Is there a "venomous coalition" out there defending Bonhoeffer from Tucker's nonsense? If so, I'd like to join.
The goal of these propagandists seems to be to rehabilitate villains and villainize heroes. To do so, they have to lie about history. Bonhoeffer never “decided” to kill Hitler, nor was he directly involved in any plots to do so. He was involved with an organization that smuggled

very bullish news for American AI labs! Chinese hackers engaged in cyberattacks using Anthropic's Claude, rather than one of the homegrown models like DeepSeek or Kimi https://t.co/uOmADCXCuj

The Kennedy Center booked the World Cup draw at President Donald Trump’s urging. It will occupy much of the campus and displace planned performances.

“Look, assuming everyone treats us badly, because that’s the way I am, but we take in trillions of dollars from [foreign college] students. You know, the students pay more than double when they come in from most foreign countries.” Trump is innumerate, ignorant, and deranged.

Dude, you didn't even come close to asking a decent follow-up question of Maxwell. And I saw you at your boss's criminal trial, you know, the one where he was convicted on 34 felony counts: You couldn't cross-examine your way out of a paper bag. 😀
George, you’ve never been confused for a trial lawyer, and these kinds of posts explain why. When I interviewed Maxwell, law enforcement didn’t have the materials Epstein’s estate hid for years and only just provided to Congress. Stop talking. It’s unbecoming.

The position of the White House is that Trump never did anything wrong, and there is nothing in the remaining Epstein documents that would incriminate him or make him look bad, and that the remaining documents should not in any way, shape, or form be released. — Jim Geraghty 🤔

The Trump admin is about to cut housing grants for the formerly homeless. HUD plans to cut aid for permanent housing by 66%, slashing over $2 billion and leaving 170,000 people at risk of homelessness again. Everyone who would be affected is disabled, and many are 50 or older.

If Ukraine wishes to have any chance to join the EU it needs immediately to issue an EU wide arrest warrant for Timur Mindich, the man accused of embezzling 100 million Euro and who fled the country just before being arrested. Only Ukraine can issue it. As a member since 2018 of

An FBI led by Ka$h Patel and his even-less-qualified deputy Dan Bongino is a bureau designed to troll the libs — and, more dangerously for every American, to weaponize the normally fiercely independent bureau in service to Donald Trump personally. —Garrett M. Graff

an average working-class man who'd stumbled upon $100,000 in wadded bills in the factory parking lot could buy this house in the 1950s, support 4 kids & a house wifey to stay at home all-day-long. #ThoseWereTheDays(Not)

Given everything we know about Donald Trump, everything he himself has said about girls and women, it’s hard to envision what innocent behavior he would have been engaged in for “hours” spent with a victim of abuse at the scene of the crime—Epstein’s home. —Joyce Vance
