Possibly the least self-aware people who voted in the presidential election (or maybe Latinos who will now see their relatives deported), Muslims who voted for Trump are now realizing too late what an incredibly poor choice they've just made. Source: Reuters US Muslim leaders who supported Republican Donald Trump to protest against the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza and attacks on Lebanon have been deeply disappointed by his cabinet picks, they tell Reuters. “Trump won because of us and we’re not happy with his Secretary of State pick and others,” says Rabiul Chowdhury, a Philadelphia investor who chaired the Abandon Harris campaign in Pennsylvania and co-founded Muslims for Trump.

Trump's nominee to run the Department of Defense, the eminently qualified weekend FOX News anchor, Pete Hegseth, is under increased scrutiny just says after he was nominated. Why, you ask?

Donald Trump has created an outside advisory department called "Department of Government Efficiency", which will be run by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. The purpose?

Senate Republicans on Wednesday elected Sen. John Thune of South Dakota—a former corporate lobbyist and close ally of Sen. Mitch McConnell—as the leader of their conference for the upcoming term, when the GOP will have a 53-seat majority. Republican lawmakers chose Thune over Sens.

We may all be gnashing our teeth over The New York Times sanewashing Donald Trump. But as far the very thin-skinned felon and his band of First Amendment-hating legal toadies are concerned, the paper’s coverage as well as a Penguin Random House book written by two Times authors have defamed him to the tune of $10 billion. From Columbia Journalism Review: [The letter demanding $10 billion] singles out two stories coauthored by Buettner and Craig that related to their book on Trump and his financial dealings, Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success, released on September 17.

Pardoned felon Michael Flynn said he would work in the Trump administration if Tulsi Gabbard asked him to. Flynn spent his time with his evangelical extreme religious right group called ReAwaken America, spouting crap like Christianity should be at the center of American life and institutions. Frontline reports,"The tour serves as a traveling roadshow and recruiting tool for an ascendant Christian nationalist movement that’s wrapped itself in God, patriotism and politics and has grown in power and influence inside the Republican Party." Flynn joined Steven the traitor Bannon on his sedition podcast. BANNON: Would you be open to be her deputy or some sort of special assistant, at least for the first year, to make sure that she goes through the wilderness of mirrors? FLYNN: Yeah, because part of, you know, so the answer is yes, but the part of this too, and this is what I told Vivek, okay, just briefly, that these people, government, they know how to hide, right?
