The Dems really, really, really need to make Miller the face of the administration, the way Musk was until recently. He’s hugely unlikeable and has the potential to create major drag if he is out front and center.

Yes, this is totally racist. I really hope that Mamdani starts doing what I do when people keep mispronouncing my name, which is to come up with the most ridiculous mispronunciation of their name and use it loudly and repeatedly.

Donald Trump told us that there would be no wars if he was President. Not even six months in and Israel just struck Tehran.

Gaza is offline — again. The last fiber line connecting Gaza to the world has been cut, likely due to military strikes. No internet, no phones, no way to call for help. This isn't a glitch — it's part of the siege. My family is inside. I don’t even know if they’re alive. I feel powerless.

"Nooo I'm not the elite I'm a downtrodden victim of life," I argue internally, as I order my burrito taxi with underclass manservant instructed to never talk or look at me, who gets fired if I don't mark them perfect at putting my burrito within 2ft of the door who I watch to leave before I get it.

If the Stephen Miller freakshow is too much even for Ron Johnson (!) it’s probably worth confronting Republicans with the ugly truth: they aren’t being bullied into supporting “the MAGA agenda.” They’re being bullied into helping a sadistic degenerate get his fix. www.offmessage.net/p/the-greedy...

🚨 Channel 12 reports: The Israeli army has announced the beginning of a military operation against Iran. Unconfirmed reports suggest an attempt to assassinate Iran’s Chief of Staff in the Tehran airstrikes. As people of Gaza, we long for peace — not more war. Please, hear us.

Explosive moment during tonight's NYC mayoral debate: Cuomo: "He’s never dealt with the city council, he’s never dealt with the Congress..." Mamdani: "I’ve never had to resign in disgrace...I have never hounded the thirteen women who credibly accused me of sexual harassment."

ICE wanted the San Francisco Standard to blur the faces of agents who were taking immigrants into custody. The Standard told them "no." "...we believe that censoring images from this news event would set a harmful precedent for the media’s right to report and the public’s right to know."

The squishiest centrist, the nuttiest tankie, the normiest of normies — it doesn’t matter. Republicans lump us all together and look forward to hurting us.

Pointing out that huge amounts of academic work reinforces others is not required to be a critique. It's a valid unbiased observation. Hewing and amplification and lack of proper samples is a scourge. It knows where to hide and you have to audit your data sources. Quite a lot is just not that strong

Seems worth noting that Noem's story is that "no one knew who" Padilla was. Hmmm. You're in CA with US marines in LA. CA.... I think two senators? You don't know what one of the state's two senators looks like?

This is the lede. There is a woman on camera in charge of a lot of people with guns. She says they are going to liberate a domestic population center from democratically elected officials and violate too many laws to count in the process. I have zero time for anything else.

Is this conspiracy to commit murder happening before our eyes? I cannot believe in 2025 a sheriff is saying they are going to kill people rather than take into custody.

Another bit of Noem news that slid under some radars is her asking Hegseth last week to deploy surveillance drones over LA and have federal troops conduct arrests. Even if the news did get around, there was little emphasis in the press on just how unlawful it was.
