If you push out a rumor that turns out to be 100% bullshit, you didn't "break a story."

1/ For the last 80 minutes I've been on a fascinating Twitter Spaces (or whatever they're calling them now) with Rhein Amacher, who broke the Talarico story. I was on the call when everyone found out the hospital was flatly denying it. Some interesting nuggets: 8:24 PM • Oct 11, 2026 • 329.2K Views

Huh. Apparently Katie Miller deleted this tweet that I had the foresight to screencap. Turns out I can TOO make things go viral on Xitter, even.
My RT of a Katie Miller tweet which RTed the NYPost coverage of the Ilhan Omar raid. 

She said: Promise made, promise kept.
I said: Katie Miller is not going to do very well in a deposition.

This story makes it sound like the major problem is that the Trump Admin did this w/in 60 days of an election. Yes, that's a real abuse. But the major problem is they're basically threatening to denaturalize an opposition legislator, based on racist insinuations. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

The search takes place within the 60-day window of the midterm elections, when the Justice Department has historically avoided such investigative steps related to political candidates.

Schatz: The reason that people were frustrated with Joe Biden was that the cost of everything was too high... And one of the reasons that people are pissed off at Trump is that the cost of everything is even higher, and he did it on purpose, and he can’t explain himself.

Trump has sent ICE to arrest kids, to shoot innocent citizens, and now to raid the home of a US Congresswoman because he thinks it’ll help his party this election season. Ilhan Omar stands up and won’t let Trump do whatever he wants to our country. It’s up to us to do the same.
