the fact that nick fuentes isn’t here but ms rachel is illustrates perfectly that groups like this don’t actually care about antisemitism at all

Willick is one of my favorite conservative affirmative action hires. A total clown who only got his job to meet some quota for right-wingers in establishment media.

It's okay for some campaign promises to be about optics rather than policy. "We're going to bulldoze his monument to himself on Day One and rebuild the East Wing" would be a very good one for 2028.
“It is something that has been needed and desired at the White House for over 150 years, but something which no other President was equipped to do…”

Tech oligarchs have been scrambling for products to retain dominance since the plateau of the home computer and mobile phone. Today, they're forcing 'AI' garbage on us while pushing for mass surveillance and war products, even if they have to make the wars to service them. We can reject this future.

Donald Trump hates me, and the feeling is mutual.

I believe he is a criminal and an authoritarian who is trying to destroy our democracy and the rule of law. I spend a considerable amount of my time fighting against him and his enablers in court and in public discourse.
Trump Sued Me. I Fought and Won.

There are many kinds of responsibility, and editorial boards should not ignore them. Driven by hatred, racism, and contempt, Trump and his team created the conditions that put National Guard reservists--as well as entire urban populations--at risk. And now a young woman they used as a prop is dead.

I don't wish this job on anyone, but someone should do a history of how Trump's social-media pronouncements get particularly rageful/hateful/insane on holiday weekends. Maybe there's something about being alone while others celebrate, or vague, in-and-out awareness that he's waning and hated, etc.

Dept. of your politics are political but our politics are apolitical (which goes all the way up to "our gender ideology is not a gender ideology but yours is").

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

There's a weird collective self-justification among reporters on this beat that their job is not to push back but to be stoic in order to observe an endlessly fascinating natural phenomenon. It's all nonsense. He is a public servant. Demand decency, and slap back hard and fast when you don't get it.

Important to do this press conference about a mass shooting from behind a comic book convention’s folding table inside the hotel from The Shining.

I spent one summer in an apartment where I couldn't understand how mosquitos were getting, in since I had screens. Then suddenly they stopped. I finally realized there was a thin gap between one window frame and the wall - and a spider had built a web right in front of it.

Thank you Charlotte!
