Nancy's Angels starring AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and Bernie Sanders

New Podcast: Today's News, With @mtracey . Episode One, "Conspiretardation." A message in a bottle, from a world gone crazy racket.news/publish/post/190…

It may not be hyperbolic to say that the only thing standing between us and mob rule is Michael Tracey.

From the Old Editor: "We Care If It's True. We Don't Care Why." I'm not leaving, but Racket has a new Editor, new staff, and a new mission: open.substack.com/pub/taibbi…

People who have rigid, sanctimonious, self-righteous views of how to handle, process and deal with extreme grief either never had to navigate it before or have zero empathy.

🚨NEW: @mtaibbi tells @emilyjashinsky that Dems' call for military to *DISOBEY TRUMP* reminds him of "BEGINNING OF RUSSIAGATE"🚨 "It's such blatant, bad, overwrought propaganda ... It reminds me again of the beginning of Russiagate when there were all these leaks about encouraging people not to share intelligence with the United States." "That made Trump look bad, but it also made the United States look weak and vulnerable and sent the signal that the country was in schism and maybe the government was not stable." "Is that what they're trying to project? I mean, is that right? I don't think so." @DailyCaller

I hate to be a wet blanket, but I think @mtracey has identified some significant evidentiary holes and journalistic lapses in media coverage of the Epstein thing. Some of it reminds me of Russiagate — breathless conclusions unsupported by the available facts. Unlike Russiagate, I don’t think it’s a wholesale fraud. There’s something here. But if you’re interested in the topic, ignore @mtracey’s work at your own peril.

"Charlie's murder exposed a part of an ugliness I had not seen....a tribal nature where people could celebrate.... that tribalness that would eliminate someone's compassion and their empathy, for a young man, a father, a young father and a young husband, murdered in cold blood." @RobSchneider

These huge wedges and conflicts have been so visible in American conservatism ever since Trump emerged on the scene and ran that robustly 2016 anti-establishment campaign. Many liberals refused to see it. Watch this 2017 Tucker/Shapiro debate on jobs and corporate automation:

Turning Point is an influential group, so if Erika Kirk takes a leadership role, her opinions and views are fair game for critique, like anyone else's. But judging how she, or anyone, deals with grief -- especially so soon after such a brutal loss of a spouse -- is repellent.

John Bolton called for Assange, Snowden and Manning to be executed under the Espionage Act, for communicating true information to the public. Now Bolton faces 18 counts under the Espionage Act for mishandling national defense information.

John Bolton once said Edward Snowden “ought to swing from a tall oak tree." But now, Bolton—who has spent his life castigating others for leaking docs—is playing the victim after being accused of mishandling classified information. @ggreenwald on Bolton's indictment:

Ortolan Finistirre strikes again.

🚨 ROGAN: “The Charlie Kirk thing opened up my eyes. I never expected so many people would celebrate that man's murder. That is evil … especially when you're seeing people on the left, that are supposed to be … the inclusive people, celebrating gun violence. That's insane.”

@HardLensMedia is in this fight. We have had some wins though during this nightmare. 1. The plaintiff tried to put a Gag Order on us and failed. 2. Written Discovery Extension DENIED! 3. Subpoenas Failed (they filed for info from the year 2000 to 2023, Kit was in 10th grade & Daniel 7 years old in the year 2000) 4. Judge ruled we are entitled to attorney fees for having to file the motion to quash Subpoenas. This fight is not over and WE WERE DRAGGED INTO THIS! We ask everyone to share our story and help support us in this battle. This is our truth. Thank you. gofundme.com/f/help-kit-dani…

I think people don’t realize the scale of the misdeeds involved in Russiagate. It would be criminal if Trump allowed intelligence/enforcement agencies to get away with what they did.

Martha Stewart has some advice for James Comey.

We have added a new update to our GoFundMe. This fight is NOT over and we are grateful to this community for its solidarity as we face off against this copyright case we are in. Please share our GoFundMe story on all social media gofundme.com/f/help-kit-dani…

ATTENTION ALL JOURNALISTS: Briahna Joy Gray is tired of some of you thinking you can write about any subject you want to write about instead of picking subjects she likes. In the future please submit all your work to her first so she can sign off on it before publication. 🤣

It’s frankly disturbing that Ezra is taking heat for this

A couple of months ago I told Charlie Kirk’s audience, to their faces, that if they support Israel’s destruction of Gaza, they can never again call themselves pro life without being the biggest hypocrites in the world. To the pro Palestine leftists: if you are celebrating a father being murdered in front of his two innocent small children, don’t even tell anyone again that your heart bleeds for the Palestinians. No one believes you. You are not motivated by compassion for children.
