There is an excellent reference called The Civil War Day by Day, a detailed register of episodes from Fort Sumter to Appomattox.
Someday there will be an equivalent for this administration. It will be America's shameful Gibbonesque chronicle, a book of darkness and deep sorrow.

Not so sure about blackballing via "watchlist," but I think it's worth at least considering that DEI as a discrete entity/career is questionable in multiple vectors. Surely these people have skills that translate to fields whose track records are not as, shall we say, checkered.
The political pendulum is swinging too far in the other direction.
This DEI Watchlist leaves no room for redemption. Murderers get 2nd chances. Why can't DEI professionals.
Is this progress or the same illiberalism wearing a different Jersey?

What a betrayal. The US is not good to its word.
Breaking News: The Trump administration has detained dozens of Afghan immigrants in Louisiana — including relatives of those who helped the U.S. military — and plans to deport them to Afghanistan, according to U.S. officials. nyti.ms/4jPVvrw
"Fraudulent" and "likely" bearing the weight here of all of the muscular male asses on President Rip Van Winkle's wish list
Apparently, "not holding back" means advocating for a fraudulent and likely illegal plot to deceive voters (while denying the obvious); then yes.
There are people who took a principled stand against Trump. And then some people threw out all their principles and standards, and now just define their entire political existence by the need to justify anything as long as it is in opposition to Trump and Republicans.

Every month, I get the table of contents from the flagship journal of the American Psychological Association @APA, the American Psychologist, and feel such sadness about how it used to be one of the biggest accomplishments to be published there, because every article was important.
Now it is completely devoid of innovation or even good science. It is nonstop identity politics drivel. I barely know anyone who is a member anymore. @Hartz_PhD @SwipeWright @OTI_USA
"Having to run" suggests a lack of grip on reality that should be disqualifying for any office of this importance.
Darline Graham admits she doesn’t want to be a US Senator and blames her dead brother for putting her in the position of having to run: “When I get to heaven one day, I am just going to choke Lindsey.” nytimes.com/2026/10/30/us/da…
Screw that: REAL PEARLS FOR @TIMODC
I call on @ClayTravis to make his one million dollar lost bet payable to Catholic Charities Nashville.
They lost 75% of their federal grants during the Trump Administration.
They’re a source of hope, love, and healing for so many struggling in this city, and they need all the support they can have.
I get that bad news always gets dumped on Fridays (or the weekend proper), but this is very curious timing when the GOP is already swamped by chaos and discord days before an election in which they're going to get their asses handed to them (which Trump will personally inspect).
So, the *inflation-adjusted* loss in the 1929 stock market crash was . . . about a third of the amount wiped out today. 🙃
I've also sold items on eBay to Michiko Kakutani, Mark Mothersbaugh, Jay Yuenger, Victor Garber, Gary Portnoy (composer of "Cheers" theme), AbEx artist Kenneth Noland (I asked for a drawing in lieu of payment!), Simpsons producer Richard Sakai, and Chris Sununu (before governor).
Went to a 2008 NH Hillary event (Dem primary), got a spot in the greeting line, pulled out a baseball for her to sign, Secret Service agent told me to put it away (potential projectile). When she got close I whipped it out anyway and she laughed, then signed. (Later sold for 💰.)
If you're wondering about the baseball: A work colleague, a longtime in-person collector, advised that signed baseballs, even from "civilians," have a premium for collectors over more common photos, books, etc. I was gonna have her sign a $5 bill but one of her people said no.
This is genuinely awful, but I have to confess to using a Sharpie to draw a ring around one eye of the yellow Labrador retriever I grew up with to make him Petey from Our Gang for Halloween.
Anyone who thinks that this is a real comparison should listen to the AI "completion" of Beethoven's 10th—some of the most embarrassing dogshit I've ever heard: flat-footed, dry, and at times outright illogical, incompetent, and aggressively unmusical. (Link in replies)
