The media and MAGA like to write off Trump’s outrageous comments as “joking” when he’s actually telling us the ways he intends to ruin our country. My Stop the Presses newsletter.
Stop saying Trump is joking when he’s not
Will he rig the midterms? Seek an illegal third term? We need to take him seriously

Americans have no reason to trust Liar-in-Chief Donald Trump. Steven Cash of The @thesteadystate.org stopped by Lincoln Square to discuss what this means for the future of America. https://bit.ly/4g6ffVn Subscribe to watch this episode of It’s The Democracy, Stupid! with Edwin @eisendrath.net
🚨Breaking news in @notus.com: For years, Republicans have outmaneuvered Democrats to take advantage of big money in politics. We are over it. In partnership with @democrats.org, Democratic Data Exchange, + the Association of State Democratic Committees, we’re working to advance the entire ecosystem.
What these "peace talks" amount to is basically the same scenario as when New York and New Jersey officials discuss how much drivers should pay when they take the Lincoln Tunnel. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/w...
While Americans struggle with rising gas prices and inflation, big oil is making billions from the Iran War. Oil industry profits have more than doubled in just a year, reaching their third highest level in history.
This is ridiculously scary. Yes, we are currently talking about ballrooms and reflecting pools and inflation and Iran and Venezuela and Epstein and crypto grift and the moral rot of the GOP. But all that is going to be forgotten soon. Shit is about to get real, as they say.
Zeke Hausfather@zekehausfather.com · 3d agoI'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

Very important piece by @davidoatkins.bsky.social at Washington Monthly: the DNC is actually doing just fine and raising record money, and the hit pieces are a product of a tier of useless DC consultants who don't want their media buy gravy train to end. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/07/31/t...
The Case for the DNC’s Ken Martin. Really.
Martin is being excoriated, but he’s taking on the consultant class, building a strong grassroots operation, and raising tons of money.

THIS is how you do it: Put the non-stop Trump lies up front. "The president repeatedly accused unknown “thugs” of slicing into the landmark after its multimillion-dollar renovation, but his own DOJ now says the damage was caused by contractor error." www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...
Some might see this and assume it’s fake, but Trump actually published it. The White House perpetrated a fraud on the public, and after the DOJ was forced to abandon a baseless prosecution, Trump doubled down on the self-satisfying fiction he prefers to reality and threw Pirro under the bus.

The goal of the battle over the origins of COVID19 is “to sow distrust in science and scientists”. This article shows why experts believe that this was a spillover event and not a lab leak. The maps showing the cluster of the first cases around the wet market are old school Epidemiology. Solid.
Animal spillover? Lab leak? What the science says about the origins of COVID-19
The release of Dr. Anthony Fauci's pandemic diaries has rekindled the debate over the origins of SARS-CoV-2. Here's how scientists have weighed in.
npr.org
New, from me: It is fine to disagree with aspects of the pandemic response. But what we saw at Fauci's hearing was something different: a show trial where cranks tried to threaten and shift blame to an public servant. Here is why this is bad for all of us.🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/watching-t...

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
The pattern is unmistakable: *Nobody died from USAID cuts. *Nobody killed by ICE is innocent. *No Muslim in the UK can escape the charge of being a rapist or a murderer. *No Somali in Minnesota is there legitimately by definition. And so on: newrepublic.com/article/2135...
Instead of feeling the weight and responsibilities of leading our magnificent country, the man who redecorates the Oval Office with gold leaf sees only the tools of coercive power and the opportunities those create for personal enrichment. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/edwineis...

“Zero died because of DOGE," Elon Musk said in his interview with the Economist. This claim is utter nonsense and has been widely debunked. But Musk tried to back this up with additional dissembling that's just as bad. We took it on here: newrepublic.com/article/2135...
Trump and prediction markets are promoting the idea that unethical insiders can make out like bandits while regular people get separated from their cash. And shamefully, the news media are part of it. My Stop the Presses newsletter.
