This is what every media outlet should do - publish Trump rants verbatim, word-for-word. Not sanewash, like a certain newspaper of record.
I think it's bad that the president's brain is mush. time.com/article/2026...

jesus christ what an asshole. Watch this and be angry at this absolute fucking tool and his petty but unfortunately so powerful prejudices.
Hegseth: "It's worth saying again so the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that -- no fatties no trannies no beardos no weirdos no wimps no radicals. Just warriors."

There’s some BS around Christine Drazan that deserves scrutiny.
Rebecca Wright was Drazan’s 2022 deputy campaign manager. Wright later became prez of Drazan’s nonprofit, A New Direction.
She then became deputy COS to Labor Sec Chavez-DeRemer. #drazan

1. Jay Feely, a former NFL kicker and a GOP candidate for Congress in Arizona, has made “protecting women’s sports” a centerpiece of his election campaign.
So I reviewed years of Feely’s podcast appearances to see what he actually thinks about female athletes.

1. The thing about Donald Trump is that he's bad at being president. I don't mean tyrannical or fascist or criminal or corrupt. Those adjectives obviously apply, but I mean *just plain bad*.

Desperate autocrats engage in desperate behaviors—and that is exactly what Trump is doing now. His tricks are in line with those of other desperate autocrats, but they are worth calling out and paying attention to.
Remember that autocrats fear you and fear the power you express by voting.
