From @TheAthletic: The NAACP has urged Black college athletes to boycott the Southern states where Black voting power is most at risk. "It’s a big ask," our columnist writes. "It is admirable. And to be sure, it’s impossible. But mostly, it’s unfair." nyti.ms/49fHYU3








@BrianBledsoe You were right…storm is definitely hanging around.

There was a time, not very long ago, when Ben Shapiro could reasonably call himself the king of all conservative media. That’s all over now, writes political columnist Ross Barkan. Shapiro’s company, ‘The Daily Wire,’ is instituting significant layoffs. Its YouTube channel’s subscriber base is starting to shrink, and its website has emerged as one of the great traffic losers in conservative media. There are ‘Daily Wire’ YouTube videos that now, after a few days online, have less than 10,000 views, a catastrophically small number for a channel with more than 3 million subscribers. The top comments all mock the low view counts. “If a variety of poor business decisions can be blamed, in part, for the ‘Daily Wire’’s fall from grace — ill-fated investments in feature films, an epic fantasy series, and peculiar merchandise — the greater story is the collapse of Shapiro’s constituency,” writes Barkan. “There are two realities to Shapiro conservatism in 2026: It retains a significant foothold among Republican elites, and it is fast being rejected by the future grassroots of the party.” Read more: nymag.visitlink.me/KtpIKV



In Georgia one gubernatorial candidate, Woke Rick Jackson, is investing in data centers. Georgians DO NOT WANT data centers destroying their towns. But does the government care? No. Am I the only one who doesn't trust this guy at all?


NEW: A Tennessee school board member is standing by his comments after telling a high schooler, "God, you’re hot," during a meeting. No one was seen challenging Washington County official Keith Ervin after he made the comment and put his arm around the girl. "God you’re hot, you know that? Where do you go to school at?" he said. Ervin is standing by his remarks after receiving backlash from the community, says he was impressed by her "smart questions." "I mean, I was impressed and the other board members was impressed because of the question she asked," he said to a local news outlet. "And, you know, I’m old school. I’m an old farm boy. And I didn’t mean nothing by anything. I just was proud of her." Ervin claims there is a lot of "context missing" from the viral videos. Thousands of people have since signed a petition demanding his removal.






The Fed Is Splitting Right Before Warsh Takes Over 📺In this Short video, @AxelMerk and @AdamTaggart discuss the recent FOMC meeting, where the Fed kept rates unchanged (as expected) but revealed a deeper internal divide, with a record number of dissents. That’s your first signal that the Fed is no longer speaking with one voice. One expected dissent (wanting a cut) came from Stephen Moran. But three additional dissents, though they agreed on the current rate level, opposed the policy language. They rejected the easing bias (the idea that cuts are coming). The Fed statement still includes language implying future “additional adjustments” (i.e., cuts). That’s where tension builds: dissenters argue that this is bad forward guidance, though incoming Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is known to oppose forward guidance entirely. So, locking in expectations now = cornering the Fed later. Jerome Powell was asked why this language remains. His response was "no urgency to change it." In other words, leadership transition is already creating policy friction. @AxelMerk thinks there are two interpretations of what the dissents really mean: 1. Resistance narrative: Fed members are asserting independence and sending a message to Warsh: "you won’t control us". 2. Alignment narrative: They oppose forward guidance (like Warsh) and signaling: "we’re already aligned with your philosophy". The reality is likely a mix of both.
