Pete Hegseth thinks George Washington was a woke fat commie femme in the pocket of Big Pharma

Find something in your life you love as much as The Free Press loves war and Netanyahu

If I'm recalling correctly, this facially absurd figure comes from a study that tested like a dozen malnourished and traumatized refugee children, then extrapolated the result to the entire country. It gets repeated purely because it panders to racist preconceptions.

Confronting ugly allegations, FBI Director Kash Patel files new $250 million lawsuit The Atlantic reported that FBI personnel have expressed concerns about the director’s unexplained absences and excessive drinking. He sued a few days later.

Talked about Kash's crashout on @11thhourmsnow.bsky.social.

Opinion | Jamie Raskin’s push for 25th Amendment to end Trump presidency is a mistake Andy Craig: The 25th Amendment is no substitute for impeachment. A proposed panel of doctors and ex-politicians can’t replace Congress doing its job.

“This proposal is misguided on the details, and more importantly, a distraction from what Congress can and should do: impeach Donald Trump and remove him from office.”

I put out eight fires, and I only started a few of them. That means I put out 100 fires.

Opinion | Joe Rogan’s down on Trump — but he’s forever anti-vax MAHA Anthony L. Fisher: The influential podcaster continues to spread RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine gospel — and a new poll shows more Americans are growing comfortable with having measles back.

Fascinating paragraph from Scott Alexander, where he admits he’s the dog that caught the car

I Was Falsely Accused of "Censorship" in The Free Press. Then Their Editors Censored The Truth. The Free Press was given evidence disproving a story they'd heavily promoted. Here's what happened next.

They won’t.
