If you describe what is occurring in the US as a “coup” or “fascism,” or refer to the elected government as a “regime” (left or right), I have deep contempt for you. Your cosplaying as oppressed makes light of the suffering of those who have lived under actual authoritarianism.

The fact that Shapiro can't clearly say who targeted him—only that he was targeted—tells me that the Democratic Party is in a far, far worse place than I thought.
No one party is immune from political violence. My family and I can attest to that. Using the rhetoric of rage and calling some of our fellow Americans “scum” — no matter how profound our differences — only creates more division and makes it harder to heal. We are at an inflection point in America. Violence transcends party lines — and the way to address it and have true peaceful debate is for leaders to speak and act with moral clarity. That needs to start with the President.

I don’t know anyone who has looked for a job in the last 2-3 years who thinks the market is functioning properly or that job-search sites are a positive development. Many tell me about slews of auto-rejections for no discernible reason.
The length of the job search is increasing. -For men between the ages of 45 and 64, the average time being unemployed is at least 33 weeks, or more than eight months. -The average length of unemployment for a 20- to 24-year-old with a bachelor’s degree is 20 weeks. -Overall nearly 25% of people have been looking in vain for a job for six months. Found it interesting that: Even with the new technology, 60% of firms saw hiring times increase in 2024 -only 6% saw it decrease. 👇👇👇 Many organizations have set their sights either on candidates with the exact skill sets and experiences they believe a role requires, or so-called unicorns, who can fit multiple roles well. Houston we have a problem.

PS: I occasionally reflect on the reaction these folks would get if they spewed this nonsense to someone actually living under authoritarianism or fighting it (like a Ukrainian). No joke, I think the chance of violence would be non-negligible.

Alex Thompson’s beat, apparently, is “things everyone on the right has been saying for years—which we’ve called them conspiracy theorists for—but which The Good People can now admit.”
WaPo: Some rank-and-file DC officers and detectives have complained for months — in some cases, years — that managers were recording serious crimes as more minor ones to make their police districts appear safer or avoid the ire of top department brass. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…

Final thought: there is also something hilariously on point about the WHCA giving photo of the year to a guy trying to portray Biden as having gravitas, at an event where they were giving another guy an award for not being part of the effort to hide Biden’s senility.

We now have James, Schiff, and Cook all being accused of mortgage fraud, all with similar (alleged) patterns of conduct. Which makes you wonder how many more people in the government have engaged in similar conduct but are/have gotten away with it by not raising their profile.

I suspect that there is a large overlap between the “eating at home for a month barely saves you money” crowd and the “young people today can’t afford the lifestyle of their parents, such as homes” crowd.

The draw for a lot of the traditional schools is that you get plugged into great alumni networks. But as more top people go to flagship state universities, those networks are growing more—and they are especially powerful for people who want to stay in the relevant states. 3/

One of my problems with Ken White—besides his being deranged—is that he is encouraging dumb people to throw their lives away by engaging in conduct he would never engage in. I have the utmost contempt for armchair radicals, regardless of their political affiliation.
Somebody check in on Ken and see how he thinks this is working out

The left is absolutely going to turn the 250th celebration into a giant GOP campaign ad.
Happy Indigenous People’s Day! We are all on stolen land. And while Republicans try to whitewash American history, we acknowledge our country’s role in inflicting trauma on our Indigenous neighbors. We'll keep celebrating their contributions, centering Native voices in our policymaking, & building a more just, equitable future.

No no no. I was told they were innocent fisherman. As evidenced by their high-speed motor boats. Incidentally, this is why lying to make your argument easier usually backfires. Once you do, people don’t give you a second shot to make the more convincing, but subtle argument.

Surely I’m not the only one who feels trapped between two sides that are totally out of control, albeit due to different underlying pathologies.

Remember The Simpson episode where a video of Homer chasing Bart while swinging a mace, yelling "I'll mace you good!" is shown to an audience that gasps, and Homer stands up and yells, "That's taken completely out of context!"? That is basically what Kimmel had planned here.

Based on what we are seeing, it seems likely that Dems will be baited into adopting the worst excesses of the 1619-style narrative next summer, while the US is celebrating its 250th, in reaction to whatever Trump does. And that they will do so despite an upcoming election.

“True but unhelpful to a Democrat” should be a Politifact rating.
We've got days and days of explanations and justifications and analyses, across the media and from within the paper itself, because the New York Times wrote something that was unhelpful to a Democrat.

We are now setting a standard where any time a federal employee doesn’t like an employment decision, they can run to a court to get a TRO. I’m begging the left to stop with their too-smart-by-half, the-right-will-never-follow-suit approach to institutional arson.

It is remarkable how mad people on the left get when Republicans are married to someone of a different race—which they then project as “Republicans will really dislike this!”
This is JD Vance’s biggest political problem in 2028. How on earth is he going to get the MAGA base to accept her?

Now, maybe Shapiro is wrong about it, but it tells me that he thinks that a certain, not-insignificant portion of his party has no appetite to be told harsh realities. And the truth is that harsh reality checks are needed.

Charlie Sykes is now saying that fancy ballrooms are fascism. My only thought—besides that he is a silly, frivolous man—is that traditional Republicans, like me, really need to conduct a postmortem on the sort of people we allowed to be thought leaders for so long.
