Back in 2023, MSNBC opinion columnist Cynthia Miller-Idriss wrote that "physical fitness has always been central to the far right," noting Hitler's interest in boxing and jujitsu, and added that "the intersection of extremism and fitness leans into a shared obsession with the male body, training, masculinity, testosterone, strength, and competition."]]>Sat, 14 Nov 2026 18:00:33 -0500<![CDATA[Brett T.]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/11/14/npr-podcast-explains-how-fitness-is-a-tool-of-fascism-n2434416Ken Dilanian: It’s Times Like These You Wish Trump Hadn’t Chased Away So Many FBI Cyber Experts <![CDATA["Fusion" Ken Dilanian of MS NOW has thoughts on the nationwide ground-stop of air traffic on Friday. The last time Dilanian reported on air traffic, it was to let America know that FBI Director Kash Patel had just touched down in Russia, at the same time he was participating in a law enforcement appreciation event at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. We think Dilanian's source for his latest post might be Marjorie Taylor Greene, who says that, obviously, the FAA was the target of a cyberattack.]]>Sat, 14 Nov 2026 17:00:23 -0500<![CDATA[Brett T.]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/11/14/ken-dilanian-its-times-like-these-you-wish-trump-hadnt-chased-away-so-many-fbi-cyber-experts-n2434408Let's Flash Back Exactly 10 Years to the Beginning of SNL's Era of Peak Insufferability<![CDATA[This month we've reached the 10-year anniversary of a few entertaining clips related to what was happening in politics back in 2016.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 14 Nov 2026 16:38:20 -0500<![CDATA[Doug P.]]>https://twitchy.com/dougp/2026/11/14/lets-flash-back-exactly-10-years-to-the-beginning-of-snls-era-of-peak-insufferability-n2434419Bernie Sanders' Rant About the Cost of Homes Just Blew Up in His Socialist Hypocrite Face<![CDATA[Bernie Sanders says he's "fighting the oligarchy" that Donald Trump is trying to turn America into, except, as we learned earlier this year, the Vermont socialist has been serving up the same shtick for literally decades:]]>Sat, 14 Nov 2026 16:15:58 -0500<![CDATA[Doug P.]]>https://twitchy.com/dougp/2026/11/14/bernie-sanders-lecture-about-the-cost-of-homes-just-blew-up-in-his-socialist-hypocrite-face-n2434418NBC News: DeSantis-Backed DEI Law Results in Cancellation of St. Patrick’s Day Parade <![CDATA[According to NBC News, Delray Beach, Florida, has announced that it is scrapping 2027's St. Patrick's Day parade in compliance with an anti-DEI law backed by Gov.

TRUMP’s conservative nominees to District Courts and to fund the Defense Authorization Bill; he also digs into the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, declaring “nobody is more responsible for death today than Vladimir Putin.” Iran-born Pastor SHAHRAM HADIAN raises the alarming comment by Senator-elect ABDUL EL-SAYAD that “Michigan is now the capital of Arab America.” TIM RICE—D.C. bureau chief for The Daily Wire—looks at Congressional leadership changes in both parties, and anticipates a staggering number of Democrats announcing their 2028 candidacies for President in 2028. And TONY PERKINS’ commentary reminds us that “One election does not fundamentally change America, and we must all do our part to pray and preserve our Republic.” All this—and more—coming up on our latest edition of THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL with Tony Perkins, on the Salem Radio Network and Salem News Channel…sponsored by AARP.Sat, 14 Nov 2026 10:18:04 -0500<![CDATA[Twitchy Video]]>https://twitchy.com/videos/2026/11/14/johnsons-message-to-republicans-dont-surrender-american-values-after-election-losses-n2434398Pete Buttigieg's Attempted Brag About HIS Time As Transportation Secretary Isn't Going Well<![CDATA[As you've no doubt already heard, the FAA issued a nationwide ground stop yesterday afternoon for only the second time since 9/11.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 14 Nov 2026 09:19:10 -0500<![CDATA[Doug P.]]>https://twitchy.com/dougp/2026/11/14/pete-buttigiegs-attempted-brag-about-his-time-as-transportation-secretary-isnt-going-well-n2434394Those Longing for Days of No Nationwide FAA Ground Stops Under Pete Buttigieg Hit a Snag<![CDATA[As you've probably heard by now, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a nationwide ground stop over a non-specific communication issue.&nbsp;]]>Fri, 13 Nov 2026 20:04:28 -0500<![CDATA[Doug P.]]>https://twitchy.com/dougp/2026/11/13/those-longing-for-days-of-no-nationwide-faa-ground-stops-under-pete-buttigieg-hit-a-snag-n2434392Trump War Room DESTROYS Chuck' Schumer's Promise to Ban Senate Stock Trading With a BRUTAL Reminder<![CDATA[Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is trying to keep his hopes of being the majority leader next year alive by appeasing as many incoming socialist Democrats as possible.&nbsp;]]>Fri, 13 Nov 2026 16:25:16 -0500<![CDATA[Doug P.]]>https://twitchy.com/dougp/2026/11/13/trump-war-room-sinks-chuck-schumers-promise-to-ban-senate-stock-trading-with-a-brutal-reminder-n2434390Since Chris Van Hollen Thinks He Should Be Senate Leader, Video of Rubio DOG-WALKING HIM Goes Viral<![CDATA[Senator Chris Van Hollen just declared he’s running for Senate Majority Leader, insisting Americans want Democrats to “unrig” an economy stacked against working people.

The plate delivers a blunt anti-police and anti-ATF message that the DMV initially approved before reversing course, and a federal appeals court already ruled that custom plates are protected free speech.&nbsp;]]>Fri, 13 Nov 2026 14:25:00 -0500<![CDATA[Sam J.]]>https://twitchy.com/samj/2026/11/13/dumbest-ag-in-the-country-strikes-again-just-check-out-what-jay-jones-wants-scotus-to-rule-on-n2434383MN Department of Human Services Learns the Hilarious HARD Way X AGREES With Trump on 'Somali-fraud'<![CDATA[Minnesota’s Department of Human Services is having a very bad week after the feds informed it they won’t be reimbursing more than $112 million in Medicaid claims the state already paid out.&nbsp;]]>Fri, 13 Nov 2026 13:55:00 -0500<![CDATA[Sam J.]]>https://twitchy.com/samj/2026/11/13/minnesota-angry-that-feds-wont-force-other-states-to-pay-for-their-fraud-thread-n2434377Hakeem Jeffries Is NOT Enjoying Being in Same Room With His New 'Big Tent' Dem-DSA Friends<![CDATA[When it became clear the Democrat Party was on the verge of being taken over by what was formerly a lunatic fringe socialist movement, current members of Congress like Rep.

John Kennedy brought his signature Southern bluntness to the Senate floor this week, telling fellow Republicans that the midterms delivered a message they need to absorb instead of ignoring. With Democrats poised to seize control after the new year, the Louisiana conservative laid out a simple plan: drop the kid gloves, pay attention to what voters are actually telling them, and get serious about confirming the remaining nominees while the GOP still holds the majority.
