Trump's presidency has produced many victims with many many more to come. But there has been no greater beneficiary...and it is not even close...than Xi Jinping.
The US Holocaust Museum is planning to "upgrade" its exhibit on the US response to Nazi Germany, and staff are concerned the Trump administration wants to downplay the extent to which the Immigration Act of 1924 doomed more European Jews to die. abcnews.go.com/US/upcoming-...

âPolarize this debate to the maxâ is right. Public health is very important, real life-and-death stakes. Todayâs America has one pro-disease party and one anti-disease party. âDonât politicize high stakes issues where youâre rightââin the name of civility or unity or whateverâis a terrible norm.

QAnon memes were not a small part of what mobilized Trumpâs January 6th mob. Ignoring this is a dangerous mistake and we are making it twice.
Clevelandâs mayor wants Democrats to know millennials like him are impatient and ready to lead. Justin Bibb says Democrats need to listen more to mayors. They see the impact of federal policy first-hand.
NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdownâso @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:
Pu says he doesn't want Ukraine in NATO. Trump says Ukraine won't be in NATO. Ukraine is not in NATO. Yet the war continues, Ru keeps attacking and there's no peace in sight. The war is very clearly NOT about Ukraine's NATO membership.

I used a 5-min segment on CBC News Network to push back directly against 3 separate myths we often hear. I emphasized that: 1) BRICS is nothing more than optics; it's members are not actual allies; 2) Ru maintains its maximalist demands; no progress was made in Alaska; 3) Ru isn't winning the war.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nationâs public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
So true. An earthquake of a decision
100+ years of CDC Directors support our client Dr. Susan Monarez. Powerful. "None of us would have agreed to the secretaryâs demands, and we applaud Dr. Monarez for standing up for the agency and the health of our communities." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
In July, Florida Republicans launched the brutal âAlligator Alcatrazâ immigration detention center deep in the Florida Everglades. But less than two months later, the camp is being dismantled by DHS and emptied of detainees after a district judge ruled that it violated federal environmental law.

And with regards to the terrific Mr. @ericbraedenyr.bsky.social
Leaving aside the typical histrionics, this seems to be Trump beginning to distance himself from Kennedy (whoâs âripping apartâ CDC), and inviting mainstream physicians and scientists to defend the vaccines, so Trump can then say, I got them to explain it better and vaccines are OK.
Former Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is finding lucrative opportunities in Republican-controlled Washington An Arizona business advocacy organization led by Sinema is taking credit for portions of Trump's âbig, beautiful bill.â

This. I vividly recall the theatrical post-COVID balcony scene during his first term. If Trump were even healthy enough to *try* put the rumors to bed, he would have done so already. The fact that the best he can muster is a short walk to a motorcade and a week-old Jon Gruden photo is quite telling

Meanwhile, did you see? A federal judge on Friday allowed the Trump admin and the Oklahoma AG to use his court to subvert democracy through a sham lawsuit manufactured to get rid of a pro-immigrant state law they donât like without needing to go through the trouble of actually repealing the law.
People really just need to laugh in their faces when they say nonsense like this.
A Tennessee sheriff, who was portrayed in the 1973 film âWalking Tallâ as a leader who bent the law in order to fight crime, killed his wife 58 years ago, prosecutors said on Friday.
Why do I blame Bill Cassidy for the destruction of the CDC and the NIH? Because he is a physician. He knew or should have known the danger that Kennedy poses to the U.S. and the globe. Kennedy has never hidden what he isâa predator, a fraud, an anti-science hack, and a gargantuan narcissist.
Trump limits National Guard assignments to 29 days at a time to keep the called up service members from getting healthcare and housing benefits while on duty. And the NG troops are catching on. Stereotypical Trump. Don't give those losers and suckers an extra dime. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...

The irony of all this is that if he manages to take down the Sullivan precedent, one of the very first victims will be the right wing social media influencers who are basically his last group of political support these days. They will get buried in lawsuits.
Release the Epstein files!!!!
I mean ffs even the Supreme Court wasnât willing to find Trumpâs calls to state legislatures to try to rig the 2020 election in the âouter perimeterâ of his Article II duties and they are willing to let him off the hook for anything.
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me â such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.
Why is this person given any kind of platform?
KEILAR: Of 172 mass attacks between 2016 & 2020, 96% were non-trans men. Are you missing bigger picture? GORKA: No. When you look at shootings at Christian schools the data is different K: Of 32 school shootings since 2020, only 3 were trans shooters G: Forgive me if I don't go with CNN's stats

RFK Jr must be fired. Heâs too deranged and full of himself to leave voluntarily. So itâs vital to convince Trump that keeping Kennedy around drains his own political power and thus his personal wealth by so visibly endangering the health of everyone in the U.S. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Ya reit. Sheer brilliance.
The Trump Administration must accept the fact that Putin is not interested in peace, only conquest. And the best way to bring this conflict to a successful end is to provide Ukraine with the means to defend itself. And to go on offense.
TPUSA, The Daily Wire, The Daily Caller, all spend millions of dollars a year to pay creators to push MAGA narratives. I truly, genuinely, honestly cannot understand how this is only a scandal when liberals do it.
A federal appeals court ruled 7-4 that President Trumpâs tariffs were illegal, and that he did not have the authority to impose most of his broad tariffs on foreign products. However, Trumpâs tariffs will be allowed to remain in effect for now.
