Bari Weiss's Free Press website ran this screed by Matt Taibbi defending his lawsuit against a book author.

But the Free Press apparently never reached out to the author. Even though Weiss spiked that 60 Minutes piece for not reaching out to enough Trump officials www.thefp.com/p/matt-taibb...
Matt Taibbi: To Protect Free Speech, I’m Suing the Man Who Defamed Me
There’s a difference between censorship, which prevents speech, and seeking restitution for a harmful lie already in print. That's why I'm suing the man who defamed me, writes Matt Taibbi.

Food | The fall of a Latin leader calls for spicy. While the formation of a Trump-chosen panel to now lead a hobbled nation beckons the bubbly. What will be your perfect paring while watching it all unfold? Try these arepas picantes with a simple splash of champán.

My kids have measles, I lost my job, and the price of gas is about to go up again. But at least now there won't be any songs in Spanish in the next Disney movie.

Whether it's Elon Musk creating sexually explicit pictures of children with AI or Barack Obama wearing a tan suit to a press conference, leaders on both sides have presented the public with disturbing tableaux.

Obama was hounded over Jeremiah Wright but the media can’t be bothered with this guy
Always remember that this guy, pro-Nazi antisemitic neo-monarchist Curtis Yarvin, is one of JD Vance's core influences.
Curtis Yarvin has written a very long screed in defense of his post in which he said, “Hitler spoke the truth.”

A sampling of select portions is below and includes, in reference to Jewish people, the words:

“The only way to tell is the name and the nose.”

Every major physicians' group says that children need to be vaccinated for measles and rubella. But Sierra Worthington-Park, who runs a healing crystals shop in Tiburon and usually votes Democratic, isn't so sure.

The overwhelming majority of American pediatricians say that children should receive vaccines for flu, rotavirus, and RSV. But this Grok AI result pulled up by an HHS employee says otherwise. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Since Zohran Mamdani took office, the US has conducted an illegal invasion of Venezuela, bellicosely threatened to do the same in Greenland, and launched proceedings against Sen. Mark Kelly for exercising his First Amendment rights. At what point does the Left admit it made a grievous mistake?

We wanted to know what will happen next in Venezuela. So we talked to three oil executives at a Fogo de Chão in Houston.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.

“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

Donald Trump's attack on vaccinations puts my immunologically compromised toddler at risk for several life-threatening diseases. But I also found some inaccuracies on Heather Cox Richardson's Substack. I have never felt more politically homeless.

‪My IARP (Invasions Over Replacement President) predicts that Donald Trump will overthrow between two and three additional governments between now and 2028. And I tell you the place to get arepas in Jackson Heights. All that and more in the next Silver Bulletin.

I asked my MAGA cab driver what he thought of the Venezuelan invasion. He said he couldn't answer without first knowing: 1) Do the libs love it or hate it? 2) Was anyone involved trans?
