Marty Makary used to ambush a Virginia courthouse every other Friday. That was the day the local tax-exempt hospital reserved the docket to sue its poorest patients. Marty would show up at the door with a lawyer and intercept them on the way in. They were working-class people in job uniforms, embarrassed, grim-faced, expecting to lose. He reviewed the bills on the spot, for free, as a medical expert. Pointing out fraud, upcoding, inappropriate care, contradictions to the court. Then his counterpart, a young lawyer named Joey Kirchgessner, argued until the hospital cried uncle. They won A LOT. I drove down one Friday to watch. I was working in the Trump White House at the time. I was so proud of him I could barely stand it. That's the man the WSJ op-ed page wants you to believe is the problem.

@ingelramdecoucy When Stewart took the clown nose off on Crossfire, Daily Show was never the same. From then on, the format was simply one big in-joke for lefties who wanted comfort laughs.

I think Variety is giving Colbert far too much credit here, John Stewart killed the late night television format. Colbert and Kimmel are unoriginal even in their hackery, they’re just pale reflective of the “clown nose on-clown nose off” hackery that Stewart perfected
Variety@Variety

Has #StephenColbert’s push into politics hurt the late-night format? Late-night was never supposed to play to a particular type of audience: #JohnnyCarson made fun of politicians, but mostly their public goofs, not their policies. #JayLeno rarely became political. And #DavidLetterman feuded with politicians but not over what they did in Washington. In 2026, late-night shows are a wholly different creation. “These shows were built to be vaudeville in the box in your living room,” says professor Dannagal Young, who studies political satire and the media preferences of liberals and conservatives. “They were a place to watch jugglers and clowns and funny people doing impressions. They were not made for this.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lHirU

Just so shocked that the guy with the Nazi tattoo turned out to be a douchebag.....

“Dumb motherf****** didn’t deserve to live.” Far-left Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner mocking a U.S. soldier who was shot four times in Afghanistan in a resurfaced Reddit comment. The post made fun of Purple Heart recipient Pfc. Ted Daniels after he took incoming fire during a 2012 clash with the Taliban. Platner’s now deleted comment went on to say: "At least his stupidity and fat ass wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt. Poor marksmanship on the Taliban's part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible s*** decision possible when it comes to small unit combat."

This is nothing more than a silent coup and a constitutional crisis. Civil servants are supposed to do their jobs regardless of whether they like the current President. Trump, like every other POTUS before him, is entitled to this service.
Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Disgraced and indicted former FBI Director James Comey just issued a DEEP STATE call to action: "Hang on" in the shadows until a Democrat becomes president They just SAY IT on NATIONAL TV. COMEY: "I have great confidence in the people down below...HANG ON, 2.5 years, then we can REBUILD." "If you're bragging about forcing out career prosecutors and agents because the president doesn't like a lawful investigation, something is seriously broken at the top." Lock this traitor up!

We're excited to announce that @SirajAHashmi is joining @townhallcom as Senior Digital Strategist. For years, Siraj has built one of the most recognizable personalities in conservative media by mastering the delicate art of making everyone laugh while simultaneously making at least three factions of the internet furious before lunch. He has the rare ability to post something that sounds unserious, becomes a news cycle, and somehow ends with blue-check journalists demanding accountability from a guy whose profile picture probably involved losing a bet. Frankly, bringing Siraj into leadership is either a brilliant digital strategy or the final sign that none of us are logging off anymore. Possibly both. Still, if you’re building a modern media operation, you need people who actually understand how audiences consume information in 2026. Siraj not only understands it, he has probably already made fun of it, ratioed it, and screenshotted the reactions for later use. We’re thrilled to have him aboard and mildly terrified to see what happens once he has institutional authority. Please welcome Siraj to the team. And, for legal reasons, do not encourage him.
Siraj Hashmi@SirajAHashmi

PERSONAL NEWS: Thrilled to announce that this is my second day as the Senior Digital Strategist at @townhallcom and I still haven’t been fired… yet.

The doomers are in full meltdown over AI. Sam Altman paid $10k to preserve his brain after death. The catch is he has to be euthanized first. The man who says we are past the event horizon of digital superintelligence has decided to solve death by killing himself. But the real story is bigger than one tech CEO's transhumanism. There is an entire industry — left and populist right — incentivized to keep you afraid of the most powerful tool man has ever built. AI is not the apocalypse, and it's not the messiah. Conservatives have been reflexively retreating from cultural and technological arenas for decades, and it has cost us enormously. We can’t let that happen with AI. The short-term disruption might be painful. But in the medium and long term, AI could be the most powerful tool for human flourishing ever devised. Take heart: Christ is King, and He hasn't lost the plot. Now let's build: youtube.com/watch?v=MzEY6Q…

@BrasilBurnett @neoavatara Even better: He didn't even change them. He just ignored them and then bullied GM and Chrysler's creditors into taking the hit. And the money he used for it was stolen from the TARP bailout program.

FIRST ON FOX: Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner's deleted Reddit account reveals graphic posts about masturbating in portable toilets and praising explicit military restroom graffiti — the latest in a growing trail of vulgar comments that could define his race against Susan Collins. Platner has dismissed past controversies as 'joking' and 's***posting,' but GOP strategists say the pattern raises fundamental questions about his judgment and fitness for office. He became Democrats' presumptive nominee after Gov. Janet Mills dropped out last month.
