weird as it is to say, buzzfeed was a much more serious new operation than the free press has ever been but yes
This has me thinking how much Ben Smith’s entire trajectory is just mildly glorified bari Weiss

I think immigration makes this country great and I don't care what anyone else thinks.
This is also a place being rhetorically pro-immigration could be good. "I think immigration makes this country great and I don't care what anyone else thinks."

My dream is for a reporter to ask a politician, "What would you do to reduce immigration?" and for the politician to answer, "Why the fuck would I want to reduce immigration?"

"Unpopular opinion on an issue most people don't really care about one way or another" is a loss leader to strengthen the electorate's trust that you believe in anything at all.

Yes. Also voters like it when you stand for something. "I don't care if Republicans think we're wrong or if it's not popular, I'm standing up for my neighbors and friends" has benefits beyond the issue itself.
I think Democrats should double down on trans rights now. It's obvious that most voters don't care about it so you might as well stick with your principles and goad Republicans into focusing on it at the expense of everything else so they're the ones who look like freaks.

Generic polling is dumb but! I do think this is indicative of depressed Republican turnout.
Like I've said before, I don't want to convert MAGA to voting for Dems (I don't know if we can). I want to be demoralized so they STOP participating politically, which is more realistic than conversion

Not a great snapshot of what Election Day would look like on its own, but as a snapshot of how many Republican voters would stay home it's illuminating. A whole lot of Trump voters are feeling like suckers right about now

Union forces had suffered some 5,800 casualties but inflicted twice that on the rebels. When a chaplain asked General Thomas whether the dead should be sorted and buried by state in the new military cemetery, the Virginian who stayed loyal replied "Mix 'em up. I'm tired of states' rights.” (21

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

It's still so funny that even after Breitbart, NewsMax, The FP, etc all "their" outlets that they've given perks in the WH press pool, they still go leak to WSJ and NYT instead.
It's so fucking funny how many people are leaking to the wall street journal. Like it's the only reputable publication they know.
Exclusive: Republicans plan to challenge vehicle-safety mandates, such as automatic emergency braking and alarms that remind drivers a child is in the back seat.

What does Witkoff get from it? Is it just that Russia bribed him enough?
EXCLUSIVE: US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russia on how to pitch Ukraine plans to Trump, in audio files reviewed by Bloomberg
Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.
