Revera Id Non Faciet is the new E Pluribus Unum

@willcollier @SonnyBunch Right. The Time would be worth seeing. And you’re not even getting the whole of MV.

This is the worst lineup of musical acts I have ever seen.

@AldrichPatrick @willcollier @SonnyBunch I am so glad to see the Morris/Jimmy Jam love in this thread. Thank you for your service.

@dilanesper Well they’re only talking to themselves and have convinced each other that the polls aren’t right and those that disagree don’t matter.

It's interesting that almost no Republican commentators are talking about POTUS' low approval ratings and how to get them up. If a Dem President had these ratings it would be all Dems would be talking about.

@EsotericCD This is the doom loop, right? Each side forgiving graver and graver sins on their side to prevent the other from having power. It’s this shared mirror hatred of our countrymen that will end us.

I am reminded of all the people who told me that if I didn't like Trump I had to act like Kamala Harris was a saviour, when in fact she sat at the head of a truly insane army of progressive activists eager to directly attack our structure of government in a much more methodical way than Trump has.

Feels like a good time to repost a relevant piece. If you think Ken Paxton's odiousness makes James Talarico any better as a choice, then you don't understand why - as a Christian - I consider Talarico to be morally worse: a false counselor hiding behind claimed Christian virtue to lie lead his flock astray. I *hate* him in ways I will never quite loathe the familiar corruption of Paxton. Do not pretend to me that he is a hero - he is malevolence in a pleasing disguise. nationalreview.com/2026/03/james-…

@AaronBlake @WSJ If I’m reading that right, the only GOP Pres he’s ahead of is Nixon?

Interesting chart from @WSJ. Trump's "strong" approval in his own party (57%) is still historically good. But it's less remarkable than it once was.

@petespiliakos @dilanesper Agreed. And his baggage is immense. But he’ll have the full force of Thiel et al. Will be interesting.

@dilanesper I don't think he sold his soul to Trump to *not* run for president, but running as the veep of an unpopular administration is also pretty bad.

i doubt this is true. Indeed the Iran War going badly probably makes him the logical candidate.

@uckema @Omnifarious0 @CartoonsHateHer Funny that in the most litigious society in history he points to all the departments who prevent businesses from being sued (or provide defenses once they are) as being fake.

@Omnifarious0 @CartoonsHateHer Compliance is huge otherwise the 3 letter agents show up and ask me why I sold clankera to the norks

My favorite part of this discourse is that a lot of the guys who are like "men do back breaking physical labor so women can have their fake email jobs" also, in fact, have fake email jobs and are not performing any physical labor.

@lecternleader @SquidbillyCPO1 This read like you were the one crying?

@SquidbillyCPO1 We won. Stop crying.

On a serious note, I am writing up my complaint against the DOJ and submitting it this week. Maybe I'll fly to DC and deliver it personally. My situation is different than most. The infamy gained from this photo will be in history books. What they did to me will have a generational effect on my family and their livelihoods. I was mocked and called a thief by Jimmy Kimmel, John Krasinski, and Jim Carey. My face and the accusation of being a thief was shared globally... for years. It still persists today harming my chances to win my local election or lead a normal life. Public school teachers told my children and their friends that their dad was a terrorist. My wife's reputation was dragged through the mud. Death threats caused her work to have to hire private security. USF denied my reentry into college. I had to fight to get my guns rights back. My children and myself were subjected to additional screenings by the TSA. My federal probation officer tried to stop me from speaking out on @Timcast warning that more death threats might come if I choose to talk. My attorney fees were 100k, I was fined 5k and I lost five years of my life to date fighting the lies they told about me. We spent an additional 150k in publicity trying to clear my name and restore my reputation. The DOJ could've chosen to release the evidence clearing my name but withheld it. They maliciously charged me with felony theft. We lost things that can never be restored but if they choose to do the right thing and restore the J6ers, we can finally finish setting things right.

@LearningthePath @SquidbillyCPO1 @lecternleader Fact check: true. Nobody was ever charged with anything before Obama.

@SquidbillyCPO1 @lecternleader There was already Lawfare before J6. The IRS Targeting Scandal under Obama, Crossfire Hurricane, and the Fednapping Hoax. The Lawfare would’ve happened with or without J6.

@dirtyfiends @rprez2012 @burgessev @ShelbyTalcott Yes, but I support that!

@rehuffman4 @rprez2012 @burgessev @ShelbyTalcott Polisci professor at NYU with these views? He's a DEI hire.

How Trump lost Senate Republicans, w @ShelbyTalcott - His juice is LOW after Cassidy lost and Trump endorsed against Cornyn, per senators and aides - Senate Rs hated the Paxton endorsement and saw the attack on parliamentarian as low blow - Politically, the anti-weaponization fund is "unexplainable. And that's the problem," said Sen. Cramer. McConnell using Dems' words: "slush fund" - Timing for $1.8 B fund was terrible coming before the reconciliation vote ->"This is a delay of the administration’s making," GOP aide says - GOP spent two weeks wrangling over ballroom security before deciding to drop it; the WH indicated to Rs it could threaten to veto a reconciliation that's not to Trump's liking - Grassley told Blanche admin needs to coordinate more with Congress. Meeting w Blanche an "absolutely shitshow," per person briefed - WH official: “No one should be doubting how he’s able to bend everything to his will" - Sen. Lankford on jilted GOP senators: "None of them are punitive enough that they’re not going to do something to poke him in the eye. But they also represent their state.”

@Afinetheorem @asymmetricinfo Remote work is terrible for the youths. Game changer for mid-career.

Super interesting (and not just because it exactly matches all my priors. Young folks worries about AI should be much more worried about high-remote-work industries: there, everyone hires in-network and the young have no network!)

@rprez2012 @burgessev @ShelbyTalcott Only a polisci professor could frame this so perfectly on message and brutally myopic. Hoping the press office sees this and your students don’t!

@burgessev @ShelbyTalcott Senate Republicans: - oppose a woman becoming Senator from Louisiana - oppose the SAVE act - oppose victims of Biden DOJ - oppose modernizing the White House from the 19th century

@realchrishammer @EWErickson Wait I thought it was the deep state that was for mid east wars?

@EWErickson People like you when the deep state are the only reason why they’re turning against the president. The majority of the GOP understand that this needs to happen. We have been letting them kill us for 47 years and we are tired of it so why don’t you shut your nasally fat ass up!!!

For those paying attention: the Arab partners didn’t know Trump was about to attack Iran. This is now performance as gas prices turn more and more Americans against the GOP.

@foodandphotos8 @j9_atx @EWErickson What’s more Texan than that?

@j9_atx @EWErickson You're voting for Texas by electing a corrupt piece of shit that was nearly convicted and removed from office?

The reality here is Ken Paxton can win Texas. But the lift to get him across the finish line will take money away from Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, and other states. It'll be a pyrrhic victory for the GOP.

@acadianscooter @Mikey5Aces @JakeSherman Trump is -22 in this district. gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-04-07-t…

@Mikey5Aces @JakeSherman He is very popular in this district

BREAKING NEWS: PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP is expected in Rep. MIKE LAWLER'S district with the congressman this Friday for an official event on the economy, according to multiple sources familiar with the planning.

@logicVemotions @andrewlc_ @texanLFClover @kaitlancollins Seems a bit of non-sequitur? Seems she gathered names for petitions, was paid by the name, and tried to juice her income over the span of 20 years. Very bad all around - glad she was charged! Does not seem to prove anything Blanche said?

@andrewlc_ @texanLFClover @rehuffman4 @kaitlancollins Is this logical or emotion? x.com/i/status/20564…

Tina Peters, the Republican former election clerk imprisoned for crimes related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, will receive clemency from Colorado’s Democratic Gov. Jared Polis and soon be released from custody, Polis exclusively told CNN. cnn.com/2026/05/15/pol…

@TheStalwart I guess isn’t the real question how much (if any) kayfabe does Warsh do?

@TheStalwart What about C) rates are not cut but D) warsh head nods something about how it’s actually possible /wise to cut before EOY (fed balance sheet yards yadda) B) Trump doesn’t blow a gasket

If I had to guess. A) Kevin Warsh does not, in fact, cut rates and B) Trump doesn't blow a gasket, and is weirdly chill about it

@LevelHeading @bonchieredstate Is this a serious question? Bill Gates.

@bonchieredstate Devil's advocate: would you prefer Bill Gates or China gets the farmland?

“We need to sell farmland to China so we can seize it later.” Or, you know, you could never allow them to buy it in the first place. Seems simpler than pretending the government can just seize land without serious legal issues. (It’s okay to just say Trump is wrong)

@WeDidItOnce @aDankCajun @kaitlancollins @SonofLiberty357 Okay. She committed a crime and was convicted by a jury.

@aDankCajun @kaitlancollins @SonofLiberty357 Try making a coherent argument without using the words joooz or p€do.
