Periodic reminder that the original head of Hillsdale College divorced his first wife to marry his mistress, an employee.
While married to wife #2 he was alleged to have had an affair with his own son’s wife who committed suicide on campus.
They’d prefer you not know all that though.

this is some incredibly stupid damage control
Republican Senator Mike Rounds said Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a call to senators, confirmed the so-called 28-point “peace plan” was actually a Russian wishlist and is “not the administration’s position”. Nor is there any threat to cut off weapons or intelligence to Ukraine.

I think this prediction is holding up pretty well, and maybe I should have noted the failure of the Turn Charlie Kirk Into A Martyr moment might have been the pinnacle of the phenomenon. In some deep way I think the New Right Loser Men fail to understand what state power can and can't do for them.

We have reached one of the more dangerous parts for the coalition, which is Trump is still popular enough internally with the base that you can't break with him, but not breaking with him probably dooms the party in general elections.

Greene's departure represents another political notch in Trump’s belt, the retreat of another would-be Republican rebel. But the defiant nature of her video announcement hinted at the fissures now dividing the president’s movement. Lisa Lerer @reidepstein.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/22/u...

So… Jeff Bezos is definitely in them, right?
The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

I don't want the executive chosen by national plebescite, Elie. I've had about enough of populism and I'd think you would have too. You can fix the proportionality problem with a bigger House, but as a resident of Rhode Island, I will keep my 4 ECs, thank you :)

No it isn't. That's not true.
FYI: Support for Israel is not political; it is who we are as Jews, it is part and parcel of Jewish thought, tradition, belief, and understanding. I regret that so many, including the Mayor-elect of NYC , are so uninformed.

The more Lizza writes the more he indicts himself in serious ethical lapses but there are a lot of editors and publishers who are complicit here, too.
