The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I don’t buy for one second that Trump voters didn’t know Project 2025 would be his playbook. They just didn’t think it would touch them. Oops!

CNN needs to own its role too, letting Trump lie unchecked and pushing that lazy “both sides” framing between him and Kamala Harris.

China then immediately pulled out of its...

Leaked texts on Scott Bessent’s phone suggest the White House got played bailing out Argentina—and U.S. soybean farmers are the casualties

Last year in London I needed a quiet place to work. Settled into a cafe in a literal crypt. Right after I did, a person wearing bells came in to say 100 Morris Dancers would be following. For the next hour they traipsed in and out, jingling as I tried to write.
