NEW: Wired’s editor Katie Drummond said it added 200k new paid subs last year. She told me: “If you still don’t understand why Wired covers politics, you are either willfully ignorant or a complete idiot.” nytimes.com/2026/03/17/bus…

I asked @POTUS about the FBI reportedly seizing election records in Arizona. He said they must have done that because it was a “rigged” election. I pointed out to him that his own AG said there was not measurable voter fraud to overturn that election

@TateTheTalisman @louistheroux I'm not pushing the documentary. I mentioned his name because it came up during my interview with Louis. Why did you decline taking part in the documentary?

NEW Within minutes of Trump announcing the launch of Operation Epic Fury, X was flooded with disinformation. Almost all of the accounts sharing fake videos of the attack on Iran featured blue checkmarks, meaning X is profiting from this. wired.com/story/x-is-dro…

This interaction with Gregory Bovino on X was beyond strange. It all started when Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker tweeted that "Gregory Bovino has to go." Bovino—the erstwhile roving warlord atop Donald Trump's Border Patrol junta—had other ideas. And those ideas involved armed federal agents. And pie. "Nah, gubner, too busy leading agents to arrest illegal aliens," Bovino responded. "Besides, Chicago may need another double digit drop in a whole smorgasbord of violent crime, compliments of the Green Machine. Perhaps we could meet for a sugar-free slice of heirloom apple pie -on me!" Bovino's threat to launch a renewed Border Patrol occupation of Chicago, apparently as retribution for a politician criticizing him, was certainly news. And journalist Amanda Moore—who has spent months covering Bovino and federal law enforcement for Mother Jones and other outlets—quickly pointed that out. What happened next was bizarre—and a bit creepy. “Perhaps you could make the pie for us,” Bovino tweeted at Moore. Then it got even weirder.

NEW: MAGA supporters are very angry about the lack of arrests over Epstein—to the point one Trump supporter went to Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun and can of fuel. But rather than blaming Trump, they's blaming figures like Bannon, Bondi and Kash Patel wired.com/story/maga-is-…

This gentleman nailed it. What's so fucking pathetic about FBI Director Kash Patel and America's pedophile president: to prop themselves up, these corrupt and incompetent LOSERS are constantly riding the coattails of America's winners. 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯👇
