I wrote last month about the group working to persuade Laura Loomer and others on the Right to rethink Ukraine and Russia. They use: Guided trips Examples of Russian attacks on religious targets Putin's attacks on free speech In a strategy tailored for MAGA influencers 1/2

Financial adviser: How much cash on hand do you have and what are your credit card debts? Long pause... Me: About $$$ etc and $$$ etc Financial adviser: Are you guessing? Me: Yes

NEW: I sat down with former DOJ official Jeff Clark as he lays out why he believes the yearslong effort to disbar him is unconstitutional — and why he says he’s prepared to take the fight to the Supreme Court if necessary. @JeffClarkUS @ItsYourGov 🎥 Full interview:

@elljanderson @NFFC Thank you for everything you have done for us. It was a privilege to watch an #nffc player give their all at a World Cup. Best of luck and we will always love you on Trentside

Forest family, Firstly I am so grateful for the love and support you have shown me over the last 2 years especially towards the end of this season. From the minute I walked through the door i fell in love with this club. I want to thank all the staff and players for welcoming me and making my time here so enjoyable, this club gave me the opportunity to grow as a player and a person. Bringing the club European football again after 29 years is what all of you fans deserved and to be a helping hand in that is so special. Nottingham forest will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for all the unforgettable memories. ❤️ 🌳

Worst advice imaginable. It takes extraordinary courage to admit you were wrong, especially in public. @LauraLoomer has done exactly that. It takes even more conviction to spend your own political capital trying to help others see what you now believe to be true. She's doing that too. This is deeply personal for me. I was MAGA in 2016. I worked for President Trump in 2020. I proudly voted for him again in 2024. I've traveled to Ukraine more than 30 times since 2022. And I watched my father endure years of vicious, dishonest attacks because he refused to lie about Russia to a man he had loyally served since 2015. Very few people in Trump 47 can honestly say they've stood with President Trump that long. My father and I saw the Russian threat clearly. Russia's information machine, amplified by anti-American voices like Tucker Carlson, worked relentlessly to discredit him and distort President Trump's understanding of Russia and Ukraine. So yes, Laura changing her position is a significant development. It should be welcomed, not mocked. If your real priority is defeating Russia's influence and protecting America and the West’s interests, you should celebrate people who are willing to change their minds when confronted with evidence - not punish them for it. One path builds a coalition, and we desperately need one. The danger posed by Russia and the broader axis aligned against the West is growing, not shrinking. This is the time to bring more people into the fight, not drive them away.

having now seen the odyssey, i think the only way to view the reactionary freak out over it is to see it a victory for normal ppl. if you’re so brain poisoned that you can’t enjoy that time at the movies then i think you’ve already lost whatever war you think you’re fighting

@hannahluci @wwnorton @LiverightPub Keep me posted! And never a dull moment here, as you can imagine...

@robcrilly @wwnorton @LiverightPub Thank you! None planned but will let you know if that changes. I hope you're well Rob!

It's Hinterlands US publication day! Many thanks to my editor Maria Goldverg at @wwnorton @LiverightPub, and everyone there who worked on it. If you're in the US or Canada you can pick up your copy at bookshops today.

@MattWalshBlog Also there's nothing original in it

Just saw The Odyssey. Despite what you may have heard, literally all of the criticisms by conservatives were entirely correct. The movie is just as woke as you fear, if not more so. The DEI casting is atrocious. Completely takes you out of the story right from the beginning. But even worse than that is Nolan’s decision to turn Odysseus into an anachronistic whiney, solemn shell of a man plagued by “trauma” and guilt. It’s impossible to overlook these flaws because the film itself is not terribly entertaining or well constructed. For the most part it is disjointed, dull, self-serious, disenchanted, somehow feeling both verbose and overly rushed at the same time. The dialogue is some of the worst I’ve ever heard in a “critically acclaimed” film. “On the nose” and “clunky” are descriptions that can’t even begin to describe this script. At no point in the story does Nolan ever transport the audience to the ancient world. You never feel like you’re 3,000 years in the past. You feel like you’re watching modern Americans put on a pageant, because you are. Nobody would be calling this thing a masterpiece if it was made by a director not named Christopher Nolan.

Just to say... telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2026/0…

@LauraLoomer Kudos Good for you

I did say these things about Ukraine and Zelensky and I am not deleting my posts because I’ve realized, I was wrong. I was living in a media echo chamber and I was propagandized by Russian media on social media to believe those things. So I came to Ukraine to see the country for myself. I am going to try to find evidence for the propaganda I’ve been fed, and if I don’t find it, I will let everyone know so they too can come to see the light. On day one, I’ve already seen photos of dead priests in Bucha murdered by Russia and I saw the mass grave where the bodies of murdered Christians were placed after Russia sent forces from Chechnya to massacre innocent people. I spoke with officials who rescue POWs and they showed me photos of Ukrainian POWs who had swastikas engraved into their forehead by Russians. Who are the Nazis? 🤔 I was lied to for years. I realized Ukraine and @ZelenskyyUa aren’t the jihadi apologists… but Russia and Putin are! I was wrong! I have a responsibility to correct the record. Russia is very good at information warfare.
