Peter Rothpletz on Donald Trump's brazen push to secure a 3rd (forever?) term, the White House's transformation into a Saddam Hussein-style palace, and the bombshell NBA gambling indictments.
I'm enjoying the crisp newsletter, and getting the hang of the humour. Love the trivia questions. Remark: technically scar was killed by the hyenas, after the fall 😉
Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo wrote 10/22/25: “[H]ow do you top ordering your appointees to cut you a check for $230 million taxpayer dollars…(maybe illegally bulldozing a big chunk of the White House?)
Why Trump’s $230 million shakedown of DOJ is so appallingly corrupt—and what the heist says about MAGA’s goal of impunity for escalating lawbreaking.
To effectively defend our country from any attempt by Trump to believe he will have a third term, the left needs to understand exactly how MAGAPublicans believe they can accomplish this and start taking aggressive action against it. Can Zeteo provide some insight into their likely strategies?
Thank you for the newsletter. In a couple of the newsletters, including today’s, there have been notes of articles by Asawin Suebsaeng but there was not a link included to the article. I searched Zeteo posts on Substack and the website and could not find the article. Would it be possible to provide a link to the article?
I am enjoying this new morning newsletter. Thank you Mehdi & team

As I keep saying, "If Trump's still breathing, he's not leaving."

First Draft needs to be shorter and more concise and factual
