Why I Left the Washington Post Owner Jeff Bezos wants to transform the Opinions section of the paper, where I worked for forty years. After the publisher killed my column disagreeing with that move—it appears here in full—I decided...

6 questions, 3 scotches.

"US criminals" implies American citizens.

This is unconstitutional. Citizens are entitled to rights under the US Constitution. The US Constitution doest exist in El Salvador.

Human and civil rights organizations across the board need to file lawsuits across the country before anyone is sent!

I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.

Well played, President Claudia Sheinbaum, for committing troops already at the border since 2021, knowing perfectly well President Man Baby would have no idea and take it as a win.

And without the 30 day notice required by law. If he can’t be stopped he should at least be slowed down!

Mexico refuses to accept a U.S. deportation flight The Mexican government has criticized President Donald Trump's unilateral immigration actions, and the landing would have required Mexico's assistance.

Good move. These thugs got commutations, not pardons.

You mean @jimacosta.bsky.social, right?

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.

Well, the planet is burning.

Underreported: Elon just picked the head of NASA—a massive conflict-of-interest that will damage a government entity that he partners with, depends on, and in some cases competes with.

I’ve been saying this for decades.

A third of us tried to save two thirds of us from themselves.

They’re about to find out.

Thank you, Marc, for all you do to preserve democracy.

Remember this. We are weaker now. “Trump has groomed us.” Try to hold and speak and advocate what you know is right and true. We’ve already moved so far. Don’t change your standards to accommodate their shameless incompetence & cruelty.

Or, if they don’t, that someone leaks it. It needs to be made public.
