As always, it's worth tracking and magnifying WHAT is making Trump melt down, rather than the meltdown.

But it's worth noting that Krugman is getting this attention AFTER he left NYT to be able to publish what he wants.

Validates the move.

Shohei hit his 40th home run this year two weeks before he hit his 40th home run last year.

And he has a 2.37 ERA with 25K in 19IP

It makes sense once you realize that every accusation is a confession.

LEFT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has a tattoo in honor of a family member.

RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.

I just want to say β€œthank you” to the people who turned β€œDiscovery Channel” into β€œGhosts and Bigfoot” and β€œThe Learning Channel” into β€œGranite Countertop Propaganda” for being a guiding light* for me as an owner of an educational media company.

And just like that, the dogs and cats of Springfield, Ohio, were no longer considered food and were never talked about again.

In light of Tulsi’s recent ridiculous claims, a friend just posted this old explainer from 6 years ago about the scope of the Russia investigation that I’d completely forgotten about! πŸ˜‚ youtu.be/o-CCxLmkn-w?...

Convicted Murderer Released by Trump From Venezuelan Prison Is Free in U.S.

The America First geniuses managed to send hairdressers and soccer players into a gulag and *import* a triple murderer into the US. Nice work.

Politico compiled a list of people who've left The Washington Post over the last eight months and it's three pages long. Think it's important to be transparent about how many people have left, and why h/t @benmullin.bsky.social

This is how Nazis did it. Normalize death camps.
There is no due process. No hearing. No sentence. No parole.
In a few weeks, the Nazis will not be able to cover up the cost and will make them slave labor camps - just like El Salvador.
Death camps.

Under Siege From Trump and Musk, a Top Liberal Group Falls Into Crisis

Between Musk & the Trump administration, Media Matters has been squeezed to the brink. In settlement discussions, lawyers for X demanded the organization hand over all its cash and shut down β€” all because MM reported ads appeared on X next to antisemitic content. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/u...

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.

Oh, okay. Pam Bondi just fired the Epstein and Maxwell prosecutor, Maureen Comey.

That'll kill the conspiracy theories.

" How does the president get out of this mess?" It's completely bizarre and amoral that this is the question the Washington Post talking heads are asking. Are they his lawyers? His press team?

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.
