fwiw, I don't think brooks is really confused. I think he's committed to white supremacy and dislikes it being criticized bluntly.

This report from the New York Federal Reserve just found that without Trump’s tariffs, the cost of many everyday items would have gone DOWN in the last year. Instead, as we all know, prices have shot up. Trump is choosing to make your life more expensive.

Inflation on many everyday items was entirely due to tariffs, NY Fed says
Tariffs added 2.9 percentage points to inflation in 67 categories of goods by February 2026, researchers at the New York Federal Reserve found.

Not only should brooks and others shut up. But Ossoff is the best example in the country of a Democrat playing dominance politics and using it to control the whole terms of his race.

Right, it turns out that instead of letting the Republicans set the terms of the debate, you can simply tell them and their enablers in the media to cram it. El-Sayed has been doing the same thing. It's long overdue.

This is what happens when you elevate “civil discourse” to be the greatest good. All of the sudden, it’s worse to call someone a Nazi than it is to be a Nazi.

Can anyone name a single thing David Brooks has been right about (with the exception of understanding that being a duplicitous little quisling poodle for fascist monsters pays well and keeps him in the club)?

Sure but not explicitly. He's making it explicit in a way he has not previously because of how much support Ukraine has in congress. But he's about to be a lame duck so shooting his shots.

The Republican Party is chock full of Nazis. The government has Nazis in senior administration positions. The Republican Party’s largest donor is a neo-Nazi. David Brooks might not want to admit it, but that’s why it’s long past time for him to shut up.

Russian bot traffic has dropped to nearly 0 after Ukraine struck a Yandex data center in Vladimir, Russia
• Source Network: AS13238 YANDEX – Yandex LLC (Russian Federation)
• Traffic Breakdown: Prior to the drop, bot traffic accounted for roughly 99.6% of requests compared to 0.4% human traffic.
• Event Cause: The sudden plunge to zero on October 11, 2026, corresponds to a reported military/drone attack on Yandex's data center facility in Vladimir, Russia—marking the third reported attack on Yandex data infrastructure since October 8.

This is a truly grotesque "trial" of a vaccine known to be safe and effective. It will in practice randomly withhold that treatment from a percentage of children to see what happens. It is absolutely the reverse of good practice.
