On a flight back from Las Vegas, I found myself sitting next to a man that decided to watch Fox News on his monitor while also streaming conservative media on his phone. During this time, I couldn't help but pay attention to the parade of lies I saw on both screens, even without audio. It was obvious that this passenger was so far gone that he couldn't function without conservative media being constantly pumped into his brain, and this made me come to unfortunate conclusions.

In an interview that was published this week, Marjorie Taylor Greene admitted that Republicans are going to lose the midterms next year, and the thought of actually gaining any seats is now a distant memory. Greene is continuing her assault on her own Party, but her hatred of her own side aside, she actually has a good point that is rooted in all of the available data - an unusual coincidence for her.

ICE was gifted an additional $170 billion from the "One Big Beautiful Bill" this summer, and they have already gone on a massive spending spree. The spending is mainly focused on weapons, but they aren't just settling for routine cop gear - The agency has gone all out buying military weapons that include "guided missile warheads." ICE is not supposed to be attacking anyone, as their job is to apprehend and detain, but they are clearly aiming to become an extension of Donald Trump's domestic warfare.

Alina Habba is still fighting to keep her job as the temporary US Attorney for New Jersey, and the courts in New Jersey heard her appeal on Monday. There is a lot riding on her success or failure with this case because it could determine whether all of Trump's political prosecutions get immediately thrown out. The prosecutor in Virginia, Lindsey Halligan, is serving under the same circumstances as Habba - so if Habba can't prosecute then neither can Halligan.

It was only a month ago that nearly every conservative pundit and politician was sounding the alarm about the so-called violent and hateful rhetoric from the Left. But they clearly have forgotten how much they hate the meanness, because Karoline Leavitt recently decided to go full fascist during an attack on every Democrat in the country. This is reminiscent of Hillary Clinton's "deplorable" line, which caused conservatives to collectively wet themselves for years after it happened.
