The Right built a powerful, partisan, & participatory media environment to support its messaging, which offers a compelling "deep story" for its participants. The Left relied upon rigid, self-preserving institutional media and its "story" is little more than a defense of imperfect institutions.
Important to understand. We did not lose the election because of our message or our candidate, we lost because the right controls the information infrastructure. Their message was heard and repeated, ours was not.
The comments below this idiotic post reveal how uninformed the public is. Dems can't "defund ICE" until we take back congress. ICE is fully funded until 2029, to the tune of $170 billion, due to the "Big Ugly Bill". The best we can do here & now is to put limits on how they operate.
C’mon, Chuck. You’re fighting to “rein in” ICE? DEFUND ICE.
This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own.
And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.

Move along, move along. Nothing to see here, just a bunch of sociopathic lunatics playing with laser anti-aircraft weapons. How long before one of these nitwits shoot down a passenger aircraft?
According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

SuperDog Rex did escape & run one night.
Neighbor said Rex showed up at every front door via the Ring Network. So not only do they see their own Ring Camera, but they can see what’s on everyone else’s Ring camera.
We live in a fucked up weird world of paranoia fueled by stranger-danger.

This seems as good an excuse as any for a short thread introducing people to some single moths I've found in my area, looking for fun.

Seriously, get rid of your front door surveillance cameras. It creeps me out that when I take a walk through my neighborhood that each house I pass gets an alert as I pass by. You don’t need to watch your neighbors constantly. It’s a sickness.
NEW: Ring has introduced "Search Party", a horrifyingly dystopian feature nominally designed to turn all of the Ring cameras in a neighborhood into a dragnet that uses AI to look for, in their commercial, a cute lost dog.
With Ring, US consumers are actually building a surveillance dragnet.

RESULT: Democrat Chasity Martinez wins a special election for a legislative seat in Louisiana, 62% to 38%.
This was a district that Trump carried by 13% last year, so a big overperformance by Dems, but the seat was already Dem-held.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

People like to remember Kean Sr. fondly but it's clear he was a snake. And with Jr., the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
A handful of armed R operatives dressed as mall cops, targeting key precincts in pivotal cities, threw the 1981 NJ Gubernatorial Election to Tom Kean. It happens. It's not complicated. And the threat of it happening with the imprimatur of the federal government should be taken seriously.

Bingo.
I just called congressman Kean‘s office to inquire about what he is doing to save the Gateway project funding. The person who answered the phone said that he could not give me any specifics. Which I interpret to mean the congressman is doing nothing.
In his latest newsletter, Rep Tom Kean Junior has nothing to say about any of the Trump regime's latest outrages. It's the silence of the sheep: Kean is just one of House Speaker Johnson's docile flock. That's why #NJ07 voters need to #VoteKeanOut2026 Visit us at onenj7.org

This is the Yale professor's explanation for why he described the physical attractiveness of a student in an email to Epstein. He explicitly says he regrets nothing about their association.

Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota."
