Genuinely hope Democrats go after the MAGA influencer network after midterms because people as stupid as Nick Sortor and “DataRepublican” should not have direct lines to the White House
Hey @SecretService, you guys should IMMEDIATELY track down this man who was just on Fox INSIDE Trump's rally wearing a "DEATH" shirt, comparing the rally to the "JONESTOWN MASSACRE" This dude is CLEARLY unstable. Trump is set to speak in SC at 12:30pm ET
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Death logo is that of the metal band "Death" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_(me…

Statement from the Republican Party of Virginia: “Around 1:45 p.m. today, a woman was shot immediately in front of The Obenshain Center, the offices of the Republican Party of Virginia. City of Richmond first responders were at the scene within minutes. All Republican Party of Virginia staff are safe. The proximity of this event notwithstanding, we have no indication that the shooting was related to the operations of the Republican Party of Virginia.”
There was a shooting outside of the Republican Party of Virginia HQ in Richmond. No staff was injured, a person was shot outside the building and brought inside, but RPV Chair Jeff Ryer says to the best of his knowledge the shooting had nothing to do with RPV.

The Southern Poverty Law Center says an aggrieved ex-informant gained way too much power over the FBI investigation into the SPLC, and was making presentations to prosecutors bearing the FBI logo, as though he worked there. A slide: "What we know and we trying to do about it."

Fuentes' movement is very notable for having helped rot out the minds of young conservatives with hate and racism (a big deal with downstream effects), but he has never proven himself able to wield that influence consistently offline. Glad to see someone else unpacking that.

New: you think you know Proton, but you really don't. I spoke to 8 current employees, got Slack chats, meeting audio, and an AI manifesto written by its CTO. “That’s bullshit and loser thinking,” Yen wrote. “Stop thinking always of how to be slower, and focus more on how to be faster.” CEO Andy Yen critiques AI in public. But inside, he is pushing everyone to use AI, even those with security concerns 404media.co/manifestos-fear-…

"Nothing of this scale has been seen in the United States, experts say, since the federal government’s counterinsurgency against the New Left and the anti-war movement in the 1960s and 1970s." Incredible reporting here from @awinston wired.com/story/ice-is-runni…

“Arabs don’t produce literature” is really something you can only say if you’ve never had a moment’s contact with genuine civilization. A mind totally consumed by television and self-help books.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Novel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

I joined @PostThroughIt for a new installment of their "Who the Hell is..." series. @letsgomathias, @jaredlholt, @MichaelEHayden and I talked about Substack's premier race science influencer and how, with the help of centrists, he's slowly worked his way back into the mainstream
Who the Hell is Richard Hanania? We’re joined by @letsgomathias and @burkehenryt to retrace the career arc of a very strange “race realist” poster who’s managed to convince the rich and powerful that’s he’s some kind of “intellectual.” patreon.com/PostingThroughIt…

It takes some serious contempt for your audience to sit on TV and claim that "uncontrolled migration" is the reason car insurance is expensive and not... I don't know... a mix of inflation and corporate greed?
“You have so many problems with insurance, in large part, by the way, also related to mass uncontrolled migration with tons of illegal drivers on the roads, which cause insurance costs to just go way up....It's not just about the kids not wanting to get out there and do things. There are also some pretty serious structural issues that the adults have caused problems with as well” -@MZHemingway

Cars are more expensive. Parts for cars are more expensive. Labor for repairs is more expensive. Every part of driving a car is more expensive! But we're supposed to believe the reason insurance is also more expensive is because of immigrants? Intellectually insulting.

“I couldn’t reason my way out of a paper bag but I’m going to use spy-movie words that sound like I’ve uncovered a secret plot. Buy my ghostwritten book about a “sinister elite” who took over America, written while Trump was president and Rs controlled both the House and the Senate.” — Jennica Pounds, Fed
"Everyone" is fixated on Brazil because for a century, the same cabal of NGOs have been running regime change operations all over the world in the name of "democracy." And they're now targeting the United States. Buy book: amazon.com/Unelected-Jennica…
