Absolutely. Boot notes that Reagan "was an avid consumer of its propaganda." But in 1965, he made the break - in part because he had to. (Also, the Birchers never trusted him.)

I have no real dog in this fight, but I’ll ask for the sake of clarification: didn’t I read in the Max Boot Reagan bio that Reagan loved to read Bircher publications in the early 60’s, and would cite and send them to his friends?

Criminal slumlord Jared Kushner’s corrupt $5B resort plan in Albania has all but effectively collapsed after the country froze all of his assets that are tied with his money laundering project. Good. Well done to the Albanian people who refused to see this happen.

The USS Abraham Lincoln has been at sea for 200+ straight days, and reports say conditions onboard are so bad that multiple sailors have tried to jump off. Our servicemembers deserve better than this. There needs to be an investigation.

ICE detained legal green-card holders Maryam Tahmasebi, her husband, and their high-school-aged son. They handcuffed the child, shipped them to Texas, separated the family, and held them 120+ days. Read. Share. Make them impossible to ignore: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Fauci needs to sue this man into bankruptcy, if only to dissuade the other inveterate liars of this administration.

Peter Navarro on Maria Bartiromo's show lies with impunity that "it's an indisputable fact" that Fauci "created that virus" and "killed people"

The MAGA republican controlled House voted today in favor of a national defense authorization act which integrates US and Israel militaries. They merged American forces with a regime who are committing genocide and gave that regime more power in the US. Truly fascist shit.

Jack Smith: Ithink we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind & scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime. One of the reasons I wanted to be here is to celebrate the public servants who are now being victimized. It angers me to see them being demonized

Viktor Orbán created the global blueprint for authoritarian populism and became a MAGA hero. Today, Hungarian voters sent him packing after 16 years in power. There is nothing inevitable about these guys. Organize. Vote. Fight back. It works.

Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that. Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best. Welcome home, Integrity crew!

Süddeutsche Zeitung reports: No Kings demonstrations occurred in more than 3300 localities across the US and in several foreign countries (including Berlin). The organizers appear to have met their goal of surpassing all prior demonstrations in the US, with some 9 million participants.

🚨 THIS JUST IN: With over 100 protests still to come, we can already estimate that at least 8 million people participated in No Kings protests today. That makes No Kings 3 the largest single day of protest in American history. #NoKings

The more Trump’s regime unfolds, the more our country resembles Russia, China, North Korea and countries ruled by extremists. Trump uses the same criminal tactics as those dictatorships... #MohommadNazirPaktyawal #TrumpsICERegime

This Trump tweet is a work of art and needs to be kept for posterity. It turns out that the US has destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capability. Yet, to combat a military with no capability he is left pleading with allies he has regularly insulted to save him in the Gulf.

Half of the young men of America is not “a handful

DoomSentinel@doomwatch34.bsky.social

That's a piss poor argument Tom. Addictions aren't rational behaviour, and the poor choices of a handful of young men don't negate the dire economic realities lived by a tens of millions of Americans.

MS NOW confirms: Far-right activist Ed Martin is facing an ethics investigation from the D.C. Bar. The Office of Disciplinary Counsel — the enforcement arm for the local DC Bar — alleges that Martin violated ethics rules in early 2025 by making threats against Georgetown University Law Center.

Proud of my Cato Institute colleague David Bier who stood his ground at a hearing today and talked back to bloviating Sen. John Kennedy (R-Louisiana). David responds to the clip and furnishes receipts. @cato.org

KENNEDY: You said, 'Republicans think can troll their way to ethnic cleansing.' Did I read that correctly? BIER: DHS tweeted for 100m deportations. That would be ethnic cleansing! K: You don't think it's hyperbolic? B: I think advocating 100m deportations is ethnic cleansing. Yes. Your time is up

Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.
