The "abolish USAID from the left" comes from the same place as the people who wanted Ukraine to be conquered in order to weaken NATO. Morality takes a back seat to whatever is necessary to weaken US power, even if it's the soft power of preventing millions of people dying from famine and disease. 1x
I’m sure this dude is fine. He does have a Nazi tattoo. And says women whine about sexual assault in the military. And that black people are stupid. But gosh darn it he says he’s a progressive, and since he’s white and male, who can really say what’s in a person’s heart.

Frontline aired a documentary about the Camp Fire where they spoke to 911 dispatchers and played some of the audio of the calls… it was truly traumatizing stuff… I can only imagine how bad these calls were
TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.
Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.
If you still think that the left is a bigger problem, go get your head examined or admit you have surrendered any sense of morality and elementary decency:
Moderate, corporate type Democrats are great when the Republican Party is (outwardly) more sane appearing and you have a collapsing home market and an unpopular middle eastern war to campaign against… it feels milquetoast when fighting a rapacious and existential internal threat to democracy.
It’s worth remembering that Schumer helmed the DSCC during the 2006 and 2008 elections, when the Democrats gained massive numbers of seats and took a supermajority with a whole bunch of moderate to conservative candidates… 17 years later, I don’t think he has fully progressed past that playbook.
The TX-18 seat will be filled by a Dem in a run-off (between 2 Dems) on 1/31/26. The special election in TX-7 is 12/2/25. The special in NJ-11 is 4/16/26. If both NJ-11 (likely) and TX-7 (stretch) go Dem, then in April the chamber will be 218-216 until MTG's seat is filled
Conservatives think free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want. bsky.app/profile/phil...

“Race ideology,” the draft of the proposal says, would encompass any concept that “attempts to shame a particular race or ethnicity” or “promotes activism on issues related to race or ethnicity rather than academic instruction.” The proposal would define “gender ideology” as “a concept of self-assessed gender identity replacing, and disconnected from, the biological category of sex.”
The proposal's definitions of "race ideology" and "gender ideology" are exactly as thoughtful and workable as you'd expect
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️
Brett? Erratic, weird, and emotional?
Our Brett?!
there are basically not enough republican voters to create enough safe seats to withstand the kind of wave that, for example, turned virginia into a democratic supermajority state for the first time in the modern era of its politics
We are seeing not just a merging of different parts of the armed forces; we are also seeing a deprofessionalization. Competent people are fired. Those willing to break the law are hired. Normal practices are abandoned as the new force becomes more responsive to the demand for quotas & brutalization.
They better not go and shake that man’s hand while he’s kidnapping folks from the community that made them
As an American League Supremacist (unless the Yankees are involved), this is truly the worst possible timeline.
Two years ago, Nick Fuentes was so toxic that, after I reported on a secret meet he had with a top Texas GOP donor, the party was engulfed in scandal and voted to explicitly ban Holocaust deniers/Neo Nazis.
Today, Heritage Foundation effectively said that "no enemies to our right" includes Fuentes.
Democrats have this idea that you can carve out razor-thin positions on the ideological spectrum and that will come through to voters. No!
The right is going to call you pro-trans if you oppose bathroom bills. The left is going to call you anti-trans if you say trans women are men.
Emmanuel explicitly says he wants to shift the topic away from trans rights but he does so in the worst possible way.
The solution is to vocally affirm trans rights and immediately ask why Republicans are so laser-focused on the genitals of 13-year-olds. Don't shit on college students instead!
Mr. Political Instincts over here with the dumbest imaginable attempt at moderation on trans rights. You can't say that you'll protect LGBT policy while affirming bigotry in the next breath.
This doesn't appeal to the right, angers the left and reveals you as a worm to absolutely everyone.
This is the thing that I will say in Megalopolis' defence. Yes, it is an utterly disastrous mess of a film, yes, at times, they are clearly running out of money to the point that fluffed lines are in the final cut. But come on, it's not as bad as The Brutalist or Emilia Perez.
As roughly 42 million Americans face the loss of food stamps, far-right influencers and extremists are using the crisis to push racist disinformation about who receives these benefits.
In reality, the majority of people who receive SNAP benefits are white Americans, according to USDA data.

Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_ BREAKING: Per four senior DHS & Trump admin sources, a mass removal of ICE leadership around the country is underway, with up to 12 ICE field office chiefs being removed & reassigned in an effort to increase deportation numbers. I'm told the move is spearheaded by Corey Lewandowski, and a handful of the ICE Chiefs will likely be replaced by Border Patrol & CBP officials, some of whom will be hand-picked by aggressive & controversial Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino. I'm told some of the ICE leadership removed from their positions include the ICE Field Office Directors in: - Los Angeles - Phoenix - Philadelphia - Denver - El Paso - San Diego - Seattle/Portland - New Orleans Border Patrol officials taking over ICE leadership positions would be extremely significant, as Border Patrol and ICE do different things, and I've done numerous ride-alongs/embeds with both.
Generally speaking, ICE typically conducts very targeted operations, largely going after criminal illegal aliens or those with deportation orders, but almost always knowing who they are targeting for arrest, often conducting surveillance to learn their schedules before and waiting hours before arresting them if needed. Border Patrol, under Trump 2.0, while sometimes doing their own targeted operations, has been extremely aggressive and has been at the forefront of some of the most controversial immigration enforcement operations we've seen so far, carrying out roving patrols in Los Angeles, Chicago, etc, often at Home Depot, car washes, flea markets etc, leading to a handful of federal judges around the country issuing injunctions against them. A majority of the viral videos you see online are Border Patrol agents, including the use of a Trojan horse style Penske moving truck at a Los Angeles Home Depot, an operation organized by Bovino. ICE often gets blamed for what Border Patrol does, as the media and activists often cannot tell the difference between federal agents, and everyone is called "ICE". I'm told there are growing concerns about the political and PR fallout associated with some of the roving patrols Border Patrol is conducting as lawsuits continue to stack up and mid-terms approach next year.
I'm told there is significant friction within different wings of DHS and the administration, with Border Czar Tom Homan & ICE Director Todd Lyons preferring to prioritize targeting criminal aliens & the "worst of the worst" or those with deportation orders, while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, and BP Commander Bovino prefer to use aggressive tactics to arrest anyone in the US illegally, including but not limited to criminals, to ramp up deportation numbers and achieve President Trump's promises of mass deportations. I am hearing from both sides of this friction. One senior DHS official tells me: "ICE started with the worst of the worst, knowing every target they are hitting, but since Border Patrol started in LA in June, we've (DHS) lost our focus, going too hard, too fast, with limited prioritization. It's getting numbers, but at what cost?". Border Patrol agents I've talked to defend their tactics, with one telling me: "What did everyone think mass deportations meant? Only the worst? Tom Homan has said it himself, anyone in the US illegally is on the table."
It's quite a situation, as both sides of this are on the same team, with the same end goals, but different perspectives on how to get there. Another DHS official confirmed the personnel changes to me on deep background, adding that the moves are based on performance and doing what is needed to achieve the best results. Official statement to @FoxNews via @TriciaOhio : "While we have no personnel changes to announce at this time, the Trump Administration remains laser focused on delivering results and removing violent criminal illegal aliens from this country." 7:57 PM · Oct 27, 2025 · 29.6K Views
🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.
Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.
