Trump Said to Demand Justice Dept. Pay Him $230 Million for Past Cases

This is among the most corrupt things a president has ever suggested, and I hope the press treats it that way. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

Well payed, Harvard, well played.

Harvard offers FREE American Government course.

Pandemic truthers take over HHS Covid site Covid.gov now redirects to a page attacking masks, New York, and Anthony Fauci.

Who needs accurate health information? Not the US government.

With another set of news headlines about political elites using “””Roman salutes””” I just want to note that the Nazi salute means “I want to murder your family” and the n-word means “I want to lynch you.” That’s what they mean, they make me righteously angry, and I won’t let anybody minimize them.

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

Trump administration has removed bird flu info from the CDC website in addition to halting publication of the MMWR. It is time to seek out sources of information

Keep your messaging simple:

“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”

That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.

Sen. Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit with pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”

Matthew W. Huttle, who served time for his role in the Jan. 6 attack and was pardoned by Donald Trump, was shot and killed by a Jasper County sheriff’s deputy during a traffic stop in Indiana following an altercation with the officer.

Police say Huttle was armed and resisted arrest.

Basic stuff for how Flu’s tracked across the country. Team Flu and Respiratory Illness has infiltrated public health orgs!

Possibly also Team Polio.

It’s perfect. Here Sheryl was, “leaning in,” taking charge, being the front woman and explainer and COO for the terminally vacant, inarticulate, and people-repelling Zuck FOR YEARS, and rather than gratitude, he does this.

How low can you get? But a great cautionary career tale for powerful women.

Why Are Publications Sugar-Coating Livilsberger’s Political Minifestos? Over the last four days the bizarre Cybertruck fire outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas has run from comical interlude to possible terrorist incident to tragic suicide of another veteran of America’s…

At least for the moment national publications are radically understating the contents of Matthew Livelsberger's political minifestos which call for a violent, militia-backed "culling" of Dems from and national rebirth of masculinity under the rule of Trump ... talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/why-a...

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter ‘the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. 💀

Remember in the movie “Aliens” when no one listened to the woman and then everyone died? That’s what the vibe feels like right now.

Muslims who voted for Trump upset by his pro-Israel cabinet picks U.S. Muslim leaders who supported Republican Donald Trump to protest against the Biden administration's support for Israel's war on Gaza and attacks on Lebanon have been deeply disappointed by his Cabinet picks, they tell Reuters.

"'Obviously we're still waiting to see where the administration will go, but it does look like our community has been played...'
