Musk buying Twitter, as @AdamSerwer points out, lured conservatives into the trap of thinking that X is real life - and they paid for it.

huh?????
Outgoing New Jersey Republican Rep. Jeff Van Drew tells @wildstein he intends to print a new letterhead identifying himself as “Congressman Emeritus” and will continue assisting constituents and local officials who seek his help.
Van Drew added that he will continue raising money, retain his campaign staff and keep his campaign headquarters open as he considers another run.

Private property rights are sacred in Texas, and Big Bend is one of our state's greatest natural treasures.
The Supreme Court has cleared the way for the Trump administration to resume construction of a wasteful border wall that threatens Texas ranchers, their private property, and their livelihoods, all while funneling billions of taxpayer dollars into the pockets of construction corporations.
I stood with the people of Brewster County before Election Day, and as your incoming Agriculture Commissioner, I intend to keep fighting to protect our land, water, and rural communities from this government overreach.
ALT Press release graphic from Texas Agriculture Commissioner-elect Clayton Tucker featuring a photograph of Big Bend's towering cliffs and the Rio Grande at sunset. Clayton Tucker's white campaign logo appears at the top, followed by a large "PRESS RELEASE" heading with a yellow underline. The statement condemns the Supreme Court's decision allowing border wall construction to resume in Big Bend, warning that the project threatens private property rights, ranching families, wildlife, and water access while directing billions in taxpayer dollars to construction corporations. Tucker pledges to work with affected landowners and communities to protect Texas land and hold those responsible accountable.
Having a chief of staff who is gay is not "doing culture war stuff." Caring about a gay chief of staff is "doing culture war stuff." I hope that is helpful.
It did not take long for @RobSandIA to betray his campaign promise that he won’t do culture war stuff. This is his new chief of staff.

Others have made this point. I’m just echoing them. Last Tuesday was the biggest polling error of the 21st century. I don’t think I’ve seen a single story abt “reckonings” for the polling industry. Is polling broken? What did we miss? For general press it’s only an issue if GOP strength is missed.

Food and energy came in hot. But if you exclude that, goods came in hot. But if you exclude that, shelter came in hot. But if you exclude that, the rest of core non-housing services came in hot.
If you exclude that, then, well, there's nothing left. Let's dig in. /1
First press conference in six months. In the midst of a war!
A security agent for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just warned the reporters here — for Hegseth’s first press conference in 6 months — that we will be physically removed from the briefing room if we are not professional and maintain decorum. We asked if that meant no shouted questions and got no clarity. It’s the first time any of us could ever remember being threatened like this. Shouted questions are normal. “This is crazy town” one journalist said, noting the White House has never threatened reporters like that. We’re in the room, back row:

Again: @CBPCommissioner's own data makes it clear there is no "border security" issue in Big Bend that will be solved by a wall or more construction. There have been 3x more illegal crossings in SWANTON BORDER SECTOR WITH CANADA than Big Bend the last three fiscal years.
In a statement, @CBPCommissioner says with today’s Supreme Court decision, the agency is “moving forward with critical border security construction in West Texas” and will soon share details about the “updated plans” for @BigBendNPS.
Pretty obvious to me Trump is not going to put his coalition back together. He was pro-amnesty yesterday, today he's not. He was pro-war yesterday, today it's (again) over. The only real Q is how far he drags other Rs down w/ him before they jump ship. Gonna be a wild 2 years.
.@POTUS: "Iran, militarily, is effectively over. We're just keeping it the status quo... I don't guarantee anything, but if we do have to go back in, we are locked and loaded."
Some Republicans have chosen introspection. Mike Johnson has chosen: "I’m sorry that the voters made the wrong choice."
Asked Speaker Johnson if Trump should course correct after last week’s sweeping losses:
“I’m not going to tell the president how to do his job,” he told me. “I’m sorry that the voters made the wrong choice. I really do believe that this next two years is going to be a bit of a circus. It’s going to be chaos …. and that’s a great tragedy.”
Republicans, he said, would have “stayed on course.”
Devastating news from SCOTUS, which just ruled 8-1 to lift an injunction and allow border wall construction in Big Bend National Park and throughout West Texas. Among other things, SCOTUS notes that the govt is being irreparably harmed by losing money yet it pays no mind to the river guides, hoteliers, hunters, and entire economy built on the river who are going to get destroyed.
Again: There is near-zero illegal immigration in Big Bend. Republicans, Democrats, MAGA, business owners, artists, liberals, etc. all HATE this idea. But the contractors (Trump donors) will make a lot of money, so it's happening! youtube.com/watch?v=dvZTGs70…
Between this and all the influencers like Laura Loomer getting paid to tweet stuff on this website, it is genuinely remarkable that these people keep having any influence at all
Idk. It all feels pretty flaccid. Nobody *actually* thinks these results are nefarious, and it seems like there's a lot of impatience on the right with anyone suggesting these losses were due to fraud and not policy. Even Trump seems to be offering this as an afterthought.
