“For years, Christian supremacist ideology was coursing through American conservatism. Now it—& its antisemitism—is out in the open, in the halls of power & scaring Jews.” 11/4/25 (*Incredible* article discussing Tucker, Nick Fuentes, Heritage, Doug Wilson & his protégés, Yoram Hazony, & NatCon.) 1/

NEW: EXCLUSIVE: I spoke to sources at FBI and DOJ that reviewed the Epstein files. It’s worse than the photos. I’ll let you know what they said today at 3:30 PM PT / 6:30 PM ET on @meidastouch.com. Link to show: www.youtube.com/live/hEi77Ib...

It's Journalism 101. Here's a handy flowchart to remind you.

House Republicans are hiding the Epstein files and running a Pedophile Protection Program. Meanwhile. They don’t give a damn about providing affordable healthcare to everyday Americans.

This is so reflective of how awful @nytimes.com & @nytopinion.nytimes.com are at covering American politics & elections. It's all their own anecdotal vibes narratives. This past week showed a variety of approaches, suited to particular electorates, are what works. There's not going to be a...1/

A lot of people who would rather be broke or have their businesses fail than an illegal immigrant get health care, to the point where they’ll accept the former when the latter isn’t even on the table www.reuters.com/world/us/fed...

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons. State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

This NYT framing is ludicrously overstated. Sure, there are primaries. But if anything, the results showed a lot of Dems that there's a way to unify the factions around anti-Trump and affordability politics (as I try to argue in the piece/thread below).

A democracy fighting against an authoritarian movement.

Argentina President Javier Milei doing the “Trump dance” at Mar-a-Lago after getting an $40 billion bailout. Meanwhile, Trump won’t renew subsides for American healthcare.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Democrats are salivating over the possibility of Rep. Elise Stefanik leading the Republican ticket in deep blue New York next year. Stefanik, a zealous Trump ally, launched her gubernatorial campaign Friday—handing Democrats a chance to tie every Republican in the state to Trump’s brand of politics.

Pope Leo has a highly critical attitude towards Opus Dei, as does most of the curia. The question is how severe the crack down is going to be. In any event, Opus Dei acolytes are engaged in heavy-handed manipulations trying to stop the reform, as one might expect.

the sudden resignation of oklahoma's maga republican education chief keeps getting kfor.com/news/oklahom...

WaPo now reads like the NY Post: Asking the most fortunate New Yorkers to pay their fair share is rebranded as dividing society into oppressors v. oppressed. A rough landing for an editorial page that once set the bar.

News 4 has found “more records showing former State Superintendent Ryan Walters paid his executive staff massive bonuses—this time, offering his chief of staff yearly bonuses worth more than the average OK teacher makes in a year, on top of a nearly $200K salary” 11/5/25 1/ kfor.com/news/oklahom...

Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

And Golden’s unfavorability numbers are consistent with him pissing off D voters in his district by catering to R’s, and persuading approximately no R voters to vote for him. It’s all party brand. Embrace being a D and build that brand. That is t OPPOSITE of the Bazelon WelcomePAC quantbrain plan.

Brilliant

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Another abominable editorial from the Wash Post

Wow, sounds like Jeff Bezos is mad (from A Washington Post editorial entitled "Zohran Mamdani’s victory is bad for New York and the Democratic Party")

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Let's see how many First Amendment violations we have in this one edict: Religion ✔️ Speech ✔️ Peaceably assemble ✔️ Petition the government for redress of grievances ✔️ Press ❓(not quite, but they'll figure out a way)

Time after time, Homeland Security’s accounts of its violent incidents in Chicago turn out to be lies. Local journalists and a federal judge have done a good job of calling them out. I wish the national political media had the same level of skepticism toward “official” accounts by proven liars.

Trump "has expressed such outrage at attacks on Christians in Nigeria that he has threatened military intervention there... but here’s the awkwardness: Trump’s aid cuts are killing far more Nigerian Christians than Islamic terrorists are." @nickkristof.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/o...

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant” He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

It’s crazy when young officers up and down the chain are seeking legal cover so they don’t get sued one day for what could be illegal strikes.

Sen Slotkin discusses the unusual predicament our military members find themselves in as they feel they have to obtain legal cover to carry out orders. See our recent open letter where we ask at what point a senior officer may need to refuse to obey an illegal order. substack.com/inbox/post/1...

“Federal authorities told demonstrators Friday that there would be ‘no more prayer’ in front of or inside the Broadview ICE facility, in a move that mystified local leaders and raised legal questions.” blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/07/f...

Every single evangelical church would talk about this on Sunday if a Dem president did it. Every single one.

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

not enough people point out the reason that white evangelicals are demons from hell is that, especially in the south, they have explicitly racially segregated churches under the same denomination

This isn’t a “pause in services.” It’s chemo delayed. It’s insulin rationed. It’s cancer caught later instead of sooner. It’s veterans waiting months for appointments they already earned. This is harm by design. #GOPHealthCareShutdown 1/5

ICE Agents kidnap workers in Chicago in BROAD DAYLIGHT, leaving equipment running behind

Where have Marco Rubio’s daily Bible versus been? This could be today’s: “Thou do not feed the poor and the hungry.” ~ Marco Rubio

1/2 ICE/CPB thugs tackled a nonverbal autistic man outside a Family Dollar in Chicago’s Little Village claiming he was “noncompliant.” Witnesses begged them to stop. “Why they beating up this special boy?” one worker cried. “He comes in every day for a treat. He has the mind of a child.” 🤬🤬🤬

This wasn’t a rogue unit. It was led by U.S. Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino himself. ICE’s “raids”are now state-sanctioned assaults on the vulnerable. This evil attack happened at 26th & Millard on Chicago’s West Side, and America needs to ask: who’s next on their list and how do we stop them?

So in one day, Trump has (1) released a known Russian military intelligence agent from prison; and (2) pardoned a Chinese espionage agent. He appears to seek to actually promote foreign espionage operations on US soil. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Another day, another Republican rape story. This time Arkansas State Rep. Brad Hall. His wife claims he forced her to have sex with other men, inc one who repeatedly raped her. This fine Congressman is trying to get the records sealed, citing "his position as an elected representative"

The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough. 25/47

You are about to see harrowing footage of a father in Fitchburg, MA being brutalized by masked ICE agents while holding his terrified, crying baby. The Trump admin and every ICE agent who terrorizes our communities must be held to account for their inhumane, illegal actions.

Stephen Colbert on Dr. Oz’s claim that the Trump administration’s deal with Big Pharma to lower prices on popular weight-loss drugs will cause Americans "to lose 135 billion pounds” in one year: “I'm not a doctor but… I’m guessing Dr. Oz lost some weight after pulling those numbers out of his ass.”

"In short, he realized that the money wasn’t a guarantee, that his officers involved in the program would need to meet a daily quota of immigration arrests for the city to be reimbursed, and that he would likely need to devote 250 officers to the effort." “Call times would skyrocket.” #287g

Nothing says ‘fit to lead’ like napping through your own medical endorsement. Get Grandpa Don to bed. 🤦🏽‍♂️

How did your press conference go with Trump, Gordon Finlay and RFK Jr? "Well first Trump went to sleep, and then Gordon fell unconscious, and then RFK made a run for it, and then while we were gathered around Gordon, Trump woke up, stood up and just looked into space like a zombie".
