Ben Shapiro is just Sean Hannity with a thesaurus.

Tom Massie's theory of Congress, in a worthwhile profile from @mepfuller.bsky.social of how he was never quite as much his own man as he'd like to think (but Justin Amash was). www.ms.now/news/thomas-...

Please stop calling it a cult, guys.

Arguably the most slam-dunk, lights-out, game over case against Trump was his attempt to steal the 2020 election in Georgia. The Republican most responsible for standing up to Trump to stop the steal just got crushed in the GOP primary for governor.

Here it is. The dumbest thing you’ll read today. “No one should want war between the U.S. and China. But if it comes to that, I know which side I’d rather be on. The team that took Fallujah—twice.”

"It's hard to believe that it would take two centuries for the Lord to raise up a great man to bring that ballroom finally to stand where it needs to stand." A real thing that was said, without shame, at a Christian prayer rally.

Disbar every lawyer who had anything to do with crafting, drafting, approving, and signing off on this most corrupt action ever to disgrace our federal government m, and then prosecute everyone into oblivion

I know it shouldn’t surprise me, but watching the other panelists just smugly waive away Trump’s brazen fraud after years of ranting about Hunter Biden is something to behold. Not an ounce of shame or principle in their entire being.

They believe in nothing.

Funny how after every SCOTUS ruling striking down some protection from government abuse, the officials those protections restrained — cops, prosecutors, Republican state electeds — immediately start acting in the precise manner SCOTUS assured us they no longer do.

I spent the last six years closely following all of the claims by MAGA Inc. of so called "weaponization" of the Biden admin against them and literally every last bit of it was total and complete bullshit. It was fabricated nonsense. And now they're all gonna get rich.

This is the graf where my blood pressure peaked

JD Vance's fraud task force is itself a fraud - it's meant to discredit social services and distract from the Trump administration's attack on the safety net. And it will be carried out with the expected combination of malevolence and incompetence. My latest at MSNOW: www.ms.now/opinion/jd-v...

Meritocracy!

New @ms.now column on the self-pitying, soft-MAGA bro-fest between Bill Maher and John Fetterman on “Club Random” — and why they’re Trump’s useful snowflakes.

Is this the libertarian moment?

Five years ago the national Libertarian Party chose to remain affiliated with this white supremacist cretin (who runs the New Hampshire party), prompting the then-chair to resign in protest, and since then three quarters of the party's members have quit.

Good description of the grievance-to-MAGA pipeline here: "The episode aptly demonstrates how Maher and Fetterman represent a troublesome sect of the non-MAGA chattering class — one represented by wealthy people who have had their feelings hurt to the point that they’re now willfully oblivious..."

The White House and Wall Street are acting like the Iran war is going well. But they're wrong. Badly wrong. Trump isn't getting a deal. Iran has the upper hand. And It won't be too long before the economic problems are unignorable. My latest, in @ms.now, with comparison to the 1973 OPEC oil shock.

Honestly surprised Friedman didn't add a "suck on this" to the 3rd graf.

Trump calls MS NOW reporter ‘dumb’ for pointing out ballooning ballroom cost www.ms.now/news/trump-c...

The Roberts Court has made a lot of jurisprudentially conservative decisions that progressives naturally disagree with. But that’s really not what’s going on anymore. Increasingly its rulings are just partisan. They cannot reasonably be explained by pointing to a conservative judicial philosophy.

Every line of this poster is more baffling than the last, it stopped me dead in my tracks

This is the party that fomented an insurrection based on conspiracy theories about boxes of ballots being destroyed

Meritocracy!

Trump knows he broke the law many times over. Getting away with it is what he’s most proud of.

Granting ICRC access to detainees was a standard risk mitigation measure I used to recommend for U.S. work with military partners. Israel’s refusal to grant ICRC access after Oct 7th was a major red flag—especially after the Biden administration pressed the issue. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

Peter Thiel’s lickspittle Twitter tough guy endorses Spencer Pratt for very heterodox, big-brained, great-man reasons.

Interesting piece, but I resent how Peter Thiel is represented in the Gawker saga. Thiel didn't "emerge from the shadows" to magnanimously tell the NYT he funded Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker. He did it because my colleague and I exposed his involvement. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

Trump suggests a leader cannot safeguard his people if he is overweight and eats unhealthily

Our current Acting CDC Director said his entire plan for pandemic preparedness is to fire everyone responsible for it.

Anti-Semitic attacks are escalating across Britain—and the deflections and protestations of political figures seem to only make things worse, @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social argues.

The days of the FCC as a paper tiger are numbered. What the public will remember is who complied in advance and who fought back. I'm glad Disney is choosing courage over capitulation.

Would genuinely be interested to see what proportion of Free Press coverage used to be about government and negative in tone before the Trump administration, and how this has switched. This story is critical of some governments (European) for stifling dissent, while praising the Trump admin.

Ben Shapiro is just the Harvard educated, rich kid version of Sean Hannity: a predictable hack and shill for whoever’s in charge of the GOP at that given moment.

The ultimate free speech tourist gets his bogus defamation suit tossed.

This is how Trump conducted business, too. Chaos, failure, bankruptcy. Repeat.

The gawker comment troll who ran 4 alts in case someone talked shit about her wedding. No one even reported on her wedding afaict 😂 if they did pls post in the replies I’d like to see the announcement.

WOW: US intel thinks Iran still has ~1,700 ballistic missiles and capacity to rapidly rebuild Shahed drones. That's more than enough to strangle commerce for months. This is a blockbuster report from @johnphudson.bsky.social & crew

Reminder: Sarah Rogers literally revoked the visas of five researchers (and tried to deport one green card holder!) because she DID NOT LIKE THEIR SPEECH She's a type of speech warrior... just not the free kind More here: bsky.app/profile/nina...

John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.

Conservatives: The epidemic of male loneliness is a scourge and we need to have compassion for all the incels worshipping Nick Fuentes. Also Conservatives: Men who have male friends are gay.
