I live in Illinois but next to STL. My state rep and state senator are republicans but you would never know that from their signage and their webpages. They have scrubbed the words Republican and trump from their websites.

I think it’s fair to say that the student journalists at Cornell are braver than the news networks who just gave up on their WH pool ban even though CNN is still being denied access. www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

EDITORIAL | Cornell Won’t, We Will
The Editorial Board demands that Cornell stops protecting the alleged Chi Phi rapists through the University's opaque sexual assault policies.

Susan Collins is always horrified by the predictable results of her own vote, which means Mainers who genuinely care about Susan Collins should elect Troy Jackson as he won’t vote for things that wind up upsetting Susan Collins, unlike Susan Collins

Congratulations, @theatlantic.com Your continued platforming of the architects of today’s authoritarianism gives them cover for their prior actions and somehow also allows them to present themselves as “reasonable moderates who could not have seen this coming”. Excellent.

Not bad, but might I suggest: "My political party has been usurped by Nazis, just as has been loudly predicted by my critics for decades. Having been shown to be so catastrophically blind on this important issue, I've decided to step away from punditry to consider what else I might be wrong about."
A group of white guys have subtly inserted themselves into conservative institutions and church organizations. They all embrace racial grievances. To varying degrees, they embrace white nationalism, antisemitism, and even Nazi sympathies. They are getting added to conservative institutional boards, attempting to purge churches, and are desperate to indoctrinate young conservatives into fascist ideology. They even surround the Vice President of the United States. Some of them believe the United States is at a tipping point, and they want to push it over the edge and rebuild it in their image. You might think it does not affect you, but, in time, you will see their efforts in your church pews, in your kids’ brains, and in your politicians’ mouths. It begins with shampoo.
