You shouldn’t take any moral stands but instead do whatever is popular. All you need is perfect foresight to know what the popularity of that issue will be when you actually run for office. Like Hillary Clinton knowing Iraq War support would always be viewed positively.

It’s journo-shaming: Her lack of integrity was the problem, not the nudes

OPINION THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN Give Trump the Nobel for Gaza, if He Does the Hard Parts to Come Oct. 9, 2025, 9:10 p.m. ET

When you’ve completely run out of op-ed ideas.

More than that. "The FBI ***recorded*** Tom Homan taking the money "after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration."

The backlash against the essential 1619 Project was a canary in the coal mine for the censorship of curriculum, books, and Black academics happening with increasing frequency today. Importance weekend listening.

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt.

Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

THIS is the kind of order judges should be issuing against performative complaints.

as someone who is a hater, i accept and welcome the fact that i have haters. what is good for the goose, etc. in fact, i think people in this business should be more open about their hating. if we think our words matter, then we should feel some kind of way about people who do bad work.

Can Jimmy Kimmel sue Brendan Carr, or other federal actors, for violating his First Amendment rights by coercing ABC to suspend his show, and maybe eventually to fire him?

To teal deer it, yes, but without an effective remedy.

This story is not getting the attention it deserves in fact it should be so shocking that it took over the CK story at this point.

However, you would be hard pressed to find more than a couple people who even know what happened

The liberal outfit that goes back to liberal fundamentals will win.

That doesn't mean tacking to the center; it means emphasizing liberty interests against the emerging authoritarian regime, and NOT giving it what it wants.

We are point where … Karl Rove and … John “Torture Memo” Yoo feel compelled to loudly and publicly denounce MAGA overreach (louder, honestly, than many Dem leaders).

I don’t know what it means: things are abt to get really bad? Or proof of fatal overreach?

But either way, it’s just wild.

Charlie Kirk tweet at 905am on 9/6, it’s a link to an axios article about biden pardons

Sorry I don’t know the traditions that well, but doesn’t observing the Sabbath make it impossible to tweet in the time period between Friday evening to Saturday evening?

One pretty foolproof way to know your government is fascist is when your government tries to punish you for calling it fascist.

Here's a scenario that someone should ask RFK Jr. about: an under-65 person with no major health conditions who is providing some in-person support for an older family member undergoing treatments that weaken the immune system. Can that person get a COVID shot?

It's me, and I can't.

2002: “all of this talk about saddam really suggests the administration is hoping to build support for a war”

2025:

The Conservative Media Ecosystem Is Coddling Amy Coney Barrett Nothing says “I am not a partisan hack” like kicking off your book tour in conversation with Bari Weiss.

In my view, Amy Coney Barrett kicking off her book tour by doing a sold-out event with Bari Weiss and publishing an exclusive excerpt in The Free Press should end the "Supreme Court justices are not motivated by ideology" discourse once and for all ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

Inside the Crisis Gripping New Jersey’s Federal Courts

I spent the last several days wandering around federal courthouses in NJ to see how a judicial ruling, which concluded Alina Habba had no authority to be the state’s top prosecutor, was affecting criminal cases.

>> Here’s what I saw and heard. w/ @jonesieman.bsky.social

Let's say this "Alcatraz" held 1,000 people a day for the 55 days it was open (it usually didn't hold that many).

And let's say it cost $220 million to build and take down (it likely cost more.)

That works out to $4,000 per detainee per day. bsky.app/profile/bgru...

Trump threatening to deploy the military to Chicago and NYC.

No snark, no sarcasm:

Dear @nytimes.com, @nbcnews.com, @npr.org, @apnews.com, @cbsnews.com:

New York City crime has hit literal historic lows. Our city has never been safer.

Please—please, honestly please—don’t whitewash this.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT CRIME.

It’s abt imposing fear. That is the TRUTH.

Few movements have so thoroughly discredited themselves so quickly through the actions of their leaders and most famous adherents as effective altruism

Silicon Valley Is Panicking About Zohran Mamdani. NYC’s Tech Scene Is Not New York City tech leaders aren’t rattled by the prospect of a Mayor Mamdani. In fact, many of them welcome it.

i will never not be amused by how the conservative world is governed by the kind of “affirmative action” they say happens in mainstream institutions. totally unqualified dipshits are handed the keys to institutions because they say the right thing and have the right look.

sometimes a conservative will be like "i was ostracized in campus social life for my conservative views" when the reality is that there is an entire official social structure for conservative students called "fraternities and sororities"

"open secret at Harvard Law School easiest way to impressive clerkships is join the Federalist Society and pretend to be conservative because so few intelligent right wingers in legal world
