My friendly advice for any news outlet struggling to now cover the Pentagon would be to adopt a COCOM-based strategy for coverage. Send reporters down to Tampa and Miami and Colorado Springs and have them develop sources there. The COCOMs were often “leakier” than the Building anyway.

As gently as I can say this, “the kind of people who go to No Kings are not the kind of people who would ever do anything real like direct action in an ICE raid” is not a sentiment with its finger on the pulse of the American pissed-off normie

Just got my annual Antifa membership pack in the mail - great work team! Love the laminated multilingual membership cards, and the logo’d mint tea and scarf were a delight! See you all at the farmers market this weekend!

Republicans are liars. Outrageous that Johnson has not sworn in Adelita Grijalva, the Democrat who won a special election LAST MONTH in Arizona. He just doesn't want her to force his hand and release the Epstein files bc Trump is probably all over them. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/u...

Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight.

That is not a foundation of our democracy.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
