The WSJ Editorial Board thinks that the Heritage Foundation’s embrace of Tucker Carlson, who has embraced antisemite/white nationalist Nick Fuentes, doesn’t taint MAGA or Trump.
Who did Tucker campaign for in 2024?
Trump.
Has Trump disavowed Tucker during this scandal? No. The opposite.
Elon Musk’s online encyclopedia, Grokipedia, cites the neo-Nazi website Stormfront as a source 42 times, according to an analysis by two researchers at Cornell University.

For Trump, attacking the U.S. Capitol on his behalf isn’t sedition, but encouraging fidelity to the U.S. Constitution is.

Trump is accusing Democratic lawmakers of being seditious traitors for encouraging U.S. service members and intelligence professionals to honor their oaths to the Constitution. He says such behavior is punishable by death.
MAGA has been accusing the left of stoking political violence for months.
Christine Bish "told CNN ... that prosecutors 'seemed more concerned' about looking into whether 'there was conspiracy or collusion between me and Pulte or me and Ed Martin.'"

The Internet and especially social media greatly enlarged the attention economy.
There are countless people in American public life who have accomplished nothing more than grabbing attention online - modern carnival barkers.
We partnered with Gallup to understand not only what Americans think about democracy, but what is driving those perceptions. Full report here: kettering.org?research_pro... #Polisky

Vaccine Safety MENU V For Everyone NOV. 19, 2025 KEY POINTS • The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. • Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities. • HHS has launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism, including investigations on plausible biologic mechanisms and potential causal links.
This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:
“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

After looking through the court docs & reporting, however, the Trump admin hasn’t even alleged any concrete ties to a broader “Antifa” global network.
Here we go.
Out of the gates, Chief Judge Boasberg says a factual inquiry is in order on whether to make criminal referral.
Witnesses under oath - to find out who gave orders to defy court ruling barring sending people to El Salvador.
"Justice requires me to move promptly."
"It seemed much closer to the alt-right site 4chan than a children’s game. The edgy and what’s real become blurred."
Tremendous reporting by @courtwatch.bsky.social's @pwbeck.bsky.social on new counterterrorism front lines and the validity of violent threats. @seamushughes.bsky.social
I did a deep dive on the State Dept’s designations of four “Antifa” groups.
State doesn’t even allege that they have targeted Americans or the U.S.
3 of them don’t appear to be Antifa.
The 1 that is Antifa was designated in part for fighting neo-Nazi groups, which haven’t been designated.
Pro tip:
With Chief Judge Boasberg moving full steam ahead on finding which US officials were responsible for ordering defiance of his order...
And whistleblower most likely to testify...
Here's where this is heading in significant part:

Miller scared of Constitution
Stephen Miller is scared because Democrats are calling on U.S. military service members and intelligence professionals to honor their oaths to the Constitution.
Miller knows they can’t do that and enforce Trump’s unconstitutional agenda - which Miller himself has shaped.
The Cyber Barrons are the Robber Barons of our time.
We need more antitrust enforcement, not less, to break up their digital monopolies.
It is necessary to counter their obscene wealth, power and influence in our democracy.
A former Palantir exec just published an extortion letter in the Washington Post: Democrats must fund tech oligarchs, abandon antitrust, and create 15 deregulated corporate zones—or “lose.”
When I challenged her, she blocked me.
