The thing about “they don’t think they’ll have to win an election again” is some do believe it, and are operating as if it’s true, but they are wrong.
They also think the only reason it looks like anyone disagrees
with them is radical Maoists captured all institutions and forced people to pretend.

part of the reason i've got such contempt for the doomerism around "they don't think they'll have to win an election again" is that this belief — which i agree some of them hold — critically endangers the entire project, it doesn't strengthen it. they are incapable of shifting strategy or pivoting.
it is actually a major fucking political problem for this administration that they have key decision makers who believe the GOP will never have to win a fair election again

Best definition of friendship there is.
Will I tell you I think you're a dipshit when you do something fucked up?
Yep.
Will I complain that you're a dipshit, to your face?
Yep.
Will I help you out of your predicament, up to and including cooking the body?
Yep.
Will I call you a dickcheese while cooking that body?
Guaranteed.

In 2021, I founded Our Tallahassee with Bob Lotane to provide an alternative news source to the useless Tallahassee Democrat. We broke stories about the Chamber of Commerce and the extremism of our police chief and caught a lot of grief doing it. Bob died today. He was a good man. I miss him.

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

We need to have serious conversations about 1/ nuzzi was never, ever a “genius” or “unusually talented writer”, 2/ the DC press corps is highly problematic

Her terror (and the terror of entire communities, forced into hiding) is not incidental.
It is a product they are manufacturing, a key part of the spectacle for their intended audience.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

You've known for a year that she had a sexual relationship with a source and lied about it to her previous employer. She admits in her book—which VF excerpted—that she helped RFK Jr's campaign! Amateur hour not to investigate any of this before hiring her.

"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.
