Patel isn't fighting a magazine. He's auditioning for the job he's about to lose.
The Sunday shows don't save you when the West Wing has stopped calling.

The US Navy fired on and seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship today.
That's not blockade enforcement. That's a kinetic act on a sovereign vessel.
Anyone still calling this a "limited operation" isn't paying attention.

This 👇 is a worthwhile read —what's really happening here is much more than a drinking scandal.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Kash Patel has a drinking problem. This is far worse than not being able to hold his liquor. This is being a danger to himself and to others.

And he's the director of the FBI.

Let that sink in.

The director.
Of the FBI.
In need of an intervention.
Or a few days in a drunk tank.

Holy hell!

House Republicans just publicly backed Hegseth's perceived rival and publicly lamented the general he fired.
From his own party. During a war.
That's not a policy disagreement.
That's a vote of no confidence taken on the record.
Why Hegseth is done 👇

The moment a Secretary of Defense needs the White House to tell him who he's allowed to fire...he's not the Secretary of Defense anymore.
He's a figurehead with a nameplate.
The rest is just paperwork.

A MAGA insider just questioned the Butler mythology in public. She's still standing. That's not a tweet. That's an event. The only people pretending not to see it are the ones who built their careers on the mythology it just cracked.

Kash Patel just screwed over Trump's DOJ with 'terrible' decision: lawyer #RawStory

He’s a complete moron.

He still hasn’t “won” Iran.

Someone give Pawpaw his meds and put him back to sleep.

The mainstream coverage is missing what actually happened this weekend inside MAGA.
They're asking whether Greene believes Butler was staged.
The real question is why the enforcement mechanism failed to silence her. New piece 👇

Read the piece. Then read it again.
Then ask yourself one question.
When was the last time a Cabinet secretary survived this many leaks from inside his own administration?
I'll wait.

Good one. Liquor Cabinet.🤣🤣🤣

If you believe a war criminal on the run from the ICC and a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and financial fraudster (who is most likely also a pedophile) are waging a moral and just war in the Middle East right now, I have some bad news for you.

You’re an idiot.

Most Americans know what it would take to fix our broken country

- Abolish Citizens United
- Outlaw foreign influence
- End the electoral college
- Tax the oligarchs
- Reestablish rule of law
- Strict separation of church & state

It’s whether we have the courage to change our self-destructive ways

"We stand by our reporting on Kash Patel, and we will vigorously defend The Atlantic and our journalists against this meritless lawsuit." - The Atlantic

The Atlantic: Kash Patel is a paranoid drunk

Kash: Imma sue you for $250 million

The Atlantic: Let’s dance, Googly Eyes

Liberal men aren't attractive - Katie Miller, wife of nosferatu Stephen Miller

She’s literally married to a Nazi vampire.

If your commander-in-chief is being excluded from military operations (coz he’s a lunatic) and blocked from accessing the nuclear codes (coz he’s a lunatic), you’re overdue for a new commander-in-chief.

It’s not unaliving, it is killing or murder, speak like adults.

'I know everything': Brazilian model Amanda Ungaro, Paolo Zampolli, and how the Epstein Network Brought Them Both to Trump's White House Flown to New York on Epstein's jet at 17, partnered for two decades with the man who brought Melania to the US, deported before she could post bail after a single phone call to a federal official, Ama...

In 2002 a 17 year old from Londrina, Brazil boarded Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet in Paris and was trafficked to New York. Around 30 girls were on that flight. Ghislaine Maxwell prowled the cabin. Some girls sat on Epstein’s lap. The teenager was Amanda Ungaro.

Sentinel host, Peter Mina, joins American University Adjunct Professor and Scholar‑in‑Residence, Alex Joel, to unpack how democracies can fight real threats without becoming one themselves, the Privacy Act’s enduring role, and how data, protest, and transparency collide.

Trump keeps saying “we lose nothing” and Iran “loses $500 million a day.” In reality, Americans pay more for fuel while export profits flow to oil companies, and those “empty” tankers he brags about are heading to load U.S. crude for Europe and Asia—not to bring relief at home.

Sunday thought: A change in the air The noxious realities of Trump's authoritarianism are revealed for all to see

Robert Reich argues we are beginning to see a turnaround because “Trump and the forces he’s unleashed are so deeply repulsive to the consciences of most Americans...”

Trump’s Hormuz victory claim quickly collapsed as Iran reclosed the strait, oil shocks persisted, and U.S. escalation drew widening backlash.

It’s like blaming the smoke alarm for the fire, then putting the arsonist’s friends in charge of the investigation.

“The Trump administration believes it is a crime to speak out against the President, and (correctly) identify his criminal activity.”

Trump’s argument boils down to this: if Congress investigates me, that’s treason. That is not constitutional government. That is dictator logic.
