Having lived through this at the Post, these people refuse to say, "I want to make this news outlet more conservative." So we get lots of lip service about new ideas, innovation and reporting. But Bari Weiss runs a website! It breaks very little news, and all of that is anti-left.

think this is mostly right. roger ailes wanted to make money but he was a diehard conservative who was very invested in getting elected republicans elected always. thats why he was so good at what he did. bari has hitched her wagon to the right but she isn't a true believer of the faith.
My sense is that Weiss is a largely non-ideological grifter. Yeah, she's invested (pun intended) in being an Edgy Iconoclast Who Can't Be Classified, but ultimately I think she's just a troll who wants money and prestige.
what bari weiss is doing is bad and dangerous, but as someone who has watched the rw media world for decades now -- weiss is like a discount bargain basement roger ailes. like karl rove, ailes was an evil genius. weiss is a dummy. still dangerous, but a dummy.

Indeed. Senate Dems don't even need to say "abolish ICE." They can do their obnoxious "we need to investigate this, come up with reforms" or whatever.
But there is no good reason to rush to whatever compromise the GOP will accept. Dems have the advantage. Use it. Let the GOP stew in their problems.

the first best Senate ask is to split the DHS funding from the rest of the minibus.
It wrongfoots Republicans, it unites the D caucus, and it becomes more compelling rather than less compelling the longer Rs resist it. plus all the minibus components were negotiated separately anyway
