Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

Mika Zibanejad your legacy is on the line for the duration of Trocheck’s injury

the idea that freedom is in our DNA is just a misinterpretation of the fact that we’re a nation of finicky whiners who don’t like to be personally inconvenienced

Here's a neat trick they teach in authoritarianism school: If you purge the people who measure the effects of your policies (BLS, MMWR), you can just claim everything's great, and nobody can prove how much damage you're doing.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms. (Published June)

God I forgot we’re supposed to pretend Marv’s son is a good broadcaster

"My opponent doesn't give a damn about anybody, he made choices that put women and children on the street, and I'll show you" seems like elementary politics, but these days ...

This piece is about how the author thinks Bari is a brilliant journalist, and how people who think otherwise simply have derangement syndrome. About halfway through, the author mentions that Bari, her wife, and her sister are close personal friends.

have said this before but i am very skeptical about weiss’s vaunted charisma

In some ways this is the government now

Baker Mayfield on changing perceptions of him: “Early on in my career it was ‘cocky, immature.’ Now it’s ‘moxie’ and ‘he’s a dog.’ Same sh— different day. As long as you play well, they change the narrative, but you’ve just gotta be yourself, and I’ve always been like that.”

These are genuinely amoral, monstrous people

I'm a prophet?

In a woodcut released today the Guild of Thieves and Cutpurses declared that enforcement of regulations against Thieving and Pursecutting would ‘devastate a growth industry’ and damage the economy.

A lotta folks have been warning for YEARS that govt subsidies encouraging US farmers to invest near-exclusively in two crops (soybeans and corn) could have catastrophic consequences. Most were thinking climate-change implications (making these crops ungrowable) but here’s a self-inflicted one!

J.T. Miller has to still be feeling the effects of that lower body injury, he was a total non-factor

I don't doubt that Trumpism will soon crumble and things will return to a seeming normal. But what worries me is whether we will again make the mistake of offering impunity to these degenerates because if so, we're just waiting around for fascism that sticks.

Don’t want to hear a single Democrat talk about democracy if they aren’t fully in favor of expanding the Supreme Court

"They shut down the government, and we are not going to pay you for it." They are not serious people. They are not politicians. They aren't good at whatever they're trying to do. Once again, if they were smart they could've insulated themselves for 30 years.

very cool that if you are working on behalf of right-wing culture warriors, you no longer need standing to have your claim adjudicated by the supreme court

I wrote about the ascendance of Bari Weiss from a hack columnist to media royalty, and what it means for the future of CBS News.

Ellison's CBS brought on the two editors that got NYT to publish Tom Cotton's 2020 op-ed calling for soldiers to shoot protesters in the streets. Hard to find a clearer editorial throughline than "anyone protesting murder by the state should be killed for it."
