Well I think he’s doing great.

Still too high.

Brainwashing, 2026 edition. This paper shows how X's algorithmic feed shifts people's views rightwards. It's a sophisticated, highly effective form of reorientation. And it is utterly chilling.

"Just imagine for a moment I call you… you better do exactly what I want or I'm going to impose… a 10% tariff that will last for 150 days and then go away." That’s not leverage; that’s a marshmallow test.

we have a completely dysfunctional Court at this point

An editorial in the woke, left-wing rag the Wall Street Journal calls yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling against Trump’s tariffs "arguably the worst moment of his Presidency."

At the end of the day, when every dollar of the massive slush fund of taxpayer money Republicans appropriated to DHS in 2025 is audited, we will find it to be the largest govt fraud scandal in history. In addition to ICE reforms, it will more than justify this shutdown.

Governor Gavin Newsom on Trumps illegal tariffs. Every state should be urging the money to be returned!

“.. We cannot any longer be naive,” he said. “We have to use our tools and not just speak about them.” 🇫🇷

This ruling is meaningless unless there is enforcement. CJ Roberts knew #SCOTUS ass was covered by an impotent and feckless congress.

They aren’t spending billions of dollars on detention camps to leave them empty.

They either aren’t planning on deporting people, or they intend to fill the camps with someone else.

Epstein files could be just tip of the iceberg for Andrew investigation It is likely we have only seen the tip of the iceberg compared to what the police have seen.

Detectives investigating Andrew have asked the FBI and DOJ for unredacted copies of the Epstein Files, via the National Crime Agency.

Stephen Colbert responds to CBS disputing his claims that he was barred from airing the James Talarico interview:

"And for the lawyers to release this without even talking to me is really surprising. I don’t even know what to do with this crap. Hold on."

He then picks it up with a dog poop bag.

Stephen Colbert, with grace and humor, is making his network overlords look like the most pathetic cowards imaginable, and that’s what they are. The last two nights have been a masterclass in courage and precise examples of how everyone should deal with this stupid administration.
