I really enjoyed this conversation. Sadly the parts about political violence and how we're all living under the threat of it feel even more relevant in light of today's news.
I'm sick and tired of the false (and stupid) Great Replacement Theory being the ideology that drives this regime's policy.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Republicans will blame Democrats for the shooter. Don't let them.
Democrats:
- allowed Afghans to seek refuge after aiding the U.S. and fleeing the Taliban
Republicans:
- approved shooter's refugee status in April 2025
- allowed shooter to access a gun
- placed NG soldiers in the line of fire

My working theory is that Ryan Lizza was saving this all for a book that no one wanted to buy. Which has to make the fact that Nuzzi got a book deal infuriating to him.
Not that I have any empathy for him. Because every character in this story remains the worst.

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

This headline is such a good way to put it. Been going on long before AI but the tools certainly make it easier to profit from America's dysfunction.

This man is from Wisconsin. Which means he knows about MidWest Airlines and the warm cookies they used to give out as snacks. If you're gonna make airline snacks your issue at least advocate for the return of those damn cookies.
Sean Duffy, the U.S. transportation secretary, has been urging people for the past week to dress and comport themselves better as a way of restoring “civility” to air travel. On Tuesday, he added another item to his list of concerns: the quality of the snacks handed out on commercial flights.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Wants Healthier In-Flight Snack Options
Sean Duffy, who has been promoting greater decorum among air travelers, said he would like to see choices besides salty pretzels and buttery cookies.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Judge dismisses cases against James Comey and Letitia James after finding that prosecutor was illegally appointed.

The reason that video pissed Trump off so much is because the message was so obviously necessary. As the Trump Regime continues to demonstrate.
The Department of Defense announces it's considering "court-martial proceedings or administrative measures" against Democratic Senator Mark Kelly.
