Trump lies about the Associated Press (AP)

He lost the case.

The AP pushes back:"In fact, the AP won its case against Trump, but the president successfully earned a delay in getting the ruling enforced before the U.S. Court of Appeals considers the issue. Arguments on the president's appeal are scheduled for November."apnews.com/article/ap-t…

OVERLOOKED: Trump praised judge/his ruling in case over AP being kicked out of White House pool. Called Judge Trevor McFadden (his own appointee, Trump DOJ atty, Colloton clerk) "somewhat liberal." McFadden found WH 'brazen' move violated AP's 1A rights http://www.politico.com/news/2025/04…

Trump telling warfighters about his war with The AP: "We won in court. How bout that? Isn't that so cool?"

Trump: "We got sued by the Associated Press, and they lost. In fact, the judge was so good he said, 'He's calling it the Gulf of America. He's got all the approvals' … they got thrown out of court. In fact, they're almost not allowed to cover me anymore because of that. It was a big hit."

A Trump coin would be illegal

This administration doesn’t care and nobody will stop them.

It is not clear that Mr. Trump’s image can be featured on a coin. An 1866 law enshrined a tradition that only deceased people could appear on U.S. currency to avoid the appearance that America was a monarchy. Trump admin is planning to do it anyway.By Alan Rappeportwww.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/b…

The only thing I can conclude from this is that the U.S. Treasury Dept. is planning on doing something pretty drastic to ensure they comply with U.S. code.

Thomas Pynchon’s “Low-lands”

I have been thinking about Thomas Pynchon a lot recently since his new novel will be released on Tuesday, October 7th,

Here are the front and back covers of a literary magazine, New World Writing, from 1960 that included Pynchon’s “Low-lands”. The story was later included in his 1984 collection Slow Learner. The story includes the character Pig Bodine who also appears in Pynchon’s novels V. and Gravity’s Rainbow.
