A Washington Post investigation found that in 24 of 32 TV appearances between 2014 and 2016, then-Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard used language from memos written by an alleged cult leader almost verbatim. The memos also directed which legislation she should introduce. She was the Director of National Intelligence.

Jon Favreau walks through the New York Times story by Ken Vogel: David Gentile, who stole more than $1 billion from mostly mom-and-pop investors, had his sentence commuted by Trump less than 2 weeks in. Jailhouse communications reportedly showed Gentile discussing $2 million in payments to secure his freedom, with a retired Catholic priest and Trump inauguration speaker — who had cleaned and photographed Trump's parents' graves as a gift — being the conduit. Trump's own political appointees then killed the early-stage DOJ investigation into how the clemency happened. Jon Lovett argues this is some of the most brazen corruption of the administration, and notes there appears to be daylight between Trump (who may not have known money was changing hands) and the operatives around him who may have been pocketing fees. Tommy says this story directly connects corruption to voter harm and is exactly the kind of message Democrats should be running on. Jon Favreau contemplates whether the next Democratic Congress should pursue impeachment purely as an educational exercise.
Trump blocked the quick confirmation of his own DNI pick, Jay Clayton, to keep Bill Pulte — a corrupt political operative with no intelligence experience — in the acting director seat. A CNN source reported Pulte began carrying out deep-state firings almost immediately upon taking the role.

Ten years ago, 90% of tech media coverage was relentlessly negative and Kalanick felt he couldn't speak freely. Today, the rise of independent podcasters and Elon Musk buying Twitter has fundamentally changed the game — and it's why he's finally willing to talk.
Kay Classman, 28, was arrested for repeatedly posing as a 16-year-old and enrolling in Bronx high schools across multiple districts. She wasn't a predator — just someone so sad and lonely she wanted her lost childhood back. That's somehow sadder.
Disney, Meta, and Paramount have collectively paid Trump roughly $60 million to settle what Galloway calls nuisance lawsuits — all routed to his presidential library. Newsrooms are folding. The White House is handpicking press pool participants. This is what the end of a free press looks like.
One cheap fake documentary made by a teenager in his mother's basement convinced 16% of Americans that 9/11 was an inside job. Social media didn't invent conspiracy — it just gave it a rocket engine.
A progressive organization with a stated mission to destroy Turning Point USA received millions from ActBlue and is now publicly pushing the narrative that TPUSA insiders and Israel murdered Charlie Kirk. Andrew Wilson traced the network of accounts all amplifying the same conspiracy in perfect unison.
The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.
Andrew Wilson publicly offered Candace Owens $300,000 to debate her theory that Israel and TPUSA murdered Charlie Kirk. She refused. He argues that flat-earthers will debate anyone, but Kirk conspiracy theorists won't defend their claims under scrutiny.
Erika Kirk became the CEO of TPUSA while grieving her husband's murder in public, and now faces tens of thousands accusing her of conspiring to kill him. Andrew Wilson calls it mind-boggling psychological torture. The sparklers at the memorial weren't suspicious — they were a grieving widow doing her best in an impossible situation.
Joe Rogan and Andrew Wilson watch a bystander video of the Corey Ruiz police shooting in Madison, Wisconsin live on air. The video is so blurry they initially think a female officer fired the fatal shots. They later learn a male officer did, after Ruiz allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed officers. Their conclusion: you cannot have a hot take on a story you don't understand yet.
