Opinion | Jack Smith’s lawfare and James Comey’s arraignment on pathetically weak charges Good people will be deterred from public service if they see a meaningful risk of winding up in jail afterward.

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

If you'd like to delight in a side-by-side comparison, here's Bari Weiss' reported note to CBS staffers (left) and the one I cooked up on ChatGPT with a quickly dashed-off prompt (right). Looking forward to hearing from you in the days and weeks ahead!

Today, Oct.2nd, is the anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder by Saudi agents.

A critique of pure stupidity: understanding Trump 2.0 If the first term of Donald Trump provoked anxiety over the fate of objective knowledge, the second has led to claims we live in a world-historical age of stupid, accelerated by big tech. But might th...

Fired prosecutor Mike Ben’Ary is a rock solid experienced AUSA and accuser Julie Kelly is a consistently wrong pro-Jan 6er.

Really good piece. Appalling work by NBC

exactly like the Chinese surveillance state

Pushback works
Complying doesn’t

Cracker Barrel Outrage Was Almost Certainly Driven by Bots, Researchers Say Doesn't that make more sense than lots of people caring about Cracker Barrel?

Karen Attiah, a Washington Post opinion writer fired this month for her social media posts about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, has filed a grievance arguing that she should have been allowed to share her views on news events under the company’s labor agreement and social media policy.

Scientist behind Trump’s Tylenol claims was paid $150K to give evidence against drug maker The Harvard academic Andrea Baccarelli gave an ‘unreliable’ testimony on the links between autism and paracetamol, and produced research that raises ‘serious concerns about bias’

In no way is that a waste of money.

Yes, he added some lamb meatballs and declared it “delicious!”

‘Based on what I feel’: Trump escalates attack on childhood vaccines Trump promoted long-debunked claims that vaccines can cause autism as he called for changes to the childhood immunization schedule sought by anti-vaccine activists.

Trump’s attack on vaccines yesterday — delivered from the White House — “was the most dangerously irresponsible press conference in the realm of public health in American history” @pauloffit.bsky.social told us.

Trump Administration Wields Its Full Toolbox to Bring Media to Heel

New York Times: "Trump Administration Wields Its Full Toolbox to Bring Media to Heel." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/b...

AP: “Trump’s moves against the media mirror approaches by authoritarian leaders to silence dissent.”

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

WATCH: Important coverage from the Center for Media and Democracy about the repression journalists are facing from local and federal law enforcement simply for doing their jobs. ⬇️

1/ OK, so here's a thought. I think the loons in the Trump administration are so sealed in their own bubble of weirdness and conspiracy that they are DRAMATICALLY overestimating the public's appetite for their nonsense. I mean dramatically. People want lower food prices, health care, jobs and calm.

This is quickly mushrooming into a real international incident

I’ve been to a lot of football stadiums and Lambeau Field is the loudest. Great game experience, except for Commanders stinking up the place.

Every signature in Jeffrey Epstein's birthday book was real except for Donald Trump's, which was forged. Just like every Republican victory in 2020 was real but Donald Trump's loss was rigged. Why is that so hard for the Left to understand?

The first pop song ever written about Trump sex trafficking underage girls at the Plaza Hotel in the 1990s.

Protest music aimed at educating the public.

Appeals Court Upholds Carroll’s $83 Million Judgment Against Trump The judges rejected President Trump’s argument that the Supreme Court’s decision extending presidential immunity should shield him from liability for defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll.

Breaking News: A court upheld E. Jean Carroll’s $83.3 million defamation judgment against President Trump after she accused him of rape.

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.

May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Thread. Makes sense
