Why assume CBS under the Ellisons aims to make money, rather than sees financial losses as an acceptable price to advance political goals, like the Washington Post under Bezos or RT?

They have decided to bench Cal Raleigh for being too irresistable to women watching across the country.

They were all too busy moaning about how nobody was talking about how Biden was old.

This!

Blumenthal to Bondi: "He has been transparent. In fact, 5 days before the indictment of Comey, he put this post up as instructions to you. He didn't mince words. He was very open & public that you should indict Comey and&others because they are 'guilty as hell, no more delay, now.' 5 days before"

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

It's amazing how everyone supporting her seems to forget she wasn't cancelled at all. She quit. And almost immediately was able to launch this new publication. How the hell was she cancelled?

Some people criticized shitty takes. That's not being cancelled.

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

Matt Yglesias QT'ing Corey Walker I didn’t rejoice at her cancellation and got cancelled myself at roughly the same time, but I am sincerely jealous that no regime-aligned billionaire has even fit to curry favor with the Trump administration by giving me a huge sum of money. https://x.com/mattyglesias/status/1975375120123478491 Quote Corey Walker @CoreyWriting · 16h The vitriol against Bari Weiss is just thinly-veiled jealousy by people who rejoiced at "cancelling" her in 2020 and are furious she managed to get fabulously wealthy in an infamously brutal and low-paying industry.

As one of the countless people *actually* cancelled by Bari Weiss, via her vast favor-trading networks of fellow nepotistic gatekeepers in media and publishing, I think both of these asinine dipshits should go fuck themselves.

(2)Each employee of the United States Government or of a District of Columbia public employer furloughed as a result of a covered lapse in appropriations shall be paid for the period of the lapse in appropriations, and each excepted employee who is required to perform work during a covered lapse in appropriations shall be paid for such work, at the employee’s standard rate of pay, at the earliest date possible after the lapse in appropriations ends, regardless of scheduled pay dates, and subject to the enactment of appropriations Acts ending the lapse.

It's black letter, can't get more explicit, printed in US code you ignoramus. 31 U.S. Code § 1341 (c)(2)

*JOHNSON: SOME LEGAL ANAYLYSTS DON'T BELIEVE IN SHUTDOWN BACKPAY

Setting aside the fact that her comments are untrue or at best are representative of a very small number of protesters, its completely fucking irrelevant. Government agents should be held to a higher standard than civilians.

at this point you have to acknowledge that there is no way that these guys don't try to mess with the 2026 midterms. there is absolutely no respect for the legitimacy of the opposition

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

Dude is an absolute lunatic.

How the hell did CNN brass ever sign off on this?

This isn't surprising. The majority of people who live in Montgomery County oppose these opt-outs, which is precisely why the law didn't allow for them to begin with. The Supreme Court overturned the democratic majority here, but it can't change the social dynamics at play underneath.

This guy sounds like a fucking lunatic.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

the thing about the “official antifa” citation is that it is just definitive evidence that she’s a stone cold dumbass

Does she know the Super Bowl is a private event and wouldn't even need to subject itself to any official language?

Wait, purging the publication of some of the best columnists in the country and replacing them with hacks to produce right wing slop isn't a solid business model? Maybe someone should tell Larry Ellison before he makes a huge mistake....

Supreme Court to decide if states may ban attempts to ‘convert’ gay and transgender youth | CNN Politics Matt Salmon remembers getting into a circle with the other teenagers in his group therapy session and shouting obscenities at a gay boy forced to stand in the middle.

The Supreme Court is poised to overturn 32 state bans on conversion therapy and explicitly legalize the abusive and torturous process.

They don't care how many LGBTQ people this traumatizes and kills.

The End Of Non-Sequitur Politics Let's have more politics about the thing itself.

Dems need to "embolden the pro-democracy movement, demoralize MAGA, create a template for future conflict, and—crucially—change facts on the ground."

Read @brianbeutler.bsky.social on the strategy Dems need now (cites my interview with Sen Chris Murphy as model):

Remember when Bari Weiss quit her job at the New York Times so she could pretend she was being cancelled?

We really need to retire "contrarian" as a descriptor for Weiss immediately.

The reason she is getting this job right now is because of her *non-contrarian* sensibilities.

She espouses views that the US's current power structure likes.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

"Contrarian"

wrote this line yesterday:

"If President Trump were, in other words, trying to instigate some kind of national divorce, it is hard to imagine what he would be doing differently than this."
