Hmm. We were still fighting in Afghanistan during Trump’s first term. How come we didn’t win “easy” then? Why did Trump sign a one-sided agreement with the Taliban that allowed them to take over?

Fascism occurs twice: first as the tragedy of a Second World War started by men who fought the First and knowingly chose slaughter, then as the farce of an ignorant draft dodger trying to provoke a war against his own people.

Trump: "We won World War 1. We won World War 2. We won everything in between. We won everything before. And all of the sudden they decide to change the name. They went woke then too, you know. Woke is a long term. Word."

If any other president was 57 minutes late to an event addressing service members, there would be wall-to-wall coverage on all 3 major cable news networks addressing whether or not the president cares about the military.

I don’t know much about intentional affairs but isn’t this an invitation to China and Russia and North Korea?

个 Post ••• Stephen Miller • @StephenM X.com The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks. 1:59 PM • 10/4/25 • 5.1M Views 10K 27 21K 83K 2.3K 1

“Goering shouted, ‘This [the Reichstag fire] is the beginning of the Communist revolution! We must not wait a minute. We will show no mercy. Every Communist official must be shot, where he is found. Every Communist deputy must this very night be strung up.’”

- Rise & Fall of the Third Reich, p 139

Trump is now 40 minutes late and counting. Naval cadets still standing around in total and increasingly uncomfortable silence.

This feels like evidence Trump's aides are deliberately gaslighting him, which is unfortunately very easy to do with dementia sufferers (Trump did it to his father) and which aides are using to seize control of the US military for their own purposes.

"Everyone is twelve now" theory

More and more evidence emerging for this powerful new theory.

Oh dear! Please don't!!! 🙂

ICE is pepper spraying CPD (Chicago police)

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "We know that Senate Republicans want to make a deal. They understand that 24 million of Americans are going to have their premiums doubled starting November 1...Four million Americans are going to lose their healthcare altogether."

181. Courts and Domestic Use of the Military In response to adverse judicial rulings, the President's advisers and supporters are claiming courts lack the power to halt domestic use of the military. A critical early precedent is to the contrary.

In light of Judge Immergut's ruling, there's a lot of noise today coming from the President's advisers and supporters about courts not having the power to provide prospective relief against domestic uses of the military.

Via "One First," me on the rather significant early precedent to the contrary:

Younger veteran: "How old are you, man?"

Older veteran: “87.”

Younger veteran: “Out here getting arrested, raising hell at 87.”

Older veteran: “It’s just beginning.”

Using massive Medicaid and Medicare fraud.

It appears that the federal agents occupying Portland have people embedded with them charged with the task of producing stories presenting the government’s version of events. Ironically, this was the sort of work JD Vance did in Iraq before he decided he was against that war.

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

The Trump administration has cancelled 4,304 deliveries to food banks so far this year, refusing to deliver 94 million pounds of contracted-for food. Food banks simply can’t feed people enough anymore. Millions of Americans are going hungry as a result.

Trump’s hatred for renewables means the US is falling behind the rest of the world As well as embracing ‘beautiful coal’, the president has set about obliterating clean energy projects

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

The Supreme Court just took legal status from 300,000 Venezuelans Justice Jackson accuses her colleagues of "repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference."

The Supreme Court’s Republican appointees let the Trump administration end the legal status of 300,000 Venezuelan immigrants who were granted Temporary Protected Status, a type of humanitarian relief for people whose home countries are in crisis.

Trump is making thousands of rule-abiding immigrants undocumented Inside the largest delegalization campaign in modern US history.

As @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social reported back in September, this is the largest delegalization campaign in modern US history.

If you want to learn more about the people under TPS and how this move will affect them, read Dias' feature below:

A judge upholding the constitution isn't a "legal insurrection".

The chump administration is seeking to violate the constitution & the rights of US citizens and wants to do so under the guise of "law & order" as this administration continually tramples the constitution.

#Pinks

This federal judge appointed by President Trump found his claims of “chaos“ in Portland, Oregon “untethered to the facts.“

They’ve turned everyone in Chicago into extras in Stephen Miller’s villainous, unconstitutional, authoritarian fantasy

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

If you allow a government to break the law because of an “emergency”, it will create an emergency to break the law.

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!
