Jeremy Scahill is honestly the biggest fraud in lefty media. Barely reported a single story at TI, would put on his cool leather jacket & demand we censor the comment section bc he didn't like mean feedback, jumps on every woke bandwagon like a child seeking validation.
Good reminder that people I worked alongside, including Jeremy Scahill and Naomi Klein, were very quick to jump on a bandwagon and support an unfounded vicious smear against me for absolutely no reason at all other than maintaining lefty herd mentality https://t.co/AJ9IMevYPd
@shipwreckedcrew GOP only has a few months left, the clock keeps on ticking. Self inflicted harm from tarrifs, destroying economic cooperation with allies, lower labor supply, and the Iran quagmire wont go away for a while either.
Judge Wise finds that ICE coerced a 20-year-old Tongan man — admitted legally to the country three years ago — to sign a document accepting deportation, despite no criminal record or immigration proceedings against him. https://t.co/va4l5WjxXk
The intellectual rehabilitation by post-liberals of an actual Nazi lawyer, whose appeal to Hitler lay precisely in the fact that he did not believe in the rule of law, should disqualify them from serious debate.
Think of it as the Schmitt-for-brains rule.
US defense giants Lockheed and Raytheon are reportedly resistant to licensing Patriot missile production to Ukraine because they fear that Ukrainian manufacturers will be able to “improve the Patriot and then produce them at scale faster and for much less money.” -The Atlantic
El-Sayed says we should have socialized medicine because you shouldn’t have some corporation deciding which doctor you can see.
Who decides under his system though? Especially when doctors are swamped because everything is “free”?
There’s no intellectual seriousness here.
Haverford Admits Its Antisemitism Problem
“Universities that typically hunt for discrimination under every stone couldn’t muster the will to defend Jewish students after the Hamas massacre of Oct. 7, 2023.”

Capital One says it shut down roughly 385 Trump-linked bank accounts after its financial-crimes team flagged them for money-laundering concerns.
That should be a massive story all by itself.
Trump responded by suing the bank and claiming political persecution. And Capital One is not the only bank his businesses are suing over closed accounts.
But now Trump controls the federal agencies that regulate those banks, and his Administration is going after the very banking practices at the center of his private company’s lawsuits.
Think about what is happening here:
Trump’s business runs into serious problems with major banks. Trump becomes President. Suddenly, the federal government starts working to change the rules in ways that could benefit Trump’s business.
The presidency is supposed to serve the American people, not function as the enforcement arm of the Trump Organization.

The same right-populists banging on now about their libertarian right to cheap burritos were sneering a year ago at anyone who suggested that we shouldn't raise the cost of living on working-class people. "Oh, you just want cheap plastic toys, suck it up." Same people.
The blundering behaviour of a lot of UK police forces when it comes to free speech issues is incredibly annoying, but ultimately it's downstream of a lot of contradictory rights and controls on speech. Without something like a Brandenburg Test in UK law it will just never stop.
When Trump threatens Greenland, I think, “America is not meant to be a predator nation.” When he says, “To the victor belong the spoils,” I think, “We are not meant to be a thieving, plundering nation.” I hope that America recovers a right sense of itself.
