This is what happens when the FBI is run by two right-wing conspiracy theorist podcasters who spent the last 11 months purging almost anyone with institutional knowledge from the bureau. They're going to keep fucking this kind of thing up.
BREAKING: Authorities will release the person of interest in the Brown University shooting, officials said, as the investigation continues.

This is getting lost: For weeks Trump officials had the option to remove Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica, but refused to do so. Instead they kept trying to send him somewhere more dangerous. Costa Rica wasn't cruel and dehumanizing enough.
This is deeply sick conduct.

Here's a better headline for Axios: "How Trump has normalized racism and racist slurs." Why can't some journalists just call a thing what it is? https://loom.ly/hiKWr58
How Trump flipped America's race conversation
Language that once was disqualifying is now a fixture of national political discourse.

“Critics have likened Mr. Trump’s approach to extortion, while others agree it’s extortion but aren’t critics.”
How did the @nytimes.com editors let this sentence appear?

Today, a story that we’ve spent weeks reporting and editing —because it felt really important — is on Apple News’ top stories.

I’d started to wonder whether the Epstein files were a bit of a macguffin, but no no they implicate the President of the United States in a pedophilia ring—and show the entire Republican Party as well as much of the federal government has been baldly covering it up. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Bad misread to describe the anger at Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats as exclusively “progressive.” I can attest to multiple moderate/centrist types who are livid—because they value rights, law, and democracy, unlike the Appeasement Eight in the Senate—and I’m reasonably confident it’s widespread.

And I've been doing politics for long enough to know clearly that the entire Senate Democratic caucus agreed to this decision to fold. Open your eyes. The 8 who "broke" did so with the complete blessing of Schumer and their colleagues. You don't have to play along because this is not a game. The end
