EXCLUSIVE: Kash Patel’s colleagues are alarmed by what they say is erratic behavior and excessive drinking, Sarah Fitzpatrick reports. More than two dozen people she spoke with described his management failures and conduct that could harm national security. https://t.co/wrhVrqgLGh

A series of disjointed, hard-to-follow and sometimes-profane comments capped by threatening to wipe out Iran and attacking the pope have left many with the impression of a deranged autocrat mad with power and revived the debate about Trump's mental health. https://t.co/AZSqGjRwOs

Worth reading this Trump outrage. He would not be hired as CEO of a 25 person business. An unstable and dangerous man.

The purpose of this is to ensure armed agents of the state can continue to wear masks as they terrorize American cities

This hits different when you consider that Missouri's junior senator attended the same conference in Munich he's decrying way back...well, a year ago this weekend

I have received the greatly troubling news regarding an increase in tensions between Cuba and the United States of America, two neighboring countries. I echo the message of the Cuban bishops, inviting all responsible parties to promote a sincere and effective dialogue, in order to avoid violence and every action that could increase the suffering of the dear Cuban people.

Lynwood, CA — Footage shows an ICE agent pistol whipping a 16-year-old boy in the face with a handgun as the teen appears to be raising his hands and unarmed. Other officers violently force him to the ground, kneeling on his back into a curb, in the presence of an attack dog, as local residents shout at the agents to stop hurting him.

"The Saturday shooting of Alex Pretti, as he lay on the ground surrounded by ICE agents, is the worst incident to date in what is becoming a moral and political debacle for the Trump Presidency."

Here's a slow motion video clip of the ICE agent pull his gun shoot the man while he's on his knees. Federal authorities have reportedly refused to allow local police to investigate.

@mickshaffer I like the kid, but just once I wish he would listen to the question he was asked—one in particular from Holly Row that was excellent excellent as per usual—and answer it. There was info left on the field postgame that would have been interesting to hear.

@SorenPetro @vrbo So, I throw this out because my trainer is a customer service rep for a FL property mgmt co that reps VRBO—they recently switched their software res platform over to a new system, and there have been issues with the transfer. That could be the problem. FYI

“Many Christians were challenged for the first time to be Christians,” Lee wrote, adding, “What was heart-breaking was to discover that people you loved — friends, relatives, neighbors — whom you assumed were civilized, harbored the most vicious feelings.”

@RandPaul @RepKeriIngle Talk to those of us in the fiber arts community. Significantly price increases, shipping delays and costs, all getting past along to consumers because small business owners can’t absorb those costs. And we tried.

The problem, Rod, is that America has faced far worse problems in the recent past than even your list, and yet conservatism did not turn postliberal or Groyper to address them. In the 1970s America was in a far worse place economically, militarily, and socially. Stagflation was destroying the American dream, we had just emerged from waves of political violence that dwarf anything we're experiencing now, Roe had just been decided and abortion was skyrocketing far above present abortion rates.

We had just lost the Vietnam War, a war that cost us far, far more than the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We'd gone through waves of political assassinations worse than anything we're experiencing today. Vietnam and Watergate together were a massive blow to American confidence and faith in American institutions.

But in 1980 the right (which had been partially responsible for this sad state of affairs through Nixon) chose a very different path than it's choosing now. The new right of 1980 did not answer this much greater challenge with postliberals and Nazi dweebs.

We did not devolve into a coalition of smirking, vice-signaling shitposters (or whatever the equivalent would have been in 1980). That's the world the postliberals helped build. Not alone, of course. But they helped lay the bricks in the edifice of stupidity, corruption, and malice that is the modern right.

Instead, the Reagan Right of 1980 doubled down on the founding principles, doubled down on faith in the American experiment, and led with both character and confidence. In 12 short years, America and the world were transformed for the better.

The new right of 2025, by contrast, is miring America in division, corruption, and incompetence. It's opened the door to fascism. It's blazing the trail for antisemites. It scorns character. It's sexually libertine and abusive. By their fruit you shall know them, and you and I both know, Rod, that the fruit of the new right is rotten indeed.
