In the latest episode of his podcast, Tucker Carlson and his guest go all in on a rambling, incoherent conspiracy theory alleging that Israel, Palantir, and Erika Kirk—not Tyler Robinson—were involved in Charlie Kirk's murder. He also suggests that the attempted assassination of President Trump in Butler, PA was staged.

Let this be a wake-up call for self-respecting Jewish Democrats, especially those from my home state of Michigan, and any other Democrats who would prefer their party not descend into the depths of full-blown Islamoleftism: you are losing your fight. Tonight at the Michigan Democratic Party convention, Jordan Acker—the incumbent Jewish University of Michigan Democratic Regent whose house and car were repeatedly vandalized with antisemitic graffiti by fanatical-left Palestine obsessives—was denied the party's re-endorsement and lost his seat. Instead, they chose Dearborn attorney Amir Makled, who recently praised Hezbollah and the Iranian terror regime. The Corbynization of America's Democratic Party is near complete.

Republicans operate through a relatively weak institutional ecosystem but a strong coalition leader, creating broad ideological latitude within the coalition. Democrats lack a comparable central authority, yet are constrained by a dense network of activist groups, nonprofits, unions, donors, and media institutions that produce much tighter ideological conformity. That institutional structure leaves Democrats with relatively few political entrepreneurs willing to openly challenge activist orthodoxy while remaining proudly Democratic. There are some exceptions, like San Francisco's Daniel Lurie 丹尼爾·羅偉. But as a general rule, Democratic politicians compete over progressive credentials rather than redefining what competent progressive governance should look like. I spoke about this idea—which my Manhattan Institute colleague Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ recently explored on Ezra Klein's podcast—at a UChicago Institute of Politics (IOP) event last night with CNN's Manu Raju, NYC-DSA 🌹 co-chair Grace Mausser, Democratic strategist Caitlin Legacki, and moderated by The New York Times's Jonathan Weisman.

We can appreciate Mitch McConnell's long and storied record of public service while also arguing for transparency and acknowledging that America should avoid further descending into gerontocracy. I discussed this yesterday with Jake Tapper 🦅 & Meghan Hays on CNN's The Lead CNN.

Thomas Massie is going to lose tomorrow. And it’s not going to be because he’s anti-Israel. He’s always been anti-Israel. He’s going to lose because Kentucky has closed primaries—and MAGA Republicans do not like libertarian conspiracy mongers who vote to defund ICE, dox random Americans to insinuate they’re guilty of child rape, and whose super PACs pump out grotesque, low-IQ antisemitic garbage. His brand of slopulist politics may have some appeal among leftists, right-coded pundits who share policy goals with the far-left, and America-haters across the Third World, but not within MAGA.

Here’s the thing about “ugly fuck”-gate. James Talarico actually seems to understand something that the median Democratic comms staffer in Washington clearly does not. If Democrats want to seriously compete in places like Texas, Nebraska, Iowa, Ohio, etc. this cycle, then there is simply no such thing as too much moderation—especially if you’re the kind of Democrat who was recently saying there are six biological sexes, God is nonbinary, being white requires apology, the southern border should be a welcome mat, or campaigns ought to go vegan. Cursing out Stephen Miller doesn’t help them get where they’re ostensibly looking to go.

Stick a fork in Nazi-enthusiast phony Graham Platner. He’ll exit this race imminently. Whether or not lefty activists are willing to admit it, his stepping aside is really a blessing for them, because the Democrat who polls best against Susan Collins is named “Generic Democrat.”

It is very strange to see some on the Left get so upset over this administration’s efforts to beautify the nation’s capital and improve quality of life for the people who live and visit here. As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, we should all be able to agree that the nation’s capital ought to be clean, safe, and beautiful.

My fellow Americans: please try and remember to enjoy this Independence Day weekend. You aren't obliged to be a Trump-worshiping MAGA warrior or an anti-Western DSA nihilist. You certainly don't have to furiously lap up the panic porn about the Reflecting Pool or whatever. You can just have a hot dog and celebrate 250 years of the greatest country on Earth—like most Americans will.

Sounds similar to Hasan Piker taking a victory lap after Kamala lost. You’re seeing this new phenomenon on both the dissident Right and Left where winning and governing no longer really seem to be the goal. The goal is to stoke outrage, crash the system, let things burn, and monetize the chaos. That mindset makes sense for podcasters. Less so for politicians.
