If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

Brendan Carr, head of the FCC, wrote the chapter on it in Project 2025. It’s hard to know what’s worse: The administration’s efforts to intimidate journalists or CBS’s willingness to cave in. Read here to understand the issues: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison suspended two officers for coordinating with Border Patrol in violation of department policy. He said he “intends to terminate them."
Our public records request showed two more instances of officers calling immigration agents, with @kobylevin.bsky.social:

Lol Carr inadvertently made sure that the interview that was solely released on YouTube got a lot of views. Go Stephen Colbert!
The Fox News chyron reads "Latest Dem hoax" at the same time that Brendan Carr confirms that yes, the FCC would've "enforced the law" and gone after CBS had Colbert aired his interview with Talarico on TV

Mercury was only 50 arcminutes (0.8°) above a very young waxing crescent Moon this evening. KAS member Pete Mumbower captured this image from his home in Vicksburg, MI.

No one knows more than traitor to democracy, #ClownCarr, that lies & propaganda are the lifeblood of fascism. He thinks censoring people or programs on TV means no one gets to watch. But the dummy forgot about the Streisand Effect. Any segment Carr takes down now will only gain in popularity. 😂

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036.
She is going to be president someday—it’s just a matter of time.

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid
She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.
