Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Ford pardoned Nixon. GHWB pardoned the Iran-Contra crew. Clinton pardoned Marc Rich and his half brother. Trump pardoned Steve Bannon, Mike Flynn, Roger Stone, and Charles Fucking Kushner!
Joe Biden pardoning his own son doesn't come close to any of those truly controversial pardons. Get a grip.

Okay. If I'm gonna move in and unpack here on Bluesky, I'm gonna quasi-begin by reposting the story I did at the Atlantic I'm most proud of. Thread:
My brother's roommate, Bobby McIlvaine, was killed on 9/11. They'd lived together since college. Bobby was 26 years old. 1/8
