There are no words for how evil this is

Despite liberal hysteria, Charlie Kirk’s message was one of faith, family, and respectful debate. Here’s why so many of his followers have replaced him one-for-one with Nick Fuentes.

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

A sandwich, Shroff said, cannot be a weapon hurled with force anywhere near enough to justify federal charges, and a bulletproof vest, she said, “is definitely going to keep you safe from a sandwich thrown at you.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

it does seem like there’s a major—though potentially fleeting—opportunity to invest in left-wing media. more than a million people in the most populous city in america just enthusiastically elected a democratic socialist and the world is watching. putting $$ towards left media rn is good business.

If a Democrat said this Jake Tapper would get a face tattoo on live television about how out of touch Democrats are.

40 billion to Argentina. 40 billion.

I don't even know what we're doing anymore.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

Theory: the President mistakes his ability to convince people that something is happening when it isn't (ie, "migrant crime wave") for an ability to convince them that something that is happening, isn't.

Pretty sure 42 million starving Americans counts as a catastrophe

If Musk meets all the benchmarks of his new $1 trillion pay package from Tesla he will be paid $274 MILLION EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS This is his part-time job

BREAKING: A federal judge finds the Trump admin "did not comply" with his order to fund SNAP benefits. Judge John McConnell has verbally ordered the admin to *fully fund* SNAP benefits for the month of November — by tomorrow.

NEW: Voters have a highly favorable view of SNAP, including 71% of Independents and 69% of Republicans. Voters trust the Democratic Party (51%) more than the Republican Party (43%) to handle SNAP. www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2025/11...

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Let it unleash a thousand memes. I call this one: "Donald Trump stands idly by while the American economy passes out in a corner."

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Pretty sure "Trump made me want to have a bunch of babies" is how the Idiocracy reboot will start.

If I ever pass out and Dr Oz tries to catch me please just let me hit the ground.

To the extent there's a legal argument for Trump's tariffs, it goes like this: A law gives the president some additional powers in the event of an emergency. He says there's an emergency, and it's not up to courts to determine if that's right, it's up to him. Johnson isn't even bothering with that.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "Pretty much everyone across the board agrees -- release the Epstein files."

The Supreme Court has to understand that the president is breaking the law in ways I like. Or at least in ways that I'm unwilling to challenge even though they're objectively not achieving their supposedly national interest goals and also breaking the law. So the Court must defer to that.

"... and I've held that belief for almost 13 minutes, now."

In terms of marshaling votes, Pelosi was the most effective speaker in my lifetime.

Ah, yes. Exactly the way they talked about food prices when Joe Biden was president. A marvel of honesty and consistency.

There you are, Margie.

the question nobody with a soul is asking, answered by people nobody wants to hear from

OH, DO YA THINK

I'm not linking to that NYT piece today, but of all the horrible parts of it, this was the worst. This was an explanation of "female vices" in the workplace and LET ME JUST TELL YOU...

“.. in a group Signal chat, .. he wrote in part: ‘I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.’” @reuters.com #Chicago www.reuters.com/world/us/bor...

Trump officials keep acting like conditions worsening and Americans suffering on their watch reflects badly on the opposition, and the public will get mad at people without power, because those are the people who care about Americans and want things to run well. I don’t think that’s how it works.

Change in Headline

Ross Douthat right now:

Running against a bad, unpopular president doing bad, unpopular things works. Thinking a bad, unpopular president is not worth talking about—one narrow election is forever, he’s magic, no one cares—is ridiculous. Shouldn’t need saying, but here we are, so it’s good @gregsargent.bsky.social does.

buying into AI

It's so funny that the White House has decided, since Tuesday evening, that its big focus will be costs — after eight months of splattering gold paint all over the White House and after a big Roaring '20s party at the private club the president bought from a Post cereals heiress.

The Trump regime is East Winging the Goddard Space Flight Center, home to the 10,000 scientists and engineers in NASA science and engineering directorates.

Hey @nytimes.com, if someone has an idea that's fucking stupid you don't HAVE to publish their column.

ffs, @nytimes.com

I just want to know who is going to write the book on this ponzi scheme when it is over.

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

The media is rushing 300 “New York Jews worried about Mamdani antisemitism” fetch essays based on nothing but Mamdani being a Muslim meanwhile the Republican Party from top to toe has the confidence to wear nazi makeup every day knowing the press looks at it like the westworld bots seeing a polaroid

It's fucking WILD to me whenever some Rise and Grind Republican gets up one morning after a decade under Trump and is like "TODAY is the day basic human decency requires that I put my foot down!"

Text from a friend:

Wokeness was load-bearing for the economy.

I talk to the press professionally, I'm really, really, really good at it. So please, please believe me when say you cannot turn this interview request into anything good, it will do only harm. Harm to you, harm to your child, harm to other children.

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.
