Send It In, Jerome! The Fed chair finally learns that the only way to deal with Trump is to push back.

This past weekend, Jerome Powell appeared at last to discover a core truth about this White House: The only thing that ever works is punching back. And how!

On the other hand, the reality is that we have a masked secret police force going door-to-door attempting to kidnap brown people; one government agency publicly daydreaming about deporting 100 million people; and another government agency saying that the ideal worker is a 20-year-old white guy."

Compare and contrast this deeply sick Stephen Miller tweet (left) with the rhetoric that was used on people like his ancestors when they immigrated to the United States (right):

"He spent that whole speech aggrieved, like not just sort of channeling grievance, but, like, personally aggrieved," @eggerdc.bsky.social said of Trump. "He thinks he is doing a fucking amazing job of being the president, and he does not see that reflected in what he gets back."

Netflix and Chill Outโ€”Trump Hasnโ€™t Decided Yet The president alone will determine who wins the streaming wars.

Court politics cuts both ways. Trump loves being sucked up to, and he loves distributing head-pat rewards to the suck-ups. What Trump does not love is powerful people starting to treat those rewards as something theyโ€™ve earned.

Time to Show Some Backbone Congressional Republicans have started standing up to Trump on some little stuff. But what about the big new usurpation of their power?

Senate Republicans are bucking Trump on blue slips and Argentinian beef. On his usurping the power of the purse to pay the salaries of U.S. troops . . . not so much.

Long Live โ€˜No Kingsโ€™ Saturdayโ€™s protests showed that a resistance can be large and organized. But can it be sustained?

โ€œTrumpโ€™s naked greed for wealth and power, his cruelty, his obscenity, his stupidity, his childishness, his arroganceโ€”all these have galvanized the opposition as never before in recent U.S. history. Thatโ€™s what โ€œNo Kingsโ€ was about.โ€

Really appreciate the words of @eggerdc.bsky.social today. Saturday was never going to magically fix things. Iโ€™m tired of the โ€œnone of this mattersโ€ crowd. Yep thereโ€™s a long time to go, it will get harder (& SCOTUS rulings may introduce extra hurdles), and weโ€™re going to have to put in the work.

The Rule of Law vs. The Rule of Trump A crisis moment in the defining debate of our time.

In Trump's America, "military police are heroic patriots by virtue of being in *his* military police," writes @eggerdc.bsky.social. And the law's only job is "getting out of their way."

Conversely, "people who object to his willโ€”whenever, whereverโ€”are dangerous insurgents who must be rooted out."

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didnโ€™t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

Screenshot of an excerpt from a Max Tani article for Semafor dated 5 October 2025. TEXT:

A high-profile columnist who left The Washington Post amid the paperโ€™s ongoing editorial upheaval is joining a growing anti-Trump digital news startup.

Former Washington Post opinion columnist Catherine Rampell is joining The Bulwark, where she will write a weekly economics and policy-focused newsletter while contributing to the companyโ€™s podcasts and YouTube channels. In a telephone interview on Friday, Rampell said that although she had spent her career at traditional media institutions like The New York Times and the Post, she was encouraged by The Bulwarkโ€™s growth and felt committed to its editorial mission, which emphasizes supporting Americaโ€™s democratic principles and institutions.

โ€œItโ€™s very mission-oriented as an institution, and within that mission, thereโ€™s obviously room for a lot of other views,โ€ Rampell said. โ€œAll of those things were appealing, and itโ€™s a pretty kickass group of people.โ€

โ€œThe Bulwark is a written, video, and audio product. And as we grow, we are looking for people who can excel across all those mediums,โ€ CEO Sarah Longwell said in a statement. โ€œCatherine is not just one of those people โ€” sheโ€™s one of the best of those people. She also brings a unique expertise in economics and a mission aligned worldview. Weโ€™re beyond thrilled sheโ€™s decided to join us.โ€
