"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone."
Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I don’t understand why Trump has to threaten Iran again over their nuclear program when he angrily insisted months ago that international proliferation experts were wrong and he completely obliterated their program and set them back many years with his previous bombings.

After 20+ years of saying Democrats were coming for your guns it’s going to be Trump who is coming for your guns and to get rid of the second amendment. This is what a wannabe dictator does. He can’t have the people he controls have guns. They could fight back if they do. Wake up MAGA.

Just a quick note about Bovino being moved and the other aesthetic politicoplasty the Trump administration is undertaking:
Don't be fooled. Don't get all Susan Collins-y about it. Trump hasn't learned his lesson. He never will.

Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.
If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

Noem and Bovino justified Pretti's murder, saying Pretti was brandishing a gun. Kash Patel says you can't bring a gun to a protest, even if you legally carry one.
Guess they forgot about Trump supporters in Michigan protesting Gretchen Whitmer in April of 2020.
