People are treating Chris Whipple's Susie Wiles articles in Vanity Fair today as big news - the NYT even recapped them. But Wiles is no dummy; she knows how to work the press. These articles read like a Trump press release, excuse after excuse with no pushback. It's the anti-Chotiner interview. 1/

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv.

The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

The classic Goebbels approach. In the period 1934-38, Germans were subjected to relentless stories about grotesque crimes committed by Jews, Poles and gypsies, all part of a carefully orchestrated campaign of demonization. And in 2025, Jonathan Greenblatt and the ADL approve of this message.
Fox & Friends and Pam Bondi are now sensationalizing specific instances of Somalis being charged with crimes in Minnesota to demonize the whole population

Oddly enough, in media coverage of Dems' video warning against carrying out illegal orders, there's very little discussion of *whether it's actually reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal commands or not.*

The evidence is strong that he is. Media should say so:

There’s one person squarely to blame for Trump’s corruption, authoritarianism & assault on democracy: John Roberts. He’s enabled so much of Trump’s lawlessness while somehow escaping accountability for it

This is all John Roberts’ fault
Trump owes his corrupt and abusive reign to one man.

Mary Bruce, ABC News reporter: Mr. President, why wait for congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?

Trump: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude… I think the license should be taken away from ABC. We have a great commissioner, a chairman who should look at that

NEW: Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about.

DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.

Democratic Socialism is definitely not communism. But there has long been a raging debate among socialists regarding what it actually is, hence the errors and ambiguities reflected in this and other MSM "explainers." 1/
Some compare Democratic socialism to communism. Here's how the movements differ
While critics have deemed Zohran Mamdani's Democratic socialist beliefs as "communist," historians contend the group has actually built off democratic principles.

NEW: DHS secretly obtained Chicago police data on 900 residents accused of gang ties. It was quietly deleted after intelligence officers violated rules against domestic spying.

The handoff came well after city inspectors formally announced CPD's gang data was deeply flawed and infected w/ bias.
DHS Kept Chicago Police Records for Months in Violation of Domestic Espionage Rules
The Department of Homeland Security collected data on Chicago residents accused of gang ties to test if police files could feed an FBI watchlist. Months passed before anyone noticed it wasn’t deleted.
