So I have the cover story in next month's TNR. I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol. They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

Are there businesses in New Jersey other than personal injury law firms?

“I’m 84 years old. Threats against my life expectancy are kind of hollow. I don’t have much time anyway. I’m more concerned that our democracy is at risk because of the trends against the rule of law.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Israel is building a new settlement in Beit Sahour, where according to tradition angels brought news of Christ's birth to shepherds. The settlement is called Yatsif ('Stable') in Hebrew. Bulldozers are already at work. www.middleeasteye.net/news/christm...

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...

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

These declines are MASSIVE. And the comparative silence in media coverage is absolutely DAMNING. “Why are ppl always so afraid of crime?” THIS is why. When crime goes up, media trips over itself to report it. Falls to pre-war (!!) levels? Just CRICKETS.

The people who profited most from the cancel culture/free speech panic were less interested in actual freedom of speech than establishing their own control over public discourse. You don't even have to take my word for it. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Btw this is one of the biggest reasons why it’s not as easy as people think to start up independent newsrooms or just be an indie journalist on substack. If you are actually holding powerful and rich people to account, you WILL need legal representation. Not a matter of whether but when

Here’s one thing to point out whenever the trump wh and gop do this: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

literally fuck anyone who doesn’t see at this point that it’s an organized nationwide effort to make trans people unemployable. every trans person they push out of public life is a win for them & a whole hell of a lot of cis people need to start stepping up and saying fuck off to freaks like this.

Epstein record EFTA00020517 features an FBI intake report dated 10/27/2020. An unidentified individual had reported that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein had raped an unidentified woman when she was a child. #OpDeathEaters

jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation

The US State Department is now going to be deporting people and/or revoking visas over Benz, Taibbi, and Shellenberger’s “censorship industrial complex” hoax. Let that sink in. This is what the Twitter Files pretext was actually about. Water boys for authoritarians. www.state.gov/releases/off...

The point I wish got emphasized more is that the big winners from congestion pricing are *people who urgently need to drive*. Because they are ones that travel times really matter for. I always thought that instead of congestion pricing it should be called "free streets" - free from other cars.

gop lite is consistently the dumbest thing the democratic party does. consistently. on foreign policy, on spending, on immigration. its never the right way. but the party is addicted to it.

It’s become impossible to ignore that Trump is hiding evidence he committed crimes with Epstein. A journalist needs to ask Trump directly if he’s ever had sex with someone he met through Epstein, and if he’s ever slept with someone who might be under-age.

“He raped me.” “Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” “She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.” Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.

It's going well for the people who hired her, right? They'd much rather have this than that story air as planned. The hit to the reputation of "news" only helps them.

Don't let a carpet bagger take Nadler's seat. Alex Bores has been a diligent assemblymember for our district.

Reminder: it is not correct to refer to Conway as a "Never Trumper." He was, in fact, a Trumper before he became a not-Trumper. He was literally a top pick to run Trump's DOJ in the first term. He was absolutely a Trumper.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Thanks GlobalTV Canada! 🇨🇦

"It’s remarkable that Vance seems incapable of taking a swing at Fuentes, who regularly calls him a “race traitor” and refers to his wife with ethnic slurs, without adding a spoonful of sugar for his MAGA-addled listeners in the form of a bonus crack at Jen Psaki." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

The U.S. military just announced another strike on a boat it claims was smuggling drugs near Venezuela, again without evidence. One more person dead. Over 100 killed so far. Trump also threatened the president of Colombia.

I won’t be taking any criticism from these folks about what’s normal and what isn’t, thanks though

Something dropping today? politicalwire.com/2025/12/23/t...

I mean…come on!

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

In 2022, Bari Weiss ran this viral first-person piece by a top Levi’s executive. She claimed she was hounded out of the company because of her vocal stance on COVID restrictions. There are no quotes from the company. Or her colleagues. Not even a “no comment.” www.thefp.com/p/yesterday-...

Weird how The Free Press was able to publish all of these without comment from the Washigton University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.

Radical bearded cleric issues new fatwa -->

Society is failing these children.

why do so many reporters and editors use "conspiracies" when they mean conspiracy theories?

to be fair to Bari, the CECOT exposé was unlikely to break news the way she has on her own website

The legacy media narrative has been unified in claiming that Jeffrey Epstein abused minors. But how can anyone report that without interviewing Jeffrey Epstein? I asked Alan Dershowitz. —Bari Weiss, today in the New York Times

Trans youth healthcare is based in decades of research and supported by every major medical organization in the US. Under RFK Jr, a handpicked panel produced a dodgy report claiming otherwise. It's a clear example of Kennedy's war on science. So why aren't news organizations treating it that way?

Unreal Engine is weird.
