As calls to expel Cory Mills from Congress increase, check out this profile we published of Mills based on interviews with 18 people who've known him. As one man who served with Mills in the Army told me: "I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Tonight, Trump claimed that he ended eight wars during his time in office. But the president is far from antiwar. As @eamonwhalen.bsky.social writes, "Under Trump, the wars will continue—from Chicago to Caracas. It’s not a reckless adventure; it’s all part of the plan. Until Trump says it isn’t."

Donald Trump was never antiwar

MAGA's critique of globalism always left room for conflict.

Nick Fuentes spent half a decade hounding Charlie Kirk for being insufficiently reactionary. As @eamonwhalen.bsky.social points out, the play worked: the Groypers have dragged Turning Point further to the right, without much resistance.

For @fastcompany.com I wrote about how Nick Fuentes has exposed a fracture in MAGA, how he reflects a new generation raised in a wholly different media and political environment, and how condemnations from the right are far too little, far too late. www.fastcompany.com/91447399/nic...

Nick Fuentes's mastery of the online far-right has fractured the MAGA movement

Large tech platforms have played a crucial role in his rise.

According to Richard V. Reeves, American society is failing to address the needs of men and boys. Are his solutions the flip side of feminism—or just another form of backlash?
