i was ready with some sick quotes from northerners after the John Brown trial if it went the other way, but this'll do

Don't miss Jeanine Pirro promising Sean Dunn would be sorry in August. youtu.be/6NR1K2drXk8?...

This actually sounds more like incompetent prosecuting than jury nullification. Though ... why not both, I guess www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

“Sandwich guy” tells me it was “heartening” to get so much support from his fellow Washingtonians but that he’s “not comfortable” with the “hero” narrative. I asked him if he thought DC residents were registering their dissent by finding him not guilty, he said “perhaps.”

I’m sure the defendant is salty he had to go through this ham-handed trial, but he’s relishing the spicy coverage of his acquittal www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

12 Hangry Men.

Not all heroes have capers

The jury trial, ladies and gentleman teachingamericanhistory.org/document/the...

Sure, but how many FIFA Peace Prizes does she have?

Ummm, without in anyway defending Neuhaus, Kevin Roberts obviously knew what Roberts—in Roberts' own voice—said in the video before they posted it! Maybe... look inward?https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/11/06/heritage-foundation-tucker-carlson/

No idea what will happen with this. But one thing about Tuesday night's results is that even with the *current map,* Dems could conceivably flip 4 seats in California...

Once again: Unionize Heritage

When POTUS literally said he's going to replace income tax with tariffs, it can't possibly be your argument in court that the tariffs are "regulatory" and not revenue raising. What is this BS?

Well...https://www.reuters.com/article/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/subway-chain-apologizes-for-salmonella-outbreak-idUSTRE65K5W3/

"[Cuomo] is like Napoleon. He will return to his island of Elba, called the Hamptons, to his billionaire friends, and he will spend every day plotting a return one way or the other. That's all he does.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The Cuomo supporter/MAGA backlash against Sliwa is ridiculous for like a million reasons, but the most obvious is that (at least currently) Mamdani HAS A MAJORITY! If every single Sliwa voter had instead voted for Cuomo, Mamdani would *still* be winning by ~35K votes.

Meanwhile, in Texas, Carter Page is defeating George Foreman's son

I am a child of divorce but I'm not ready for this lol.

MS/NBC breakup feels so real bc Steve Kornacki isn't on my screen.

I think "first Democratic woman governor" is really stretching the concept of "historic firsts"

Trump said a reason to nuke the filibuster is changing voting rules. Today, Leavitt made clear they are contemplating a future where Dens never regain power: "We know that Democrats, when they—IF THEY—are ever given a chance at power again in this city, they will absolutely take away the filibuster"

"He thought it was funny. Well he doesn't think it is funny today, because we charged him with a felony."—Jeanine Pirro, 8/13/25

Lairmore testifies that other agents gave him a plush sandwich toy, which he placed on the shelf in his office, and a patch that said "Felony Footlong," which he put on his lunch box. Lairmore has chuckled with the rest of us at times. Defense really trying to underscore the unseriousness of it all

i can't believe this is real

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest. The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says. "I could smell the onions and mustard."

we know Zohran knows the Mourinho "If I speak" meme because he actually quoted it in an interview earlier this summer

Across the spectrum, the poll aggregators (clockwise from top left: heterodox, MAGA, establishment, Resistance) seem to agree that the bottom is falling out

It's kind of fascinating to think about which Trump supporters got in line behind Cuomo and which ones refused

Overnight court filings seem to be giving us a peek at what U.S. Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino said in his deposition so far (it apparently continues today):

never stop posting

I don't know for sure what the right solution to this trend is, but it probably involved *not* closing the polling stations in response to thing that are almost certainly hoaxes

Imagine supporting this... let alone *doing* it

"[Chicago mom] Andrea Soria... overheard her 6-year-old whisper to her dolls: 'We have to be good or ICE will get us.'" apnews.com/article/chic...

I have carefully analyzed all the data and have concluded that if you want to defeat a talented political candidate with whom you strongly disagree, you should find a different candidate to support who doesn't totally suck

the bleakest moment in this article is the point where a heritage staffer, horrified by fuentes, discovers that "a growing number" of heritage interns are groypers

“'Talking with some of the interns I think that there are a growing number of them who actually agree' with the views Fuentes espoused."

Meanwhile, on the Everything App...

Crazy how much some media has normalized the idea that voters are taking a risk if they elect governors/mayors who will defy Trump. That he’ll threaten their funding, etc. Try to imagine, say. Greg Abbott being asked if he’s worried that Biden will punish Texas over his lawsuits.

Unionize Heritage

oh, wow—that's an important win for press freedom that took... 13 years

Yeah, it's silly to equate this to what Porter did. Palmeri asked perfectly reasonable questions, and Kat politely and repeatedly declined to answer, and then politely ended the interview

This is such a funny NYTism... apparently they thought the "comic strip" was too obscure to name?

People—including Supreme Court justices—should do what they believe is right and effective, and it's fine when they disagree about what that is. We need justices who prioritize making rulings 30 percent better, as well as justices who publicly raise alarms about what the court is doing

There was a time when Hot Air was a generally useful and even insightful source of conservative news analysis. These days, they are running this incredible "Editor's Note"

Meanwhile on X, the conservative movement is locked in an existential debate between "It's antisemitic to criticize Likud" and "Well, maybe Nick Fuentes has a point."

Again, there was a four-year-old interregnum, including two years when Dems controlled Congress, when they could have reformed the Insurrection Act. Dems literally needed to convince 10 Senate Republicans that Joe Biden shouldn't be allowed to deploy the Marines to forcibly vaccinate you or whatever

Most of what Platner says in this clip is introspective and thoughtful, though—as Psaki points out—what he's describing here is 1) other politicians running against him in a democracy, 2) scrutiny of his past political writing, and 3) a tattoo that he immediately agreed needed to be covered up

I don't doubt that a dystopian era of sophisticated, AI-generated disinformation is coming at some point, but for now, the most effective social media hoaxes still seem decidedly low-tech

Honestly, I voice a large number of bad ideas in editorial meetings (you all do, too, probably), and I would be annoyed if my colleagues anonymously anonymously leaked the worst ones
