The realignment theory was always nonsense. To me, it's pretty clear that 2024 was more of a rejection of Biden/response to inflation than it was an endorsement of Trump.

Hispanic voters have completely reverted to 2016 trend line. All GOP gains here have been lost. The ‘Racial Realignment’ theory can officially be declared dead

Sayre: "My background is in international humanitarian response in conflict zones in Yemen, Haiti, Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine. What I've seen here is what I've seen there. A powerful entity violently and intentionally terrorizing people."

Actually we aren't going to need anymore videos. There is no rationale for thousands of masked and armed agents of the state to be in Minneapolis shooting protestors. They should get the fuck out before they kill anyone else. This is not a legal or necessary operation.

You're going to need the video shot by the woman in front of the CBP shooting and any body cams present to learn more. What we have now isn't sufficient to make a judgment on whether it was justified or not. Ignore the engagement accounts on both sides for now.

The end of due process for immigrants is the end of due process for citizens. Few understand this.

This is the most straightforward attack on free speech from state actors I've ever seen in my life and it's not even close.

BREAKNG: Disney's ABC is pulling Jimmy Kimmel indefinitely after late night host's recent remarks about Charlie Kirk. Move comes as ABC affiliate groups told network they would be dropping the host.

I'll say it again: In my opinion, when companies or institutions cave to Trump despite the law being on their side, they are not misunderstanding the law; they are making educated guesses that the U.S. is heading in a direction where, in practice, the law won't matter.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.


Absolutely horrific.

The degree to which the algorithm on this platform is pushing video of the shooting is incredibly disturbing. There has to be some human that can turn the dial down in a situation like this.

1/28 The Epstein "Birthday Book" is a disturbing read, filled with lots of crass 'jokes' related to the abuse of minors. This is just 1 document of the 300,000 files still sealed about Epstein's trafficking ring. Here are a few damning things I found in a quick skim:

Partisan gerrymandering is one of the worst things about American politics. Redistricting rules should be uniform across all states.

The “politics”

I am pleased to announce that the United States Navy is renaming the USNS Harvey Milk to the USNS Oscar V. Peterson. We are taking the politics out of ship naming.

I see the Vatican isn’t the only one blowing smoke today.

Biden says he wasn’t surprised Harris lost election, tells “The View” he thinks he would’ve won.

I covered MS-13 for over a decade: its history, crimes, symbolism, cruelty, pacts with Salvadoran governments. I wrote a book about it. Never, ever, did any of the hundreds of sources I spoke to say anything that would allow us to believe Trump's strange interpretation of tattoos

On their way to the recall?



Just a personal rule I’m making for myself - I’m willing to listen to all substantive critiques of candidates when it comes to issues related to character and ideology, but I will have zero tolerance for half-baked observations about electability.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but AOC and Sanders will lose in 2028, I’m sorry.



Hold up. The Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary special is on… Sunday night?
