These people always pitch themselves as savvy Real America Whisperers but constantly talking about how Republicans are right and Democrats are annoying is abysmal electoral strategy.
Talk about how minorities aren't a threat, billionaires are!

It just wasn't a big, newsworthy deal like, for instance, the college applications of a mayoral candidate to a school he didn't get into or attend.
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015
What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

With Zohran Mamdani on the verge of winning the NYC mayoral race, after Cuomo and so many others leaned on post-9/11 era Islamophobia to discredit him, it feels cosmic that Dick Cheney died today. The arc of empire bends toward reckoning.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.
David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.
Here's their story.

Oh — new reporting on Pope Leo from El Paso Matters, citing footage they have of yesterday's meeting.
Sounds like the pope was even *more* forceful in urging U.S. bishops to speak out about immigration than first reported.
I mean, that's…not subtle. elpasomatters.org/2025/10/08/e...

This piece gets at something that I've been struggling to articulate: We've seen this exact push-pull before. When Republicans were out of power in the 1990s they invented "political correctness" to pretend they were being censored. Then they went right back to censoring once they had power again.
