Bari Weiss has woven a rich tapestry of mediocrity.
Bari Weiss’ two accomplishments so far are hosting an interview that she desperately wanted people to watch (but they didn’t) and trying to spike a news story that she desperately wanted nobody to watch (but they did)

REMINDER TO PEOPLE WHO CALL THEMSELVES JOURNALISTS:

The Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) was amended by the GOP under Trump 45. Eliminating the individual mandate was like drilling a hole in your car’s gas tank. They own this.

Omitting this fact when reporting/interviewing is malpractice, IMO.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

In WaPo today JB Pritzker is in the picture. Bezos is not. Must be an oversight…

Selective “enforcement” of “law” is simply the absence of law. When only political enemies are coerced by government force, the rule of law has ended.

It is time for American Conservatives and Liberals who treasure our Constitutional order to speak clearly and plainly.
our press team asked if I wanted to be included in a media advisory about trump's national guard dictator behavior. No clue if they'll actually dare to use what I sent them, but I'm just going to say how it is

Until we pass a nationwide ban on gerrymandering (which we need), Democrats should gerrymander every state to the fullest extent. 52-0 in CA, 17-0 in IL, and so on. No more unilateral disarmament. Time to get serious about fighting back.

Will everyone quit and roll over? The law firms, media companies, universities, government employees. Will you all cling to what you have and hope you can just ride it out, Republic be damned? Shame on all of you who don’t stand up, just remember we will never forget.
