We are quite literally living through the most radical presidential administration in US history and no one in our political media notices it because being a Republican means you’re a “conservative”
The White House has not responded to a request to explain where President Trump got his false claim that Beyoncé was paid $11 million to endorse Harris, but when he made the same claim in February, he explained: “Somebody just showed me something.”cnn.com/2025/07/27/pol…
On his return to the US, just fly him directly to a mental institution, tell him he is now King of the World, and keep the “hamburders” coming.
After Trump’s reality-free spectacle in Scotland: “Wow. I’m not going to say any more words until my executive producer puts on the banner next to me, ‘that was bat poop crazy.’” — @AliVelshi Then he calmly fact-checks every lie. Velshi is a national treasure—especially in…

Classic authoritarian bargain: the strongman and his oligarch who buys media properties. Russia, India, etc., and now the US.
We are truly losing this country.
Evidence of systematic diversion was always weak. Amb Satterfield publicly rejected Israeli claims. This period will be revisited but right now all energy should be focused on flooding Gaza with humanitarian aid and professionals. This is a matter of humanity, not politics.
The Trump administration gave cover to Israeli aid blockade and utterly inadequate substitute to the UN as Gaza tips into starvation premised on propaganda and falsehoods about widespread Hamas aid diversion nytimes.com/2025/07/26/wor…
“Gabbard and Bondi can undertake these sorts of attacks secure in the knowledge that if they cross a criminal line…Trump can just pardon them. It’s not quite as amazing as having the Supreme Court invent an entire immunity doctrine to protect just one criminal…”
"Without the immunity ruling, Trump would likely still be dragging out appeals in his criminal cases & we'd be living in a world where govt remains functional. Instead, he has taken full advantage not just to dodge his crimes, but to crown himself king." publicnotice.co/p/scotus-immun…
