More than half of all Americans back impeaching President Donald Trump, according to a new poll released this week. #Echobox=1777052778" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newsweek.com/donald-trump-i…

Hate to say it, but Hasan represents one of the only paths forward that remains to the American Left after peak woke. All the "abundance" and "moderation" stuff is a pipe dream. Basically every major viable Democrat is already on camera, face hanging out, saying the most demented imaginable falderal about sex and race with his or her whole chest. Not only that but most of them insisted, violently, that to moderate or contest these insane positions even slightly would be the act of a murderous scumbag. You can't actually proceed from that to reinventing yourself as a centrist party, since then you become, by your own logic... a bunch of murderous scumbags! The cognitive dissonance is just too extreme, and anyway all the energetic young bloods coming up are of Hasan's variety: true believers. Charming, glib, telegenic, and totally insane. You may recall the lengthy interview between Hasan Piker and *checks notes* the current mayor of New York, where they ate donuts and dapped each other up and talked about seizing the means of production. That is where all this is headed. I have been boring the guys on @theammind podcast to tears about this for months, trying to Hasan-pill them. Our listeners have responded that oh, Hasan is an idiot, he's astroturfed, he's callow and cruel and deranged. All true. He's also hot, clickable, smooth, and persuasive to thoughtless people who read nothing which--uh-oh!--is a lot of people in this here democratic republic of ours. And now Ezra Klein is extending the Olive Branch to him in the New York Times because he can tell, as ever, which way the wind is blowing. You may not like it, but this is what peak Democrat performance looks like from now on.

Trump is about to hit REM on camera during an Oval Office event. It's just incredible.



The Washington Post Editorial Board was fine with Republicans gerrymandering in Texas. But when Democrats responded in Virginia, it’s a “power grab” that “plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss.”



The Boundary Waters don’t just belong to Minnesotans. They’re the birthright of every single American. Why would we let a foreign mining company ruin them just so they can mine OUR resources, ship them off to China and enrich their shareholders?




It’s a long-awaited milestone—for the first time, westbound US 290 traffic can now travel from downtown Austin to Dripping Springs without stopping at a light! #progress #nonstopmainlanes
