Trump just posted this photo of the sharpest minds in our intelligence community hard at work during the Venezuelan operation.

Holding a trial of a socialist dictator in the city that just elected a democratic socialist mayor is probably not an accident. Doesn’t seem like they care a whole lot about the “democratically elected” part, but if Iraq taught us anything, suggesting as much means you’re an unpatriotic hysteric.

I distinctly remember in the first Trump years when people would be like “no, you can’t call them fascist”

Here is the editor of Tablet agreeably reposting someone calling nonwhite NYC immigrants "worthless biotrash." It's astonishing how quickly this stuff has escaped containment

Laura Loomer’s brand has consistently been anti-Muslim bigotry and fearmongering, but I think there’s something deeper to the president’s allies hating Mamdani. Democratic socialism is the only real viable counter to Trump. They’re afraid.

Unsurprising Andy Ngo has taken an interest in them.

Newly unsealed docs show DOJ moved to prosecute Kilmar Abrego Garcia for smuggling only after it became clear Trump might not be able to deport him. Sure looks driven by a desire to punish him for fighting back against Trump/Miller lawlessness. Trump had to be right. www.cbsnews.com/news/abrego-...

The Kennedy Center Honors ratings fell sharply this year, the latest setback for the institution since President Trump’s takeover has led to a controversial renaming of the venue, waves of performance cancellations and plummeting ticket sales.

At the 2022 NY Young Republicans gala, Marjorie Taylor Greene said about the attempted coup and January 6th attack on the Capitol: “…If Steve Bannon and I organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ARMED.” [Emphasis added.] www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

Yesterday, the man who put a bounty on Boise's mayor showed up at a Boise immigrant's daycare to record himself for Twitter. He found nothing, her papers were in order and the daycare has no record of impropriety, according to post, which got a lot of attention. He plans to target others, he says.

I am not a sentient Joy Division album, damn you, @michaelehayden.bsky.social.

Journalists are never "obligated to sue" their critics, even if a case would have merit, which this one doesn't.

Decades of the white nationalist movement evolving to adapt to current political trends has brought them to this moment.

Sounds like Eoin has a pretty good libel case

lol “I’m obligated to sue him”

You would believe from reading this Matt Taibbi tweet that @eoinhiggins.bsky.social’s book is about him or that it names him on the cover. No. The book spends more time on Glenn Greenwald. The cover suggests a general phenomenon in our culture — that everyone online has seen.

“Brigitte Bardot is an inspiration for everything ive ever done in my life” [finding out Brigitte Bardot asked to be buried in a Nazi uniform] “I disown Brigitte Bardot and the part of me that ever liked her”

Out now: @michaelehayden.bsky.social and I look back on 2025 and the best (worst) hot takes we saw cross our timelines this year. Plus, voicemails from our prior guests and a handful of pals. Thanks for joining us on a killer year for the show podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

how about one of you wealthy liberal groups on here counter these bullshit ICE ads that air during NFL games with accurate information? it’s not that hard to figure out messaging but let’s talk more about why i should vote for dems.

New Rule: if @michaelehayden.bsky.social and @jaredlholt.bsky.social are gonna do a Who the Hell on me, you have to go to a game with @robertsilverman.bsky.social and me. Fan AI Slop will get out of control.

Over on the Everything App, users are encouraging Grok to make AI generated images of Trump cutting Elon Musk’s throat on the late Jeffrey Epstein’s island.

My 2025 in review is about "spiritual warfare." For the last decade MAGA has told us they are fighting "demons" in a "spiritual battle." This year we learned what they meant. Why the left needs to find radical religion: substack.com/home/post/p-...

I'm pretty excited about this book covering a white nationalist group in our very own Berkeley Springs West Virginia who own an (allegedly) ill gotten and misappropriated castle But if you want to know more you should probably pre-order this book! I know I will! And what's this a coupon code?!?!?!

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these podcasters from the swift completion of their appointed rounds (listening to Kash Patel flexing nuts about his Uber Eats orders on Christmas 🎄)

We couldn’t figure out exactly what we thought our premium episode listeners might want for Christmas, so @michaelehayden.bsky.social and I are opting to give them some cold hard Kash (Patel). That, and a review of TPUSA’s “AmericaFest” conference in Phoenix, AZ. www.patreon.com/posts/146472...

The only thing more insane than Matt Taibbi suing Eoin Higgins is Matt suing him for comparing him to Bari Weiss

Immigrations and Customs Enforcement is using AI to turn Santa into an ICE officer. Gross? Sure, but it just makes it clear that 2025 was definitely the year of “slop” for the right — and everyone else. Last newsletter of the year: postsfromunderground.ghost.io/slop-nation-...

Just want to point out that this man was leading the whole Turning Point USA crowd in prayer last week. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

Toward the end of this episode they reference Bill Maher’s interview with Billy Joel where he talks about trying to write a song that sounded so crazy I had to look it up and the clip is more nuts than I imagined.

What an episode!!!

The lack of self awareness is so staggering it's actually hilarious. "Candace Owens spewing conspiracies will ruin MAGA! Why would she do that? Well, here's a conspiracy that explains why she's so popular"

The full Weiss memo is dogshit -who cares if administration figures “regret” sending people to CECOT -who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison —who cares about the “debate” over the legality of sending people to a torture prison

Our latest installment in our listener-favorite “Who the Hell?” series is out. @oldmanweldon.bsky.social helped us retrace the life and career of Bill Maher, one of corporate media’s favorite “centrist” types. People really hate this guy. We tried to explain why. www.patreon.com/posts/145713...
