If you lose Fox News on basic human decency, you’re not leading. You’re rotting.

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety.

We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read:

He is descended from Russian Jews—you know, the kind of people who were once denounced as alien and unassimilable. Today, his project is to unleash government persecution of those he deems alien and u...

The sociopathic tone of glee and mockery is bad enough, but that's really not the worst of it. He made up a claim that a Trump supporter had done it, *in order to say that would be good and justified.* Unambiguously telling his most insane cult followers that murdering his opponents makes him happy.

James Talarico’s message to Gen Z: “You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you.

Your boss, your landlord, and your insurance company cares about politics.

And until you care about politics, they're gonna keep using the political system to screw you over.”

Republicans spent years attacking Hunter Biden’s foreign ties. Meanwhile, Jared Kushner raised billions from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. And now he sits at the center of U.S. media consolidation and back-channel diplomacy. The double standard is glaring.

Jared Kushner is backing a 'hostile takeover' of US infrastructure: analysis
Salon reporter Sophia Tesfaye says “the speed and scale of Jared Kushner’s re-emergence can’t be overstated,” and neither can his corruption.“In the first year of Donald Trump’s second presidency, hi...

Across America, people are posting that this message by Donald Trump is one of the most contemptible and grotesque ever made by a public figure.

And I am telling you that it is significantly worse than you think it is.

This was a preemptive justification for what Trump presumed was a MAGA murder.

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

With this latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%.

It's the guns!!! :(

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

As Hanukkah begins, I’m thinking of the victims of the horrific attack in Sydney. The Jewish community has always been resilient, but this shows we all must continue standing together against antisemitism.

Gabby and I hope everyone celebrating Hanukkah can find peace and light.

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."
