“Ha ha Jack Smith likes women’s basketball, how gay” was actually submitted by an 11 year old son of a staff member who was at work with his dad today while serving his suspension from school. They initially didn’t want to use it, but 5 hours later no one had proposed anything better.

I wrote about who is actually making America “poorer and dirtier.” It’s not immigrants. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Who is responsible for this terrible state of affairs? The opposition party and immigrants, apparently. Vance went on to say, “The Democrat legacy of the last few years was that they bankrupted our country and left us poor. They left our country weaker. They left our border wide open and our communities less safe.”

But this account represents a preposterous inversion. Almost every problem Vance lists, the Trump administration has made worse.

The administration’s environmental policies have made American water and air dirtier. Its health-care, tariff, and tax policies have worsened inflation and increased the financial burden on most American households, even as incomes have grown. And its public-health policies have led to outbreaks of contagious disease.

Yes! Act accordingly! There is still a strain in Dem thinking that is colored by the idea that Trump tapped into something Real that can't be ignored. Time to get over that.

The Trump DOJ lied about the SPLC's role in Charlottesville. Using informant-provided info, the SPLC handed the FBI a 45-page "Event Alert," including names, photos, associates and criminal histories of the rallygoers—and their "weapons of choice," per a new filing. Background buff.ly/AwMBRNa
The SPLC used the informant program to gather voluminous and detailed information about the risk of violence at Charlottesville. That information was
memorialized and provided to law enforcement, including to the FBI’s Mobile,
Alabama office—the very office leading the investigation of this case—in advance
of the rally in the form of a 45-page “Event Alert.” That document warned the FBI
of the specific individuals likely to attend the rally and foment violence, providing not only names and pictures, but specific details about associates, backgrounds, and criminal histories. For some of the individuals identified in this Event Alert, the SPLC even provided details about those individuals’ weapons of choice based on intelligence gathered through the informant program.
