Reporter: Can you respond to these Epstein emails that were released today?

Trump: *no answer*

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

The whole Third Term Project isnโ€™t actually about Trump. The people behind it know he will likely be dead or enfeebled by 2029. It is about them, the vastly unpopular group around Trump, wanting to grift us forever without elections.

I was part of the internal Trump administration team trying to convince the president to end the shutdown in 2018 - 2019 โ€” for 35 days โ€” before people went hungry, workers lost pay, and government services collapsed.

Hereโ€™s what I learned: he doesnโ€™t give a shit.

Enten: "Canada is far more popular than Donald Trump is here in the United States. The net popularity of Canada is +49. Trump is -10. We're talking about Canada coming out nearly 60 points ahead on the net popularity ratings versus Donald Trump here in the US"

"We talk about our sites of democracy as sacred. Congress is sacred. The president defiled that when he sent a mob. The WH is a historical site for our history. The president is demolishing it at will."

A view of two pages of the handmade photobook of my project on Canada's House of Commons.

I'm reviewing the book I made at the end of my MA in Doc Photo. The book contains many photographs and a contextual essay.

Photographed in and around Canada's House of Commons, my project points to the need to update our institutions to better meet the challenges now facing liberal democracies.

Researcher Heather Ganshorn warns that the groups shaping Albertaโ€™s new school policies have a bigger agenda: โ€œThey want to take over politics. They want to take over education. They want to reclaim the familyโ€”itโ€™s white Christian patriarchal supremacy.โ€ thewalrus.ca/the-battle-brewi...

Great kicker. Marc Benioffโ€™s PR team wanted him to do an interview about philanthropy. Instead he sounded off on a bunch of Trump policies he supports and called for the White House to send troops to SF.

Doesnโ€™t seem like the comms team was pleased with how the interview went..

Got a recent Pulitzer for warning on the spread of autocracy around the globe, after decades of service to the paper? You can bet your butt you're getting laid off by form email, on Yom Kippur

This is an important point.

Also an important point: the media keeps referring to what Trump is doing as a โ€œdomestic crime pushโ€ when it FLAGRANTLY is not that.

Itโ€™d be easier to resist Trumpโ€™s autocratic moves if the media stopped parroting his nakedly bad-faith โ€œcrimeโ€ framing.

If you know about Korea, you know that people will tell this story for generations.

Given the scale, tech savvy, cultural sway, strategic importance, and national pride of ROK, this might be *the* most lastingly damaging, idiotic move team MAGA has made.

This may explain why thereโ€™s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirkโ€™s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.
