Trump’s best business insight is realizing there’s a huge market of people who want to let everyone around them know that they’re a giant asshole.

Hegseth has taken out more American generals than Iranian ones.
In the midst of an awful lot of ever-so-sophisticated equivocating and oh-so-thoughtful-chin-stroking and too-clever-by-half-over-thinking, I just want to say, simply and unequivocally and for the record: The Resistance Libs Were Right.
In the past week, reporters learned Pete Hegseth: - blocked more minority promotions - cut DOD's civilian protections against unanimous advice of commanders - was told by his brass that Iran ops are unsustainable - secretly hired far-right milbloggers - is exploring a 2028 presidential run
It’s mind-blowing that we have literal white nationalists in the White House carrying out unfathomably cruel, abusive, white nationalist policies, and the punditariat has spent the last two weeks debating if some people were too intemperate after a Black man was murdered by cops six years ago.
These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.
We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.
Between October 2025 and July 2026, the U.S. accepted 10,258 refugees. All but three (3!) were white South Africans. Regardless of your opinion of South Africa's laws and government, I don't know how you could call this anything other than an explicitly racist policy.

The grand jury report on the Florida embezzlement scheme is blood-boiling. It's clear beyond serious dispute that the current AG of Florida was part of a shameless, calculated plan to steal public funds from sick children to gift the Republican Party & his own PAC. drive.google.com/file/d/15YSC...

me talking to magically resurrected founding father: and so sir you can see how the supreme court has become a deeply illegitimate institution that threatens the very republic you created founding father: there are *how many* papists on it???
Why is the Secretary of the Treasury saying this? Does anyone in the administration have a job description?

Peter Sagal@petersagal.bsky.social · 2w agoIn his speech yesterday, Canada PM Mark Carney seemed to try to explain to the President what a “trade deficit” is. You’re not just giving another country 100s of millions of dollars… You’re buying things from them! That you want!
Team Trump is going to leave the nation in rubble and bitch and moan no one is celebrating them for it

That there hasn't been a Power Pack TV show in the Disney era is just evidence that no one is trying very hard, imho

I don’t think most Americans know, and I did not until 2025, the absolutely critical nature of potash in farming. Canada is by far the largest supplier. It is the “rare earths” of farming. Imagine suddenly not having access to copper when making electronics.
Glenn Fleishman@glennf.com · 2w agoCanada could destroy American farming if they put a 50% export tax on potash.

They know voters hate this shit. So they wait until Blanche has the votes for Collins to come out against him. So she can claim to be a moderate. So she gets reelected. So she can spend the next two years voting for more Todd Blanches.
