Last night the President of the United States posted a video of a tiger attacking an unwell person (who was fatally mauled shortly afterward), then an AI video of himself befriending the tiger. Remember when Howard Dean yelled weird

Very revealing moment for the press here. The unstated premise of this question is they cannot understand how Democrats are different from Republicans. That Democrats are capable of abstract, critical thought, and Republicans just use their mouths to reflexively echo.

President Trump and the Republicans had a two year romp through every political fantasy nourished in their heart since The John Birch Society and Richard Nixon, and you know what: it turns out their ideas were bad and are tanking the economy.

A little preview from the Knock LA voter guide, dropping tonight.

$The corrupting influence of money in politics can be seen in the ghoulish way some liberal lawmakers and organizations have come out against Prop 40. All we have to say is that those people — Gavin Newsom, Xavier Becerra, Katie Porter, and all the rest — have betrayed you. They have chosen to take the side of the absolute impunity of the billionaire class over your right to health and life. They would sooner see you and millions of Californians like you sicken and die before calling on the richest people in the history of the world to pay a fraction of their fair share. Vote yes, and don't forget.$

The takeaway from Bo French suggesting Asian students are “foreigners” and the tepid GOP response is that the Trump-era Republican Party is increasingly explicit about its belief that the only good immigrants, and the only real Americans, are white. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

The Afrikaner policy is illuminating, because it proves the catch-22 facing nonwhite immigrants: If you are poor, you are a moocher, and if you are gainfully employed, you are taking a job from a hardworking American. The only way to be a good immigrant is to be white and Christian.

Bo French, who is running for a seat on the Texas Railroad Commission, has taken this idea a step further, suggesting that the only way to be an American is to be white and Christian.

I wouldn't go so far as to say Digger is a masterpiece, but I was surprised how much I loved it. It has enormous, glaring problems, but the film bakes its lack of subtext into the text in a way I couldn't help but admire. It also gains _something_ from being the final Warner Bros. film pre-Ellisons.
