Trump is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.

He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

Remember this.

BREAKING: Representative Ro Khanna is introducing legislation to ban the president, his family, members of Congress, and all elected officials from trading crypto or stocks.

What if the Big Law Firms Hadn’t Caved to Trump? It’s not inconceivable that, had the firms resisted the President’s executive orders, his momentum for lawlessness might have been curbed.

If major U.S. law firms had not so quickly surrendered to Donald Trump, this spring, his lawlessness might have been curbed, Fabio Bertoni writes.

Trump Says He Is Prepared to Send ‘More Than the National Guard’ Into U.S. Cities

He wants an insurrection so badly. He had one on January 6, 2021. Don’t give him another: Trump Says He Is Prepared to Send ‘More Than the National Guard’ Into U.S. Cities www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/u...

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

Thinking of the Jamaican citizens right now as Melissa makes landfall as a Cat 5. I read that donations can be made through World Central Kitchen and the American Red Cross because they sure won’t get any humanitarian aid from this administration. #Melissa #Jamaica

Great example of Tangential Speech, something commonly seen in psychosis, dementia, or right hemisphere brain damage (such as a stroke).

Complete disregard for human life

Trump has shown that he will come after anyone, even his own side, if you speak out against him. That’s not a president, that’s a dictator.

Inside the Trump family’s global crypto cash machine The U.S. president’s family raked in more than $800 million from sales of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found, on top of potentially billions more in unrealized “on paper” gains. Much of that cash came from foreign sources as Donald Trump's sons touted their business on an international investor roadshow.

Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million.

In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million.

A massive percentage came from foreigners.

It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics.

But few even care. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

trump's invulnerability primarily functions through the consensus that he is invulnerable

I'd like to see Mikey survive on minimum wage much less raise a family. Also:

$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

Melissa leaps from tropical storm to Category 4 hurricane in 18 hours » Yale Climate Connections Catastrophic impacts are becoming increasingly likely for Jamaica, with Melissa expected to crash onshore by early Tuesday.
