Update on the free speech era: Regime-aligned billionaire bought CBS to install Bari Weiss at the head of the news operation and now the White House wants to shut down the competing networks.
đ¨BREAKING: In a bombshell move, President Trump has escalated his war on "fake news," demanding that the Federal Communications Commission strip ABC & NBC of their broadcasting licenses. Trump accused these networks of being "deep state propaganda arms" for the Democrat Party.

Grocery prices were the worst part of the latest cpi report
"Beef Prices Are at a Record. The Winners: Cattle Ranchers" https://t.co/CBy9NKqXEd "The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that beef production will fall by about 4% this year. Retail ground-beef prices set a record in August, up about 13% from the same month last year"

This is trash. Weâve moved from âfire people who celebrate murderâ to âfire people who explicitly condemn murder but express opinions I dislike.â Illiberal snowflakery. Get a grip.
This is Laina Marie Pea a Master Sergeant in the US Air Force. She recently made some awful remarks about Charlie Kirkâs death. We have a lack of discipline in our current military ranks. This needs to get fixed ASAP.

Look itâs one thing to arrest illegal Immigrants; wouldnât be my priority, but, whatever. But rounding up and humiliating foreign nationals of an allied nation who were here TO BUILD A FACTORY? How irredeemably stupid can you be?

Using actually comparable questions over time from @PRL_Tweets there has been no change in support for political violence. Even if that weren't true, @ProfessorPape has no evidence (or research design) to connect any changes in opinion to the horrendous acts of violence (in

On this day, 103 years ago, more than 100,000 Christian civilians were murdered by a Muslim army. They were burned alive, raped, tortured, beaten to death, and drowned. And they weren't the first -- they were last. Over the previous decade, more than 2 million Christians in

@TPCarney Calling Trump a âfascistâ and a âthreat to democracyâ amounts to endorsing violence against him and his supporters. A statement of condolence from the man who gave the speech below means nothing. Yes, they are responsible.

I checked my personal Facebook page. A leftist high school acquaintance of mine posted something vitriol about Charlie Kirk. If I took a screenshot and posted it here, it would get so much engagement. It would piss so many people off. I would have so many new followers. But I

Unclear to me if Israeli officials realize the extent to which they've alienated the youth of both major American parties.
Younger Republicans and Evangelicals are much less sympathetic with Israel than older ones: 24% of younger Republicans sympathize more with Israel vs. 52% of older ones; 24% of younger Evangelicals sympathize more with Israel vs. 51% of older ones. Why? https://t.co/fGdOSiEvIo

One reason young Republicans are walking away from Israel is they stopped watching Fox News. Only 12% of young Republicans say Fox is primary source of news vs. 32% of older ones. And 72% of Republicans who rely on Fox sympathize more with Israelis, double percentage of the rest.

In any event, here's the piece since Miller apparently wants to keep it relevant.

The president is seizing a national tragedy to threaten a crackdown on his opposition.

What's even more remarkable is that he's still going with this even though there's no real evidence at this point that Tyler Robinson was a leftist, and some clues he may have been a Groyper. Other conservatives have toned down their rhetoric. We'll see what the WH does.

On Thursday, I wrote about how Trump signaled he intended to use Kirk's shooting as a pretext for a broad crackdown on the left. Here's Stephen Miller being much more explicit. He's talking about RICO and terrorism charges, echoing RW influencers.
Miller: The power of law enforcement under President Trump's leadership will be used to find you, will be used to take away your money, take away your power and if you have broken the law, take away your freedom

Is Rao's even really that good? I like the bottled sauce but...
It keeps getting worse for @FBIDirectorKash : "FBI Director Patel was at Raoâs the night of posts about a person in custody in Kirkâs shooting " I had several sources substantiate this claim, too. When you hate to lose your exclusive reservation, just wing it as FBI Director
