Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

The health care tax credit is a big deal. Without it:
4 million people lose their health insurance
Premiums double for more than 20 million Americans
One example: An older couple making $85K could see their premiums skyrocket to $25K per year—almost 30% of their income.

One of my favorite moments in the history of free speech: Larry Flynt publishing a satirical Campari ad featuring Jerry Falwell Sr. as an incestuous drunk who first had sex with his mother in an outhouse. Falwell sued. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court found that satire is protected speech.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Two innocent children are dead and the far right are racing to use it as pretext to further eradicate trans people. This mass shooting had nothing to do with the shooter being trans and everything to do with them being radicalized online by a nihilistic murder cult that worships mass shooters.

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next.

There is no motive or deeper meaning behind this mass shooting. The shooter wasn't far right or far left. Their ideology was mass shooter.
There's a nihilistic violent extremism radicalization pipeline for mass shooters that has inspired at least 3 school mass shootings in just the last year.

They could do this exact same thing for anyone prescribed abortion pills or birth control. This is a playbook that spells the end of medical privacy in the United States.
The DOJ subpoenas to providers of gender affirming care wanted the therapy notes, social security numbers, and addresses of patients. This is an unprecedented and disgusting violation of medical privacy.

This is nazi logic. The Nazis would redistribute the confiscated property of Jews to the German populace as an incentive to support their mass deportation to concentration camps.

JD Vance jets off to Montana for a secret meeting with Rupert Murdoch and Fox News brass—then days later, the WSJ drops that Trump-Epstein bombshell. Feels like he was trying to kill the story. But Vance is a snake, so who knows. Trump better watch his back.
