The real failure to look in the mirror is academics falling back on comfortable “we’re partly responsible because we enforced left wing orthodoxy“ thinking rather than the less comfortable truth that Trump/MAGA are bad faith actors who will only be satisfied with resegregated MAGA academies

Fox: FBI Director Kash Patel is suing The Atlantic for defamation over their article on his episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.

CFR: USA Rare Earths—partially owned bUS Commerce Department—announced plans yesterday to buy Brazilian rare earth mining and processing company in a deal valued at $2.8B. The Brazilian firm, Serra Verde, is expected to account for nearly half of all heavy rare earths outside of China by 2027.

Old enough to remember when Glenn Beck tried this same pivot to revive his image during a dip in GOP popularity, before quickly reverting to form

Q: A number of very large companies, incl Apple and Amazon, have not sought reimbursements yet for the tariffs. From what I understand, part of the reason is they're worried about offending you.

Maybe America would have won the Vietnam War if Donald Trump hadn’t dodged it by lying about having bone spurs.

Guess we’ll never know.

MAGA Rep. Threatened to Call Pam Bondi to Block His Own Arrest Washington police attempted to arrest Representative Cory Mills for alleged assault.

White House Is in Full Panic Mode as Trump Doubles Down on Iran War

Chief of Staff Susie Wiles reportedly called a crisis meeting with Republican strategists to discuss the midterms.
