Under a potential deal, Bari Weiss would serve as an "ideological guide of sorts" at CBS News, according to Puck. (paywall) puck.news/was-colberts-c…
The DNC is doing an autopsy of 2024 election that will ignore anything done by Biden, Harris, or their major advisors: the usual game of deflection at the expense of truth. thenation.com/article/politi…
I talked to @HeerJeet about the billionaires buying the media and the useful idiots—specifically @mtaibbi —who are along for the ride thenation.com/podcast/societ…
Hunter Biden could run as an anti establishment candidate in 2028
Hunter Biden just went off on the Democratic Party: "Fuck him and everybody around him... George Clooney is not a fucking an actor. He's a brand." "James Carville hasn't won a race in 40 fucking years." "David Axelrod had one success in his political life and that was Barack…
I think @michaelbd notes an underappreciated point here: setting aside what the people who are caught deserve or don't in cases like this, *the spouses who were wronged* almost certainly don't want and don't deserve for this to be a national obsession
It’s a very weird event. They don’t deserve the universal infamy, and more importantly neither do their spouses deserve univeralized humiliation. I feel bad for them all. But, the way they were outed- basically a Coldplay Kiss Cam-was itself “innocent.” Which is what has…
Do the editors of the New York Times not realize this makes them look like clowns?
In the past month, NYT has published 32 articles that mention Mamdani/"globalize the intifada", 13 on Israel's fake "aid" agency that's killed 800+, 5 on Israel's starvation campaign & 2 that mention Gaza child amputees. I argue this is objectively insane columnblog.com/p/child-ampute…
This is accurate.
What a joke. This isn’t an autopsy, it’s a fig leaf on the status quo. The overriding goal here is not to seek answers, it’s to avoid making anyone mad - a clear sign of a fundamentally cooked organization.
Right-wing American Christians are more than happy to see Christian civilians, including children, killed if it's on behalf of their imperialist and apocalyptic fantasies. That was already clear under Bush Jr.
This won’t be easy for people to hear, but there are only about 200 professed Catholics still living in Gaza and they all support Hamas.
We sued to unseal the docs that revealed the extent of Epstein & Maxwell’s sex trafficking operation. The lawsuit by Trump opens the door to learning the extent of his friendship with Trump.

Biden’s Team Lied About Gaza. It’s Time to Hold Them Accountable. My piece in @ForeignPolicy foreignpolicy.com/2025/07/18/bid…
You know what, maybe it's not the worst thing in the world for men to be lonely and without friends.
Crazy to think Andrew Johnson is the only impeached President who never flew on Epstein's plane
The QAnon phenomenon rested on two theories: 1) The US elite was filled with monstrously evil people 2) Donald Trump was the one figure who could defeat them. I understood why people believed 1) but never understood falling for for 2).
Niche take, but has some truth.
All fascists are failed cartoonists
That birthday letter I sent to Jeffrey Dahmer saying "will always remember the delightful meals we had together"? People shouldn't read too much into that. There's an innocent explanation.
My "the decision is not related to other matters happening at Paramount" tee-shirt is raising questions already answered on the tee-shirt.
CBS claims that "this is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount."
Another way to put this is that Democrats should be mad at Biden for not releasing this!
The Republican argument has been that Trump couldn’t be incriminated in the Epstein files, because if he was Biden would’ve leaked it during the campaign. Well…
