Bari Weiss is just Elise Stefanik without the winning personality.

Since I’m getting “what did I miss” from alot, Paramount Plus, owner of CBS spiked the El Salvador CECOT prison story yesterday on 60 minutes because it made the White House look bad. Cancel paramount plus Censorship. Bari Weiss

When a major media outlet openly capitulates to the political agenda of the executive branch, they are no longer part of the fourth estate. They are state-run media. Add Bari Weiss and CBS to the list of those who have betrayed our Republic.

We will never be able to put our country back together until we prosecute those who are breaking the law multiple times a day. It’s what should have happened four years ago and it is a huge part of the reason we are in this mess today.

Hot take: having an incoherent septuagenarian scream-lecture America like a man arguing with a self-checkout machine that keeps yelling “unexpected item in the bagging area” might not actually be the emotional support animal we need right now.

I’ve discovered something. People who put up with taxpayer-funded attacks (kidnapping, assault, concentration camps) on our communities believe that banning guns is extreme.

I wish Mark were alive today to create drawings based on each Cabinet secretary and their corrupt connections. #marklombardi

Trump’s ‘Bah! Humbug!’ address suggests he is feeling the chill of opinion polls

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

“Critics aren’t buying it. The progressive veterans advocacy group VoteVets called the planned cuts ‘outrageous,’ adding, ‘It is abundantly clear that Republicans and the Trump administration want to strangle the VA until it all gets privatized.’” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

"While many prominent athletes, including LeBron James and Stephen Curry, criticized the Trump administration during its first term, fewer have done so during its second. 'I feel like I’m sometimes screaming into the void,' Martina Navratilova said."

"I will not be quiet. Not speaking out — it equals resignation." Tennis legend Martina Navratilova on the importance of standing up to Trump and his enablers:

It would benefit Trump, so expect him to make it happen.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

Timely

National security specialist Anne Applebaum wrote: “The new National Security Strategy is a propaganda document, designed to be widely read. It is also a performative suicide. Hard to think of another great power ever abdicating its influence so quickly and so publicly.” @hcrichardson.bsky.social

A Utah judge Friday refused to halt her landmark ruling that struck down the GOP-led legislature’s gerrymander. The decision means the court-ordered, fairer map — which gives Democratic and independent voters a meaningful chance at representation — remains on track for the 2026 elections.

Mockler: But my problem is that a lot of very impressionable Americans who are distraught around this time were taken advantage of by a president who is using incendiary rhetoric before the election even happened.

Cassidy continues to pay lip service to the public health catastrophe he created with his cowardice.

“OK, you can gerrymander to cheat in elections, but only if it hurts nonwhite voters.” - US Supreme Court

When I have food that starts looking like this, I throw it out. I suggest the United States does the same.

Hey America, if you were a Christian nation, you’d be feeding the poor, not yelling at them for using food stamps.

Violence on our streets is unacceptable. And that includes violence by masked, unidentified immigration agents. I introduced the No Secret Police Act because we must not allow America to become a secret police state.

Pete Hegseth is the kind of liar who thinks confidence and a loud voice can substitute for truth. It doesn’t. PS- none of this should be making old man Trump drowsy.

One of my many Fall faves

I wasted a full two minutes feeling sorry for Megyn when Trump said she had blood coming out of her whatever… Two minutes I’ll never get back.

Pretty simple

MAGA is the most un-American political movement since the Confederacy.

Real men don’t punch down, and they especially don’t punch down at women. This mashup of Trump’s disgusting attacks on female reporters — the same reporters who consistently show the most courage. And it’s past time for the other reporters in the room to have their backs!

Probably the most important post you will read today. #HoldFast

“The only people who get angry when hearing service members being told to ignore illegal orders are people who intend to issue illegal orders.”

If you fall for a billionaire telling you to hate your neighbors, especially if you claim to be Christian, I don't know, man. That's pretty stupid.

We have a cabinet level Secretary of State, a diplomatic corps, Special Envoys, and Defense team to do this work. “Son-in-law” is not a government job. Kushner does not represent us.

two things about the U of OK, my alma mater: 1, a friend and writer colleague went to HS in Saudi and later taught at OU and said the intellectual climate in both felt similar - highly trained, highly ... moderated 2, it's been real a light in the darkness; this feels like one more light, going out
