For a decade, Trump has targeted Rep. Ilhan Omar with grotesque, racist rhetoric that has fueled threats against her. This federal raid on her home is a dangerous escalation. Rep. Omar has done nothing to warrant this kind of intimidation.

BREAKING: my ongoing campaign to inject the 2014 Swedish film Force Majeure into the discourse gets a major boost from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/donald-tru...

Quote from Kristol substack:
Yesterday I remarked that “seeing support for President Trump collapse among the public—with very little help from our pitifully complacent and fearful elites—is heartening. Even inspiring.”

I didn’t go into any detail to justify my swipe at our elites. I don’t really think much justification is needed. But I thought I might mention here one of the most helpful characterizations I’ve heard of their behavior. It came from Leah Greenberg, co-founder of the grassroots activist organization Indivisible and a key organizer of the No Kings demonstrations, in a conversation we had under the auspices of the New Haven Democracy Project.

I was lamenting the performance of our elites, and asked Leah what she thought of them. Her reply:

So there’s a 2014 Swedish dark comedy called Force Majeure in which a family goes to a ski lodge. It’s a husband and a wife and their two small children, and there is an optical illusion of a controlled avalanche that makes them think that an avalanche is coming at the ski lodge. And the husband just books it. He grabs his phone and he runs and he leaves the wife and their two small children. You know, the wife is desperately trying to shield the children from what they think is an oncoming avalanche. And it turns out it was an optical illusion. Everyone’s safe. It’s fine.

But now they have to live with what that moment has revealed about the fact that the husband will flee and save himself at the drop of a hat. That is kind of how I feel about elites in American society right now. That’s the best metaphor that I’ve been able to come up with for what we have experienced over the last year and a half, which is to say that I think we’ve got a lot of really revealing data about when the chips are down, what people will do, how much they will fold . . . to save themselves, how much they will risk to push back. And, you know, it’s a lot faster to make a list of the people who did push back in early 2025 than the peop…

After the Trump-Vance admin cut down over 500 trees in DC this weekend, we went to court. Today, a judge agreed with us and ordered the government to temporarily stop this unlawful effort that would irreparably destroy a priceless piece of American history.

Four men grabbed, punched, and shoved a woman in front of hundreds of people and at a Trump rally and the cops got rid of HER. Just in case you were wondering if the Cornell thing was just an aberration.

A Trump supporter punched a protester wearing a “Release the Epstein Files” shirt in the face at Trump’s rally in Youngstown, OH. According to Mediaite, police removed the protester while the attacker stayed and “high-fived other attendees”. This is disgraceful and sums up the entire MAGA movement.
