Only 26% of Americans think the ICE agent's shooting of Renee Good was a legitimate use of force. That percentage, by the way, is about the same share of Americans who were birthers. Think of it as core MAGAism.

Just asked Chat GPT some questions about Hitler.
What I learned:"Pattern to notice
Hitler’s lies followed a consistent strategy:
Invent or exaggerate a threat
Claim self-defense or victimhood
Use legal or moral language to justify violence
Suppress evidence and opposition"Sounds familiar?

This is stunning video. How, in 2026, did an actual journalist get in to a trump White House press briefing and was able to ask a real question?

You don’t kiss our ass so your question doesn’t matter and you’re not a real reporter. That’s their answer to anyone who questions their lies.

To put Leavitt’s view of what is and isn’t a journalist into perspective …
This exchanged occurred during a White House presser where Karoline Leavitt gave the first question to Riley Gaines, the disgraced Olympic swimmer who launched her career as a bigoted MAGA mouthpiece and two bit podcaster simply because she tied for fifth place with a transgender woman.
