classic example of the former was Ted Cruz telling a room full of Middle-Eastern Christians they should support Israel and getting booed, back in 2014
the latter is Tucker Carlson now talking about Palestinians when and only when a church gets bombed - they need protection

They're gonna have her give a full throated defense of Trump and never release the files.
Also, I gotta imagine they're only going hard on the gas pedal with this because the Dems gave up all their leverage with the shutdown. Trump wasn't gonna free her when he was on the hook for that

The fix is in.
Ghislaine Maxwell, transferred to a club med prison after Trump's lawyer met with her (and she likely spilled what she knows about Trump), is now being waited on "hand and foot" by guards and is getting her commutation application ready with help from the warden.

No one will ever sum up Bari Weiss's career more succinctly than "what's the point of standards"
“Standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She asks ‘What’s the point of standards?’

James Bond is not a real person it's a title. James Bond is dead Long Live James Bond
and that's when they hit on the idea for a bond multiverse
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Democrats don’t understand the attention economy aspect of politics in the slightest. Who is going to pay attention to a vote and blame Republicans in the way they’ve been paying attention to the shutdown and blaming Republicans?

Prevent the left from gaining power so they cannot stop and punish the elite‘s crimes.
Democrats don't want to be an opposition party, and they don't want to be a governing party.
So what is the point of the party?

This is absolutely right.
The eight who signed off on this disaster of a deal were acting as a shield for colleagues who are up this cycle. Don't let any of them off the hook just yet.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
