Because of the investigation into Clinton etc he specifically said "whatever they're legally entitled to" to keep his own shit out of it. Literally no other reason to say those words specifically

When you write the whole piece around the idea of “MeToo” as an adequate description of what caused specific men to lose specific positions, and when you do this incredibly weird cutesy business to avoid *mentioning what happened*, you do a disservice to readers.

Apparently they've now changed the headline, but not the subhead or the text of the article. And I've got NYT-pilled friends who are arguing with me and telling me it's not a nostalgia piece. [Bangs head against wall]

Excellent analogy in this thread.
Thought experiment: what do you think would happen if your local police chief announced that henceforth, they would be shifting the majority of their resources to crack down on underage drinking. Three things would logically follow:

Trump is not tough on crime. He reassigns expert law enforcement in areas like child sex trafficking (imagine that) to immigration enforcement where their skills aren’t as relevant, making us more vulnerable to crime

The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

Honestly, this makes me question whatever work @americanprogress.bsky.social is doing. How could they not know what an always-wrong bigot he was long before the Epstein emails came out?!
I refuse to believe that Larry Summers' expertise and skills are indispensable in any way. Please find another economist and policy expert, @americanprogress.bsky.social. There are loads out there.

Love this thread so much! I want these choices for all our cities.
I was approached by a lady outside the gym today while parking my bike. She was likely in her 70s. She had such great questions about the bike and then proceeded to tell me about her ebike.
She told me that she rode over 600 miles on it last year and was so proud of herself. She was so happy.

Even before the Epstein disclosures, nobody should have been listening to or platforming Larry Summers. I don't even know why he calls himself a Democrat.
NEW: Before the recent Epstein disclosures, Larry Summers was poised to lead the economic policy plank for the Democrats' "Project 2029" effort at the Center for American Progress. He signed off on a housing policy paper CAP was prepping for next week.
