Trump is a symptom of a larger disease and things will get worse if we keep believing he is an aberration rather than the evolution of a long, tireless antidemocratic project.

Amnesia in this will only deliver us to worse things. Let Cheney’s poisonous legacy be a monument to what we cannot brook.

As we wait today to see whether a leftist can defeat the Right and establishment Democrats, Cheney’s overdue passing is an opportunity to see how just far we have slid into fascism and how easily moderates can launder mass death and antidemocratic projects.

Never forget this. Remember it always.

The embrace of Bush and Cheney by the Democrats was a canary in the coal mine moment and it should never be forgotten. To see this mass murderer eulogized and see the historical record twisted is an insult and a signal that a vast sea change is necessary if we are to have a better future.

You don’t get Trump without Bush or Reagan or the relentless antidemocratic assault of traditional Republicans. That Cheney and other Never Trumpers could be held up as examples when they are guilty of midwifing this fascist moment is an indictment of this country and a warning signal.

Moderates can try and launder Dick Cheney all they want, but he was a murderous war criminal who laid the tracks for Trump and overt fascism.

We live in Cheney’s America, god help us, and it’s on us to dishonor him by undoing the damage he caused.

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

And Public Citizen has a report on the enforcement actions the donors have been facing.

www.citizen.org/news/corpora...

Two-thirds of the 24 known corporate donors have recent government contracts for projects, totaling $279 billion over the last five years. Lockheed Martin is the largest of the government contractors, with $191 billion in federal contracts over the last five years.

Of the 24 corporate donors, 14 are facing federal enforcement actions and/or have had federal enforcement actions suspended by the Trump administration. These include major antitrust actions involving Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and T-Mobile; labor rights cases involving Amazon, Apple, Caterpillar, Google, Lockheed and Meta; and SEC matters involving Coinbase and Ripple.

@blumenthal.senate.gov is asking all the secret donors to Trump's bunker-ballroom for more details.

Jensen Huang
Founder, President, and CEO
Nvidia Corp.
2788 San Tomas Expressway
Santa Clara, CA 95051
Dear Mr. Huang:
Since July 2025, President Trump has solicited $300 million in private donations to build
what has been presented to donors and the public as “the President Donald J. Trump Ballroom.”37
Despite assurances from the White House that President Trump has been “incredibly transparent”
about the project, as well as a claim that the Administration had “released the full list of donors
thus far,”38 critical details about the plans for the project have changed numerous times, including
its total cost and scope.39 Most recently, the New York Times identified several donors for the
ballroom who had been kept secret by the White House, completely belying the Administration’s
claims of transparency, and raising serious questions about why the Administration and these
donors sought to keep their donations a secret in the first place.40 You have been identified as one
of the donors to this project who chose to remain anonymous.41 Pursuant to Senate Rule XXV of
the Standing Rules of the Senate and Senate Resolution 94 (119th Cong.), Section 12, I write to
request information regarding the terms of your donation and why it was not previously disclosed.

Workers at 3 Manhattan polling sites got emails threatening a terror attack today — but an NYPD source said investigators believe it’s part of a hoax to drum up fear on Election Day.

Bomb threats were also reported at polling sites in New Jersey earlier. www.nydailynews.com/2025/11/04/n...

3 Manhattan polling sites receive Election Day terror threats in likely swatting hoax: NYPD

No polling sites have been shut down, the source said, with voting continuing as the NYPD and feds try to figure out who is behind the emails.

The president is not a king. He is not free to disregard the rule of law whenever it becomes politically inconvenient for him. The Trump administration must comply with recent court orders to fund SNAP in November for millions of hungry seniors, children, veterans and the disabled.

If the courts allow the Trump administration to drag its feet like this, most people will still be without any SNAP assistance through the month of November—and possibly much longer:

Kate Riga @kateriga.bsky.social · 1d

Wow - in new filing Trump admin tells judge it intends to give eligible recipients 50% of the SNAP benefits they'd usually get for the month of November — with the massive caveat that it might take some states "a few weeks to up to several months" to disburse the reduced money

To comply with a court order, the Trump administration is using the SNAP contingency fund but refusing to transfer additional monies to fund SNAP fully, which it could easily and legally do.
