On Hasan Piker: He's not on the ballot! And no one is arguing candidates should *be like him* -- but rather, I'm arguing that's it's good politics to reach his audience. If you disagree, tell me your alternative plan for reaching anti-establishment young men.
Look, the dumbest thing about all this is that I didn’t and don’t care about Piker. Piker never comes up in focus groups with voters as someone they’re following—the way a Rogan or Tucker or Candance does. I don’t think he’s singularly making an impact on politics in any way commensurate with the attention he’s getting. But I care about Tim. I agreed with @Timodc’s original point that using Piker as a litmus test is dumb. Calling up Jon Ossoff to ask what he thinks about Piker is dumb. It is an unnecessary distraction. But I felt like Tim’s discussion of Piker was too dismissive of some of Pikers more toxic positions. And that was the part I wanted to react to. There’s nothing I can do about the fact that the internet distortion field has overtaken the whole thing. And that people are debating my views in a way that is totally divorced from my actual, very-well documented views. That’s just part of what happens when doing this work. The only thing I can do is keep saying what I actually believe. And what I hear voters saying they believe. But politicians can reach voters who are angry about the Iran war and even about America’s relationship to Israel without going on the stream of a guy who said America deserved 9/11. But, it’s also no doubt true that he’s being elevated by the whole conversation and the right answer to questions about him should probably be “Piker, who?” Because that’s what most voters would say if you asked them.
Griffin: We don't know the condition of the airman at this point. I can tell you that the injuries are likely to be serious. A number of service members were injured.
My main takeaway from this was the revelation that Sarah has a book coming out on how to defeat MAGA when Kamala lost following her exact game plan (down to campaigning with Liz Cheney). Tim Miller is only Never Trumper who has actually truly thought about what happened in 24.

CONFIRMED: Pentagon and the US central command is facing anxiety and confusion as Generals have openly defied illegal orders. High profile sackings on going. There's a silent voice beneath the surface.....
Democrats said they wanted a podcast bro of their own. Now they’re trying to cancel @hasanthehun, their top contender. What they actually wanted was a branded content asset, not someone authentic with genuinely appealing politics: jacobin.com/2026/04/democr…

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.
