I'm actually very opposed to bullying people off the site. He's fun to have around.

News footage from Portland shows a calm, tranquil city. But an AI video that Stephen Miller texted to Donald Trump shows the city as a burning hellhole. The truth may lie somewhere in between.

Under my guidance, our Washington Post editorial page is now devoted to free markets and individual liberties. Here’s an op-ed sanewashing January 6th.

In this Ohio diner, James still means woke traitor LeBron, not New York attorney general Leticia. But they do know this: We pay our taxes so that the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency can spend his time scrutinizing mortgage documents for houses that aunts purchase for their nieces.

Historians argue that Trump indicting his enemies one-by-one rather than having them murdered in a single night proves he’s not a fascist.

Fantastic interview with Gary Trauner, who has run for House and Senate in Wyoming (and almost won in 2006). We need more Dems like him running for office, thoughtful, frank. A great story about Rahm about halfway throught.

Serious question: does there come a point where everyone admits that Constitutional originalism is just a made-up vibe-based philosophy that gives Republican judges a pretext for ruling however it is that Republicans want them to rule?

Law enforcement says that Charlie Kirk's murder was carried out by a Mormon college drop-out. Some podcasters say it was done by professional Jewish assassins. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Whether it’s Joe Biden attending weekly mass or Donald Trump’s ICE agents shooting a priest in the face with a pepper ball, presidents of both sides have directly engaged with the Catholic faith.

Whether it’s Donald Trump saying J.B. Pritzker should be in jail or Donald Trump being convicted of 36 felonies but not going to jail because the American people re-elected him as president, both sides have been linked to jail time.

Republican Tom Homan says he didn't take a $50,000 cash bribe (he did). But Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse says Homan took the cash in a paper bag (it was specifically a Cava bag). Will either party tell the full truth?

Authorities have arrested a Florida man for intentionally starting the fire that burned Los Angeles's Pacific Palisades. So why does it feel like the fire was started by a cat-eating immigrant from war-ravaged Portland, Oregon?

Doug Wilson co-authored a (plagiarized) book that defended the institution of slavery *as it was practiced in the antebellum South*. This is how Douthat introduced the subject while providing him with the NYT's platform:

Douthat: So, just to take a related example, one of the controversies of many that you’ve been mixed up in has to do with slavery, and whether slavery is absolutely forbidden by the Bible, absolutely forbidden to Christians, or whether it is critiqued, but allowed for.

Wilson: Right.

Douthat: And you think it is critiqued, but allowed for.

Wilson: Right.

Douthat: On this, on a straightforward reading of the New Testament, I would agree with you. I would say, pretty clearly, there is a pretty clear path from the message of the Bible to the abolition of slavery. But there is no moment in the New Testament when Jesus insists on the manumission of slaves.

Wilson: Right.

In this Ohio diner, Kirk still means William Shatner. But they do know this: liberals must treat the dead with more respect if they want to live long and prosper.
