We have a peculiar historical event shaping up where the oligarch billionaire class is about to fleece this country while most of their supporters are working people who are convinced that they are on their side because they hate migrants & trans people.

If you’re wondering if I had Donald Trump attacking me and MeidasTouch in court on my BINGO card, the answer is yes. He is a coward. He is a loser. This is what cowards and losers do. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Remember when Republicans had fainting spells over JUST Jen Psaki taking a job at MSNBC, decrying the apparent "revolving door" between the Dems and the network? Apparently that's disqualifying, but when it happens 10x as much on the right? Totally fine.

Trump trashed his own Cabinet nominees from his 1st term as weak, incompetent, losers. Blamed Deep State RINOs for recommending bad people, but said that THIS TIME he was REALLY going to appoint “all the best people.” Meanwhile, 2 have already washed out with Hegseth imploding.

President-elect Donald Trump is considering replacing Pete Hegseth as his pick for defense secretary with former primary rival Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as Hegseth faces growing doubts about his ability to earn confirmation in the Senate.

BREAKING: Trump has just nominated Peter Navarro as his Senior Trade Advisor again. From Prison to the White House. Usually that process happens in reverse for Trump appointees.

Make no mistake, if Desantis is nominated as the Sec of Defense — he will have no problem weaponizing the military to go after ‘enemies from within’, arrest political opponents, ban peaceful protests, round up immigrants and use military force against the American people.

So instead of using the standard for a US Secretary of Defense nominee, one of the most important jobs on planet earth, we have lowered the bar on Trump nominees to whether they could successfully complete a season of Celebrity Rehab.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

I wrote about how fighting Trump 2.0 will require disobedience from outside the government — and from within. Here’s one way to push back against Trump's authoritarian agenda.

It shouldn’t be ignored that Kash Patel chose to plead the Fifth in response to a grand jury subpoena over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents. He only testified, involuntarily, after being granted immunity. Think about that. Trump’s FBI nominee pled the Fifth in response to a DOJ subpoena.
