Insane story, incredible reporting by @NickBerardini
The N.B.A. player Jontay Porter got deep into FanDuel, and in debt to the wrong people. The only way out, it seemed, was to gamble on himself. newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

EXCLUSIVE: For the first time, a Pentagon official explains exactly how @SecWar blocked the promotions of women and people of color from the military's most senior ranks. Some say the new process is illegal. My latest for @MSNOWNews ms.now/news/pete-hegseth-pen…

Nobody is taking issue with what the troops did in Epic Fury - we take issue with the linkage between those tactical and operational successes and the lack of strategic accomplishment, highlighting a lack of planning by the people directing the war and leading the troops (that's you, Mr Secretary)

The House Republican caucus will shift rightward as more moderate members in swing districts lost or retired; the House Democratic caucus will shift to the center as more moderates won in swing districts; this is the normal pattern

My favorite part of the 60 min interview is where Ross asks if the President could refrain from childish insults like "Talafreako" and the President responds by making sure Ross doesn't forget about him coining the phrase "Dumocrats"

MAGA Christianity will end. Historians, and God, will judge whether it had constructive accomplishments that compensate for the dangers to which it contributed. Evangelicals who supported it will decide what replaces it. If they are wise, they will side with historical patience, liberty for all, limited expectations of politics, providential hope, and Christian realism. How they choose will help decide the fate of the nation. @thedispatch

NYT reports on an additional wrinkle to the Nvidia spy scandal.
They found that several of the Chinese companies that the Commerce Department approved to buy H200 Nvidia chips don’t seem to exist or have direct ties to the Chinese military.

Remember that "pollster" that JD Vance called after the midterm disaster?
It was this guy:
In our Vance story:
The prospect of a war with Iran earlier this year was of such a concern to Vance that he reached out personally to Mark Mitchell, then the head of polling at the firm Rasmussen Reports, to add questions related to a war with Iran to a survey.
The results, which were viewed by the Journal, reinforced his belief that the public would be skeptical of military action.
Efforts to persuade Trump to avoid a conflict failed

In this post, I outline case for impeaching Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for his role in perpetrating over 200 murders, and starting an unconstitutional war. I have my issues with Rep. Thomas Massie. But he's absolutely right here: reason.com/volokh/2026/11/08…

Todd Blanche suggests on @CNNSOTU he will investigate Democrats for “threatening” Republicans: “They’re not even in charge now, saying ‘lawyer up.’”
Kash Patel, 2023: “We’re going to come after you.”
Steve Bannon, 2024: “You better lawyer up.”
Mike Davis, 2025: “Lawyer up.”

God cannot be male because God created them male and female in his own image. Both. In his image.

Congrats to the morons, edgelords, galaxy brains, defenders of Bo Vichy-French and "Indian Question" indulgers, who helped to make this possible.
HAPPENING NOW: Absolutely chaotic scene as conservative activists Jake Lang and Thomas Allen storm a Diwali Hindu celebration at the Seattle Center Armory.
They held signs that read, "Deport All Dot Heads" and "Stop Hindu Replacement of Christians."
I just spoke to both men who say they are concerned about American culture being overrun by false idol worshippers and H1-B fraudsters.
Lang and Allen say they will be targeting other locations in the city this weekend.
They have yet to announce details of their plans due to possible retaliation by Antifa and other far-left activists.
Stay tuned.
