Imagine the disappointment when they can't find the conspiracy they already convinced themselves of.
Absolutely no one should be able to make a surprise visit to an undisclosed government location, demand documents, and leave.
And no one without a clearance should be able to be “waved in” to a highly secure facility because she’s married to a relative of the subject of the files being sought.

Why hasn't Mamdani condemned QR code menus at restaurants? An anxious public wants to know.
The Mamdani discourse is a lot, but it reflects a general lack of Democratic leadership elsewhere.
With an inspiring Democratic president, powerful leaders in the House and Senate and a charismatic DNC chair, there wouldn't be such focus on the New York City mayor. We don't have any of the former.

Re Mamdani discourse I know some folks will not like hearing this but feels like the convo is becoming way too saturated. I really appreciate this guy and am marveling his win. And, I love New York but the world doesn't revolve around it.

There is an entire bizarre genre and cottage industry in legacy media of articles written by old people baffled by the romantic relationships of young people and peddling it as if it is newsworthy.

Cannot overstate how, from my perch as a national-security reporter, this would have been an earth-shattering scandal in a prior era.
Billionaire Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, pardoned by Donald Trump, has been accused of facilitating millions of dollars’ worth of payments to Hamas in the wake of its attack on Israel on October 7 2023. Zhao also financed the Trump family's entrance into the cryptocurrency market.

I'm increasingly convinced that the dead internet theory is real. In 10-20 years I wonder if the internet will be like cable television. Yeah, it's there but no one under the age of 75 uses it or takes it seriously.
It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Anyone else notice that the "day of mourning" on social media for the du jour dead celebrity is now leaning to incredibly obscure ppl that I don't think anyone ever even knew of before? The internet version of the dude who shows up to the funeral saying how close they were but no one knows him.

You - yes, you Ds specifically - will need SOF & just because the SEALs have cultivated a far right internal culture it doesn’t warrant disbanding a critical strategic asset.
75RR is fine. Others too.
Infantry can’t do HR, hard target defeat, sensitive SI. Stop claiming it can, it’s wishcasting.
