Public execution of a violent jihadist will inspire more violent jihadists. Learn why and join us on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/thefrank...

there are plenty of worthwhile things to push Democrats to be better on but "do not try to raise more money to take advantage of a generational opportunity to pick up seats in dark red districts" is a braindead hill to die on. you will not be successful & will hurt your credibility in better fights.

I'd be curious to see what happens immediately before that video; I wish the NYPD had made that public as well. But I have to say... on initial view, that looks indistinguishable from a carjacking, and if I'd been the driver I would also probably have floored it.

Hard to overstate how much Hegseth's execution stream mirrors the U.S. military's traditional description of ISIS propaganda: broadcast killings designed to send a message, strike fear and create a social media spectacle. Will almost certainly be repurposed by online terror cells

“His words are dangerous and incite hostility” seems like it’d more applicable to Trump calling on Minnesotans to “fight back” against their Somali-American neighbors.

Great piece by Lisa Needham for Aaron Rupar’s Public Notice: Trump meme coin investors, including rich foreigners, have lost $3.81 billion but gained an opportunity to bribe the president of the United States. It’s mindblowingly corrupt.

Re: Ossoff, base Dems are desperately thirsty for a candidate who is as outraged as we are and will express that outrage in plain language. That is going to end up mattering more than ideological or legislative litmus tests.

For being a guy hung up on fighting jihadists, Hegseth really doesn't have a clue how actual jihadists think. This is the greatest gift he could give him.

Something I've found completely galling from wide sections of the left is that Ken Martin is doing exactly what they have long advocated for at the DNC--democratization, decentralization, robust local investments--but they don't actually care because they think it's more fun to just crap on things.

Trump needs to "confer" with his lawyer, so arguments to reverse Judge Cannon on the Mar-a-Lago report can't happen before the election, a filing claimed.

Again, you can always detect some faint embarrassment from Democrats when they talk about the ballroom, but “the president demolished a big part of the White House to build himself a palace with bribes from enemy powers” is, by an order of magnitude, the worst corruption scandal in US history

So what if you just want to serve your country in the military now and don’t want Christian nationalism shoved down your throat and pushed on you by military leadership? I guess you are out of luck. Because that was our military for the entire history of the country until now.

Laugh at Eric Schmitt and Co. for Hawkeyes/Hawks, sure. Their screw up is funny and they deserve the mockery. But also, this was the GOP and allied media geared up to defend a coup attempt with lies and jail a prosecutor because he tried to enforce the law against a criminal. How far we've fallen.
