What bizarre stories these people tell themselves.
I was honored as U.S. Pardon Attorney to have played a small role in @POTUS granting @MrSantosNY clemency. Thank you, Mr. President for making clemency great again.


Not sure if there were more inflatable dinosaurs or frogs, but there were a lot of each.
For all predictions of what the No Kings crowds would be & do, away from the speaker stage the DC one mostly looked like this: lots of handmade signs, some costumes, very anti-Trump but all about how they were pro-America (here +music for a dance party in front of Trump’s banner)
Same in DC. Very peaceful. Plenty of MPD officers, all of them super bored.
Went to Chicago No Kings rally. A huge, peaceful crowd. Families were there. People of all ages. Lots of homemade signs (Soros apparently needs to up the signage budget). Some scenes below. There was such a huge gap between scary GOP rhetoric and the completely peaceful reality




Note for the writers’ room: this is too on the nose. Try something else.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump says he has commuted sentence of former US Rep. George Santos in federal fraud case.
"Gleefully reporting on the cancellation of desperately needed infrastructure projects to own the libs" is peak Russ Vought.
The Democrat shutdown has drained the Army Corps of Engineers' ability to manage billions of dollars in projects. The Corps will be immediately pausing over $11 billion in lower-priority projects & considering them for cancellation, including projects in New York, San Francisco,…
There is a 100% likelihood that he just made this up.
SOURCE: a few reporters on this wall have privately said they were bullied into participating in the walkout when they actually wanted to stay. They were physically confronted and threatened with retaliation if they didn’t join the protest.
Congrats to our new, in house Pentagon press corps The Federalist, the Epoch Times, OAN, Turkish newspaper Akşam, three individuals from the Turkish state-run Anadolu Agency, two Turkish freelancers, a reporter for the Australian, an Afghan freelancer; and three lesser-known…
I’m going to be at No Kings (again), and I think it’s hard to argue that I’m in the “farthest left, hardest core, most unhinged” part of the party. But, like all Democrats, moderates believe that Trump is a lawless authoritarian who is assaulting just about every American…
Bessent: "This crazy No Kings rally this weekend, which is gonna be the farthest left, the hardest core, the most unhinged in the Democratic Party, which is a big title. No Kings equals no paychecks."
This is good news. Scam pacs are a blight on our politics and our party.
Scoop: the DNC sent a cease-and-desist letter to a Super PAC today called “National Democrats” alleging it is "exploiting the goodwill of Democratic voters for personal profit." Part of a larger campaign w/i the DNC to crack down on alleged “scam PACs” axios.com/2025/10/15/dem…
Apparently, @JDVance has read these texts and decided they’re no big deal. That, to put it mildly, is quite the conclusion.
EXCLUSIVE: Thousands of leaked messages show leaders of Young Republican groups joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape in a private Telegram chat. Inside rising GOP leaders’ racist chats — obtained by POLITICO and spanning more than 7 months👇 politico.com/news/2025/10/1…
I'm a Jew so what do I know, but my gut tells me Eric Trump is an unreliable narrator on this topic.
Eric Trump: "Make no mistake, he is heaven-bound. He’s probably too humbled to say it. I can say it as his son because I've seen the hand of God on him for a very long time.”
Not sure a 72 year-old Senator, running for her sixth term (after pledging to serve only two) is in a great position to argue that her opponent is too old for the job.
.@JanetMillsforME tells @bridgetbhc she only plans to serve one term if elected to the Senate. At 77, she admits "age is a consideration." But she says: "I’ve won two statewide offices, and unlike other people in the primary right now, I’ve actually won public office, won…
Finance Folks: Is there a way I can go long on inflatable dinosaur costume manufacturers?
Trump is undefeated in his effort to turn every joyous or solemn occasion into disgusting grifts for his friends and/or attacks on his foes.
Trump to Israeli Knesset: "I have an idea -- Mr President, why don't give him a pardon? Give him a pardon. By the way, that was not in the speech as you probably know, but I happen to like this gentleman right over here and it just seems to make so much sense. Whether we like it…
On October 18th, millions of brave Americans will stand up and peacefully protest against the authoritarian disease metastasizing under Donald Trump. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. @gtconway3d
Jeff’s letter, and the idiocy of his logic, only proved my point. If corporate America & billionaires want to prevent Democrats from being a serious governing party, there’s no better investment than Jeff, his org and his dead end thinking. wsj.com/opinion/why-no…
Corporate America’s mouthpieces claim the few limits on corporate influence we helped win during the Biden admin drove Big Business to board Trump’s tyrannical train. If so, how can Big Business ever be trustworthy participants in a democracy? Our @jeffhauser in the @WSJ:
