Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

What we have here is a top editor spiking a story not because of serious editorial concerns, but because:
1) she is insecure and needs to assert authority;
2) she wants to drive serious journalists out of CBS; and
3) she craves attention, which is her oxygen.
Especially number 3

Bari Weiss, cont'd: "I held that story because it wasn't ready. The story presented very powerful testimony of abuse in CECOT, but that testimony has already been reported... The public knows that Venezuelans have been subjected to horrific treatment in this prison... we simply need to do more."

My kids have measles, I lost my job, and I'm going to die because RFK Jr. cancelled the clinical trials that might have cured my cancer. But at least I know there won't be any same-sex couples in the next Frozen movie.

Upset about high prices? You should just ignore it.

Every one of these posts makes me giggle at the very serious pundits who say BlueSky is in a bubble
X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.
The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Tariffs off bananas. Tariffs off coffee. And suddenly the White House wants credit for lowering the cost of living. That’s like unplugging the treadmill you pushed us onto and declaring yourself a fitness guru.

dickerson is one of the best broadcast journalists in the game, and someone who would clearly be a real asset to a new leader interested in strengthening the network's journalism. but, of course, we know weiss isn't actually interested in journalism as such.

To check if a pundit is being honest, ask “would he have made this claim a year ago, before he knew it would be a defense of Trump” and folks, I’m 100% certain Douthat would not have argued “The president needs to demolish the East Wing and build a palace” last year

Scott Bessent is the best of the Trump Cabinet. And he is an idiot and an utter embarrassment
Scott Bessent, Billionaire Boy Genius, wants everyone to know that Ontario only ran that Reagan ad in a dastardly effort to “sway public opinion” in America.
And he sounds like he’s about to cry as he shares this dirty secret.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.
