Before he was a senator, Jon Ossoff worked with Ghanaian journalist Ahmed Hussein-Suale Divela on a documentary about corruption and bribery in African soccer. In 2019, Divela was killed by two gunmen. No one has been convicted in connection to the killing. wapo.st/48f9pfy

Before Charlie Kirk's killing, Blake Neff was a top lieutenant and sidekick. Now, he's the full-time co-host of the podcast that still carries Kirk's name. Yet a year after Kirk’s death, Neff has found himself in a new and darkly ironic situation. He has become the target of a torrent of online conspiracies alleging that Kirk’s shooting was orchestrated by his allies at TPUSA. 🧵👇 🔗 politi.co/4cGpiyt

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

Is Nixon the Proto-Trump? Don’t Ask the 29-Year-Old Custodian of His Legacy

Is Nixon the Proto-Trump? Don’t Ask the 29-Year-Old Custodian of His Legacy

Jim Byron wants to discuss Nixon on his own terms. But after January 6, the debate over Nixon’s legacy is increasingly dominated by comparisons between Nixon’s misdeeds and Trump’s.

A thing that Curtis Yarvin once said to me about Vance: "The thing that JD can do that's amazing is he can go and he can talk to The New Yorker or he can sit down with the liberal media and basically be like, 'No, get these caricatures out of your head. This is not Hitler 2.0...
