I sat down with @chris_eubanks96 and talked to him about his storybook run at Wimbledon, his mindset going into US Open, and how his mentors showed his path forward was possible.

Chris Eubanks is on to the second round at the US Open.
After his first round win at the Open last year, Eubanks said it lifted a burden off his shoulders. “I told friends of mine, ‘Alright, now I actually feel like a pro.’”

Updates headline: TPUSA still has a groyper problem. rightwingwatch.org/post/turn…
Hey @basedbrandt why'd you delete this pic from last week's @TPUSA student conference? Is it because it shows leaders of @uscollegegop, the new national GOP student group, hanging out with leaders of Nick Fuentes' rabidly antisemitic & white nationalist groyper movement?
Surprise, surprise... College Republicans United is excitedly welcoming white nationalist Nick Fuentes as a headliner at their national convention.

Last year, the Arizona State University chapter of College Republicans United invited to campus Jared Taylor—a white nationalist known for presenting racism and eugenics with a “pseudo-academic polish." rightwingwatch.org/post/stud…

Stewart Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers, was sentenced to 18 years in prison Thursday for his role in the January 6 attack. Journalist Kristen Doerer, who covers right-wing extremism, calls it a "very substantial win for democracy."
This is literally what the AF movement is trying to do. Get young men in with misogyny, add the white nationalism, and make authoritarianism the answer.

Standard Republican positions:
1) Mass shootings are a mental health problem, not a guns problem
2) It should be more difficult to access mental health treatment through Medicaid, which is too generous.

Here's a from-the-street report by @k2doe looking at the role of the #ProudBoys in one of the so-called 'Stop the Steal' rallies/marches just weeks before the January 6 siege. rightwingwatch.org/post/viol…
Shouldn't be shocking for the guy that peddled the racist great replacement theory on air i don't know how many of hundreds of times, but man...
My favorite part of this is that both the Heritage Foundation and Liz Crokin think Carlson is a truth-teller. And Crokin is a Pizzagate enthusiast.

In recent election cycles, Republicans have pressed their luck by nominating unelectable extremists in competitive contests.
North Carolina's Mark Robinson is poised to become a striking example of the phenomenon. on.msnbc.com/40DUDJ8

Morning! There is so much to say about the Fox settlement!
My first response, and this is important: This should not become an excuse for the rest of the press to backlide into treating Fox as legit news again.
