Trump is the most dangerous man on the planet. There’s another layer to this story that most coverage hasn’t mentioned. We can smell the BS. I examined it in closer detail.

I’m heartbroken to learn of the loss of six service members, including three Ohioans deployed with Ohio’s National Guard.

My thoughts are with their families and loved ones. Ohio will remember their service, love of their country, and their sacrifice.

A judge "finds that the basis for the stops and the basis for the arrests was race and ethnicity....as the sole factor for why they're being stopped and arrested." A Trump judge, by the way.

Concentration Camp Labor Cannot Become Normal

I wrote this essay about the private sector's exploitation of American concentration camps in July 2025. The situation has since advanced much further.

Also, be sure not to spread this video of Justin Fox, the other DOGE bro who revealed that he's a malicious moron who caused incredible destruction.

Do not hurt Justin Fox's reputation just by linking Justin Fox's name to the sworn testimony Justin Fox gave about what Justin Fox did.

Phillips 66 polluted L.A.'s water. Trump won't prosecute That's the oil company with ads all over Dodger Stadium.

NEWS: Oil giant Phillips 66 (whose ads plaster Dodger Stadium) dumped polluted wastewater into LA’s sewer system. The company was indicted for Clean Water Act violations.

But now Trump won’t prosecute. Details in my newsletter, CLIMATE-COLORED GOGGLES: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/trump-doj-...

His whole life, Trump has always had someone else around to bail him out of the messes he creates: his father, Allen Weisselberg, the "adults in the room" in his first term. Now all those protectors are gone and he is openly begging for someone to save him from his own folly.

Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.

The first thing he says when trying to define the American Dream is that he wants to be able to get married, and then the first "threat" to that dream he identifies is schools treating LGBT people as equal.

Yeah man, they want to be able to get married to the person they love and everything.

“With all newspapers in Germany being told what to publish and how to write the news and editorials, it was inevitable that a deadly conformity would come over the nation’s press.”

How a Marine Unit in the Middle East Could Open New Phase of Iran War

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) speaks to the media after attending Congressional briefings on Iran at the U.S. Capitol in Washington. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images)

Chris Murphy: “This is the most incompetent, incoherent war America has fought in the last 100 years — this administration has no idea what they are doing

I have great sympathy for our soldiers & our military leaders — they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind”

Washington State lawmakers passed a so-called "millionaires tax" that will impose a 9.9% tax on income over $1 million for individuals or couples in a household despite concerns of a wealth flight. Gov. Bob Ferguson, a Democrat, is expected to sign the bill into law.

I cannot adequately explain how fucked up the World Cup situation is wihen the president of a host nation *threatens the safety* of one of the participants (Iran).
The USA should be removed as a host nation and if it's not, the games shoud be boycotted and ANYONE WITH A MORAL CENTER should see that.

Will they?

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Act like it.

Steps in Trump war rhetoric:

1. We don’t have to play by the rules in war

2. We won the war

3. If you go by the rules I just made up we won

4. No fair

Do you agree with Trump that only people with the right genetic background should come into the nation, and people with wrong genetics should be removed?

Hang on… sorry that was the Nazis - we definitely don’t agree with that, right MAGA?

An infographic titled "president Trump is reshaping the media", reposted from his truth social account.

Donald Trump is now just openly bragging about interfering in the media. He's the president. He's running a truck over the first amendment here.

To put this in language that members of this administration can understand: Pete Hegseth is scared of a girl.

Serious question:
Trump reallocated billions to build his wall; why can’t he reallocate money to pay TSA agents?
Looks to me like he thinks traveler outrage will hurt Democrats; has anyone done polling on this?
