Twelve Jobs Nigel has earned over £1 million in additional income since the general election.

To understand the scale of it, since the July 2024 election he's earned roughly £100k more as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion than Starmer gets as PM.

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.

"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."

Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · May 20

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

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?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

"They killed Charlie Kirk — the least that we can do is go through a legal process and redistrict Indiana into a nine to zero map," Sen. Jim Banks, the Republican of Indiana, told POLITICO last month.

Here’s a little news break for your social feed. There’s nothing like a crisp autumn morning in Portland, Oregon.

OPB captured the Rose City sunrise by drone on Tuesday, Oct. 7, showcasing the Willamette River, bridges, skyline and view of Mount Hood.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Portland is ... right there. It's a real place. People live in it. People can go look at it. You could call someone there right now.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Again, if you live in Portland, just strolling around the city to verify the (checks notes) existence of store windows would do wonders for counteracting the delusions of President Livia Soprano.

NEW: The 9th Circuit has lifted Judge Immergut’s FIRST restraining order, but NOT her second one. So the national Guard still can’t be deployed to Portland despite this 9th circuit administrative stay because the SECOND TRO is still in place.

The Pentagon Press Association said that Pete Hegseth's media rules are still unacceptable.

PPA said the policy is “designed to stifle a free press and potentially expose us to prosecution for simply doing our jobs."

CNN told me it won't sign. My latest for @washingtonpost.com:

The Pentagon’s revised press rules are unacceptable, journalists’ group says

The Pentagon Press Association said the government’s policy still appears “designed to stifle a free press and potentially expose us to prosecution.”

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

It's a rambling mess of bullshit, capped off by "we'd like to make Obamacare better" from the same asshole who repeatedly tried to kill it.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 15h

Trump: "Democrats want to approve healthcare for illegals coming into our country, many of them coming from prisons and mental institutions and drug dealers. We don't want that for our people because that's gonna destroy the healthcare that we already have. We'd like to make Obamacare better."

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”
