Meiselas: Trump says he’s focusing right now on laying off the Democratic agencies and government employees, whatever that means. Again, completely pathetic behavior, and in normal times, this would be impeachable and/or 25th Amendment territory.

"President Trump continued to describe Portland as a city on fire Friday even as residents enjoyed the first fall rain and the lone demonstrator at the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building was dressed as a pink Care Bear."

Sometimes there is a good sentence or two in the NYT.

UPDATE: Judge Perry issued an opinion explaining why she blocked the Texas National Guard deployment in Chicago.

She begins with Alexander Hamilton’s rejection of a “preposterous” idea that the Constitution lets a President deploy a State’s militia to a different State for political retribution. 🧵

That sound you hear is plaintiff lawyers popping champagne corks and DOJ lawyers groaning.

It means that DOJ indictments won’t mean anything anymore.

Before now, when somebody got federally indicted, we assumed that the person probably did something.

From now on, it just means you made Trump mad.

The Golden Age of America.

Don’t worry, folks. The important thing is that Trump and his family have gotten richer.

We've strategically placed mediocre hacks at the top of every political and business organization, let's see what happens next

Scenes from an authoritarian country.

So greasy fascist lunatic Peter Thiel thinks Greta Thunberg may be the Antichrist?

Guess whose name appears in the Epstein Files that have been released, Peter? No hers. Yours!

So that, technically, makes you more evil than the Antichrist.

Qatar gave Trump the luxury 747 that he wanted and now we are LETTING THEM BUILD A MILITARY BASE ON US SOIL

She didn't ask but I would have given Dolly a kidney if she needed. Or just wanted. I'd still give her one if she just wants like an extra or something.

These freaks keep getting on TV talking about opposing antifa and how they believe antifa wants to destroy them, and not a single person in mainstream media has asked or commented on what is the opposite of antifascism and who is threatened by antifascists

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

Donald trump can still win the Nobel Peace prize if Mike Pence has the courage

Venezuela's opposition leader María Corina Machado has won this year's Nobel Peace Prize for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela.

Mike Johnson makes $194,000, free Healthcare and to protect his House Majority, he will not pay our Military.

Johnson. Miller, Vought and Hedseth like to THINK they can blame Democrats... but as you can see Republicans are doing the LEADING HERE..

Autism cannot be acquired after birth.

Seems bad that the top people in the US federal government are brain rotted freaks obsessed with children’s genitals.

One way of thinking about the Trump administration is that the worst people in American government are pushing out the best people in American government

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.

All to cover up the Epstein files.

Horrifically creepy and emblematic of this rape-coded administration, but also a govt employee staying at the fuckin ritz on a business trip shows you how much the DC world has changed since the DOJ muffin scandal of 2011.

It's time to say:

What. An. Idiot.

I am being polite.
