The Democratic House in 2027 must subpoena all these mini-nazis and drag them in front of the cameras to testify under oath.

The problem is, everyone I’ve spoken to in MAGAworld content creation β€” comms staff, influencers, whomever β€” knows their identity. In off-the-record conversations, people will simply tell me their name as soon as I ask the question, as they’re familiar with the memelord’s style from interactions in the disappearing MAGA group chats. (I do have to pause for a second and acknowledge that the meme zoomers have better opsec than the senior officials who did Signalgate a year ago.) But the moment I ask if they’d be willing to go on background about it β€” surely they aren’t Nazis, and shouldn’t they call out behavior in their own ranks? β€” sources immediately clam up. If I prod, they’ll shrug it off as everyone’s just having fun.

So @tinanguyen.bsky.social has spent weeks trying to identify the person at DHS who posts all the racist memes, and instead uncovered a fascinating code of silence: everyone in Trump's Washington knows who it is, but refuses to say. Gift link! -> www.theverge.com/column/89298...

This is the Post and the sources in it are identified as Trumpworld people which in my opinion suggests the whole gang is reaaaaaally sick of these two

Post-Trump, will people want politicians who are giant assholes or politicians who are nice? I think the public is pretty sick of giant assholes after the last decade. Talarico vs. Crockett is a version of this.

You should focus your anti-NYT ire on The Athletic, the one section of the paper that truly sucks

The Obvious Is Taking Its Revenge on Trump The reasons other U.S. presidents avoided war with Iran are becoming all too evident.

"When past presidents balked at the possibility of war with Iran, they weren’t just dodging a hard choice; they were deterred by all of the obvious reasons a conflict could perilously spiral. Nobody should be shocked that the expected is now coming to pass." www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Opinion | Trump Is the Anti-Trump

"Trump is so solipsistic, so plainly consumed with narcissism, so deeply indifferent to the details of governance and so eager to satisfy his basest impulses that there was little chance he’d ever complete the authoritarian consolidation of his dreams"

One of my favorite parts of this whole thing is that it implies Rubio lied about his shoe size.

The Trial of GisΓ¨le Pelicot’s Rapists United France and Fractured Her Family After fifty-one men were convicted of the crime, Pelicot became a feminist hero. But additional accusations left her children struggling to accept her new role.

After it was revealed that Dominique Pelicot had arranged for the mass rape of his wife, Gisèle, each member of their family ended up with their own version of what had been real, Rachel Aviv writes. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/Ita-HA

Scoop: White House tells House Republicans to stop talking about mass deportations Blair delivered the message during a policy listening session with House Republicans at their annual retreat in Doral, Florida.

Can't tell how much this is just a rhetoric play -- Fox News spent all last year saying immigration enforcement was targeting violent criminals, even as it was clear mass deportations were underway. Is policy changing or just how to talk about it? www.axios.com/2026/03/10/w...

Something strange about saying we lack leisure time while posting on a niche microblogging social media site.
