It is an aside in this piece but that what Douthat calls "Bill Clinton's neoliberal center" might suggest that the 1990s were a period of political consensus, which is very far from the truth, and understates the degree to which the GOP depicted Clinton as a radical. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/o...

From an official government account: "Womp womp." It is not just that we are ruled by morons, but our tax dollars are paying the salaries of morons who possess the emotional capacity of a Doberman in heat. x.com/DHSgov/statu...

Mark Wolf, a federal judge appointed by Reagan, is resigning after 40 years on the bench. In an essay published by The Atlantic this week, he wrote, “The White House’s assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out. Silence, for me, is now intolerable.”

can the Roberts Court stop Trump's lawlessness? "There’s no universe in which John is thinking, ‘I want to please Trump,' " a former colleague tells me. But "there may be no set of institutional rules against someone whose character is what [Trump’s] is.” zeteo.com/p/trump-supr...

Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently. This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

Blanche didn’t ask Maxwell a single question about any of these emails. Then he moved her to Club Fed where she is served individual meals and has a puppy and numerous other special privileges while she prepares her clemency petition. WHY?

"John Roberts is presiding over the end of the rule of law in America,” retired conservative judge J. Michael Luttig tells me. "The damage to the Constitution and to America...is irreparable." my @zeteo_news column please read, share and subscribe zeteo.com/p/trump-supr...

This editorial I wrote for @usatoday.com has been on my bulletin board since it was published Jan. 19, 2021. I don't usually notice it, but I just did because of the outrageous SNAP saga. "Biden holds out promise for duller days ahead — steady, professional, and aligned with American values."

They weren't terrorists. They weren't cartel members. They had no fentanyl. And they weren't coming here. They were transporting cocaine. To Trinidad. Most importantly, they were human beings. And they were murdered. By the government of the United States of America.

So Tom Emmer’s rap is to just walk out there every single day in front of the press and call Democrats communists and terrorists. How creative, interesting, thoughtful and original. Seems to be working so well, too.

This NYT story about how Mamdani dealt with the opposition by the city's elites fails to mention one particular elite institution: The NYT editorial page, which last June railed against him as "uniquely unsuited to the city’s challenges... lacks political savvy" www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/n... 1/

Imagine having a kid in this daycare who watches as their teacher is bodily dragged away by masked goons.

This is how a real President is supposed to act

Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night. He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.
