Bari Weiss is doing exactly what she was expected to do. Ellison, Bezos, and other oligarchs are not trying to make their media properties profitable. They are turning them into regime media--to make their other properties more profitable.
From the @status.news on Anderson Cooper's decision not to renew his contract at CBS.
"Weiss not only failed to persuade Cooper to grow his footprint at the network, but ultimately helped chase him away from it entirely."

An administrative warrant is signed by THE ICE OFFICIALS CONDUCTING THE SEARCH. It is tantamount to requiring no warrant at all.
A government secret-police agency says "We want to come into your home and seize you. To do that, all we need is a piece of paper saying so, that we ourselves wrote."

I still think the best way to think of the ending of US AID is as the single worst genocide committed by any one US presidential administration.
even given all the horrific things the US has done, it's not really that close. 750k dead already; expected 14 million.

this is exactly why I am absolutely not willing to overlook anyone who was once “advocating for ending USAID” as merely committing a little oopsie-daisy-booboo, by the way
The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.
It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.
Vought is a mass murderer.
