I've been looking at the #NickiMinaj thing through a much darker lens. Is she performing for #Krasnov under duress? To avoid being deported? Or is she trading her brand to get Pardons for her convicted rapist family members? These darker options are not mutually exclusive.

I appreciate the #IsTrumpGay speculation has been focused on his obsession with #JohnHusted 's backside. And point taken. But, if you can stomach it, listening to him sexually self-sooth by discussing home decorations, drapery, crown molding, and watching plasterers work moves the needle further.

Incredible — Trump tries to self-soothe about Obama’s Cheesecake Factory Line clearly hurting his feelings… for 2 full minutes 😬

Sure. On the screen you got to watch it do a bunch of crazy things. That's not the scary part folks. Do you know what it actually recorded in memory? No. You don't. Only the programmer knows. #handmarkedpaperballots please.

He fails specifically on 'detainees'. Had she used 'prisoner' (wrongly) instead, it might have clicked in his toddler brain. My bet: never *ever* in his life has he used/spoken the word 'detainees' himself. Phillip Roth: "He has a 77-word vocabulary." (Art-of-the-Deal co-author: "200 words")

Apparently, Trump forgot cameras exist. The Liar-in-Chief is doing a rally in Michigan today, so the contrast will be even more obvious. Oops.

The Tell. Crowd size. Skip to the animation of the audience.

Haha. Trump missed his vocation. A fiction writer. With a ghost writer to transcribe, of course.

Racism-a-go-go at Trump’s Michigan rally tonight: “If Abdul and the Democrats win, they will open the floodgates and invite hordes of jihadists to our shores, creating a nightmare of violence and terror until you cannot even have a Christmas.”

Got an email today from a former graduate student who fled her home in Afghanistan in 2021, coming to the U.S. to study journalism. She always struck me as one of the bravest people I ever met, and her message carried the proof: she has become an American citizen & wants to serve her new nation.

Trump says Alaska’s ballot is illegal because people don’t know what “incumbent” means

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

Here’s the relevant language in the DOJ lawsuit. It asks for the election not to be certified if Peltola’s margin of victory is smaller than the number of votes cast for the third-party Sullivan. (I expect this to be laughed out of court.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?
