In Bari Weiss' Free Press, Olivia Reingold reported from El-Sayed's watch party that "there were keffiyehs as far as the eye could see ... keffiyehs on heads, keffiyehs as belts, keffiyeh-printed phone cases." Not a single one made it into images from Reuters, a local ABC station, or Detroit News.

FWIW, both of VDARE’s founders were on the masthead of the National Review in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Peter Brimelow was also a staffer for Senator Orrin Hatch. This white nationalist thread has been present in the conservative movement for a long time. Screenshot is from 1997.

SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know

And this is also producing negative value. We've lost lives, prestige and probably the Strait of Hormuz. Dumping $50B in the ocean would have been a more worthwhile venture.

I see three quick takeaways here: 1) Polling is off a lot these days 2) A lot of media really never want to see the left win 3) It is never a good idea to close out a campaign boasting about how well you're doing. Bad for turnout and narrative.

The problem with the Politico piece this morning is that is feels absurd to cover an apparent victory with a “not the night they wanted” headline. Still, there is truth in the point below. A very close race was unexpected and that complicates things for anyone watching the race for deeper signals.

After the Ethics Committee released its brutal report on Chuck Edwards on Monday, his campaign said the findings “exonerated” him, which was ridiculous. This morning, at 3:32 am, he dropped his re-election bid, but said he’s not resigning. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

GOP’s Chuck Edwards abandons re-election campaign following Ethics Committee report

“After much prayer and reflection, I’ve decided to withdraw from my re-election campaign,” the congressman said. “I will complete my current term.”

After @kylec.bsky.social raised alarms about this antisemitic AI image, the official who posted it doubled down and said it was "cartoon devil horns." Colorado's GOP gubernatorial candidate approvingly amplified the graphic showing horns on his Jewish rival. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/colorad...

‘How many people do you need to kill before you’ve violated a ceasefire? One, surely. But … how about more than 1,200? That’s how many Palestinians Israel has killed in Gaza since agreeing to an ostensible ceasefire with Hamas in October.’ @barrymalone.bsky.social via @middle-east-eye.bsky.social

Israel is not 'testing' its ceasefires. It's violating them

As the Israeli military ignores deals in Gaza and Lebanon and continues its industrial-scale killing, the western media turns a blind eye
