Immigration has currency in a way that did not. Francis needed time to consolidate power, and he dealt in Viganò’s case with stuff that meant nothing to those on the outside. Immigrants are Leo’s life’s work, and they will keep the church viable. It is a rare meeting of principle and salesmanship.
Sir, Rome doesn’t work that way. It took Viganò doing a million schismatic things before Pope Francis finally excommunicated him.

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

A confidant of Bill Pulte provided confidential mortgage pricing data from Fannie Mae to a principal competitor, alarming officials of the govt-backed lending giant who warned it could expose Fannie Mae to claims it was colluding with a rival to fix mortgage rates.

The alarmed officials got fired.
"Emails reviewed by The Associated Press show that Fannie Mae executives were unnerved about what one called the 'very problematic' disclosure of data by Lauren Smith, the company’s head of marketing, who was acting on Pulte’s behalf." apnews.com/article/fann...

there's lots of talk about federal agents leaving chicago. details are still murky, but reports suggest greg bovino and other higher ups are skipping town.

regardless of what happens, border patrol was only the most visible, most brutal occupying force. the abductions won't stop once bovino leaves.

This is a newspaper that published numerous stories about a 17 year old from Uganda checking a box on a college form that said “African American”
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.

ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.

something I find very telling is the attitude among normie dems these days

in Trump 1.0, the Times was the center of the “resistance” - often fueling with the Post for what felt like daily scoops

in Trump 2.0, the paper’s disinterest in actual adversarial reporting is noticeable and people are mad
I think there are a number of people employed at the New York Times -- certainly not all of them, but many! -- who simply do not grasp how badly the paper's credibility has been shaken over the past few years, along several different axes, and for multiple different reasons
