Over the years, @PeteButtigieg has had many viral media moments, but I think this might be his best.
It's the most authentically angry and impassioned that I have seen him, and that's what voters who are banging their heads against a wall about the state of affairs want to see.
NEW: Data shows out of the top 100 most-viewed X accounts posting about politics in February 2026, 74 were conservative-leaning and 26 were liberal-leaning. 📉

Spoke on background with two attorneys who have defended officer involved shootings.
Both have always taken their cases to trial.
After reviewing the events today, both said if it were their client they’d advise:
-Seek a plea deal
-Be willing to plead guilty to a lesser crime or a lower sentence
-Accept anything that isn’t de jure LWOP (life with out parole)
In other words, the guys who defend police officers shooting for a living, think this case is unwinnable.
They would try to defend his actions, they’d just try and lower the impact of the outcome.
Their main sticking point were:
-“I could argue shot number one and hope for an acquittal or a hung jury - but I can’t get there on shots 2 and 3”
-“A jury will not get passed the turning of the wheels”
-“Denying medics throws self defense out the window”
I wonder why the grand jury in DC failed to indict the subway sandwich thrower… I mean this has to be the biggest crime ever committed in DC!
LMAO, DC residents clearly aren’t ok with being the pawns that everyone else around Trump have decided to be!
DC STATEHOOD NOW!
🚨 New ep!
I sat down w/ @RCDiMezzo to break down how he helped build the digital juggernaut that is Courier Newsroom.
We talk:
⚡️What’s working in digital right now
📈Their fastest-growing channel (spoiler: not what you expect!)
🧠How small teams can punch above their weight
In just two years, we have built a national news brand from the ground up. Starting with fewer than 50,000 followers across platforms, we’re now on the verge of surpassing 4 million.
But what’s just as powerful as growing a massive audience is building one that truly engages with your content — proving they’re more than just passive consumers.
This week, @CourierNewsroom surpassed @CNN on TikTok in total likes, despite having less than a third of their follower count. This is what it looks like to build a new, progressive, and sustainable media ecosystem.
Here we are in 2025 and planes are falling from the sky, senseless trade wars are driving up prices, and so-called “social” media and AI are making everyone more isolated and lonelier than ever.
It’s time to ask: How is this better?

Sen. Lisa Murkowski said at a presser in AK yesterday that Elon Musk may "take the next billion dollars that he makes off of Starlink and put it directly against" her.
Adds that GOP colleagues are silent because they're "afraid they're going to be taken down" or "primaried."
