No One Was Sweating It at Curtis Sliwa's Boozy Election Night Party
Attendees at Republican Curtis Sliwa's election were unbothered that their candidate lost the New York City mayoral election to Zohran Mamdani.
It was clear Sliwa would not be delivering his victory speech, and perhaps thatβs why there didnβt seem to be even an ounce of anxiety amid the revelry.

Roy Wood Jr.: 'Logic Isn't the Weapon. It Might Need to Be Love'
Roy Wood Jr. talks about his book, 'The Man of Many Fathers,' doing comedy in a polarized country and what he learned in radio and on 'The Daily Show'
"Logic isnβt necessarily going to be the weapon, it might need to be love. And then from that, you hope that they find some logic. But just yelling and berating people, done that for eight years."

The Viral MAGA Accounts Run by a Man Who Has Never Been to America
Two influential MAGA social media accounts are run by Rumen Naumovski, a Macedonian who may have illegally donated to a U.S. election.
MAGA lawmakers regularly share its content. Elon called it "one of the best accounts on X." It's run by a Macedonian who has never set foot in America β and who illegally donated to a U.S. congressional campaign.

Welcome to Portland, Where Trump's Fever Dream Is America's New Nightmare
Donald Trump has said federal troops are necessary to maintain order in Portland, but there is no truth to the president's fever dream about the city.
Portland is obviously personal to me. The president's fever dream of a 'War Zone' by the Willamette might be darkly funny, if the stakes for this city -- and the rest of the nation -- were not dead serious:

ICE Is Deporting People to Africa on Nearly Un-Trackable Military Flights
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is deporting people to African countries like Ghana on military flights that are nearly un-trackable.
NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.
This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.
