“The Trump I see now, it doesn't seem like the same one. It seems more like…you see mental deterioration. You see things emerging in the older personality that have maybe gotten bigger and the better parts of him have fallen away.” 9f8c5c09-fd32-41e6-8ab5-08a593acfc92.libsyn.com/burning-down...
Missing us (just a little?) Summer break is a great time to catch up on past episodes! @Olivianuzzi @NYMag dishes on what it's REALLY like to cover the White House, #2020 and more.

Trump is gutting the CDC on the fifth anniversary of falsely claiming one #covid_19 infection may grant permanent immunity.
@realDonaldTrump X.com A total and complete sign off from White House Doctors yesterday. That means I can't get it (immune), and can't give it. Very nice to know!!! 11:39 AM • 10/11/20 Trump also claimed immunity in an interview on Fox News where he said he believes he will be immune for "maybe a long time, maybe a short time, could be a lifetime," noting it's unclear how much immunity previously infected individuals can expect after recovering. Some crucial context: There is no evidence that people are immune if they have been infected once and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention specifically cautions people not to assume they are immune. POLITICO Mass firings hit CDC Sophie Gardner and Lauren Brensel Sat, October 11, 2025 at 9:26 AM EDT • 2 min read Dozens of CDC employees were notified late Friday night that they were being terminated, according to several former and current CDC officials and employees.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Lower income New Yorkers are more likely to ride the bus s. Also the house he used to live in before he split with Sandra Lee is worth 1.8 million dollars (third link) and had five bedrooms and six bathrooms and at 5,000 sqft meets the historical definition of a mansion
. @ZohranKMamdani ’s “plan” provides no relief for working families who take the subway, and unnecessary benefits to wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus and can afford the fare. I focus on working families, while @ZohranKMamdani the mansion boy focuses on helping the rich.

Mamdani: Trump ran on three promises. He ran on the punishment of his political enemies, easing the cost of living crisis, and mass deportation. It's that second promise that brought so many to his campaign. Yet he's unwilling to deliver on that because he's beholden to billionaires

Literally a group of far-right conspiracytheorists "informing" president Trump and America about "antifa".

Disinfo hatefluencers & grifters like Andy Ngo and Jack Posebiec (Sortor, Higby, Choe, Daviscourt, Klug, Hernandez, Shirley, Kruse and Rojas) is as insulting and world-upside-down as it gets.

I went ahead and did the starting work for someone who wants to chase this angle. Most right-wing influencers who participated in the "Antifa" roundtable at the White House yesterday have easily provable ties to TPUSA (8 of 12). The other four need a closer look I don't have time for right now.

Doing politics the right way is when the far-right regime in power memorializes a fallen influencer by terrorizing an academic that the influencer's McCarthyist organization once baselessly singled out for abuse.

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.
