The explosion of MAGA rage at birthright citizenship ruling confirms again that MAGA is really a movement for ethnic cleansing. As we discuss on the pod, it's telling that sealed border and end to TPS/asylum don't sate MAGA. They want dramatic ethnic purges. Listen: newrepublic.com/article/2125...

Here's the argument: MAGA can't accept a sealed border, an end to TPS/asylum, and the closing of other legal pathways as success. Their movement isn’t really about securing the border. It’s about ethnically cleansing the country. My exchange with Raul Pinto on this: newrepublic.com/article/2125...

The fact that the 14th amendment decision was only 5-4 should send shockwaves through polite society. If you give these guys one more crack at it they will rewrite the constitution in its entirety to turn this country into a white male Christian dictatorship and claim the Constitution says it's so.

A detailed, symbolic painting inspired by the movie "Pulp Fiction," featuring Samuel L. Jackson's character depicted as a Jesus-like figure with a glowing halo and radiant hands, blessing a sick man lying in a hospital bed. Surrounding them are other characters from the film—John Travolta and Uma Thurman—both praying, and a nurse and another man watching solemnly. Above, three cherubic angels with the faces of other "Pulp Fiction" characters float in the sky. The background includes iconic American symbols such as the U.S. Capitol, the Statue of Liberty, an American flag, flying bald eagles, military jets, and fireworks, blending religious imagery with patriotic and cinematic elements.

The new report on FBI Director Kash Patel cites more than TWO DOZEN sources describing his leadership as a “management failure” and national security risk. The White House and DOJ didn’t deny the allegations, but deflected. Patel was the only one who issued a direct rebuttal. That speaks volumes.

Brian Stelter v @brianstelter
A second memo from Bari Weiss and Tom Cibrowski says CBS News Radio is shutting down. Here's the memo:
Today, we informed our CBS News Radio team and approximately 700 affiliated stations that we will end the service on May 22, 2026.
Unfortunately, this decision means that all positions within the CBS News Radio team are being eliminated. We understand how difficult this news is for our staff and their colleagues, who have worked side by side with us to cover some of the most significant stories of our time.
While this was a necessary decision, it was not an easy one. A shift in radio station programming strategies, coupled with challenging economic realities, has made it impossible to continue the service. We are sharing this announcement now to fulfill our commitments to our radio partners and affiliates, which require advance notice of the service's conclusion.
For nearly 100 years, CBS News Radio has delivered original reporting to the nation-from Edward R. Murrow's World War II reports in London to today's daily White House updates. Our signature broadcast, "World News Roundup," remains the longest-running newscast in the country.
CBS News Radio served as the foundation for everything we have built since 1927.
The coming weeks will be difficult for the team members who have worked tirelessly at CBS News Radio. We are committed to supporting these valued colleagues with care and respect as we wind down operations. They have been critical to our success and remain treasured friends and professionals. We thank them deeply for their contributions.
Thank you all for your dedication and for the compassion you show one another as we move forward.
Bari and Tom

This is what the White House and our commander-in-chief are concentrating their time on today -- attacking and threatening non-MAGA media for the way it is covering Trump's illegal war of choice against Iran.
CNN Is Lying to Undermine Operation Epic Fury’s Crushing Success
Fake News CNN is at it again. While U.S. forces deliver crushing blows to obliterate Iran’s terrorist regime, CNN’s hack “journalists” are peddling Democrat-sourced fiction to undermine our decisive victories in Operation Epic Fury.
CNN alleged the Pentagon and the National Security Council “did not plan” for Iran’s willingness to close the Strait of Hormuz.
Wrong. As Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has made crystal clear, the military has planned for this exact contingency for decades. Operation Epic Fury is deliberately designed to annihilate Iran’s navy, missiles, drones, and launch capabilities precisely to eliminate any meaningful threat to global shipping lanes like the Strait of Hormuz — and thanks to President Trump’s commitment to energy dominance, America is fully prepared to crush short-term disruption and emerge stronger than ever.Maggot Hagerman, just another SLEAZEBAG writer for The Failing New York Times, insists on writing false stories about me, even though she fully knows and understands that the exact opposite of anything she says is usually the truth. In any event, I’m thinking of adding Maggot, and some of her “associates,” into my Florida based Lawsuit against The Times which, very happily, seems to be proceeding nicely. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT
