There really is nobody better at this kind of essay than David J. Roth. Nobody.
A life in conservative politics is a shabby, grifting thing; that movement is a sweaty and stupid scrum of influencers and opportunists and true-blue sociopaths scrabbling for monetizable attention or one of the lucrative public-facing sinecures funded by reactionary billionaires. The cost to one's immortal soul aside, that work is demeaning. It demands from those doing it the sort of always-on workload and rolling state of pericrashout inherent to video game streamers, but with much more onerous hair and makeup requirements. The work itself is very easy, and amounts for most of those in the industry to honking away on their specific instrument of grievance in a way that's roughly in time with the sounds being made across the rest of the conservative media space. There is no way to create a symphony out of clammy self-interested buskers who (correctly) understand their job as being louder than everyone else, but the goal here is not the creation of anything beautiful or even coherent so much as it is the making of constant, obliterating noise.

This morning's headlines are the FDA's bullshit claims about covid vaccines killing kids, the DC National Guardsmen shooting, Trump closing Venezuelan airspace, a TEENY TINY headline about Hegseth being the one giving kill orders on helpless fishermen, then this.

And how is she going to justify continuing to support Trump? Well, her charges have largely been Venezuelan immigrants, so clearly the answer is to invade Venezuela.

I wish I were joking.
Arundale once thought Trump was the best thing for the United States. Now she was puzzling through her own politics. Today, she said, she couldn’t vote for Trump in a hypothetical election, but she wondered if there was anything that Trump could do to redeem himself. News reports have suggested Trump might be pressuring Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, the politician most responsible for the mass exodus out of the country. Sitting next to Juliandrys, Arundale spoke into her translation app: “If you could get rid of one, Trump or Maduro, who would you pick?” Juliandrys answered: “Maduro.” That seemed to satisfy Arundale that Trump could still do something beneficial for the Venezuelans she’d cared for.

She squares the circle of Mass Deportation Now by saying he said he was only going to get rid of the criminals, and also ignores the fact that Trump *did* actually rip families apart in his first term! It was one of his major policies!
Even as Trump promised mass deportations last year, Arundale saw nothing incompatible about supporting him while she continued the work she was doing. “He talked a lot about criminals,” she said. “So I was like, ‘Yes, take the criminals.’ I told people he [had been] president already and he didn’t do this. I never thought he could rip people away from their families.”

In a twist that will be shocking to nobody, she claims to have been "not political" for most of her life (which I usually take to mean "doesn't read the news" in a best case scenario), but whoever liked Israel most was her major issue. Also anti-LGBTQ policies.
For most of her life, Arundale never considered herself overtly political. A practicing Jew, she usually voted for candidates who most strongly supported Israel. In recent years, Arundale drifted further to the right. She didn’t like President Joe Biden’s Israel policies. She believed in two genders and that trans women shouldn’t play girls’ sports. In her progressive neighborhood, bookstores sold titles like “The GayBCs.” “I love my gay friends, but they are over-sexualizing kids,” she said.

Thought I'd do something I haven't done in months and take a look at the WaPo homepage to see what the top headlines are. Well, strap the fuck in, because we have yet another "conflicted Trump voter still loves Trump" only this one helps immigrants!

The whole piece is really great, but this part made my eyes widen. Riley Gaines openly admitted to gaming the immigration system and using her political connections to get her non-resident alien husband a green card!
Her husband, a British swimmer whom she had met at the University of Kentucky, had been unable to get a green card due to a requirement that he receive the Covid vaccine. Within a couple of days, Edlow’s office had dropped the requirement, which the immigration official confirmed personally while appearing as a guest on Gaines’ podcast.

Seems pretty safe to say a lot of this crap is either asset flip or AI generated. When video games have names that sound like email spam I get very suspicious. This is the "games to wishlist" section! Lol

“I felt like, being in conservative politics, there would be more, like, masculine men in the conservative movement,” Housley says, “and I find that a lot of them aren’t as masculine as I would have hoped.”

Based on his work I have suffered through in The Atlantic, yes. Writing as onanism at its worst.
Now Williams has written a book about the long hot summer of 2020. He has often imagined himself an heir of Baldwin; here, he could not sound more like Buckley. Summer of Our Discontent: The Age of Certainty and the Demise of Discourse offers a roughly chronological account of the past two decades, from the 2008 election to the protests for Gaza. But editorial indulgence has resulted in such a sludge of footnotes and block quotes that the eye must often dismount and continue on foot. The reader will find here no argument she could not have inferred from the titles of a dozen identical books on wokeness; nothing has been added but sentences.

The media is so stupid.
Because Sweeney has blonde hair and blue eyes, users have claimed that the ad was designed to promote eugenics or is a subtle nod to Nazi propaganda despite the fact that American Eagle has long been inclusive in its advertising and with a Jewish CEO at the helm. “It is one of the loudest and most obvious racialized dog whistles we’ve seen and heard in a while,” alleged a woman on TikTok with 400 followers who has posted multiple videos on the subject including one with 1.4 million views.
