Bari Weiss is simply doing a bad job of running a news organization and we should laugh at her failure. She wasn’t supposed to kill CBS, any idiot could do that, she was supposed to do The Free Press on a larger scale and people don’t like it.

Here's a story on Hale-Cusanelli's chummy ties with Ed Martin, which is one of about 10 reasons he's exceedingly likely to be at the top of the Terrorist Slush Fund list. And if you're not already following @tomdreisbach.bsky.social, he follows the Jan6ers closely. www.npr.org/2025/05/01/n...

Fuhrman was a dirty, racist cop. But people can surprise you. In the early 2000s he went to Oklahoma to interview cops and prosecutors for a book celebrating the death penalty. He was so appalled at what he saw that he changed his mind. He wrote a book condemning the death penalty instead.

TX Judge O'Connor is going to war with RI Judge McElroy over DOJ subpoenas for trans kids' medical records. She quashed the subpoenas. He orders the RI hospital to comply, and orders them not to seek relief in any venue but NDTX, Fifth Circuit, or SCOTUS. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The party whose brand used to be small government and states' rights is using a Texas judge to go after patients and doctors in Rhode Island.

Maybe it's just me but I have the funny feeling that yesterday's Christian nationalist rally in DC was way more antisemitic than a bunch of college students concerned about human rights in Gaza www.washingtonpost.com/religion/202...

Christian nationalists reject the Enlightenment including the unassailable observation that mixing religion and government ends up with a lot of religious people being persecuted.

I don't have a photo of the Bond I would pick. I don't think there's even any fan art of him. Alan Furst's S. Kolb would be the Bond the world deserves. "A bald little man with a fringe of hair, glasses, a sparse mustache, a tired suit, walking a bicycle through the immaculate streets —
