Last night, a frantic "routine yearly check up" [sic] was scheduled for Friday morning.
You'll recall he weighed "224" pounds at his 1st "routine yearly" check-up on April 13th... less than 6 months ago 💁‍♀️

Also, Trump is in the Epstein Files.

As I've been saying- he's been diagnosed w/ something terminal.
That's why he's flipping his shit & talking about his mortality (like all old people do, end stages), and why they are cramming power-grab while they still can.
Vance let it slip in that USA Today interview & MAGA isn't buying 'him' 🙄

Wow. Just, wow. He thinks this is a person.

Also, I was also completely distracted by the size difference between his hands & had to watch it twice.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Trump & his co-Vice Presidents, Vance and Miller, allow orders by Noem to have religious clergy shot by ICE cosplay snipers in Chicago while he was praying for them.

Meanwhile, the federal shutdown is a keeping the Epstein Files from being released.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

I push back for 2 reasons:
1. This will come directly from the Pentagon
b. MAGA culture has not only completely infiltrated the military, but also the past 10 years of Trumpism have built this moment with a new generation of MAGA soldiers entering. They are just itching for the order for GO time.

WTO downgrades global trade growth forecast to 0.5% for next year

GENEVA (Reuters) -The World Trade Organization sharply lowered its 2026 forecast for global merchandise trade volume growth to 0.5% on Tuesday, citing expected delayed impacts from U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs. "The outlook for next year is bleaker ... I am very concerned," Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala told reporters in Geneva. For 2025, the WTO upgraded its forecast for global trade volume growth to 2.4%, from 0.9% previously, driven primarily by the front-loading of imports into the United States ahead of tariff hikes and growth in the trade of AI-related goods.

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.
