I guess there are upsides to being a billionaire but the big downside is that for some reason you have to go to dinner parties and listen to Bari Weiss, and I would rather die of dysentery

Bari Weiss lives in a fantasy world and her version of CBS News is going to be a total catastrophe, journalistically and financially. I'm looking forward to it!

One good thing about Bari Weiss is that she articulates the worldview of the 0.00001% with total clarity, and thereby makes it obvious that they are dangerously out of their minds.

Just because Trump brought RFK Jr. aboard to firm up the kook vote doesn't mean health writers have to keep looking for some kernel of truth in there somewhere.

absolutely incredible -- CNN host introduces a segment about Trump's "new healthcare proposal," but less than two minutes later breaks into her script to announce "breaking news" that Trump's healthcare proposal is being postponed

What Pam Bondi and Lindsey Halligan did was not incompetence--It was intentional misconduct. They both must be disbarred. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/what-pam-b...

I regret to inform you there is more Olivia Newzzi: the print VF will feature a nude portrait by artist Isabelle Brourman that is also destined for Art Basel Miami Beach. Notably, its inclusion appears be a surprise to VF staff. VF looking worse and worse here. www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

Also weird how opponents of the Mamdani plan have never heard of the Circulators in DC and Baltimore.
Buses have been free in Tucson for years now. City check: still standing.
Well, well, well, imagine this:

Seriously, what other president is even remotely in his league?
There was corruption in the Grant and Harding administrations, but the presidents were largely uninvolved. Nixon committed crimes in secret but didn't really line his own pockets.
Trump is like a Thomas Nast cartoon come to life.

One thing that stands out to me about this story and others like it is that no one will give a quote saying “we do not promote settlements in occupied territories, which violate international law”

Does the BBC think it's improper for a speaker to state their opinion that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history?
Because I think almost all historians would readily agree that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history.
