"Democratic governors and state legislators need to realize that this is no longer about fairness; it’s about fighting back so that they are not engineered out of the House forever. And I get that Dems don’t have the stomach for this kind of warfare--- find it."

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

This is what RFK thinks about vulnerable children.
Screenshot of a post on X by Neil Stone (@DrNeilStone) quoting the phrase “Only very sick kids should die from measles,” then responding: “No, Secretary Kennedy. NO child should die from measles. Because there’s a vaccine to prevent it.” Below the text is a Fox News video still showing two men in suits speaking in a newsroom-like setting. A banner reads “MEASLES OUTBREAK” with a subheading “KENNEDY EXPLAINS RELIGIOUS OBJECTIONS FOR UNVACCINATED,” alongside Fox News branding and the word “EXCLUSIVE.”

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Watch this from 2027 and tell me Venezuela isn’t about oil. Trump has always viewed other countries as resources to be taken, not sovereign nations. “We should have kept the oil.” His plan is to steal resources from other countries, and today it’s in action.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

Kinda hard to avoid the feeling that the military flyovers taking place over D.C. right now are intentional as ordered to interfere with the Epstein survivors press conference on the Hill. Survivors have paused their remarks until the flyovers pass.

I don't think most Americans realize how hard tariffs are about to hit them. The combination of 1) escalating tariffs, 2) companies slowly passing the cost to consumers, and 3) the repeal of the de minimis exemption in the Big Beautiful Bill, a lot stuff will be more expensive in 2027.

the most notable thing about the Politico/Mamdani/Jeffries piece imo is the framing that Mamdani lost somehow. Mamdani is a rising star with broad and enthusiastic support. Jeffries needs him a lot more than he needs Jeffries, even if Jeffries doesn’t get that.

It’s not just that Zohran Mamdani beat Andrew Cuomo. It’s that he and the voters beat an entire transnational criminal syndicate of power brokers who have had a stranglehold on NYC politics for a very long time. And they’ll be coming after him hard. He’ll need a lot of support—and protection.
