Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity
Fun fact I just noticed: The U.S. had about half as much total job growth in 2025 (total) as during an average *month* during the Biden administration.
181k net jobs added over the entire course of 2025, versus average of 329k each month from 2021-2024.

Democrats should run on the fact that their opposition is literally killing Americans and destroying the country.
Itβs not hyperbole. Thatβs the message they should be blasting out to media every day.
They are killing Americans and destroying the country. They hate our freedom. They hate democracy
Democrats need to understand that they can just say βItβs insane to threaten Greenlandβ and βI donβt think ICE should murder Americans in the streetβ and you donβt need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.
Say bad things are bad.

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.
Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.
Not to be dramatic but the worst feeling in the world is when someone calls you so you canβt play on your phone for like 35 seconds until they get kicked to voicemail ugh

American public opinion is largely generated by foreigners who make money by lying to Americans over unregulated social media. Out of respect to those entrepreneurial foreigners, we will continue to treat their commodified fictions as one side of a reasoned American debate.
