This Administration’s policies will spur millions of new infections and deaths from AIDS. Today’s announcement is simply to rub all of our noses in this. It is to say: we know what we’re doing; we don’t care. It is pure sadism. It’s a descent into barbarism once again.

Jeffrey Epstein's newly-publicized emails implicate the entire elite class that he operated in.
"These circles that he moved in, if they have any superpower, it is the ability to hear the cries of people without power and close their ears."

This is one way a media outlet can declare moral bankruptcy.
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

The “big tent” thing was always a transparent rebuke of the growing power of the left inside the Democratic Party.
The mantra also came to embody the problems of the modern party—namely that it doesn’t actually stand for anything.
