Terrific
President Trump said that the United States would expand its targets in the war in Iran, after its president apologized to neighboring countries caught up in the spiraling Middle East conflict — but rejected the notion of surrender.
Many right-leaning outlets are in fact Apple News partners, but Bozell's MRC complains that a feed might be lacking in any of them (right, because the user so chose). It also doesn't classify material from the WSJ opinion page as "right."
Government pressure on editorial content is outrageous.
None of this is normal

I'll give you the satisfaction of a block for a truly insane argument there, Socrates.
You're projecting. Big time.
Axe body spray?
After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

If they don't want to kill all Jews and destroy the nation of Israel. It's a low bar.

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.
As a Zionist, she is too Muslim for me. I still don't wish harm on her.
I don't like Rep. Omar. Physical attacks are still wrong.

Trump managed to turn Republicans against the NFL, beer, cops, and now guns.
This is hardly new for Trumpers and their GOP.

The term of art for it is "shocks the conscience," but I think "c'mon man" is a much better legal standard.
Climate change. AKA tectonic plates.
The Feds Who Killed Alex Pretti Are Heavily Shielded From Being Sued. Blame the Supreme Court for That.

Trump-administration officials and MAGA influencers have repeatedly called these activists “violent” and said they are involved in “riots.” But the resistance in Minnesota is largely characterized by a conscious, strategic absence of physical confrontation. Activists have made the decision to emphasize protection, aid, and observation. When matters escalate, it is usually the choice of the federal agents. Of the three homicides in Minneapolis this year, two were committed by federal agents. “There’s been an incredible, incredible response from the community. I’ve seen our neighbors go straight from allies to family—more than family—checking in on each other, offering food and rides for kids and all kinds of support, alerting each other if there’s ICE or any kind of danger,” Malika Dahir, a local activist of Somali descent, told me. If the Minnesota resistance has an overarching ideology, you could call it “neighborism”—a commitment to protecting the people around you, no matter who they are or where they came from. The contrast with the philosophy guiding the Trump administration couldn’t be more extreme. Vice President Vance has said that “it is totally reasonable and acceptable for American citizens to look at their next-door neighbors and say, ‘I want to live next to people who I have something in common with. I don’t want to live next to four families of strangers.’” Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Minneapolis or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America.
One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
My Twitter account is in an Xbot timeout.
I found the statements by officials after the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE thugs to be abhorrent in the extreme.
