Exactly the same thing trump does where he's obsessed with the notion that everyone has been "very unfair" to him despite succeeding wildly beyond what his intellectual limits would suggest is possible. It's pathological & all-consuming; they won't rest until they get the "We All Love You" prize
it requires an absolutely staggering lack of self awareness for chatterton to complain that he has lost elite opportunities because he has anti-woke views.

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."

the quality of work that bari weiss produced at THE FREE PRESS was dogshit-tier bad (even by the standards of right wing slop) but it was a financial success anyway because Substack's right wing owners and other oligarch benefactors heavily promoted it.

Of all the Presidents to be in office during the peak of the unitary executive theory, Trump is the absolute worst.
Axios has learned the White House has begun managing the DOJ's account on X to respond to posts highlighting mentions of Trump in the Epstein files.
In typical administrations, there is a wall between the White House and what is supposed to be an independent Justice Department.

“Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, told the FBI in 2023 that Epstein was murdered in his jail cell because he was about to ‘name names.’ Mark Epstein, 71, who has long believed that his brother was killed, also alleged in the tip that President Trump ‘authorized’ the late sex trafficker’s murder.”
Latest Epstein files name Trump multiple times
In the more than 10,000 files released Tuesday, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, said the sex trafficker was killed because he was going to name co-conspirators.

We know students, like the rest of the world, are using AI. Teachers need to be equipped to deal w/all the issues AI creates. Our approach starts with maximizing safety & privacy and empowering educators to make educational decisions, so AI tools can benefit not harm www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...
AI has become the norm for students. Teachers are playing catch-up.

They couldn’t handle it worse but the biggest problem is that TRUMP WAS DEEPLY INVOLVED WITH EPSTEIN FOR MANY YEARS.
Complaints from Trump loyalists and functionaries working in and close to this administration focused largely on three grievances: 1) the way the Trump administration has handled this since the summer has not only created a massive political scandal for him, but has fueled public suspicions…
We reached out to numerous trump advisers, senior administration officials, others close to trump and in the Republican elite to grade the trump doj’s handling of the Epstein saga from July to today. All but one said F or F minus
Because that one said “F-minus-minus.”
