A year-end special from me:

The 25 Worst Villains of the Trump Admin, in ranking order. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

This most difficult part of this exercise was only picking 25.

I’m sure some of you have someone in mind that I may have missed, but these are my worst in ranking order based on covering the toxic Trump admin every day. I also included only appointments by Trump - so JD Vance is exempted even though he would definitely be in the Top 3 otherwise.

Tomorrow, I will begin my list of the ‘500 Worst Things Trump Did in 2025’, with my first 100 in chronological order beginning with things he did in January 2025 and continuing to present. Thank you to everyone who reads, shares and subscribes to my work. If you missed my last ‘Today in Politics’ daily Bulletin, you can find it here.

Now, on to the worst of the worst …

#25. JAMES BLAIR.
#24. DOUG BURGUM.
#23. DOUG COLLINS.
#22. KEVIN HASSETT.
#21. LINDA MCMAHON.
#20. BROOKE ROLLINS.
#19. TULSI GABBARD.
#18. BRENDAN CARR.
#1 7. LEE ZELDIN.
#16. ELBRIDGE COLBY.
#15. KASH PATEL.
#14. SEAN DUFFY.
#13. PAM BONDI. The only reason why I don’t have Bondi higher on the list is because Todd Blanche is really running DOJ and most of the truly evil stuff comes from him. Nevertheless, Bondi is wretched as well. She claimed that she had a “list” of Epstein clients “on her desk,” then later said it doesn’t exist. She invited right-wing social media influencers to the WH where they were given Epstein binders that were nothing more than previously released materials. She refused to release additional files despite being compelled by law. Her deputies and assistants have repeatedly lied to federal courts on many issues - most notably deportation cases. The list of abuses by DOJ under Bondi is endless, with fresh outrages committed daily. A straw poll taken at last week’s Turning Point event of MAGA fans ranked Bondi as the most unpopular Trump admin official for her incompetence and lies. Even Trump’s own followers have had enough of Bondi.

1. Great article! Just a little tip for the URL:

It's easy to not notice this but often times when we share URLs they contain tracking information. Let's break down the parameters (things after the question mark) that are included in the URL:

?r=9qw74
Likely some kind of session ID or unique code. It's used to identify where it was originally shared from. For example if I were posting to multiple platforms I could use a unique number or string and then learn where people got the link originally from.

shareImageVariant=overlay
Nothing much here. Actually I'm a little unsure on this one. It seems to mean that you clicked on a link on top of an image.


triedRedirect=true
Came from a different URL.


We can remove all these things and the link will still work fine.

This is just a little nitpicky thing and for them it doesn't matter as much. I would recommend removing &si=(id) from YouTube links and igshid from Instagram links.

2. It's a Who's Who of the shittiest Americans to ever exist.

3. It's not far from a 25-way tie -- they're all filled with hate, evil, ignorance, and incompetence.

Only the proportions vary.

4. You are right.

There are also far more than the 25 listed. Hell, we can add 6 SCOTUS to that number as well.

5. The main problem is, how do you pick the 25?

There must be several hundred as bad as those.
