Are liberal values a luxury the West cannot afford? Yes, China has impressive high-speed trains. That is no reason for the West to adopt iron-fisted rule

Are liberal values a luxury the West cannot afford? Europeans & US allies hear that now in Washington & from Asian, MidEast govts. But here’s the trap: when democracies turn illiberal they don’t become efficient technocracies, they become Russia or Hungary. My column

Epstein engineered intimate relationship for Tesla’s Kimbal Musk, emails show Elon Musk’s younger brother and the woman were involved for about six months between 2012 and 2013

The Guardian: “Jeffrey and Boris, many thanks for connecting me with [the woman],” Musk later emailed Epstein and Nikolic in October 2012 after a lunch at Epstein’s Manhattan apartment.

"Experts and witnesses attributed this phenomenon to Israel’s systematic use of internationally prohibited thermal and thermobaric weapons, often referred to as vacuum or aerosol bombs, capable of generating temperatures exceeding 3,500 degrees Celsius [6,332 degrees Fahrenheit]."

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Every day, an unprecedented corruption scandal that would immediately end any chief executive's tenure in any actual democracy, let alone any presidency since Truman.

Trump told Palm Beach police chief ‘everyone’ knew about Epstein, Maxwell was ‘evil’ The new information comes as Ghislaine Maxwell was summoned to appear Monday before a Congressional committee.

In July 2006, Trump told Palm Beach police chief 'everyone' knew about Epstein and 'evil' Maxwell. But he continued to party and deal with them for another decade, at least (likely longer). www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

I think collectively, we at least partially wanted the child at the Super Bowl to be Liam because the little boy on stage looked happy and healthy and our hearts want so badly to think these children can somehow magically recover from the evils our government is doing.

he literally dangled from power lines meant to symbolize the dilapidated Puerto Rican power grid

Not naming names, but the “Taiwan will be invaded within 3 years” predictions have just hit my calendar.

Those who made them should reckon with that, if not publicly, then at least privately.

why is it normal that the president whine about random citizens being losers. how does this not just embarrass everyone. completely child-like behavior

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Steps Onto a Wider Stage

You know a politician is thinking about running for president when they start making moves on foreign policy: AOC will be headed to the Munich Security Conference and will speak in Berlin with a member of Germany's Social Democratic Party.

Finneas and Billie

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

Part of the answer to “Why are so many mainstream columnists and pundits saying such transparently stupid stuff?” is that they’re still on X, and view the world through the perspective X brings them, and that perspective is dramatically warped.

A study at U Mass Amherst finds that Elon Musk manipulated Twitter to bolster the voice of the Neo Nazi Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) before the German 2025 parliamentary elections. No surprises here. groups.cs.umass.edu/equate-ml/20...

Exclusive: How Israel, Weapons and Greed Drove Jeffrey Epstein’s Mongolia Obsession For years, Jeffrey Epstein used his connections to build a network of influence aimed at Mongolia. Now Lamestream can reveal what drove his obsession.

New exclusive from us:

Epstein and Ehud Barak discussed how to make money in Mongolia, almost a year before the advisory board was even formed.

"They pay quite a lot of money [for consultants],” Barak went on to say. “ They think that if they will choose the white people, they get a certain edge.”

Australian coverage of the Epstein files has so far been confused about why Kevin Rudd was mentioned in his emails alongside references to Mongolia.

Today @scottmitchell.bsky.social and I reveal what drove Epstein’s Mongolia obsession.

Australia should probably just rip the bandaid and politely decline to join Trump’s Board of Peace.

Just get it over with.

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

Thanks!
