"What is most astonishing about the nation’s economic and military problems is that they are entirely self-inflicted at the whim of one man."

Trump’s not insane, he’s malevolent He’s doesn’t govern, he performs He doesn’t give speeches, he does bits He doesn’t have constituents , he has a cult following His cult followers don’t expect facts, they want entertainment and engagement … until they are personally harmed …and even then 😬

Reasonable on Lewandowski's part. The expectation of a presidential pardon buoys the vast crime wave on FOTUS's behalf. The felons feel bullet-proof. (And thank you for summarizing this story for those of us who don't have ready access to the WSJ.)
Lastly, Corey has reportedly told people that if he is charged criminally, he expects Trump to pardon him.

Despite Peru’s govt upheavals, its economy remains relatively stable. Why? “Experts attribute Peru’s economic stability largely to an independent central bank and successive govts that left economic policy to career economists, insulating it from politics.” oh 🧐 www.nytimes.com/2026/09/07/w...

As Secretary of State Marco Rubio travels this week to Peru, its growing economic ties to China have raised tensions with the U.S., but show no signs of reversing course.

This is a big deal. @govpritzker.illinois.gov's Republican predecessor put the state's finances in the crapper. Pritzker has invested heavily in the state's people and infrastructure AND restored its fiscal stability. No small feat.
Illinois earned its 12th credit rating upgrade since I took office. It’s a victory for every Illinoisan that puts money back in their pockets.
Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

NEW from me -- Federal judges rarely speak publicly about the work they do, but in 2 separate reports released this week, dozens of judges, tapped by presidents in both parties, open up about the surge in violent threats they’re facing as they try to do their jobs. www.huffpost.com/entry/federa...
Dozens Of Federal Judges Go On Record About The Rising Threats They Face
In rare first-person accounts, judges describe a surge in disturbing threats, “swatting” and “pizza doxxing” since Trump took office in 2025.

Bravo 🙌 Tarrant County TX “’Cause this is what we’re doing after this from now until Nov…We’re going & we’re knocking on doors & we’re bringing people out & we’re telling them where the voter locations are & we’re helping them get there & nothing you can do can stop us from removing you in Nov” 🙏HCR

British editorial cartoonist David Parkins illustrates the bottom line.
I remain convinced that it's a gift to GOP candidates who are looking for a way to disagree with Trump publicly and think that voters will forget these sycophants have been in lockstep with him for two years If it works on you, you were always going to vote for the person with the R on the ballot.
If I was an American, I would not be able to care less about Trump renaming a lake. It is a smoke screen, intentionally creating rage over something that doesn’t matter so people aren’t talking about what does matter. He can’t get out of the war. The American middle class can’t afford groceries
We own this. We voted the regime into power. We have a chance to put the brakes on so many atrocities in November. Think about this when you vote 🗳️

Whenever I learn something that’s as frightening as the contents of this missive from @hcrichardson.bsky.social I return to @benwikler.bsky.social’s ‘This Is The Plan’ read what I underlined and then go do something about it.
