I'd like to think Bobo was pushed out due to his blatant conflict of interest violation when recently writing about Epstein not being such a big deal. But NYT would never want to ruin a man over youthful indiscretions.
But ramrodding Claudine Gay over her grad dissertation is fair game, amirite?

Since he is working out the settlement himself, this qualifies as an official Presidential act and is therefore not subject to legal scrutiny.
Thanks John Roberts, you bottomless tub of bullshit.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

DO they have mirrors in jail cells?
I would like to know how my prior colleagues, who have chosen to pursue leadership positions under this charlatan, justify ordering agents to break their oaths of office and open investigations on people simply for exercising their legal rights.
Good luck gazing in the mirror when this is all over.

On this day 60 years ago, Frank Sinatra began recording his first and finest live album. It’s timeless, and very much of its time. I love this album, but I’ve also been wrestling with it a bit. Here are the results.

The Trump admin's concern for the well-being of Native populations is touching.
Waltz: "Denmark has ignored Greenland from a defense standpoint and they have ignored the Greenlandic native iniut people ... if you get a cancer diagnosis in Greenland right now, it's darn near a death sentence. Denmark has not invested in the way it should've over the years."

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now
Our government is murdering the citizens of this country. They are doing it without any checks on their violence

Maybe instead of identifying specific ICE agents who do particularly heinous things, we could just penalize everyone who was on payroll at the agency starting by a certain date.

VAN SUSTEREN: The church -- that's a particularly troubling issue because you got a pastor, I purposely didn't name it, he's reportedly associated with ICE
NOEM: Thank you for not naming him. People don't realize that when you keep naming someone over and over, you increase the threats against them
