Reading Marco Rubio’s speech about how “western civilization” is about embracing God, rejecting the foolish ideal of cosmopolitanism, and celebrating the genius of bands like The Beatles who were founded by the guy who wrote that song about a world with no countries or the concept of heaven & hell.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio giving a speech that is basically an extended version of the ethnonationalist Proud Boys oath: “I'm a proud Western chauvinist, I refuse to apologize for creating the modern world.”
The Rubio speech really is appalling, and if you haven’t read it yet, you should.

I've read my grandfather's diaries, written in the 1960's, and I can assure you that his generation of conservatives did not see the Beatles as part of western civilization. The phrase "jungle rhythm" appeared several times.

France correctly approaching the exposure of an international pedophile ring as a prosecutorial problem; not taking the American route of doing damage control for the elite.
French prosecutors are reviewing the Epstein files and ties to French nationals to determine any criminal wrongdoing.

Government is nothing more or less than people serving people. It's so refreshing to see a politician who gets that - and embraces it with joy.
Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.

A reminder that turning the military MAGA is a core priority for Trump 2. This is why he appointed Charlie Kirk and Bannon’s Daughter to the boards of the military academies.

Fundamentally by responding to MAGA Republican moral panics by trying to emulate their policies they created the illusion the moral panic was real. A case of elite projection. Just like the entire anti-trans movement, especially around sports.
Remarkable: Majority of working class voters oppose deportations of undocumented immigrants with jobs/no criminal records, per new Marquette data.
Remember how pundits said 2024 meant Dems must become restrictionist to win back working class? I challenge that here:
