On the home page, NYT frames it correctly: WaPo fails.

RFK Jr on Tylenol and autism: "It is not proof. We're doing the studies to make the proof."

"Baby in her placenta"

Hoffman wrote one of the best books on CIA in recent decades. A stupid and short-sighted decision.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

It's not looking good for DHS's account of yet another shooting theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I'm originally from Cleveland, and it never felt right saying that I grew up in the Midwest like it was Kansas or Missourri. It's the Great Lakes region, and that's what I call it now.

I really believe that huge majorities of Americans don’t want masked soldiers shooting priests in the street. They don’t want naked children ripped out out of their apartments in the middle of the night and handcuffed. We win by making sure these stories get told.

Picture here is from 1992. LA riots. Ive seen this called bad news judgment. In any real journalism outfit this is more like a firing offense. I basically say such things. Beyond belief.

“Who was president in 2020?” is the question of our time

Hey, couple of quick questions.

First, what year is it? Second, who was president in 2017?

I play bluegrass, and you are not wrong.

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

I don't have the bandwidth to make this case explicit. But today, Todd Bessent put Frank Bisignano in charge of IRS, in addition to Social Security.

Bisignano, at Social Security, gave Big Balls access to all our Social Security data.

Now he's in charge of IRS.

First instance I’ve seen of CBP paramilitaries inserting for one of these urban operations by helicopter (fast-roped from Black Hawks, presumably CBP AMO ones).

Hard to imagine a plausible tactical rationale, but easy to guess another one: this is *great* content for CBP’s aggro recruiting videos.

Don't miss this riveting new piece from @katidoyle.bsky.social and @cldorfman.bsky.social on the DEA intercepts that contain critical information on the 2014 Ayotzinapa student disappearances @nsarchive.bsky.social nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-boo...

I feel like that is important to remember. Because one day a lot of people will distance themselves from this very obvious, very much on the record monopsony and authoritarianism and claim it was all a conservative boogeyman.

I had a liberal centrist — a professional — once tell me that they engage with more diversity at a Bari Weiss dinner party than they do in any mainstream media event.

I mention this because, just as it is true in politics at the moment, some of the calls are coming from inside the house.

Miller’s apparent elevation to shadow president and his seeming intent to declare an end to the constitutional order would, in any other administration, be treated as a executive branch meltdown that was immensely embarrassing for the president and requiring Miller’s immediate removal

Today, I drove an hour and a half with my wife and a couple friends to pick up a neighbor who was summarily, inexplicably arrested by ICE at a check-in ten days ago and then just as inexplicably released, 100 miles from home today. It was a happy occasion, all things considered, but...

Vance is one of the luckiest, least sympathetic people there is, and yet the grievances never stop, nor does his weird insistence that he is somehow personally responsible for every American success story and that ppl should be personally grateful to him for having a good life.
