I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms…

I wish every young journalist a handful of much smarter older journalists who scare the hell out of you and eventually decide that you're worth a little bit of their time and attention. It was one of the genuine privileges of working in an office, with colleagues, five days a week.

Kristi Noem on Abrego Garcia's wife: "Is she still scared? So many people and victims I've worked with over the years, they say one thing in public because they have to to survive or to protect their children. So I wouldn't say that what she's saying today is how she really feels."

14 years ago I pitched what would become Polygon to a startup called Sports Blogs Inc on the unfurnished third floor of a DC townhome. I held a laptop on my knees and went through a deck.
Today that same company -- now called Vox Media -- sold Polygon to Valnet.

I’ve watched enough mafia movies to know that if you’re gonna shakedown a pillar of the community, you do it in private, you make it clear they’re not to tell anyone, maybe you put a couple of your goons on the front door so no one comes in. Because it’s shameful.
