Welcome to Deep State Club
The deep state Trump keeps screaming about? It’s just competent people doing their jobs. But Trump’s ACTUAL corrupt inner circle? That’s what we’re tracking here.
I’ve been watching this con man since the 1970s when he was just a sleazy New York real estate developer stiffing contractors and dodging taxes. Now he’s back in the White House doing the same shit on a global scale, and I’m not letting him get away with it quietly.
Here’s the problem: There’s too much corruption to track. Every day brings five new outrages. Most people don’t have time to follow it all, so they tune out. And Trump counts on that. He floods the zone with so much criminality that we all get numb.
Here’s the solution: Deep State Club does the work for you.
I follow all the shit Trump is doing—the corruption, the icky pardons, the grift, the lies, the constitutional violations, the petty cruelties—and I distill it down into quick, digestible updates. A few minutes on this site or reading my newsletter, and you’ll know the worst of what happened this week. No hours of YouTube doomscrolling required.
What you’ll find here:
- Corruption tracking – Follow the money, the conflicts of interest, the self-dealing
- Pardon watch – Who’s getting let off the hook and why it matters
- Constitutional violations – Keeping score of every norm he breaks
- The cruelty – Because it’s always the point
- Mockery – Because these people are ridiculous and deserve to be laughed at
Why mockery matters: Authoritarians can’t stand being laughed at. They want you afraid or angry or exhausted. Mockery deflates them. So yes, we’re tracking serious corruption, but we’re also having fun exposing how absurd these people are.
The goal: Keep you informed without burning you out. Get you pissed off enough to stay engaged. Give you the ammunition you need to talk to your still-Trump-supporting uncle at Christmas.
I’m furious. You should be too. But you shouldn’t have to quit your job to stay informed.
That’s what Deep State Club is for.
Sign up for the newsletter. Stay informed. Stay angry. Stay engaged.
