Tom Homan needs a bagman.

Stephen Miller: 40 Brendan Carr: 46 Alex Jones, with God as my witness: 51 Evil ages you, folks.

TODAY at Texas A&M students, faculty, and staff will rally to protect academic freedom! 📢📢

If Tom Homan accepted $50k in cash, on camera, just before the election (per @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social & @carolleonnig.bsky.social ), Dems must immediately demand the entire investigative file and not give DOJ another dollar till they get it. *Our* money is paying for this corruption.

How do these ideas occur to him? Is there a special assistant in charge of terrible, stupid ideas?

Today's ironic loopback is that Harvard thought if they fed their Black woman president to the wolves, the right would just go away. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/u...

In this week's episode of the Political Junkie podcast, @neiljyoung.bsky.social and I discuss the expansion and consolidation of conservative media--and Trump's attacks on free speech. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqde...

This is very funny.

I just detest Meta. Instagram removed a conversation between Zohran Mamdani and Bernie Sanders for the reasons cited below:

As we discuss inciting violence…

Last September Charlie Kirk claimed that Haitian immigrants in Huntsville were "raping your women and hunting you down at night." He said that rural Alabamians faced a future in which Haitian immigrants "will become your masters." www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

Describing Charlie Kirk as the White Citizens Council-version of the KKK is painfully accurate. He wanted to use economic pressure instead of violence to achieve the same racist ends.

I see we're at the "put Jewish people on a special surveillance list" stage of "combating antisemitism"

In our new drop, @neiljyoung.bsky.social and I address the complexities of another deplorable episode of political violence. There's a sample below: you can see our full conversation here: clairepotter.substack.com/p/how-do-we-...

Please give to PBS and NPR. Better yet, give to a local radio or TV station that is struggling with the Trump cuts. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/u...

God bless Claire Potter! "Much like the original conservative youth organizer, William F. Buckley, Kirk was an extremist, one who presented himself as reasonable and common sense, but an extremist all the same. If you listen to his own words, Kirk was a racist and a homophobe." Click and read on.

Tragically, Kirk also believed that a country awash in guns was a good thing, and worth the cost in innocent lives. One of those innocent lives turned out to be his. clairepotter.substack.com/p/death-of-a...

Neil Young and I are busy working on next week’s episode—but according to our stats, last week’s podcast is winner, winner chicken dinner. open.substack.com/pub/clairepo...

Why did some Americans come to think Donald Trump was dead? After the news summary, @neiljyoung.bsky.social and I break it down. Here's the full podcast on YouTube--you can subscribe to our channel separately from the Substack if you choose! youtu.be/6Mb9a3sl0Ks?...

Here's a clip from Neil Young and my latest drop--our news focus this week is last week's rumor that Donald Trump was dead. With shoutouts to @sbg1.bsky.social @dell.bsky.social @freepress.bsky.social @markwarner.bsky.social. See the whole thing at: clairepotter.substack.com/p/not-dead-yet

“A lot of people say don’t talk about the Bible, but I don’t buy in to that one.” If church is important to you, he said, it’s okay to say that; just remember that “Jesus is not going through rush.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I took a deep dive into the Cracker Barrel controversy on Substack, and my palest @nationalmemo.com picked it up! www.nationalmemo.com/cracker-barr...

Cracker Barrel was a culture war waiting to happen. As its executives should have known, MAGA hates change, whether it is losing its Native American mascots, or gay marriage, or contraception. clairepotter.substack.com/p/what-reall...

There is an excellent smart discussion on this issue in the (excellent and smart) podcast from @tenuredradical.bsky.social and @neiljyoung.bsky.social recently: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/j...

On the hellsite, there are trending hashtags that imply Donald Trump is missing or dead. Is that weird or what? Is it because he hasn't done anything weird or outrageous in 24 hours?

The Trump administration already embarrasses me.

This week's podcast at Political Junkie examines the large number of gay men in Donald Trump's White House. But where's Milo? clairepotter.substack.com/p/disco-donald

Nobody intentionally moves to Cleveland. www.instyle.com/taylor-swift...

This is a lie. World War II, on both fronts, ended with Germany and Japan nearly burned to the ground. They surrendered. Vietnam ended with the US literally running away.

Happy to announce that @cubouldercha.bsky.social will be hosting @tenuredradical.bsky.social in Spring 2026 as the annual Cox Family Process speaker, where she will talk about her book "Political Junkie" and Dr Potter also has a podcast--check it out: youtu.be/MH6IUlwXGsM?...

Today’s new podcast drop—after the news, we focus on a true American hero, Congresswoman Sarah McBride. clairepotter.substack.com/p/just-say-n...

To say that slavery was really bad still seems like an understatement. edition.cnn.com/2025/08/19/p...

On our new episode of the Political Junkie podcast, @neiljyoung.bsky.social & I talk about accusations by women who have dated Republican Congressman Cory Mills (FL-07), and why so many MAGA men have a violence problem. If you like it, subscribe to our YouTube Channel youtu.be/5DBtxnIsFkg

@neiljyoung.bsky.social and I are back, with an episode about this week's politics--and a focus on @CoryMillsFL's legal troubles. clairepotter.substack.com/p/bad-guys

I have to say, I find this all more bizarre than anything else. The FBI does not have the personnel to be patrolling city streets, even presuming they knew how to do it. My only other guess is that this is a backdoor way to increase personnel for immigrant arrests.

Learning our history is a radical and righteous form of resistance, and any one of us can do it. trib.al/mpThXI7

@neiljyoung.bsky.social and I devoted our weekly focus to #LauraLoomer and her vexed place in the #MAGA universe of #conspiracy and #CancelCulture : www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCR_...

What a bizarrely reported piece. The writer repeatedly says that the attack was "unprovoked." But the guy was following this buffalo with a rifle, which seems provocative to me. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/w...

Reasons to vaccinate number eleventy and eleventy-one.

You name a hoax, Laura Loomer promotes it, including the 9/11 “inside job” conspiracy, the "stolen" 2020 election, and that a blizzard the day of the 2024 Iowa Caucuses was caused by deep state actors using secret weather technology. W/ @neiljyoung.bsky.social clairepotter.substack.com/p/loomered

Bastards.

Trump's aggression in red states will further polarize the country: www.nationalmemo.com/political-de...

I live in a very Blue town in a very Blue state, and have noticed a range of people who habitually mask in public, often wearing attractive, hand-crafted masks. Is there a portion of the population that always wanted to cover their faces, and now, post-2020, feel free to do it unselfconsciously?
