The problem with the brownshirts is not that they lack moderation, it's that they exist at all.

The popular commentary on drones is too focused on "wow, cool drones!" rather than "why did the U.S. and partners fail to secure other, more effective forms of long-range fires for Ukraine?"

Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement.

"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."

Michael Rapaport tweets: "How’s a so-called “working class” mayoral candidate like Zohran Mamdani eating at OMEN SUSHI tonight — one of the priciest joints in NYC? 🍣💰 This clown lives in a rent-stabilized apartment in Queens but dines like a diplomat on a Qatar-funded per diem. Who’s paying for that toro, “Zoron the Moron”?" There are two photos of Zohran Mamdani and his wife eating at a restaurant.

Michael Rapaport eating outside of a restaurant. There are some white canopy umbrellas around him and a tree in the background. Also the ocean and some fence.

Two photos. The first shows the outside of Nobu in Malibu. The second shows the area where Michael sat. There is the same tree, ocean, white canopy umbrellas, and fence.

The menu for Nobu in Malibu shows prices around $60. The menu for Omen Sushi in NYC shows prices around $35.

i don't get it. omen sushi in nyc is cheaper than nobu in malibu, where you dined last year without your wife

BREAKING

President Trump is demanding that the DOJ pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him.

Any settlement will ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Vance once called Trump "America's Hitler."

Without tangible policy shifts, real changes in aid, or the enforcement of sanctions, it’s nothing more than talk - a position that could shift tomorrow or next month again, after Putin’s next call or another “strategic” visit from Witkoff. What matters are actions, not words.

Somebody at the UN deserves a prize for this

For those praising Charlie Kirk, ask them if they agree with Kirk when he said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, MLK was an awful person, Palestine doesn't exist, women's place is under their husband, and that the white supremacist "replacement theory" is real.

I'd love to hear the answers.

My grandmother took a tougher stance on TV volume with my grandfather than Trump did on Russia penetrating NATO airspace with drones.

A screenshot of DHS' original tweet, quote-tweeting a staff member at the Spectator announcing the article

It's worth noting that it is originally art for this article in The Spectator, and was made in response to it: thespectator.com/topic/mexica...

DHS just altered the text and added ICE patches to the soldiers. Looks like an attempt at turning (possible) criticism into pro-Trump messaging.

Happy Independence Day, guys 🫶🏻

And thank you to the remarkable people all around the world who keep Ukraine in their hearts and minds, just thank you for being here 🇺🇦🤍

No doubt Matt Yglesias will still be tweeting about how Democrats need to avoid looking too confrontational even as he is stuck in a traffic jam caused by the regular skirmishes between rival militias over control of lucrative checkpoints into Georgetown

Our largest investigation to date into Chinese involvement would not have been possible without your support and contributions. We thank everyone who has supported us in recent months - our team, Frontelligence Insight, is proud to share these results with you.

Ok, for each retweet I’ll provide one insight, fact, or opinion on unconventional naval warfare, like submarines, explosive boats, special forces or crazy ideas

Gaslighting involves manipulating someone into questioning their perception of reality. That's not what I'm doing. I am directly stating that you are not arguing for or even outright stating a cogent point. You're just vagueposting in a general direction.

Your sequence of replies in this thread clearly shows that you are not simply being deliberately obtuse but that you fundamentally don't even know how to make a point. If anyone "lost" the "debate", it would be you.

No wonder the Pedophile Protection Party shut Congress down early.

scorched-earth policy of complete and total destruction visible from space (unpaywalled archive.is/rvmJb)

Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die July 21, 2025 AFP has been working with 1 writer, 3 photographers and 6 videographers, all freelance, in the Gaza Strip since its staff journalists left in 2024. Along with a few others, they are now the only ones left to report what is happening in the Gaza Strip. The international press has been banned from entering the territory for nearly two years. We refuse to watch them die. One of them, Bashar, has been working with AFP since 2010, first as a fixer, then freelance photographer, and since 2024, as lead photographer. On July 19th he managed to post a message on Facebook: “I no longer have the strength to work for the media. My body is thin and I can’t work anymore.” Bashar, 30, works & lives in the same conditions as all Gazans, moving from one refugee camp to another under Israeli bombings. For > a year he’s lived in utter destitution, working at extreme risk to his life. Hygiene is a major issue for him, with recurring bouts of severe intestinal illness. Since Feb, Bashar’s been living in the ruins of his home in Gaza City with his mother, 4 brothers & sisters and the family of one of his brothers. Their house is devoid of any furnishings, except a few cushions. On Sunday morning, he reported that one of his brothers had “fallen, due to hunger.” Even though these journalists receive a monthly salary from AFP, it’s no longer enough to buy food, or they have to pay completely exorbitant prices. The banking system has collapsed, and those who exchange money via online bank accounts charge a commission of up to 40%. AFP no longer has the ability to provide them with a vehicle and there is not enough fuel to allow these journalists to travel for their reporting. Driving a car means becoming a target for Israeli airstrikes. AFP reporters therefore travel on foot or by donkey cart. (alt txt continued in next post)

I’m fundraising for engineering equipment (donation link in the end) and I often get asked: why can’t the government do this?

There are many arguments, but the reality is simple.

I would appreciate it if you could like and repost the post I’m quoting right now. It helps the fundraiser

@catturd2: Make sure you have a Truth Social account on standby. We've already seen how petty and vindictive Elon can be. Anyone who disagrees with him will probably be demonetized, censored, and suspended on X soon.

I anxiously await all the op-eds about how bad it is for conservatives to leave X for an echo chamber
