crazy that one of the most storied institutions in american journalism is going to be run by two people with basically no experience to do it

Pensacola native!

OK, they're using the calculator at americanscovered.org.

For #LA04 (and all of the examples) it looks like they're assuming the couple are 60 yrs old & are enrolled in a Silver Plan, which is fine; that would indeed give $542/mo for 2025.

However, again, $82,800 is only 391% FPL next year.

White collar(ish) defendants typically appear in federal court in response to a summons. Arresting on a warrant in this case would be just for show.

I'll be trying to live-blog the 1pm ET hearing in Oregon v Trump for @lawfaremedia.org , filling in for @annabower.bsky.social (who is listening but driving). Oregon & Portland are seeking a TRO to block deployment of 200 national guard troops Secy Hegseth ordered sent on 9/28. ...

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

Finally, a major media outlet will be headed by a true free speech warrior who got her start trying to get her professors fired

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil.

The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage.

Call your right wing Senator and ask them why they're pushing to increase their constituents healthcare prices so much.

Wait: so the President of the United States shared a video of a fake news report, rooted in a conspiracy theory, that features an AI-generated version of himself promoting a policy that…doesn’t exist?

OK. The #Klein + #Remnick lovefest in @newyorker.com is a bridge too far. If I could ask Klein a few questions. Dear Ezra, you suggest that you are still "community" with the far-right, even as many see that as impossible at the moment. 1/

In October 2007. when the New York Post reported that Epstein was preparing a guilty plea, one of his many friends at Harvard University got in touch. I read the newspapers early this morning,' the neurologist Mark Tramo wrote to one of Epstein's assistants. "Please remind him that bovs from The Bronx (even if they end up at Harvard) have long memories, know all about cops, and stay true to their friends through thick and thin (no less peccadilloes). Tramo, who is currently listed as an adjunct professor at University of California at Los Angeles, didn't respond to multiple messages seeking comment

🚨 EXPLOSIVE NEW report based on the 18K emails @business obtained from Jeffrey Epstein's personal Yahoo account: new details about the academics, attorneys and media specialists who helped him—in different ways and to varying degrees

How Can We Live Together? - Boston Review Ezra Klein is wrong: shame is essential.

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply."

We will all be left to say, “I get the pope, but Gary f*cking Busey?”

According to WaPo’s termination letter my post referencing Kirk’s views on Black women was not even brought up.

The Post’s stated reasons are *worse*.

Read the termination letter for yourself.

If Tom Homan did nothing wrong, the Department of Justice should have no issue releasing the Homan files and the video of the alleged bribery to clear this up.

And while they’re at it, go ahead and release the Epstein files and clear Trump’s name.

Shouldn’t be hard!

As far as I can tell the Trump Administration’s stance is that he took $50,000 in cash for totally innocent reasons and that thinking otherwise is deep state nonsense.

No, it’s not plausible.

Betting Disney sets Tom Wambgans up to take the fall.

Megyn Kelly: “We haven't felt like ourselves since Obama. He was such a slick snake…He was so divisive in his messaging...He’s the one who started to inject race when no one had been doing it… Obama is the reason Trump came about. They say ‘Trump is divisive’. He’s the antidote, the answer to the divisiveness of Obama.”

I can't see how this ends well, I really can't. She knows what she says is bullshit. She's just saying this to perform for her audience.

We are dominated now by some kind of "I know you are but what am I" cartoon post-modernism and I don't see a way out.

Judge Chutkan has scheduled an emergency telephonic hearing for 3pm in D.A. v. Noem.

So now that the MSM and the right has decided it's not in their interest to flog this story can we talk about those tens of thousands of Epstein emails that Bloomberg published this week?

The way the mainstream media is treating Charlie Kirk’s bigotry is the way a highly dysfunctional family treats racist crazy pedo grandpa. “Oh come on, that’s just how he is, he doesn’t mean It, that doesn’t count.”

I wrote this story because the case of the Guatemalan children hasn’t received nearly as much media attention as it deserves.

I wanted to highlight the full extent of the government’s depraved conduct.

I hope you’ll read and share. Don’t look away.

Leaving aside his contempt for taking domestic violence seriously, please remember that DHS has repeatedly argued that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a dangerous menace to the nation because of allegations of domestic violence.

Is it not a crime? Or is it a crime so serious it merit deportation?
