“the most openly corrupt president in American history“
Almost too perfect quote from the lecture transcript:
"What interests me is not left versus right, it's courage versus cowardice, virtue versus vice. And the truth is, the decay is everywhere. The moral rot runs deep across elite
institutions of every stripe."

President Trump's refusal to share the legal justification for his airstrikes on civilian boats at sea is shocking, but not unprecedented. For too long, both parties have looked the other way as presidents abuse their power and evade accountability.
From Secret Law (2001-2024) to None at All (2025-present)
The Trump administration's lethal strikes are the apotheosis of the last quarter century's often always secret and often unreviewable executive branch legal reasoning.

Trump would have trouble just spelling “IQ”.
This is a much-deserved PR disaster for McDonald’s. Somebody there had the bright idea to platform a guy polling just slightly better than “butt warts.”
McDonald’s new jingle can be: “🎶I’m lovin’ it! (Authoritarianism!)🎶”

There is a quote often attributed to the late Representative John Dingell: “We already have a national healthcare plan. It’s called Medicare.”

GOP plans to replace Obamacare have failed. Here’s what lawmakers propose now.
Lawmakers are racing toward a mid-December deadline, with Republicans hoping to present side-by-side legislation with Democrats’ plan to extend ACA subsidies.

That’s the result to expect when they cut the price of Ozempic by 1500 percent!
If he is saying billion, with a B, that's about 400 pounds per person, which seems like an unhealthy amount of weight to lose. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Simply put, none of this is true. In tomorrow's column I note the average price of gas is more than $3/gallon, not close to $2, but whatever. And the Walmart Thanksgiving thing has already been repeatedly debunked. This is a rambling loon living in a made-up world where others tell him fake things.
Trump: "I don't want to hear about the affordability, because right now we're much less. If you look at energy, we're getting close to $2 a gallon gasoline."
