Yes please! More of this! Journalists are no longer reporting. They’re being stenographers and feeding Trump’s narcisstic ego: open.substack.com/pub/dearlste...

SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP, LEGACY MEDIA

You are dangerous, and as a lifelong journalist, I am DONE with you ...

I’m sure Russ Vought’s latest mass firings of federal workers will help Republican Winsome Earl-Sears in her race for VA governor in a few weeks.

“That was a very nasty question. I’m angry—the Nobel Peace Prize was rigged and stollen. Yesterday, I was studying for my cognitive test, and Eric kept eating the heads off the animal crackers.”

Trump in 2017: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

Trump administration in 2025: We are building a Qatari Air Force facility in the United States.

Trump sending 200 US troops to Gaza and allowing Qatar to build a base in Idaho is not going to go over well with the AMERICA FIRST MAGA movement.

Clearly, he no longer cares, but this will likely cause more fractures.

We have bases in foreign countries all over the world. I’m not sure what other countries may have bases in the US (except Singapore and Qatar). It’s not something that makes the national news though I’d like to know. Here it just reeks of “quid pro quo”.

Trump has an event about drug pricing this afternoon after his visit to the doctor. Do you think one of his aides might explain to him before it that drug prices cannot in fact fall by more than 100 percent?

(This is a rhetorical question.)

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.
