This is a really important story: on the danger of believing your own conspiracy theories. Iran did. Is the US next? theatlantic.com/newsletters/ar…

NEW: The nominee to run the Office of Special Counsel shared a 911 truther video last year on *911*, has ties to a holocaust denier, and said in a video we uncovered that straight white men are the smartest group and should be prioritized. He’s 30. cnn.com/2025/07/02/pol…

Seems like a pretty easy problem to fix if you actually care about running a functional site, but then, there is little evidence of that on here.

White nationalists fabricate racist quotes, attribute them to a dead rabbi (Nahum Rabinovich) in speech that never happened, add in picture of a completely different rabbi (David Stav). Get half a million views. No community note. Just more Musk bucks for Nazis.

🧵Like clockwork, ahead of Netanyahu's trip to DC next week, the Israeli right is pushing for West Bank annexation. This isn't new, but it is particularly notable for a few reasons that should carry a sense of urgency 1/ timesofisrael.com/likud-minister…

This title is like if you asked ChatGPT to produce a Dan Brown novel. And yes, I will be reading it.

Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon couldn't stop Trump's attack on Iran. Musk couldn't stop Trump's beautiful bill. No one speaks for Trump or his base but Trump, yet many keep falling for people who pretend to. Why? I wrote about the bullshit job of the MAGA intellectual:

Contrary to the claims of self-styled MAGA thought leaders like Tucker and Bannon, "'Trumpism' is not 'anti-war' or 'pro-worker,' 'neoconservative' or 'neo-isolationist,' or any other ideologically coherent category; it is whatever Trump says it is." theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

"Trump’s decision to strike Iran didn’t just expose the regime’s empty threats of mass retaliation. It also exposed prominent commentators who have postured as tribunes of Trumpism to be pretenders to power, purporting to speak for a movement" they don't. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

“Trumpism’ is not ‘anti-war’ or ‘pro-worker,’ ‘neoconservative’ or ‘neo-isolationist,’ or any other ideologically coherent category; it is whatever Trump says it is.” theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

“There are no MAGA intellectuals, just Trump and opportunistic ideologues attempting to hitch their pet projects to his brand.” /1 theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

More than a half million views on an image stolen from a post I did on how the White House was going gold for a childhood cancer awareness month in 2021.

"The simple truth is this: There is Bannonism and Tuckerism, and perhaps, in a quiet corner of the Naval Observatory that has been repeatedly swept for bugs to ensure that the boss isn’t listening, J. D. Vance–ism. But there is no Trumpism without Trump." theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

Tucker Carlson's favorite Hitler apologist is trying to analogize the misunderstood Hitler to the current president of Iran. Aside from the bad historical revisionism, this is just... not a comparison I'd draw to anyone I'm hoping to defend! But then, I am not a Hitler apologist.
