Yet another example that Bari Weiss is not a real journalist.

A smart party secretary would've allowed the full interview to air on the last night of a holiday weekend when everyone had to get to bed early, posted a few tame Talarico soundbites to distract from his spicy quotes, and moved on.

As an attorney with occasional experience with the Equal Time rule, I can explain what's going on here and how the FCC's Brandon Carr is leveraging his position to force late night and daytime talk show hosts to exclude Democratic candidates.

First I need to explain the Equal Time rule itself. 1/

I don't know whether that suggests the author is biased for or against Green.

Judge to Weigh Next Steps in Student Activist Deportations Case

"In his ruling, Judge Young, who is 85 and has served as a federal judge for over 40 years, described the case as “perhaps the most important” of his career."

1. He wants to
2. It’s plausible he’ll try
3. His people would support it
4. But it’s vastly harder and more complicated than people are suggesting and can’t be done by his fiat

99% chance this is what they mean

None of the DoJ people who have been resigning over the last year are squishy liberals. Many likely would have served willingly in a DoJ run by legitimate, lawful conservatives. But this is an unhinged regime of crooks, sycophants, and morons.

Jacob Frey told ICE agents to get the fuck out of Minneapolis, a hugely popular viral moment, and the media has been browbeating him over it ever since. Trump flipped a guy off and told him fuck you and it’s barely acknowledged.

... has repeatedly insisted that fact checking is, by itself, "censorship" and here we have Jim Jordan repeating the directly. When, what it really shows is how Jim Jordan's threats and pressure are actually *suppressing* fact checking speech.

Fact checking IS NOT AND CANNOT BE "censorship." It is literally the "more speech" that pretend free speech supporters always claim they want. It's more speech weighing in on the accuracy of other speech. It's literally a part of the "marketplace of ideas." Yet, over the last decade, the GOP...

The “Debate Me Bro” Grift: How Trolls Weaponized The Marketplace Of Ideas

Among the attempts to create hagiographic eulogies of Charlie Kirk, I’ve seen more than a few people suggest that Kirk should be respected for being willing to talk to “those who disagree with him” as a sign that he was…

Was it rye bread? Rye bread is too much.

Glad the WSJ didn't rush to report inflammatory claims backed by no evidence whatsoever at an incredibly sensitive time.

So much this. The article itself was pretty brilliant too.

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

Selectively revoking constitutional rights for vulnerable minority groups is a GIGANTIC red flag. The reddest possible flag.

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.

You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’

You don’t ‘run the gambit.’

gamut = entire range or series

gauntlet = severe trial

Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy
