If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Even if not pushing for this debacle, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s inability to hold his caucus is proof positive he is the wrong leader for this time.
The eight Neville Chamberlains betrayed the thousands of government workers who have held out, the SNAP beneficiaries who have faced starvation, and the millions of Democrats who supported this fight. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

Whether it’s Letitia James being indicted or George Santos having his sentence commuted both sides have received unfair treatment from Trump

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

At a state-sponsored cancer forum, Casey DeSantis, the First Lady of Florida, touted ivermectin, an antiparasitic drug commonly used to deworm livestock, and indicated that Florida should explore its potential repurposing for cancer research.

Now there’s a surprise.
Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

We aren’t one step away from Stephen Miller going in the radio and telling his supporters to kill all the Democrats, but they want you to think that so you’ll be afraid. This is a propaganda exercise to make them seem more powerful than they are and some of you are dangerously susceptible.
If Vance, Miller, and the FOX talking heads got out there and told their viewers to go full Rwanda 1994, they'd do it. They just think they can extort capitulation without going that far - and judging by elite reaction, they're right.

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, they increased by 243% — please don’t tell me bans don’t work, because I don’t want to hear it.

Astute comment furthering his political ambitions. This guy gets it without the California glitz.
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:
"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."
