OMG they released the deposition videos where they revealed that these two DOGE bros were just feeding grants into ChatGPT and saying "tell me if this is DEI in less than 120 characters."

The Iranian Revolution was a diplomatic crime of the American left.
The Islamic Republic, like its proxy Hamas, is a client power of the American left.

Today I learned from JD Vance’s muse that Iran’s Islamic, fundamentalist regime is a manifestation of the same leftist political energies as those which animate Brooklyn leftism. Ok dude, sure, whatever

Opinion | Why the latest racist, antisemitic college MAGA group chat points to the GOP's future Anthony L. Fisher Young MAGA activist leaders —the heirs to Charlie Kirk’s legacy — keep getting outed as bigots. And the right’s mostly just yawns.

A leaked Florida college group chat revealed TPUSA's chapter president — and other young Republican activist leaders — giddily using antisemitic, racist and fascist rhetoric.

The heirs to Charlie Kirk’s legacy keep getting outed as bigots. And the right mostly just shrugs.

I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.

I feel like we typically see these sorts of completely outraged opinions from federal judges a couple times a year across the whole country, maybe a little more often in last few years. Now, in cases stemming from Trump's immigration crackdown, judges are ringing the alarm bell several times a week.

This is what they mean when they say shit like "suicidal empathy."

It's just bloodlust. Not patriotism or deft military strategy. Just thuggery on a global scale.

I see a bunch of words but none of them appear to spell out "I believed Trump and was an idiot to do so."

One thing that’s always been wild to me is there inability to recognize who the bad guy is. Jessup, Patrick Bateman, Jordan Belfort. These guys consistently idolize the obvious villain.

Trump is completely indifferent to the potential of U.S. civilians being killed as blowback on his illegal war of choice.

I know a lot of Twitter discourse is about how you have to stay on Twitter or you'll have no influence on the general public and miss out on great ideas but I dropped in on X today and it's just a bunch of MAGA and heterodox pundits mad at Lindy West for being polyamorous.

Calling states "red" and "blue" based on presidential results not only ignores the partisanship of other statewide votes but also ignores how lousy those descriptors are at the presidential level.

It rules that the biggest name in conspiracy mongering about propaganda and shadowy elites is the son of the former head of Voice of America, tried to join the CIA, and is on the record in multiple legal cases admitting that his viewers shouldn't trust him.

The heterodox civility cops won't bat an eye about something like this coming from a U.S. Congressman but they're still mad about something Joy Reid said in 2022

The irony that Bush's failed war of choice built on lies led to the backlash that allowed Trump to take over the GOP and the country has brought us to another war of choice built on lies but even more reckless and without even an attempt to justify the lies.
