Brian Kilmeade from Fox literally just said out loud that ICE pulled out of Maine to protect Susan Collins’ re‑election campaign. I can’t believe he would just admit that.

The National Post and Toronto Sun endorsed Pierre Poilievre in the 2025 federal election, and at least 11 of Canada’s legacy news outlets endorsed the Conservatives in the six previous elections. There’s an obvious media bias towards the CPC, despite Poilievre’s claims that the opposite is true.

Elon Musk's net worth just hit $800 billion. How? One of his corporations acquired another one of his corporations. Meanwhile, Elon's companies pay next to nothing in federal income taxes and get billions of dollars in government contracts. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Democrats' demand that Stephen Miller is fired as a condition of voting for ICE funding is one of the smartest moves they've made under Trump. Miller is a loathsome figure who I imagine has rock-bottom likability numbers. Democrats should try to raise his public salience as often as possible.

The FBI is taking over the investigation into the attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar. On X, the dominant right-wing narrative is that the attack was staged, which is also what Trump suggested. Chances are this FBI investigation will focus on Omar rather than the man who attacked her.
