A progressive daily ledger of Trump-world self-owns, legal pain, policy blowback, and bad-faith chaos.

This edition is the complete daily record. Reports remain separate so readers can see each claim, source set, correction, and update without one article being mislabeled as the entire edition.
The throughline here is simple: when Trumpworld has to choose between the applause line and the sworn statement, the sworn statement usually wins the fight. That’s bad news for the mythology and worse news for the people still expected to litigate it.

5 stars means maximum fallout. 1 star means a smaller self-own.
In a Maricopa County hearing on November 12, 2020, Trump campaign lawyer Kory Langhofer told the judge the campaign was not alleging fraud and was not saying anyone was stealing the election. The remark narrowed the legal theory in that case, even as Trump kept using much broader language in public.
Fresh postmortem material on November 12 made clear that Trump’s election-fraud claims had already been battered in courts and by election officials. The story Trump still sold to his base was looking less like a legal theory and more like a loyalty test.
