Hi! Allow me to reintroduce myself.

I'm an investigative reporter, author, and former White House correspondent.

I cover Trump, the broader far right, and the Democratic Party's internal dynamics.

I also verify people on Bluesky.

This guy could literally be setting himself up for life as ambassador to Saudi Arabia. He has already shown no shame about taking favors from Trump.

Instead, he is fighting a series of weird personal battles and vendettas. Just a deeply weird guy.

It's still kind of crazy to me how much he goes on the offensive instead of just trying to do a Homer-Simpson-backing-into-the-shrubs and get out of there without being indicted on the state analogs to the federal charges Trump had them drop.

This is beyond crazy - including how the next reporter from WCBS just moved on to another topic.

Yes, you can hide from man but not your conscience
You eat the bread of sorrow
Drink the wine of violence
Allow yourself to be conquered by the serpent
Why did you disobey the first commandment
~ Buju Banton, 1995

Murderer, blood is on your shoulder.

Kill me today, you cannot kill I tomorrow.

Isn't the whole Wall Street narrative that guys like Steve Cohen are extremely smart masters of the universe?

If you don't adjust for inflation I am thinking they may be the team with the highest payroll to miss the playoffs ever?

One thing I can enjoy is that the 2025 Mets are the team with the highest payroll to ever miss the playoffs in the history of the new format.

I did a nice thing once.

This guy was a rockstar and still is.

Jake Lahut @jakelahut.writes.news · 1d

Yes: @hunterw.bsky.social noticed my questions on the Pete Buttigieg campaign bus in late 2019, and alerted @anthonylfisher.bsky.social to my existence. That led to an introduction via Twitter DMs, and that's how I got my first job in a national newsroom

I always try to link to original work but not like manipulative discourse bait

Geoff Buchan @rotovalue.com · 1d

Usually linking to the original source is gpod! But I can also understand not wanting to drive traffic to that site,

DC pundits are not-so-quietly rehabbing Halperin. Here's Rachael Bade (until recently big name at Politico) and Marc Caputo (Trump whisperer at Axios) having a good time on his podcast:

I was today years old when I realized Bari Weiss' website has been quietly rehabbing Mark Halperin. He's gonna do great on her "debate" show. Can't wait to find out if he thinks MeToo might have gone too far. www.thefp.com/p/mark-halpe...
