Trump said he aced a very hard IQ test, turns out it was the one where you have to tell a lion from a camel. The only thing is… it wasn’t an IQ test. Yikes. He said it was very hard, though. He bragged he ‘got them all right,’ like he just cracked the Da Vinci Code.

Trump is executing people on the high seas by deeming them "enemy combatants" without any proof.

He's also called his political opponents — immigrants, Democrats, protesters — the "enemy within."

Put it together: How close is Trump to ordering attacks on them, too?

I'm rooting for the Blue Jays just so I can see Donald melt down over a Canadian team winning the World Series.

A thoughtful response to presidential malpractice. Revisiting following Trump’s recent reiteration.

At 2pm Judge Xinis is holding a 'virtual' hearing on govt's new stated plan of sending Abrego Garcia to Liberia by 10/31. Abrego says it's too late to switch again & govt must 1st try Costa Rica (already offered, but only if he'd plead guilty). I'll try to live blog here for @lawfaremedia.org .

NEW: The Trump administration is racing to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia as soon as Friday, conceding it does not intend to follow through on his criminal case despite earlier assurances.

"Anna, Lindsey Halligan Here." Anna Bower Monday, October 20, 2025, 5:40 PM Share On: f X inK My Signal exchange with the interim U.S. attorney about the Letitia James grand jury.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

This seems to be their angle. If there’s a shutdown they won’t furlough employees they’ll fire them permanently. The fact that this is illegal kind of isn’t the point these days. I don’t see why this is much of a threat. They don’t have to do this. It’s a choice. They run the govt. when things …

Kimmel’s refusal to capitulate stands out because so many other well-situated people—those with the resources, platform, and power to stand up to the president, including, initially, the leaders of ABC—have surrendered, withdrawn, or become Trump sycophants themselves. One by one, American leaders supposedly committed to principles of free speech, due process, democracy, and equality have abandoned those ideals when menaced by the Trump administration. These cascading acts of cowardice from the people best positioned to resist Trump’s authoritarian power grabs have made Trump seem exponentially more powerful than he actually is, sapping strength from others who might have discovered the courage to stand up. Defending democracy requires a collective refusal to acquiesce to lawless behavior from many different sectors of society. All of these powerful people trying to save their own skin have effectively multiplied Trump’s attacks on constitutional government, by enhancing a false sense of inevitability and invincibility.

Kimmel’s defiant return highlights one of the most disturbing dynamics of Trump II, that so many people in positions of leadership are chickenshit frauds who would rather fold in advance than put up anything resembling a fight www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

VIDEO: Top health officials are at odds with scientists. Who should Americans believe? President Trump linked Tylenol to autism despite little medical evidence. How are Americans meant to make important decisions about their health at this confusing moment?

Oklahoma School Superintendent Ryan Walters is demanding that EVERY public school have a Turning Point USA Chapter.
This PRIVATELY FUNDED organization (with a 60 MILLION $ annual budget) would also receive STATE FUNDS if chapters were installed.
We've seen this before; it was called the Hitler Youth

Actions now being taken by Trump and his regime may seem far-removed from your daily life or the lives of people you care about. But they’re not. I don't want to alarm you, but I do want you to be prepared.

Last night, the Department of Health and Human Services sent termination letters to employees who were originally fired in April but temporarily reinstated due to a lower court ruling. The Supreme Court cleared the way last week for those firings to proceed.
