If Putin had installed a president completely obedient to him and ordered him to kill the country, nothing would be different from what Trump did this past week.
Lizza is a modern day Scheherazade, staving off the mob baying for his blood by dropping a bombshell cliffhanger once a week.
this fuckin guy ...dropping allegations of journalistic malpractice and source betrayal in separate piece meal events like it’s delicious media gossip and then writing, “we haven’t reached the halfway point, and I haven’t yet described the most bizarre, consequential, and newsworthy events”

So Olivia Nuzzi is clearly a piece of shit who can never work in journalism again after this.
And, also, Ryan Lizza is clearly a piece of shit who should never work in journalism again after this either.
We're all agree on that, right?

For non-lawyers: this is the largest sanction against an attorney for frivolous conduct that I've ever heard of*. When attorneys are sanctioned $10-$20k is a big deal. This is a MASSIVE deal.

Thinking today about how a significant percentage of clients prefer that their lawyers give them bad advice consistent with what they already want to do—even with the negative consequences of the incorrect advice—and a significant percentage of lawyers enable them.

And if a woman’s gonna make it, she's gotta be tough.
I knew I wouldn't be there to help you along.

There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for this to be happening.
I had a baby die in my arms of pertussis some fifty years ago. It was a HORRIBLE death. But my fellow nurses said to me, "It's almost stamped out now, they're all getting the shots, we won't be seeing this again."
HOW THE FUCK ARE WE HERE. 😡

A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:
“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

At Thanksgiving it’s now forbidden to comment on whether people are drinking, how much they’re eating, their bodies, where they are “*really* from,” and their reproductive choices.
And so, at long last, we can converge for the final battle over the correct pronunciation of “pecan.”

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
