I don't like tooting my own horn, but I am a great ape. I have written two books. The first was a novel. The second analyzed litigation challenging the 2020 election. Both were written using a pseudonym because of pervasive bias against gorillas.
@simiansilverback.bsky.socialDoes the article include any inaccuracies? I didn't find any. So, if inaccuracy is not the problem, your beef seems to be that the New York Times should report only happy news. Trump feels that way about Fox when it reports negative polling.
@simiansilverback.bsky.socialThis is what will happen, and what should have happened in all the lawsuits Trump filed:
Trump will not sit down for an under-oath examination by a skilled trial lawyer. But in a civil case refusal is not an option. The judge will dismiss, or Trump will dismiss.
@simiansilverback.bsky.socialIt bears remembering that GOP legislators raked Jack Smith over the coals because he lawfully obtained toll records showing whether they spoke with Trump on January 6. I do not expect them to object to the search of this legislator's house. Compare the privacy interests in each incident.
@simiansilverback.bsky.socialIt is true.

@simiansilverback.bsky.socialIt is well established that on at least two occasions Melania claimed a degree she did not come close to earning. However, her immigration application is confidential and as far as I know it has not been made public.
@simiansilverback.bsky.socialA little perspective: On August 7, 2025, Trump's IRS provided ICE with information on 47,289 taxpayers (undocumented aliens). That violated 26 U.S.C. § 6103. On January 29, 2026, Trump (relying on 26 U.S.C. § 6103) sued the IRS because a rogue contractor shared his information. See the problem?
@simiansilverback.bsky.socialExcellent article. Regarding the 690% claim: How many more officers are there? How many more enforcement actions? How many "in detention" assaults? How many assaults involve arrestees who claim that THEY were the ones assaulted? ICE seems to defend abuse claims by accusing their victims.
@simiansilverback.bsky.socialOnce again, the WSJ characterizes a disastrous and morally corrupt Trump decision as a "mistake" that might have been avoided if only he had better advisors.
God only knows how the poor man got stuck with so many stupid and ineffective advisors.
It must be a curse.
@simiansilverback.bsky.socialIn 2020 Biden thought the record turnout was for HIM, when it actually was against Trump. That hubris led to Trump getting elected in 2024. You now think Dems winning in 2026 will mean people are voting for the Biden policies that got Trump elected. Those who forget history will repeat it.
@simiansilverback.bsky.socialEveryone just relax. The Trump administration assures us that there is nothing to see here. Everything is under control.
Tech billionaires can be trusted to protect us. They promised.
And that promise is morally binding.
@simiansilverback.bsky.socialNew story of rich men giving Guilfoyle extravagant gifts. She uses her influence to steer business their way. And she documents it all. Explicit quid pro quo.
Is it bribery? Probably, but I bet tax evasion would be an easier case.
A Congressional hearing is in order.
@simiansilverback.bsky.socialMore like hiring David Carradine to teach Kung Fu.
@simiansilverback.bsky.socialThom Tillis says of Trump, "He has that potential, if he starts to recognize advice that he’s getting that I think is bad advice and won’t age well." Even Republicans who stand up to Trump treat him like the doting mother of a juvenile delinquent. "He's a good kid, but fell in with a bad crowd."
@simiansilverback.bsky.socialFolks who worry about what their children are seeing online should be really upset about this story.
@simiansilverback.bsky.socialThis is a hoax. The new owners fully cooperated with the investigation. There is no pickleball court.
@simiansilverback.bsky.socialThe public did not witness the execution of Rudolf Höss, the commandant of Auschwitz. Polish public executions ended after one that took on a carnival-like atmosphere. People brought their children.
You think kids won't watch Hegseth's livestream?
@simiansilverback.bsky.socialThe administration that thinks Jimmy Kimmel is too corrosive for public television wants to livestream a man getting shot to death.
@simiansilverback.bsky.socialIn this article, the WSJ, a paper that will not frankly address Trump's disastrous foreign policy, gushes over Rubio for the simple reason that in this one speech he doesn't sound like Trump. Lets us know the WSJ knows how bad Trump is but won't say because he lowers taxes for billionaires.
@simiansilverback.bsky.socialRich men routinely dump their wives for younger women. The men get elected president and the women get forgotten. That probably has something to do with it.
