We've reached the point where any time SCOTUS rules against Trump, I'm left shocked.

Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know.
The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.

That Epstein-Larry Nassar letter has fake written all over it -- N. Virginia postmark, after JE's death, in a handwriting that appears not his own
It's hard not to think DOJ WANTED this out there to then be debunked and thus discredit every mention of Trump...

The GOP's transition to a modern Nazi party is pretty well complete.
Ten years ago, those who warned about this were laughed at. This gets more dangerous by the day.
The scariest part is that there are still Jews supporting this.

Nothing makes people want to watch something more than telling them they can't.
Part of me is glad the story broke this way. If 60 Minutes had aired it as scheduled, it probably would never have been shared beyond 60 Minutes. Because Weiss pulled the story, it is now a major topic of national discussion.
This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment.
It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

Calling Bari Weiss a journalist, at this stage of the game, is a real stretch!
One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

President Trump will announce on Monday a new type of large warship he is calling “battleships,” marking a step toward achieving the president’s vision for a new “Golden Fleet.”

I know I keep asking and I'm going to keep asking. Who did those folks vote for?
Biden's labor secretary had a fantastic deal with US Steel and labor unions to build all wind turbines here in the US with unions. That's all out the damned window now.

Anyone needing to be pressured in condemning a Nazi is <checks notes> A NAZI!
Vice President JD Vance has come under mounting pressure to condemn Nick Fuentes, a young podcaster who peddles white supremacist views and antisemitic tropes — underscoring the Republican Party’s divisions over the rise of fringe activists.

Who'd they vote for? Inquiring minds want to know.
What a mess! Wyoming has some of the least competitive ACA markets in the country. In places like Teton County, there has often been only one ACA insurer (Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming). That lack of competition drives prices way up. This is ridiculous.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I for one did not need more evidence.
If you needed more evidence that Bari Weiss isn't the sharpest crayon in the box, the fact that she (a) personally spiked the story (b) in a way that left her fingerprints all over the decision (c) at the last possible minute, thus guaranteeing maximal exposure and blowback.
