She was a campaign arm instead of a journalist. Then she withheld information saved for a book deal and continues to withhold information to this day. She hides behind ethics rules when its convenient and cries and hides behind emotional entanglement when the ethic fig leaf is too tattered. Absurd.

Trump was narcoleptic at that thing even when cabinet members spoke directly to him.
Bessent at a New York Times event: "I actually don't read the New York Times anymore ... I read this article -- 'President Trump is slowing down. President Trump's mental capacity' -- it is 100% fake. This is why young people are going to TikTok ... we just had a 3 hour cabinet meeting yesterday!"

I assumed that the gap in time where Halligan sent the court reporter home was to brow beat the GJ into voting a certain way. But it turns out they never reviewed it somehow.

She was writing puff pieces about the guy she was dating who was, in fact, an unhinged weirdo with no business being in charge of public health till June 2024, iirc.
This is humiliating not just for her but @nymag.com who found no evidence of wrongdoing after the face. Y’all did some hackery.

There are no “barely legal” 15 year olds. In most states that’s a “felony” with “strict liability.”
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."
