Bongino saying the quiet--and cynical--part out loud.
In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that.
What a confession.

Who convinced young men that 80's mullets and mustaches were cool? I want to meet this magician and recruit them to actual important causes.

I repeat, yet again, he is not built for this. Entirely out of his depth and could end up blowing a sure thing.
Doesn't take a genius to beat Trump when he's not on the ballot, and his policies annoy most of the country.
But with Jeffries's comments on Cuellar, the border, & his "No Ceiling" slogan, only a donor could love, he could lead Democrats into a UK Labour nosedive.
He's talking to the wrong people.

Democrats’ New Slogan Is a Donor-Class Disaster
It’s time to start the 2028 primary and step over this donor-coddling nonsense.

The good news:
1) Aftyn Behn moved a ruby red district 12 points more blue.
2) She can and should run again in the midterm election.
3) With real investment and good candidates, every R+ 7 or less seat is now in play.
The bad news:
Rural white voters are still the absolute worst.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

I've long believed that there was a point in a person's lefty-ness at which they were so "left," so "liberal" that it was, practically, "right". This is a perfect illustration.
“Citizenship Without Consent,” written by two liberal Yale professors, was panned by academics when it first came out. But the book did find one admirer: an architect of the modern anti-immigration movement. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/k0Fv0-
The Liberal Scholars Who Influenced Trump’s Attack on Birthright Citizenship
The President’s executive order took inspiration from an esoteric legal argument from 1985, by two Yale professors. They have some regrets.
