You don’t have to like Nuzzi or approve of her conduct to understand that Lizza’s choice to publish the material that he is publishing is meant to sexually humiliate her in public in retaliation for disappointing him romantically. The term for that is revenge porn.

Congress wrote into the law that someone who overstays a visa while applying for asylum is not considered to be accruing “unlawful presence,” but it didn’t explicitly say those people couldn’t be arrested and detained — because it was presumed that they wouldn’t be. Well, Trump is doing it.

That detail also hit me hard. And her comment on it—yuck!

Girl on Girl brought back a lot of memories of this era that I had tried to repress!!

I wish I could unsee this

Noooo not Dwight 😭😭😭😭

In April 2009, the Washington Post asked 10 writers to make the case for something that deserves to be tossed out as part of "spring cleaning."

I chose Larry Summers.

Better late than never.

Unlocked version of my 16-year-old article below.

to have an affair with one longshot presidential candidate twice your age that you’re profiling may be regarded as a misfortune; to have two looks like carelessness

Thanks for that reply! I was just thinking how annoying it was for me to comment without reading…I’ll do that

I love reading analysis of children’s media but it’s hard to feel motivated to read someone dunking on Ms. Rachel in these times, and I also don’t know anyone who would replace reading to their children with turning on YouTube—is there not room for both?

Not that I believe really anything Nuzzi writes, given her record, but the far bigger scandal here is her claim that RFK Jr. was still actively using psychedelics last year, then became HHS secretary in an admin that is killing people for smuggling recreational drugs.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Excellent strategy. I’ve been rewatching the Jamie Ross seasons, she’s the GOAT

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but I did not know this.

Why??

Progressive group MoveOn calls on Schumer to step aside "Inexplicably, some Senate Democrats, under Leader Schumer's watch, decided to surrender."

#GVerse MoveOn calls for Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov to step down from leadership.

“Around 80% of MoveOn members that the group surveyed said that Schumer should quit his leadership position.”

It is time to let someone else take the wheel & lead!

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.

I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

What in the world?

At a certain point you have to conclude that the Democrats agree with the Republicans that they are contemptible and illegitimate, and don’t deserve to govern.

Are we really supposed to believe you didn’t support this compromise? Are we really supposed to believe that this compromise is going to protect our healthcare?

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

In the first Trump term GOP Senator John McCain saved the ACA with a "thumbs down" while dying of cancer. These Democrats need to be permanently known as those that are killing the ACA. Trump will be crowing about his win after this because of those spineless Democrats.

How dare you give up? Shame on you! Shame shame! This is an absolute betrayal of the American people. Wrong wrong wrong

How dare you senator? Shame on you. Shame shame shame.

Will there be sanctions for these senators? Any other consequences??

God the number of times I have been through this with the same damned bus of clowns in the senate. They need to go.

I can’t believe you have done this. So much suffering for nothing. Shame on you! Shame shame shame!!
