Absolutely right. As we noted in FAULT LINES, Watergate is key to understanding Cheney’s politics

Reminder: In Virginia, you can register to vote on Election Day through same-day voter registration. This lets you register in person and cast a provisional ballot if you missed the regular registration deadline. Your vote will be counted once eligibility is confirmed, so don’t sit this one out!

Opinion | It’s time to close the borders and make the United States a country for Americans again.

Post-9/11 wars have contributed to some 4.5 million deaths, report suggests Researchers attempt to calculate the number of deaths attributable to the war on terrorism, across Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.

Not sure how many Cheney obits will mention this murderous legacy of his.

Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts The shutdown is exposing the speaker's slimy disingenuousness.

New in PN: Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts

"Nearly every time he appears before cameras to sell the GOP’s lies, he manages to unintentionally tell the truth. These admissions have advertised the fact the regime is intent on using the shutdown to torment vulnerable Americans."

Today is only the beginning.

Our time has come, New York. Our time is now.

P.S. No one is scared of a socialist when we have literal Nazis working in the White House...

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise.

Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

you don't have to put on blackface to get social media attention. you can simply develop mild depression, join a menswear forum, spend the next 15 years arguing about pants, and then weaponize the knowledge against your enemies on social media.

Speaker Mike Johnson vs Sergeant Schultz from Hogan's Heroes -- who knows less?

"Speaker Johnson, it looks as though the president is currently stabbing you with a knife. Do you have any comment?"

"Well, look, this is the first I'm hearing about it. As you know, I've been really busy not doing my job, so I just don't know enough about this alleged stabbing to make a comment."

The news about Teen Vogue is terrible, the latest in the long list of corporate-owned media layoffs, closures, and shifting tone and coverage.
There are so many great independent outlets, a list too long but this is a fantastic starter pack. PLEASE pick a few & support them if you're able.

I have seen way too many takes lately that boil down to "EBT should only buy you unflavored soy slurry, and if you're caught smiling while eating it, the cops should beat you up."

One, we're never going to shut up about this. Two, this isn't an "I told you so." Here's a simple fact that those making an AI inevitability argument do not want to reckon: it's not too late. Resistance thrives on chaos, and this brand of unmonitored chaos has never met the friction and revolutionary spirit of academic freedom-perhaps the very thing that will cause us to collectively remember that generative AI has no meaningful place in writing pedagogy, no ability to be implemented with integrity, and isn't even passably slay at writing. It is a thieving, hallucinating, biased, data-scraping, ecоdestroying, surveillance bot that will never be able to reconcile the receipts of its unethical origins. Not only are writing faculty allowed to resist, we are now called to do so by our own morals and steadfast, unabashedly idealistic belief in creative craft. Make mine a pour over.

AI "is a thieving, hallucinating, biased, data-scraping, ecо-destroying, surveillance bot that will never be able to reconcile the receipts of its unethical origins."

Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

But here’s the most uncomfortable truth of all: the parasites that have taken over so much of our country—pantsuited girlboss advertising executives, Skittle-haired they/them activists, soy-faced pajama-clad work-from-home HR apparatchiks, Adderall-addicted dog mom diversity consultants, nasally voiced Ivy League regulatory lawyers, obese George Soros–funded police abolitionist district attorneys, hipster trust fund socialists—are some of the least impressive people in the history of the world. The Uniparty would never have achieved what it has in this country without a great degree of rottenness, of decadence, of torpor, of complacency already

it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people

if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops

🤷🏼

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Absolutely horrifying and brutal.

But now she has 175 million dollars worth of private jets so problem solved.

On Halloween, ‘state-sponsored terror’ in Chicago and the north suburbs Despite pleas from Gov. JB Pritzker to pause federal immigration enforcement operations while children celebrate Halloween, Border Patrol agents tore through Chicago and the suburbs.

In Albany Park, they fired pepper-spray balls and arrested U.S. citizens.

In Evanston, a weapon was repeatedly pointed at protesters.

They grabbed workers in Hoffman Estates, landscapers.

And house painters and laborers in Edison Park, Skokie and Niles.

“Feels like state-sponsored terror."

On MSNBC Cuomo said "diversity can be a weakness." When asked by one of the two Black hosts (Eugene) to clarify, he doubled down on his statement and called Eugene "Jonathan."

So Cuomo is anti-diversity & can't tell Black people apart.🤔

Honestly the best anti-Cuomo ads are just letting Cuomo speak

Mustafa Barghouti @Mustafa_Barghouti @MustafaBarghou1 According to medical sources in Gaza the Israeli army killed 219 Palestinians in Gaza since the ceasefire agreement was signed, including 85 Palestinian children at an average of 10 Palestinians killed every day.

🚨 Israel has killed an average of 10 Palestinians every day during the “ceasefire” period that began at noon on October 10.

You don’t say?
