If the NYT told the story of the homeless teenager exploited by Matt Gaetz with even half as much empathy as it tells the story of Olivia Nuzzi, it would be in danger of committing journalism.

"taking jobs from Americans" really gives away the game. This guy just hates immigrants and thinks they don't belong here, and can be treated as sub-humans.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels.
10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C
20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C
So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.

P.S. I really, really, really, really want to know who else in the national media establishment knew what Epstein et al was up to and helped cover it up or stayed quiet.
We need a media industry cleansing post-haste of perverted enablers. It didn’t happen with Weinstein, but it needs to happen now.

Reading the advice emails released today show “journalist” Michael Wolff gave Epstein about how to use Trump actions to control him and thinking about all the media men and women who’ve covered for predators. I touched on that horrific reality in below essay.
Re-upping my Epstein essay from August as new information emerges today.
Caution: disturbing descriptions of my and others’ sexual assaults.
Release all the damn files. This is the ultimate test of this nation’s useless partisanship.

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’
It was originally ‘ekename.’
‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”
Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.
Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

Signature matching is junk science that has been used to disenfranchise lawful voters. It’s shameful that Democratic controlled states still use this. Voters should not have to spend time correcting the states mistakes or risk having their legal votes tossed out.
Maybe you forgot to sign your ballot, or your signature didn't quite match the one on record. If you received a signature challenge letter and have questions, we have a web page for that.

Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Not just Democratic moderates frankly. There are a range of pols who think the ticket to success is to tell voters that the Democratic Party sucks shit every chance they get and then turn around & wonder why the Democratic Party has such low favorables with voters
She'll win tomorrow and that's a good thing. On most policy issues she's basically fine. But Democratic moderates really need to figure out that making voters hate their party is bad for the party and bad for them personally. It's just terrible strategy.
