That racist, fascist leaked group chat? The youngest participant was 24.

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid"

We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

Brown rejects the compact!

President Paxson’s letter references the views of stakeholders - & I know as an alum how activated the Brown community was while the school considered its response - an important reminder of how much organizing matters

Calling for gas chambers. Expressing love for Hitler. Endorsing rape. Using racist slurs.

I'm demanding Rep. James Comer open a House Oversight Committee investigation into these shocking, deeply offensive messages that were exchanged by Young Republican leaders from across the country.

The con worked, until it didn’t?

ROGAN: “I really thought they were just going to go after the criminals… I really thought there was enough gang members.”

ME: He still doesn’t get it. That’s what Trump wanted everyone to believe. They’re not even trying to go after “the criminals”.

Sorry to harp on this, but another almost-unbelievably terrible unsigned editorial from WaPo. This one has a crucial "tell" that Murdoch's Fleet Street team is in full control.

The tell: Would any US writer refer to Trump as "the American," the way the WaPo does in passage below?

A Washington Post editorial which refers to Trump as "the American."
