My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

๐Ÿ˜ณ WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

Not a Texan, but everyone needs to see these people exposed for their self-serving schemes. They are NOT our allies!

1. Data centers are one of the biggest issue in the 2026 mid-terms and, publicly, Trump has staked out the unpopular position of supporting them. Meanwhile, Trumpโ€™s super PAC is ATTACKING DEMOCRATS FOR SUPPORTING DATA CENTERS.

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

wow -- Fox Business is now treating Trump's completely made up economic boasts as though they are factual. Note the citation here -- "The White House" Reminder that the entire US economy is about $32t. If we really had $21t flowing in, you'd notice it Fox thinks their viewers are really dumb

Corporate profits and tax revenues grew together until the Trump tax cuts. Now corporate profits are at an all-time high while tax receipts are at their lowest since 2021.

Huh, but I was told, and am still repeatedly told by my family here, that this is one of the most dangerous places on the planet. It's lies all the way down.

Economist analysis of more than 3,000 US counties finds that in reliably GOP counties, annual deaths now exceed births by 0.4 per 1k residents, while in reliably Democratic counties, births exceed deaths by 2.8 per 1k. Population growth in the GOP counties is largely driven by internal migration.

So I guess all those anti data center signs I see all over the rural midwest were put there by Chinese operatives and the people just leave them there cause they're too lazy? So sick of all the constant lies

Crush the arts (Kennedy Center), destroy the civil service (DOGE), control elections (gestures broadly), dismantle the press (gestures more broadly), decimate science (NIH), and demolish education (DeptEd). The authoritarian playbook.

Oh sure, they can put "actor" in quotes when talking about a fake actor, but when it comes to the current "president"...

"Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in history that loves us so much he can't even breathe" -- in extremely culty scene, Trump has his supporters pledge to him that they will vote, then tells them they will "go to hell" if they don't Here's the full sequence:

A truly civilized culture would recognize that, after a certain amount of affluence, wealth is psychologically harmful. It's straight up empirically verified. But the myth feeds itself. We're all anxious in an effort to realize a generational chronic brain injury for others.

I love how this contradicts with the argument for the deportations - that migrants were stealing jobs from everyone else. Now the claim is that the jobs were created by migrants just as they are now gone with them.

Sales taxes? State income taxes? Municipality taxes? Students pay all of these in the state they go to school. Lots of flaws here

Tom Nichols@radiofreetom.bsky.social

Students should vote where they - or their parents - pay taxes. I use to ask Dartmouth students: "Who has a car?" Some hands go up. "Who registers their car in New Hampshire." The hands go down. "Vote where you registered your car."

These are the actions of an authoritarian state. Instead of investigating the agent who killed Alex Pretti, Trump's DHS conducted sweeping surveillance of Minnesota organizations that were peacefully standing up to this Administration's lawlessness. Despicable.

I am once again asking for the members of the press to only respond to the question of who they are with, with "The constitutionally guaranteed free press"

Q: You're talking about blowing up civilian power plants and bridges. Much of the civilized world would consider that a war crime. Do you? TRUMP: I won't respond to that question. Who are you with? Q: The New York Times TRUMP: I figured. The failing New York Times.
