They crashed and no one saw them. Why deadly wrecks have gone unnoticed in Connecticut

the answer is that jennings performance of smug dishonesty reliably generates viral clips, so they continue to have him on even though he is a shameless liar

very fun to think that there are at least four votes for "the president can unilaterally rewrite a constitutional amendment"

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

It’s easy to forget since he’s still a high public official but Homan straight up took $50,000 in cash from undercover agents on camera and then nothing happened

It is literally impossible to dox federal workers for the same reason it's not doxxing when McDonalds management asks workers to wear name tags Every single person in the United States government works for us. We are management and we need to know who our employees are

JD Vance Places Candle Outside Hooters Where ICE Agents Were Heckled

it reveals pretty plainly that "merit-based hiring" means "you belong to the correct class and hold the right set of identities"

The problem with Weiss, from my perspective, has always been that she’s a career opinion journalist — she’s never *really* done hard news reporting, nor is it clear she understands or values it.

This is one of my favorite charts because the obvious implication is ... obvious, but you absolutely are not allowed to say it out loud in US public discourse.

Alex Pretti’s Friends and Family Denounce ‘Sickening Lies’ About His Life

If you only read the opinion journalism in elite media over the last decade, you would have been convinced that wokeness, and not fascism, were the greatest threats to American society. Now some of those authors are retconning by trying to relabel fascism as "the woke right."

This is from the NYT masthead editorial about the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The highlighted line invalidates not just the editorial, but the very idea of newspaper editorials crafted by the consensus of a board. Better to publish nothing at all than to publish a line like this.

Five of the same answer to the question “Is it ever possible to have enough money”

What a relief that they’re calling for a general de-escalation of tensions, since it’s hard to tell who’s at fault, the people murdering people or the people who aren’t doing the murdering.

Hello I’m the ubermensch, my one weakness is whistles

And, tonight, the network's flagship news program -- 60 Minutes -- ran a clip show of old celeb interviews to "celebrate the movies" rather than put together an episode focused on what's going on in Minnesota.

I took these at the Unite the Right rally, in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Aug. 12, 2017 — where, I’m told, there were “very fine people, on both sides.” No one in these photos is law enforcement.

an absolutely insane thing to get paid to say in an article where youre admitting you were wrong

We're getting a wave of articles that are like, "gee willikers it sure seems like the people who complained about 'cancel culture' for years really like canceling people." Yes! This was extremely obvious at the time and a lot of us pointed it out!

hey folks, six figure opinion columnist here and gotta say, made a big ol’ whoopsie on the most consequential and honestly, probably the most obvious opinion of my life. thats my bad. anyway, guess I’ll just keep getting paid to give my opinion, thanks for reading

"When the facts change, I change my mind," he writes, and then appends a flood of links to Trump's public words and actions, the vast majority pointing to stories from before 2025

Yanited!!!

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all: The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration. Congress can: - Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage) - Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes - Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same - Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction It can be done.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

"reminiscent of World War II military apparel"

The family of Alex Pretti, a Minneapolis man shot and killed by federal immigration agents Saturday morning, released a statement to several media outlets. It begins: "We are heartbroken but also very angry."

“Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you." — Michael and Susan Pretti, whose son Alex died amid a barrage of gunfire from federal agents, and whose reputation is being smeared by top federal officials.

Seven Democrats voted to confirm her!

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

this guy is a terrible liar who genuinely believes he is great at lying

This was murder. Pretti did not initiate the confrontation. He didn’t strike them. He didn’t brandish his gun. They tackled him, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him.

an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars

I will canvass for whichever candidate runs on putting this man in prison in 2028.
