"They will have sacrificed themselves to delay Trump's day of reckoning with the Epstein Files and for that they will be forever revered by our cult."

Top officials of the Trump regime are not talking publicly about their war against Iran because they don't really give a crap what the American people think.

One of these wars, we're going to get a shot of a busboy clearing a six-top in the background while the president orders an airstrike and two scoops of iced cream.

When Trump came to power, he ripped up the peace deal that Obama had made, and used the uncertainty he created as an excuse to bomb Iran, insisting he had ended the problem he had created once and for all, except now he's bombing them again to solve the problem he created and previously solved?

This is a stunning result. Americans hate this war. 8 out of 10 of us. That means half or more of Trump’s most loyal base.

4/9. The Iranian operation in 2020 was designed to help Donald Trump get elected.

This war is the latest example of US policies being hijacked to serve the pathological agenda of Bibi Netanyahu. The reflexive impulse of the US security establishment to accept and support the views of a malevolent zealot has deeply damaged American interests for most of this century.

In a functioning democracy, Trump would have had to go to Congress and make a case for war.
In a dictatorship, Trump kills whomever he wants to.

Look for large segments of the American news media, thirsty for war news, to instantly forget that the Trump regime lies to the public all the time.

Please, media, don’t turn the war into entertainment 8 things for journalists to keep in mind as they cover Trump’s military moves

I wrote this plea for media responsibility last June when Trump ordered air strikes against Iran. It remains relevant as Trump launches an even wider war against Iran.
American news outlets must resist the impulse to treat war as entertainment.

The Trump regime, which has boasted about low gas prices, just launched a war that has closed the Strait of Hormuz, where 20% of the world's oil normally passes.

When you drop a lot of bombs, you buy more bombs. War is good business for military contractors and the politicians they own.

They spent 2025 making a huge show of how "disruptive" and "transformative" they were being, with sweeping cuts at DOGE, massive changes in the One Big Beautiful Bill, and so much more.

Now that the costs are becoming clear, they're pretending they did nothing at all. It's all Biden's fault!

It's stunning how much Trump's taxpayer-funded cult iconography resembles the giant Hitler, Stalin and Mao posters in dictatorships of the past.

Clarence Thomas Just Struck Another Blow to Black Power In his majority ruling in a sleeper case about mail delivery, Thomas opened the door to a new way for Republicans to suppress the Black vote.

In an overlooked decision this week, the Supreme Court ruled that the post office can refuse to deliver your mail, which is KIND OF SIGNIFICANT if you choose to mail your ballot.
To do this work, the anti-democracy wing turned to their favorite “black friend,” Clarence Thomas.

Well, if there's silent support, the Washington Post couldn't find them.
And that's his private paper.
After a year, these are horrible numbers.
If he lives out this term, he'll be in negative numbers.

Any day now, Trump will say, "Please clap."

I’m not getting into this again today, but the white man who yesterday yelled at me that I have no idea what it’s like to live with a condition for decades.

You have no idea what it’s like to be Black and have that word hurled at you when you’re 5 years old and barely know what it means.

I think the New York Times has become a psychology experiment in which they see how many times they can poke their remaining subscribers in the eye before they finally walk away

There's no limit to what they'll defend -- if you think it's bad that the FBI director flew to Italy to party with Olympic athletes on your dime, you are an America-hating loser, per Fox News.

First Draft: Getting Away With Epstein Why do people only get arrested over the Epstein files outside of the US? Plus, Trump stops trying to prosecute some of his enemies, while Republicans come for one of their own.

I’m in Texas. We have foreign agitators or bots that are pushing propaganda constantly. It doesn’t help that we have influencers out of DC, NYC and Cali with zero ties to Texas helping them out.
Australia and Norway are deeply concerned about this Senate primary.

Photo of my dogs Mellie and Dexter a.k.a. spaniel day Lewis. They are sitting on a blue comforter that is on the floor. In the background is a Christmas tree yes it's fucking February

Day 3 post-chemo. Days 3-5 tend to be the worst according to the internet. I have a feeling Mr. Day Lewis will feel fine. He hasn't had any side effects so far. You would never know this dog has cancer.

The president of the United States said at a press conference that he, and I quote, "want to be a good boy."

Please read @davekarpf.bsky.social on why he's leaving Substack – and follow his great newsletter wherever he'll go.

I wrote about why I left Substack a few months ago: I simply couldn’t justify lending legitimacy to that platform anymore. A difficult transition – but, I believe, a necessary one.
