The stagecraft that ushered in the Trump oligarchy The VIPs behind the president were worth more than $1.3 trillion. The message they sent couldn't have been clearer.

You could learn most of what you needed to know about the tone and tenor of Donald Trump’s second inauguration by the people who showed up to watch it. It was a perfectly 2025 mixture of influencers, fighters, billionaires, and bootlickers.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

What Trump promises to do on day one of his return to power Our reporters track the president-elect's sweeping list of Day One pledges.

Here, the @motherjones.com crew summarizes all the stuff Donald Trump has said he'll do on Day 1. I tackled his call for an External Revenue Service (tariff collections) that he dreams will replace the IRS, only the math is all wrong and the outcome would be regressive as hell—not that he cares.

What’s Really Behind the House Bill to Ban Transgender Athletes from School Sports? Trans people comprise a scant portion of athletes, at all levels, but the drive to bar them from participating in competitive sports has never been about numbers.

Book cover: CHUCK WENDIG'S WANDERERS. Features eerie sunset sky and a bent, rusted watertower and some shambling hobbity-lookin dude wandering down field path. It says NATIONAL BESTSELLER, which is nice, and includes a nice quote from the Toronto Star which compares it to Stephen King, Emily St John Mandel, and Justin Cronin's books.

Whether it was Trump swearing the presidential oath or Joe Biden circling back on being a one term President, this country is being destroyed by broken promises. I look at the impact these lies have had on America and why it's led to another Trump presidency.
