For @realDailyWire, I wrote about Michigan’s U.S. Senate race, the choice between bad Democrats and worse Democrats, and the rise of Islamoleftism—a pernicious ideology that has already wrought widespread damage in Western Europe and now threatens to take root in America. dailywire.com/news/with-abdu…

Look, she’s actually not wrong to plead “authenticity.” What’s dishonest is suggesting that Haley Stevens—or frankly even Abdul El-Sayed—are running as anything other than their authentic selves. Stevens: a moderate with a mockable Midwestern twang, resisting intense pressure from within her coalition to embrace Western self-antipathy. El-Sayed: a radical committed to reshaping American politics around Islamoleftism. And McMorrow: a progressive who stands by her view that Middle America would be better off taking cues from coastal elites—she said as much in this other clip from the same interview. I could name a hundred things each could’ve, should’ve, and would’ve done differently if they weren’t, but it does seem pretty clear that they’re all running as their true selves. And whoever wins the Democratic Senate primary in one of the country’s most important swing states will tell us something revealing about how that party understands its own “authentic” self.

.@MalloryMcMorrow on CNN: “I am not someone who wanted to be in office or wanted to be in Congress when I was in diapers. I started my career as a car designer and I worked in a very different career… I tweeted normal things like a normal person and people are desperate for authenticity."

Spencer Pratt is doing a good job exposing just how much many conventional liberals and progressives have given up on fixing the cities they live in. In SF, Daniel Lurie has shown there’s an alternative to lining your friends’ pockets, sticking with what’s clearly broken, and treating decline and disorder as inevitable. In LA, seeing a Mayor Pratt definitely still seems like a longshot. But his message is compelling and he clearly has a strong grasp of the city’s problems.

At the same time, you’re seeing outlets like TMZ move *into* politics. They’re reading the same trendline in reverse—and realizing that as Washington coverage becomes less policy-driven and more tabloidy, they have built-in advantages most political media doesn’t.
Corey Walker 🇺🇸@CoreyWriting

Correct. Tim Pool has discussed this on his show multiple times, but politics doesn't bring in numbers anymore and right-wing pundits are pivoting to culture and lifestyle commentary to expand their audiences.

If you watch the full interview, it’s pretty clear the conversation was far from “intense.” There are a few moments of mild, respectful pushback, but it’s largely a cordial, friendly, and agreeable exchange. There is a reason the New York Times constantly runs polished, quasi-glamorous profiles of figures like Carlson, Nick Fuentes, Marjorie Taylor Greene, James Fishback, etc.—but hardly ever does the same for senior Trump administration officials or right-of-center media/political figures in good standing with the president and his team. It is because Tucker and his ilk represent everything MAGA conservatives aren’t—but what New York Times readers want to believe them to be: cartoonishly bigoted and far too fringe, conspiratorial, and bizarre to win national elections—yet nevertheless, substantively much closer to the far-left on foreign and economic policy questions.
Lulu NYT@LuluGNavarro

My very intense conversation with Tucker Carlson where we talk about what he says are Trump’s ‘supernatural’ powers, the President’s betrayal of his party, the people he despises in MAGAWorld, and so much more. nytimes.com/2026/05/02/mag…

Notice the subtle maneuver here: it’s bad to pathologize those you disagree with (true), oh and btw you’re unhealthily obsessed for noticing luxury beliefs. It’s only gonna get worse once my Luxury Beliefs book comes out. Buckle up.

Not that this stuff doesn't contain some elements of truth, but I notice that conservatives have gotten unhealthily obsessed with various efforts to pathologize and psychoanalyze why people disagree with them — all this "luxury beliefs" stuff blah blah. It's loser shit.

Hello, allied progressive intersectional folx! 👋🏼👋🏽👋🏾👋🏿 Join me in demonstrating public support for bands of religious fanatics who carry out campaigns of mass rape, kidnapping, torture, and murder—or else you’re an Islamophobe and insufficiently woke. Also, sex changes for kids ARE healthcare! 🏳️‍⚧️ 🇵🇸 🌈

Seems like something to talk about: “Data centers occupy only about 3% of the land in Loudoun… and provide 45 percent of the nearly $2.9 billion in county tax revenue… Even as data centers have funded an expansive local government, they have also lowered the tax burden on residents… Loudoun reduced its homeowner property-tax rate every year for a decade, cutting it by about 40%”

Wild: data centers are now responsible for nearly half of county tax revenue in Loudon County, VA @judgeglock city-journal.org/article/loudou…

Had Buttigieg resigned from a sinking Biden administration at this point—rather than going on TV to defend something he’s almost certainly smart enough to have known was foolish and indefensible—he’d likely be the runaway 2028 Democratic frontrunner today.
Clay Travis@ClayTravis

Here’s Mayor Pete announcing the Biden administration’s decision to fight the Jet Blue and Spirit merger so they could protect consumers and ensure low fares. Now the airline doesn’t exist and passengers are stranded across the country.

Very few pundits seem willing to entertain the possibility that the blockade proves to be a net positive—that Iran’s position further deteriorates, gas prices fall, and the conflict winds down successfully before November. If that happens, the midterms could look very different from what people are confidently predicting today. Trump’s foreign policy record is much stronger than most of his critics are willing to admit, and conditions in the Middle East are shifting quickly.
Richard Hanania@RichardHanania

Most people aren't paying attention anymore, but Venezuela has worked out. 1) More political prisoners released than ever before 2) Delcy is purging Maduro loyalists 3) Supporters of Machado can now organize 4) More oil flowing Trump did a heroic thing by removing Maduro.

While it’s nice to see some liberals show a bit of humility here, this remains an unnecessary tragedy. Socialism has consequences. In this case, government overreach produced a colossal failure—hurting tens of millions of American workers, consumers, and their families.
Neera Tanden🌻@neeratanden

Given the news today that Spirit Airlines is shuttering and thousands of people are losing their jobs, I think we should honestly assess whether the Garland DoJ stopping the JetBlue merger with Spirit Airlines was the right call. Perhaps it was but any analysis must consider as part of the equation the loss to so many families ro decide.

@restoreorderusa It’s a common “type of poaster,” but a pretty unusual “type of voter.”

This Thomas Massie "type of voter" has a lot in common with gay race communists, by his own admission – not a surprise!
I'm tired boss@coldworld54

@restoreorderusa @StephenM @cenkuygur @AnaKasparian Bro you're cooked. I'm a Ron Paul / Thomas Massie type of voter and I have more in common with Cenk and Ana nowadays than clowns like you or Shapiro, fuck Israel more than anything in the world right now.
