It needs to be said. On repeat.
The answer to our immigration crisis is readily available, and always has been. It requires political leaders (let’s call them Democrats) to tirelessly advocate for legal solutions — paths, programs — to be enshrined in law. 1/

Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator?
This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

The Cracker Barrel thing was THIS YEAR. We have three more years of this shit. Anybody who makes it to 2028 without looking like Nosferatu will be required by the state to start a skincare brand.

Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden.

This latest threat to shut down hospital services and interfere with the private medical decisions of health care providers and families is a cruel, political attack on the LGBTQ+ community.

This struck me too. As Anne Applebaum doesn’t mention, she wrote a classic history of the Gulag.
The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.
Americans once opposed this inhumane system.
The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

Donald Trump had reasonable concerns about how Joe Biden’s relatives enriched themselves through his service. Yet his own family is making the “Biden crime family” look small-time

Bari Weiss has only failed upwards propped up by the oligarchs she sucks up to. The reality is that her politics are odious and people can't stand her. The political class giving her clout have their heads up their asses. No one likes this stuff.

Bari Weiss’ much-hyped CBS News town hall with Erika Kirk was a massive ratings flop
According to Nielsen, the Saturday night town hall saw a 27 percent decline in viewership compared to the network’s standard programming in that time slot year to date.
