Bari Weiss going from purported brave defender of free speech and open debate to chief censor of reporting about a federal concentration camp is so grimly hilarious

Brennan might as well be on the White House payroll like Leavitt. For all we know, she is.

"HOLIDAYS ARE COMIN'! 🎶 HOLIDAYS ARE COMIN'! 🎶 HOLIDAYS ARE COMIN'! 🎶 HOLIDAYS ARE COMIN'!" 🎶

Rick Steves is an American treasure. Just all-around, one of the absolute best of us.

This is not surprising, but explains a lot... 😔

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Woman comes to US at age 6. Graduates nursing school. Work permit. No criminal record. Snatched and imprisoned by ICE for 6 months now. About to be forced back to Honduras. A life destroyed and one less nurse. Merry Christmas. www.nola.com/news/educati...

That 17% is what we call the "Deplorables"

Sorry, but these people are a threat to everyone around them. They need to be outed and then shunned from society, as one would do to serial killers.

Living through the Trump administration is like living through an alternate timeline where the Confederates won the Civil War and the Nazis won WW2.

I wonder if Trump dead by Spring is an open secret that the press corps will report as an open secret that everyone knew about and it's then that I will explode into a million pieces of Shoe.

Protip: if you’re a callow ignorant dipshit, one way not to get tricked into doing bigoted things is not to hang out with bigots. Safer still, just avoid streamers, influencers, and YouTubers. Middle-aged podcasters are ok if they wanted to hang with you, which they do not.

They aren’t just offensive, they’re so stupid. Or maybe that makes them more offensive?

This is a voter problem, boys and girls. If you want the Democrats to do more and to be able to stand up to Trump, you need to elect more of them. People are like football coaches that only field 7 players on defense against the other team's 11. And then start yelling "YOU DIDN'T STOP THE RUN!!"

I'm so happy she is suing them.

indeed

Yesterday, National Review published a scorching commentary by Jim Geraghty where Trump was excoriated for his comments on Rob Reiner. But at the end of the piece--strangely tacked on, I thought--was an attack on Brown University for this exact thing. Hours later, we see this from Trump...

Making the most depressing point I can make yet again: the US media is going to treat Donald Trump with far less vitriol in response to him starting a random war in Venezuela vs the sheer level of vitriol that they hurled at Joe Biden for ENDING the War in Afghanistan.

there is really no difference between the current administration and having the country run by david duke

Should be most of the vote in now for Kentucky's #SD35 (Harris+5) special election: Gary Clemons (D)- 72.6% Calvin Leach (R)- 25.1% Wendy Higdon (Libertarian)- 2.3% It's an over 40 point overperformance from 2024 for the Democrats!

Remember kids, if you buy boxes, shipping supplies, office supplies, or industrial supplies DO NOT SHOP ULINE.

‘The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God’ Leviticus, 19:34

I'm not a religious scholar, but Matthew 25 tells me that if you work for ICE or defend its oppression of the stranger and the persecuted, you might be going to Hell. “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Fantastic...Just fantastic. We're all going to needlessly die.

Just in time to be torn down!

If you were alive in 1981, you likely remember Luke and Laura's wedding. Another huge loss...

"Come hang out in Hell with the demons!" Matty says.

Absolutely vile. We've had presidents before who were terrible people, but never one who was so shamelessly, publicly terrible. This behavior should not be excused, much less celebrated.

This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants

4 You love all words that hurt, * O you deceitful tongue. 5 Oh, that God would demolish you utterly, * topple you, and snatch you from your dwelling, and root you out of the land of the living!

Psalm 52 1 You tyrant, why do you boast of wickedness * against the godly all day long? 2 You plot ruin; your tongue is like a sharpened razor, * O worker of deception. 3 You love evil more than good * and lying more than speaking the truth.

People now reporting Reiner and his wife were allegedly killed by their son, Nick, who has struggled with drugs and homelessness people.com/rob-reiner-w...

I'm devastated. It's starting to sink in and all I can say is what a monumental loss... I'm in tears for his family and all his friends. My God, he just touched so many lives.

“The LA Fire Department said a man and a woman were found deceased inside, approximately 78 and 68 years old.” Rob Reiner is 78. His wife, Michele Singer, is in her 60s. www.nbclosangeles.com/investigatio...

ICE is thug scum

If you think innocent people deserve to die because of the actions of a government half a world away, you've lost your moral compass. It's evil. Log off and stay logged off. Ponder why your heart has grown so cold.

Nine former DOJ attorneys investigating UC antisemitism told LAT they were pressured to conclude that campuses had violated the civil rights of Jewish students and staff even though this clearly was not the case.

NEW: 9 ex-DOJ lawyers who resigned from antisemitism investigations into UCLA and other UC campuses say they were pressured to find UC guilty of violations in a rushed and politically motivated process. One called it a "fraudulent and sham investigation." www.latimes.com/california/s...

Today, I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his wife, Jennifer. In April, when I met with him in El Salvador, Trump said he would never set foot in the U.S. again. This case has never been about one man alone; if the govt can violate the constitutional rights of one, all our rights are threatened.

URGENT: I need a Minneapolis immigration attorney for a client in the hospital and likely detained by ICE. If anyone here has contacts with someone, or better yet practices in this area, please reach out to me via DM.

ICE's deportation of a student on a Thanksgiving visit—against a court order—was part of a sweeping, secret program to deport people before they can fight back.

Are we great yet? My friends, go get your MMR booster. I did it in January. Takes 2 seconds at your pharmacy.

Pardon me, but *holy shit* chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdog...

Strangely enough, I just watched the first episode of "The Studio" last night. If you have seen it, you'll know.

I cannot express how dangerous DOJ's actions are to free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028. Access to and the misuse of this data is almost certain to be the central fight for the 2026 midterms. Yet, too few are paying attention and treating this as seriously as they should.

The devastation I feel about this attack on science in particular is hard to cope with. It’s like watching my dad die all over again. I would do anything to spare someone a death via pancreatic cancer.

The Atlantic defending the racist Cinnabon worker makes me grateful that I never got around to subscribing to The Atlantic. (I'll note that this is the second such declaration I've made in the last month, which doesn't reflect well on The Atlantic.)

It's always fascinating to see how people respond to character tests.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Senate Republicans reject new congressional maps in defiance of Trump’s redistricting push.

WOW. So this is obviously a huge violation of this man's rights, and it illustrates a few things we're seeing broadly: - DHS officers are ignoring peoples' IDs and instead requiring screening through their own systems - Confirms @404media.co's reports of use of DHS's facial recognition app.
