My new book "American Psychosis" hits on 9/13. This rollicking history of the GOP's decades-long relationship with far-right extremism provides the perfect context for the debate on the Republican Party, Trumpism, & fascism. Please order now & RT this.

It’s also grift.
"The UFC event captures something about this moment in our history.
After all, it’s vulgar, it’s violent, it’s commercial, it’s grandiose, it’s tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump."

Wait, is this for real? Trump spent $60 million of our taxpayer funds to host a UFC fight and then is selling UFC coin to line his family’s pockets. The Trump corruption swamp is a mile deep. cnn.com/2026/06/09/politics/…

I missed the History Channel documentary on how FDR negotiated the end of WWII with Hitler.
The Vice President of the United States thinks WWII ended through a negotiation

Claude, how long will it take to count to a trillion?
Short answer: about 31,700 years if you could somehow say one number per second, nonstop, day and night, forever — but realistically far longer, because the assumptions fall apart fast.

A nugget buried in the big NYT piece on how the Trump White House had an internal freak-out over the Epstein case....If Bondi didn't use DOJ email, what did she use? I recall a time when the right (and the NYT) went ballistic over a Cabinet official's use of non-gov't email.

Things Lindsay Graham has called Donald Trump:
“Demagogue”
“The world’s biggest jackass”
“Race-baiting xenophobic religious bigot”
Jun 10
Lindsey Graham, in his victory speech, compares President Trump to God and says, "Mr. President, you're not far behind God."
"Mr. President, you're not far behind God."
South Carolina has been electing Lindsey Graham since 2003.

The hypocrisy is so big they cannot see it?
Kellyanne: Is there any number of scandals that would make you stop? Putting on with women that are not your wife? Would it be the lying? Would it be insulting heroes? Is power really worth that to you?

NEW: Putting aside the $1.8 billion slush fund Trump tried to set up, the whole "weaponization" claim is utter bullshit. I explain in the latest issue of my OUR LAND newsletter. Give it a read.

He's part of the cover-up!!!!!
Republican Steve Hilton breaks with Trump’s baseless claims of a “rigged” election in California: “We’ve been very vigilant… we’ve seen nothing that would give us cause to intervene.”

Jared Kushner’s leading role in the bungled negotiations makes him complicit in what, by most accounts, has been a costly and humiliating defeat for the administration—and for the nation.
Check out our latest cover story: tinyurl.com/7feeb4hw
ALT Cover of Mother Jones, featuring a baby Jared Kushner swimming after a dollar with the headline Nevermind the Corruption: How nepo baby Jared Kushner is selling America out.

Last night they tested the UFC stage lighting at the White House. Check it out.
The People’s House is looking more like a Six Flags amusement park after dark. It’s embarrassing.

Hey everybody, I just found Vance's audition tape for the position of Kim Jong Un spokesperson.
Vance on Midterms: I think we have a great chance because the president has delivered on so many of his promises.

Why keep asking him? He tried to overturn an election and subvert American democracy. And that means he could try to do it again with this midterm or 2028.

Ok I hate the “stolen election” stuff from the president BUT why keep asking him? It’s not exactly news that he thinks it’s stolen. The question seems performative, merely to elicit the reaction he delivered

Camel, elephant, lion....No, that won't cut it. This guy is unhinged and divorced from reality. Be afraid.

WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged
"You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her."
"I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads.
