So, after he raped the first child, he was blackmailed into continuing in the club.

Watching Lindsey Vonn is like watching Steve Carlton from 1986-1988 in a much more violent sport.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.

One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

Maybe he thought it was L'Agence France-Presse also known as AFP.
It's good Tim Scott is calling this out, but one reason Twitter is so nefarious is that neo-Nazi accounts pose as straight news outlets and you wind up unknowingly quote-tweeting literal Nazis.

AF Post stands for America First and is aligned with Nick Fuentes. It's not a real news outlet.

He was the head of Doge at the Post. Once he fucked everything up, he walked out the door. What a disaster for two of the formerly great institutions in Washington, DC: The Post and the federal workforce.
Breaking — Will Lewis out at the Washington Post. He just sent this email to staff (shared with me by staffer):

"What you did was racist."

"Well ... you're fat."

Kind of proves the level of people we're dealing with.

Is this the first time I've ever agreed with Jon Heyman?
@JonHeyman tweeted
Bezos lost $20-plus billion this week with AMZN plummeting (based on public estimates of his holdings). But at least he might have saved $100M or so dismantling/wrecking the Washington Post

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Back at the start of the Trump II administration, it was disorienting to watch powerful law firms preemptively surrender and genuflect before the King

Turns out it was because the people in charge were close friends with Epstein and were worried about getting outed

Interesting connection:
Joe Kernan's daughter is the spokesperson for Susan Collins.
COONS: Joe, it's same rules NYPD follows. Do you see roving bands of NYPD w/ masks using bear spray on people?

KERNEN: You lost the election! That doesn't give you right to shut down govt

He really doesn't want to believe the president is a horrific racist, so he will pray that he the whole thing is fake rather than actually take a position. At least it's obvious what the president thinks of him, if he didn't already.

There's a lot of passive voice in this statement and allowing the possibility that this was somehow a mistake is just outrageous. Even Republicans need to condemn this without caveat or deference.

I can only see two options here:
1) He supports her opponent and knows this will lose her the election
2) His delusions of power are beyond all prior evaluations

Normally it could be both, however in this specific instance, they are mutually exclusive.
What even is this...

Harbor Place is where I first saw Dru Hill perform. They were working at the Fudgery. It was probably 1991. I was watching them for over an hour and almost missed my return bus to high school. They were singing mostly New Edition songs.

She should give up her Grammy because they left Guru from Gang Starr out of their in memoriam segment in 2011. #GangStarrForever #RIPGuru #OneoftheBestYet
GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt (Mo.) said Billie Eilish should give up her Grammy Award after the singer denounced Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during her acceptance speech Sunday.

Actually nothing is Constitutional. Only Trump's whim is Constitutional and he can change that decision from moment to moment. It's the Unitary Executive to the 10,000th power.

Federal workers are not possible, except to murder civilians or peel my grapes.
At some point around page 175, the rule goes off the deep end and starts arguing about whether the civil service is constitutional. I have started writing a longer essay for @lawfaremedia.org on this topic. It's more than I can cover on Bluesky.

Don't think of it as a slide in market value. Think of it as a transfer of wealth from those who joined the Ponzi Scheme later to those who joined at the earlier and have decided they wanted to collect real money from the suckers.
