They say they don’t need a warrant. Congress could say they do. Time to pass the Fourth Amendment is Not for Sale Act.

The biggest blow to WaPo by far was Bezos’s decision to cut the editorial.
Bezos wouldn’t allow an autopsy of the deficit. Bezos gave Fred Ryan a golden parachute. Bezos installed a Rupert Murdoch lap dog. Bezos decided Opinions would go libertarian. Bezos could save it today with spare change!

When pressed, Patty Stonesifer (our interim publisher) specifically said the Biden-era drop in subscriptions didn’t account for the whole deficit (do the math, it was only a small part), but she would not say anything else about what did.

every news organization in the country experienced a downturn during the Biden years. The Post was particularly badly situated to weather that because they had expanded so rapidly during Trump 1. There isn't a secret plot here
🚨I’ve been saying this 2+ years now: We don’t know WHY WaPo was suddenly hugely unprofitable and started this downturn in 2023, because Jeff Bezos’s friend Patty Stonesifer barred investigation.🚨
It is becoming more and more obvious this was a premeditated murder, long before he cut the editorial.

This cannot be accepted. This is a bullshit move to try and keep the status of the occupation basically unchanged but try and play it off as a compromise
With the immediate removal of 700 federal agents from Minnesota, border czar Tom Homan put the total number of agents remaining in the state at approximately 2,000.
That’s still a dramatic increase from the normal immigration and enforcement staffing in Minnesota of around 150 agents.
