a trad belief i have is that it’s better to spend time with your new baby than to be pulled away to defend the cheesecake factory’s aesthetic on behalf of an aspirationally authoritarian regime

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Karoline Leavitt: This is not about the Cheesecake Factory. This is about the Democrats not being able to appreciate beauty.

Birthright citizenship exists precisely so you don't have to convince guys like this that you're a "real American."

“In the conversation, Griffin asked the person to use that influence to deny admission to Rosman’s children, the person with direct knowledge of their conversation said.”

[Daniel D'Addario @DPD_]

The allegations around Amy Griffin's conduct — including, with the endless access available to her as a billionaire-by-marriage, attempting to take revenge against the *minor child* of a journalist who reported on her — are really sad and scary. https://t.co/imhBYwGHGN

“His favorite sport is tennis” is now an oppo hit

A head-turning new "Michigan First" ad from @AbdulElSayed - he names some issue he agrees with MAGA voters on, then plays a supercut of Fox News hosts/Tucker praising him or bashing Mike Rogers. https://t.co/RhE0YlBp68

[Gavin Aronsen @garonsen]

This is obviously anecdotal but it's always funny to see Lahn supporters act like the Kansas issue is some defamatory desperation play by the Sand campaign when it's clearly been very effective and constantly triggering to Lahn himself who isn't disciplined enough to hide it.

I actually think Netflix is suffering right now for the opposite reason.

The problem with a naturally servile man is that he will make himself a slave to just about anyone.

tough day for the “never go no-contact with family” crowd

Can you imagine believing schools have the budget to do this

@nickgillespie I like that she dressed as an elf though

[Jordan Grimes (on Bluesky @cafedujord) @cafedujord]

Absolutely hilarious exchange here.

Bass: "When we're talking about influence, there are very influential people who are supporting your campaign, who are very very much advocates for bike lanes."

Raman: "Um...yes?"

Your semi-regular reminder that there is no mainstream survey of American religion that indicates a religious revival among Gen Z.

In fact, they are 7 points more likely to be non-religious than Millennials.

And 19 points more likely to be nones than Gen X.
