Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

I don't see people putting the pieces together. Musk stole all the citizen data via DOGE, and Trump promises to disproportionately fire Democrats during the shutdown. He declares war on "ANTIFA". He indicts Comey & James. Do you not understand that he's totally coming for you?

And then there's Alberta...

It is clear that Trump is not going to stop in his attack on Canadian manufacturing. The PM is going to have to put a strong plan in place to support our auto, lumber, steel, aluminum sectors.
This is a speech I gave to autoworkers in Oshawa.

Holy shit: the Department of Justice brought charges against the sitting New York State Attorney General without informing the United States Attorney General.

No, Premier Smith — Your Pipeline Won’t Build Canada
@abdaniellesmith believes in @OPEC's vision of oil's future: growth long past 2050.
OPEC's assumptions, unfortunately for her, are already falling apart.
Her pipeline will be a disaster.

Premier Ed Stelmach, thank you for donating a tank of gas for the #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus and for joining us at the Andrew garlic festival 🧄 That’s what principled leadership is all about.
Volunteers, thank you for braving the cold and collecting signatures!

I really enjoyed this Coyne column. Said tech oligarchs need to way more attentive to the way public opinion is shifting against them. Coyne is just about the furthest thing from a "soak the rich" socialist, and yet....

It seems they also got rid of the organization that monitors how many Americans die, when, and of what. Convenient.

We are in a time of frightening darkness but people are still stepping up and doing the right thing.
We must keep kicking at the authoritarian darkness until it bleeds daylight.

11.10.2025 13:57 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Is it fake that she thanked Trump for his support? Is it fake that the US has wanted regime change in Venezuela for a decade? Is it impossible for the state department to have lobbied the Nobel committee hard on a candidate we've never heard of before?

And yet here we are, yet again ... this administration on a track we choose not to imagine through self censorship.
The conventions of political reporting today are not well equipped to handle this concerted use of pretexts for instrumental purposes and the bottomless bad faith they employ. Grasping the industrial-scale deception at the core of MAGA politics is essential. 6/

Yes, America, he is referring to the 100% peaceful No Kings rallies that have literally nothing to do with Hamas or antifa or hating America.
America has been gaslit by these lunatics every day for a decade, and at some point the other shoe will drop—though I have no idea what or when that will be.

Bondi proved she was corrupt way back in 2013 when she was Florida’s attorney general and declined to investigate allegations of fraud against Trump University after Trump sent a check for $25,000 to a PAC she was associated with.
