Reading the Epstein files for months as a millennial is realizing that almost everything you thought you knew about America and some of its most important historical events may have been a fucking lie.
Wait a minute — Iran (who Trump said has no military) bombed the shit out of Kuwait last night in retaliation for us striking them in a war Marco Rubio just yesterday, told Congress was “over”?
Do they think we’re all fucking stupid?
When you know that Bari Weiss was built in a lab by David Horowitz alongside Stephen Miller, Charlie Kirk, and Ben Shapiro, things make a lot more sense.
Fact: no one cares how wealthy the rich are,
As long as they aren’t worrying about how much food costs and worrying if they’re going to end up homeless.
You want to know why so much of Europe has a social democracy?
Because it has a lot of REALLY OLD MONEY.
And they didn’t want to worry about peasants (or other rich people) killing them for it anymore.
It’s better to feed and clothes the masses and have them adore you,
Than to fight about it and have them overthrow you.
Anonyme : Je suis pompier et ce que j’ai vu hier dans les rues de Paris m’a brisé le cœur.
On est intervenus vers 22h, après l’appel pour un feu de poubelles qui dégénérait. On pensait à un simple incident de soirée. On est arrivés sur place et c’était l’enfer. Paris, ma ville, celle où j’ai grandi, où j’ai fait mes premières gardes, était devenue une zone de guerre. Des fumées noires partout, des cris, des explosions de mortiers. Des groupes de jeunes, souvent issus de l’immigration, cagoulés, organisés, qui chargeaient les forces de l’ordre comme sur un champ de bataille.
J’ai vu des collègues policiers se faire lyncher à coups de barre de fer. J’ai vu une voiture de police caillassée alors qu’on sortait juste pour éteindre un feu qui menaçait des familles. On a été pris à partie par des émeutiers qui nous hurlaient dessus, nous traitant de “chiens”. On essayait juste de sauver des vies, et on devenait des cibles.
J’ai ramassé un gamin de 14 ans, le visage en sang, qui pleurait en disant qu’il avait suivi “les grands” pour “s’amuser”. J’ai vu une mère de famille, volets fermés, qui nous suppliait de protéger ses enfants pendant que ça cassait tout en bas. Les vitrines défoncées, les commerces pillés, les voitures brûlées… tout ça sous prétexte de “fêter” quelque chose.
Fêter, ce n’est pas casser.
C’est ça, la France en 2026 ? Un pays où on ne peut plus sortir le soir sans risquer sa vie ? Un pays où des quartiers entiers sont livrés à des clans qui ne respectent ni nos lois, ni notre histoire, ni nos pompiers, ni nos policiers ? Où on regarde impuissant notre capitale, symbole de lumière et de culture, transformée en terrain de jeu pour des barbares qui crachent sur la main qui les nourrit ?
Cette nuit, en rentrant chez moi à 6h du matin, encore couvert de suie et de sueur, j’ai pleuré comme un gosse. Pas de fatigue. De rage et de tristesse. Pour mes enfants. Pour mes collègues blessés. Pour ce pays que j’aime et qui se laisse mourir.
Réveillez-vous. S’il vous plaît. Avant qu’il ne reste plus rien à sauver.
NEW: Sharyn Alfonsi goes scorched earth on Bari Weiss:
"Over the weekend, my contract with CBS News expired, drawing to a close nearly twenty years with the network, including more than a decade at 60 Minutes.
Following an intense editorial dispute over our CECOT story, repeated attempts by my representation to establish a path forward were met with absolute silence from network executives. The message could not be clearer: my time at 60 Minutes is apparently over.
In the coming days, network leadership may attempt to hide behind corporate euphemisms like "modernization" and “restructuring” to explain away my departure. Don't be misled. This was not a routine corporate transition; it was a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom.
Fearless, independent reporting has always been the defining standard at 60 Minutes. Today, CBS management is abandoning that mission, choosing access journalism over accountability and protecting power rather than scrutinizing it.
The wall between editorial independence and corporate interest at CBS is being methodically torn down. Journalists willing to challenge authority are being pushed aside in favor of those who will not. If this continues, the result will be a broadcast that looks like 60 Minutes but lacks the courage and character to produce journalism that matters.
To my colleagues, who became family - working beside you has been the privilege of a lifetime. You are second to none. I’ve learned exactly what it costs to hold the line right now. Hold it anyway. Viewers and the people who trust us with their stories deserve nothing less."

I want to thank Senator John Cornyn for his years representing our state.
We don’t agree on everything, but we both still believe in public service.
To Senator Cornyn’s supporters: you have a place in our campaign.
I need to repeat this. Everybody forgets how long new technology adoption really takes : example I just bought an electric car two years ago, despite Tesla
I had breakfast this morning with a friend who runs AI in one of the world's biggest companies.
He told me about their AI efforts, which are small and not that important yet.
At the end of breakfast said "big enterprise won't adopt AI in huge scale for two more years. At minimum. The nerds in San Francisco don't understand humans and how they adopt things."
It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2 https://t.co/6AGmFrB7x4
The new White House policy requiring green card applicants to apply from outside the US is a capricious attack on legal immigration. It will hurt families, leave us with fewer doctors, teachers and scientists, and hurt American competitiveness in AI.
@molsjames I'm 85. When I was young, doctors were in entrepreneurial practices. They worked from home offices, made house calls, took cash payment.Wives kept the books. "Economies of scale" destroyed practices and introduced middlemen. Never thought I'd advocate going backward.
