Now, I’m gonna go get ready for a gig tonight. Here’s a clip of me playing some Skynyrd with the boys in Richmond Hill at the jam last week. Have a great Saturday!
Also, Trump's bombshell claim that China accessed the voter registration information of 200 million Americans occurred in ... 2016.
Trump claimed DHS docs released tonight show 278,000 undocumented immigrants registered to vote nationwide. The DHS report itself doesn't even say that. Instead, it says 10,716 immigrants are registered to vote. The 278k number is only reached when adding dead people found on voter rolls.
Trump tells Americans to go to the White House website to check out the bombshell evidence of fraud in the 2020 election. Let's do that, shall we?
Duckworth is currently "investigating" claims of long lines during the June primary in Cherokee County. That complaint stemmed from — shocker — a Facebook comment. After saying he wouldn't speak to me Duckworth told me about his investigation there and a whole lot else.
Like most boomer election deniers, Larry couldn’t help himself from talking to me even though he said he wouldn’t, telling me how stupid I am and how he’s “bipartisan” during a 17-minute phone conversation. Here’s his Facebook page. www.american-doom.com/p/meet-georg...
If you appreciated that Ossoff-Clayton exchange yesterday, you’re gonna love this back-and-forth between me and the Georgia state election board’s new “investigator,” Larry Duckworth.
Things are going really well at the Fulton County election board meeting, where a believer of Trump's election lies just held up an adult diaper and said "shit is going to hit the fan," adding that the FBI is going to arrest them all.
Here's who is not profiting: the many, many investors who lost $2.8b on Trump's crypto scams. Trump's profits from those investments? About $2.8b.

This is exactly the type of stuff I’m talking about. Remember when we’d excoriate people for doing stuff like this? Now it’s just a Tuesday!
Today’s @americandoom.bsky.social: the consequences of November must include a return of the concept of shame. Remember that? open.substack.com/pub/justingl...
Just got copies of my book in the mail. I will not be reading it for obvious reasons but you should! Pre-order here and get 30 percent off with the code 08TERRIBLE www.ugapress.org/978158838573...
As with all detainee deaths, this is how ICE frames the death of Paktiawal, who is effectively a military veteran who aided our special forces in Afghanistan: “Criminal illegal alien” dies.
In other news, the first review of my book for @ugapress.bsky.social is out, courtesy @rachelwrighting.com. Really humbling to be mentioned in the same breath as a writer and reporter like @tomjunod.bsky.social Read it at Arts ATL: www.artsatl.org/the-2026-spr...
The reason the Trump administration has done things like kick reputable outlets out of Pentagon briefings is because the broader American right simply does not accept any framing of facts and narratives that they do not like. See: ICE press releases on detainee deaths.
One of the biggest "ifs" in the history of Justice Department affidavits. Every claim in this affidavit has been investigated and litigated. No wrongdoing has been determined.
Here is an FBI agent citing the SEB's Janelle King about absentee ballots she believes — without really being able to say why — were fraudulent.
The president, on false election fraud claims and Tina Peters before apparently getting sidetracked by his own mind.
The list of information the Department of Homeland Security demanded of a naturalized citizen who simply wrote a letter to a DOJ official objecting to the deportation of Afghan asylum seekers: www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...
There’s been reasonable speculation that the agent who took Pretti’s inadvertently discharged it. Considering that, this comment by Trump tonight to the WSJ seems pertinent.
Whether tear gas smoke, blowing snow or exhaust fumes, it doesn’t get more Midwest than this.
Meantime, an eagle-eyed Doom reader (and presumably Peorian) reminded me that I went to high school with Good's killer. His family lived right down the street from my childhood home. More on this later. Bizarre stuff.
I thought of Samuel DuBose when I saw Renee Good’s killing. In both cases, law enforcement claiming lethal threat from someone driving away. In Good’s case, an unnecessary killing based on growing American fascism. Today’s @americandoom.bsky.social: www.american-doom.com/p/all-the-wa...
DHS says the agents were in fear for their lives. Here is Renee Good *waving through* an ICE vehicle that passes her by without incident. Then other agents get out, issue contradictory commands, and kill her.
The agent fires before the vehicle bumps up against him (and after he put himself *in front* of the vehicle), then shoots against DHS protocol (toward other officers) and without considering path of vehicle.
Nothing says being in fear for your life like having your phone out to get the content while your gun is still holstered.
