Can’t do student loan relief. Can’t mandate vaccines. Can’t help home owners. Can commit human rights abuses.
I strongly recommend Andrea Bernstein's thorough journalist study "American Oligarchs" which drills into the Kushner and Trump families (be prepared to be disgusted and infuriated) This isn't sensationalist but well researched facts.
I sincerely hope John Roberts burns in hell. Fuck this court.
"The danger is... that the President would be chilled from taking the 'bold and unhesitating action' required of an independent Executive... the hesitation to execute the duties of his office fearlessly and fairly... 'under a pall of potential prosecution.'" Thanks, Chief Justice Roberts!
Eric Lipton NYT@ericlipton.nytimes.com · last wk.What an odd moment in United States history. A U.S. president is running an overtly political camaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government. Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/u...
Iran wants to end the war and open the strait but Trump wants to continue the war and keep gas prices high, according to Trump
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Trump: "I'm rejecting their deal. They want to make a deal where they open the strait immediately ... we're winning tremendously. We have total control of the Hormuz Strait ... that deal would not be acceptable. They want to immediately open the Hormuz Strait."
BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly furious because the presidents and prime ministers of other countries have been posting their photos from the UN General Assembly with Trump edited out of them like he got edited out of all the World Cup trophy celebration photos.

Remember when Jake Tapper dug in his heels to defend Fox News when Obama dared to move them to the second row of the press room? Well, now that the roles have reversed, I'm sure that Fox News will -- come on, stop laughing, let me finish

Ossoff: Blanche is a joke and a hack. These folks are not just corrupt, they're clowns. Here you have a Kremlin connected Russian oligarch giving massive cash gifts to the president's son…
Looks like a certain petulant brat got his saggy ass handed to him by a strong woman. You know how much he must have delighted in that. Thank you, President Connolly!
Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party. Seems like it should be a story?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoTrump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

The only way to neutralize Fetterman is by flipping five senate seats instead of four in the midterms. He can’t be impeached or recalled, and there aren’t enough republican votes to expel him. He’s there until 2028 unless he resigns.
Musk is already underwater in polls and if Democrats lean in they can make him even more toxic. He's declared open war on you all and is pushing a toxic, destructive, racist agenda. Maybe it's time to push back? I don't know, I'm just spitballing here.

Media: WhAt AbOUt HasAN PiKeR?! Meanwhile, the White House has an actual Nazi in a leadership position. The absolute lack of perspective and the media’s complicity in mainstreaming Nazi views is a huge reason why we live in an increasingly fascist state.

A very good letter in the @chronicle.com by @lsiraganian.bsky.social & other JHU AAAUP members debunking the fake crisis of declining public trust in higher education and highlighting a real one: university administrators willing to collaborate with authoritarians. www.chronicle.com/blogs/letter...
This monstrosity near Arlington National Cemetery is a disgrace and a litmus test for me in 2028 primary. Maybe for others too. If no pledge to tear it down, then cross off list for consideration.
