This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

I can't believe the voters gave this guy control again. It's a self-own for the ages. And a curse upon all humanity.

It's only “DEI” if it comes from liberal coastal cities. Otherwise it's just sparkling white supremacy.

The Immigration Act of 1924 helped keep out Italian immigrants, who were considered non-white. Dino Paul Crocetti changed his name to Dean Martin for his career. Frank Sinatra refused to change his name. Here he is reminding kids what it means to be accepting of differences…and not act like Nazis.

So in spring, Pam Bondi said there was nothing to the Epstein investigation, then “closed” it. Now, they “find” 1 million more docs.

So did she close this without seeing these docs? Or was someone hiding them?

You’re both right in the sense that they believe only white evangelicals are “true Americans” & everyone else are unfaithful corruptions to their ideological christian-nation delusion of “American tradition” in a romanticized golden-age past that never was

Bari Weiss sends an email to CBS staff defending her spiking of a story that made Trump look bad. She claims her action got lots of attention because it was "a slow news week."
Um, the news week wasn't slow. Her move got attention because Americans don't like CBS turning into state-controlled media.
Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."

One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

To me, the Christmas message is that we should care for the needy and vulnerable. I don't understand people who think it means we should smash the car windows of immigrants, tear-gas neighborhoods and zip-tie children.
May federal agents lose their masks and find their souls.
