Nobody wants violence. It would be nice if conservatives could focus on the brewing constitutional crisis instead of pearl clutching over the leftist boogeyman of the week.
Also, Republicans have been threatening civil war since we dared to elect a Black man. 🤷♂️
Some reasons to be cautious abt the Vanity Fair story (there are more I won't yet share).
1) Cole's claims to knowledge of this is very attenuated.
2) The model Discoveries via Dutch reconstruction of GRU hacks matches how OTHER RU disinformation was spread.

NEW: GOP operative Scott Presler built his reputation registering Republicans and accusing Dems of voter fraud. But a review by The Bulwark found GOP operatives from other states voting from his home—and evidence raising questions about their residency.

#RapeublicanParty
The party that fights release of the Epstein files?
The party that supports an abjudicated rapist, accused child rapist, accused serial groper and Epstein pal as POTUS?
The party that supports this ass siding with the estranged mother and wife of Amy Acton's stepfather rapist?
NEW: Vivek Ramaswamy says Amy Acton being a victim of childhood sexual abuse makes her “flawed” while defending his ad featuring her estranged mother.
“In politics sometimes it's a tough sport.”
This is sad. General Dwight D. Eisenhower’s historic World War II globe was broken when Pete Hegseth’s team dropped it while trying to move it into his office.
If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision.
More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?
I can think of a few things I need to report.
1. Trump’s reflecting pool scam
2. Kashyap Pramod Vinod Patel’s use of government assets for personal matters
3. Kristi Noem’s DHS contracts to friends
Trump announces "fraud whistleblower incentive program" -- "Americans will now be able to go to fraud dot gov and report cases of corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities ... if you turn somebody in and you find $1 billion, we're giving a commission of 1%. That's a lot of money"
I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, nobody should support this kind of deception.
They created a fake pamphlet to spark trans outrage and sent it to every home in Texas.
Then their paid shills continued the outrage on social media.
Politics is broken.
Team Paxton appears to have sent out fake mailers to Texas voters impersonating a trans student group and claiming to want to help kids secretly transition.
The actual group said they had nothing to do with it, despite the mailers copying their aesthetic, and the address traces to a random UPS box.
I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him.
It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed.
They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire.
The walk of shame at the end. 🤣
The husband of a U.S. soldier killed in Trump's Iran war confronts JD Vance over alleged military leadership failures that led to the deaths of his wife and five other service members.
JOEY AMOR: “There's a failure in the leadership.”
VANCE: “This is literally the first time I've heard of this.”
This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine.
The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.
If elected president, Marine Le Pen intends to cut off financial aid to Ukraine within six months of her election. The Rassemblement National (RN) leader announced this in an interview with the Financial Times, ahead of next year’s French elections.
The Moron and Lunatic in the White House has now declared China and Russia aren’t helping Iran, and that if they were, “we would know about it very fast.”
We do know. His own Defense Secretary told senators they are.
Trump's covering for Putin and Xi as they help Iran kill American service members
Trump’s big lie this morning unraveled FAST.
Zelenskyy says the announcement was “NEWS TO ME.”
Now a senior RUSSIAN lawmaker says he knows NOTHING about the deal—and suggests Trump is making fake announcements to manipulate oil prices.
I just realized I forgot to post this:
Here’s part 2 of my AI and National Security series:
This part is focused on strategic risks, threats we aren’t yet measuring, and risk mitigation.

Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA): "At this point in time in 2022, a little over 200,000 Virginians had voted. At this point in time in 2026, approximately 450,000 Virginians have voted early."
Susan Collins is showing just how out of touch she is.
“I spent a whole year without health insurance…in ‘94”
That was 3 decades ago, Susan, when insurance was $1500 annually…
Thanks to Susan’s vote that helped pass Trump’s murderous budget bill, premiums are $1500 a month now for some folks.
BREAKING WaPo:
Trump wants to transform his West Palm Beach golf club into a presidential retreat modeled after Camp David.
The plan calls for a parcel of the private club to be designated a permanent, official sanctuary for foreign leaders and future U.S. presidents.
This is pretzel logic only Trump’s team could come up with.
We’ve got war with a lower approval rate than prostate cancer and recent credible stories about how we completely failed our injured warriors?
What if we re-ignited it BEFORE people vote?
Brilliant.

I’m loving the “well akshually he didn’t REALLY mean let Iran take out Los Angeles and San Diego” excuses today.
Cool. Explain the assholes in the crowd who thought it was fucking hilarious.
Deplorables wasn’t strong enough.
