Douglas Murray is an ignorant gutter racist and well-funded right-wing tool. The notion that he is some kind of counterpart of Bouie's is a complete joke, which I suppose says it all.

It is remarkable to me that people who are cooking their brains in an algorithmically-driven Nazi bar all day, every day think they’re best positioned to opine on the “echo chambers” of others
To put it charitably: your willful blindness will not age well
Genuinely horrifying
I guess I find it puzzling that someone of your talent and intelligence is choosing to use his platform to prioritize, of all things, tsk tsking people for their Trump Derangement Syndrome. Looks like you haven't commented on anything else in the past 24 hours.
Does this asshole spend any time whatsoever contemplating how he is going to be remembered?

Hi Mike – I'm sorry if I've missed it, but could you please explain why you were calling for your smelling salts as you clutched your pearls over Biden's health last year, but are now dismissing questions about Trump's indisputable & ongoing mental & physical decline?
I'm genuinely losing my mind
starmer is doing all the anti-immigrant and anti-trans "popularism" stuff the centrists are demanding US dems do and this is the predictable result:
Parallels between Trump and AI are endless. Both overpromise, underdeliver. They put people out of jobs. They lie and steal constantly. They think they know way more than they do. Both backed by techbro billionaires. Neither are any fucking good at their job. And everywhere you turn, there they are.
tired: the left needs its own Joe Rogan wired: the left needs its own Laura Loomer Galaxy brain shit.
I'm just going to keep noting that the owner and operator of Twitter -- the social media that too many politicians and pundits use to determine what's "normal" -- keeps on pushing the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory that has been the motivation for multiple mass shootings in this country.
I've been working my way through Adam Curtis's latest documentary – "Shifty" – and this sequence from the first episode is... striking

Fucking pathetic.
"Even in the Israeli media the proposal invited incredulity, with a column in the left-leaning Haaretz describing it as 'a Trumpian get-rich-quick scheme reliant on war crimes, AI and tourism'."
Tony Blair must answer for this – among other things – too.
it's genuinely amazing how many allegedly-serious people do indeed seem to be devoted to the mirage of a "nazi-agnostic lane" in 2025, both on Twitter and in real life. We will remember
Michelle Obama: kids should have healthier school lunches RFK Jr: maybe if we let the plague run wild we can build a master race Media: wow these are the same thing
Was this guy actually compensated for vomiting up this garbage? If we're to stand any kind of a chance at defeating fascism, it's not only incumbent politicians (particularly leadership) who need to be forced off-stage; it's pernicious commentators who churn out bullshit like this.
Very similar dynamic in the UK with Labour leadership
Musk now supporting the deportation of anyone who isn’t white. *Do not* use the term “remigration”. It’s an attempt to normalise Nazi hate.

I had to re-read it more than once to make sure I was comprehending it correctly. This is not a serious person.
Utterly useless.
Regime propaganda
The feigned ambivalence is so fucking pathetic. And will not age well
"James Carville"
I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.
This story gets at the heart of what is so fundamentally and pathetically corrupted in the UK, with no clear way out
Annunziata Rees-Mogg, too, albeit with lower billing. Her father (and Jacob's) wrote the deranged book that is essentially scripture to Yarvin, Thiel, Musk, and the rest of the technofascists, as @gilduran.com explains www.kqed.org/news/1203731...
We truly are cooked
You could write a book about this photo. Everything about it is so fucking vulgar.
Fuck him.
This is step one in how we lose free and fair elections. It’s not that Trump will “cancel” the midterms. It’s just everyone has to vote in person, and urban downtowns will be filled with ICE checkpoints and intimidating National Guard troops to “double check” that only citizens vote.

New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.” Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.

A few more relevant excerpts. These passages touch on interactions between Epstein, Ghislaine, Prince Andrew, and Trump in the 90s. Trump's preexisting ties to shady Robert Maxwell (Ghislaine's father) are also referenced, as is Trump's Miss Universe.
Here is the verbatim – forgive the poor quality of the pics.
![... two-time Oscar-winning actress, played games of virtual tennis on the huge movie screen in the basement. The next night they ate at a neighbourhood restaurant and were told Andrew would be joining them. As one recollected: 'I remember seeing him sitting at a table at the far end with these three young [not underage] blonde girls when we walked in. He immediately got up, I imagined to join us, but instead he said goodbye and left with them in tow. It was all very strange.' Ivan Novikov, Jeffrey Epstein's personal driver, remembered: ''Whenever Andrew was in town I'd be picking up young girls who were essentially prostitutes.' He continued: 'One time I drove Prince Andrew and two young girls around age eighteen to the Gansevoort Hotel in the Meatpacking District. Both girls were doing lines of cocaine. Prince Andrew was making out with one of them.' Epstein's housekeeper, Debra Gale, alleged Andrew's interest in young women: 'One night he took a Swedish girl to his bedroom. They spent the entire night together and most of the next day.' Pressed further, Gale added: 'When the girls would leave Andrew's bedroom I'd give them an envelope Mr Epstein left with anywhere from one to 25 thousand dollars in it. Sending on the girl and the situation.'](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ygatjvmhcry2kd22xnhkemij/bafkreigesgldeigtgl2rtuua5574k43h4pedvmxj2ve5f3g5ngvjhryxam@jpeg "Click to view full size")

Pathetic Trumpist cosplay
We have to start excommunicating these kinds of figures

Trying to bolster your bullshit claims by linking to a piece by the current deputy managing editor of Bari Weiss's Free Press is... not the flex you seem to think it is.
Important piece on German media's role in helping to facilitate Israeli war crimes against Palestinian journalists, including the role of Axel Springer – which owns, among other outlets, Politico.
Tom, I like your cat, but your willful ignorance and/or delusion here is really bleak.

These voters are ill-informed dupes, and the way out of this is going to involve helping them to perceive the idiocy and perniciousness of right-wing lies, rather than pandering to them.
Time for Mayor Pete to head back to McKinsey.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Antony Loewenstein: Israel has killed more journalists in the last 22 months than were killed in the US civil war, WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan combined.
The charitable explanation is that they’re idiots. The more likely explanation is more pernicious
Apart from the pathetic, disqualifying “stance” on Israel, what are Pete and his team of consultants trying to achieve at this point vis-a-vis the facial hair? Complete train wreck, all around
Fuck you.

I think it's really worth noting that this concentration camp was opened one month and three days ago. This woman saw enough horror in that time to quit and tell the public what she saw. Which suggests that it's not as bad as we think, or as bad as we can envision from her description—it's worse.
Andrew Cuomo couldn’t allow his first, tepid recognition of reality — that the Israeli government, with the full support of the Trump administration, is starving the people of Gaza — last more than a few hours without walking it back. This is someone who believes in nothing.
What the fuck?
