I keep saying this all day. The worst fucking people all find each brother.
So, uh, the Jed Rubenfeld referenced here was disciplined by Yale Law for sexually harassing students. He's married to Amy Chua who among other things took to the pages of the NYT to defend Kavanaugh when he was under fire for sexually harassment. Ken Starr, well we know. This is just incredible.
Ken Starr signed an email to Jeffery Epstein with "hugs"

The New York Times saw Claudine Gay as someone to hold accountable and Jeffrey Epstein as a source to nurture and protect.
What a disgusting newspaper.

About the same time the NYT sat on a scoop tying Trump to Epstein, Maggie Haberman was downright giddy (y'all) about NYT promoting an anti-Hillary Clinton book.

@joshtpm.bsky.social spoke to @columjournreview.bsky.social about why the core relationship in journalism has to be "adversarial," covering Trump II, and remaining an independent outlet.

Roman Catholic bishops in the U.S. chose new leaders on Tuesday. The new president is an archbishop from Oklahoma City who issued a statement two days after President Trump’s inauguration calling on Catholics to remember that Jesus was once a refugee, and to support immigrant families.
Archbishop Paul Coakley Is Picked to Lead American Bishops
“We face a growing worldview that is so often at odds with the Gospel mandate to love thy neighbor,” the group said in a letter to Pope Leo.

If @ossoff.senate.gov called on Schumer to reign, the money he’d raise…..
Here are the at least 6 House Democrats, 3 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 4 Democratic Senate candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

Was the Pitiful 8's desire to remain resolute in their party's #shutdown stance grounded by the specter of flying commercial? Way to go, spineless #democrats 🇺🇸😤
JUST IN: Trump CAVES after we called him out for letting billionaires keep their private jets flying while thousands of commercial flights are canceled.
Yesterday, Secretary Sean Duffy couldn’t answer a simple question from Fox News—and now they’re banning private jets from 12 major airports. (1/5)

Yes if you want to doom this is the reason to me more than the cave. We should have been begging them to kill the filibuster and had a bunch of Dems willing to say if they want to kill your healthcare with 50 votes it’s their prerogative.
i suspect there’s some truth to this and also why we should be EXTREMELY skeptical that senate dems as currently constituted would ditch the filibuster should they ever have a trifecta again
