i do think there's going to be a minor New Right civil war because i don't think the previous leaders of the movement realize how rapidly the base is radicalizing

NOW: a New press ban.
There is no "sensitive" material in Upper Press.
This is Donald Trump once again destroying long - established norms.
It isn't the first time we've been limited from going into Upper Press, but the real reason is Trump doesn't want us talking with ANYONE

We need an Alternate Universe Machine, in which Vice President Kamala Harris publicly advocates that her Jewish husband convert to Christianity, just to see what Miriam Adelson and Jonathan Greenblatt would do

Andrew Mills
Palm Springs Police Chief

You joined a federal LE agency to arrest terrorist and bang cartels. Instead, you are doing jump outs arresting dishwashers and gardeners for working hard. You watch the 4th and 14th amendments violated regularly behind a cloak of secrecy, wearing masks and heavy armor. There are other options.
Palm Springs Police Department, CA and many in local LE protect the constitution and focus on things that harm our community. Our community loves and supports us. The choice is yours.

The Jewish right discovering in real time that the Trumpist right, and the open bigotries it has unleashed upon the US body politic, is not in fact going to spare Jews, is quite a trip.

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

1. A comms guy threatening reporters by siccing the White House on them.
2. The wife of a WH official threatening a pundit's citizenship.
3. A drunk ICE agent saying he'll check an arresting officer's status.

Dear Journalists:

If you're reporting the China-US exhibition this morning as a "trade deal," you're engaging in malpractice.

But although I know I'm supposed to have a take about the tattoo designs chosen by a drunk 21-year-old Marine while on leave in Croatia, my best guide to what this person would do in office is, well, what he says he will do in office. And that platform leads with the affordability crisis and the dangers

I think political writers actually should have an opinion about a guy in his 40s having a Nazi tattoo. The decision to keep it on their body may tell us more than their website.

The advances in the use of evs worldwide should be sign of solid hope. If China can achieve 50% new sales, there is no reason America cannot amp up its efforts - except that Trump is trying to keep Americans shackled to his cronies’s gas pumps.

Bessent’s net worth is around $600M even with his failed hedge fund. A significant portion if this was gained working for Soros.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone?

Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate.

They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.
