Grim called me “insane” for saying Democrats shouldn’t recruit candidates with Nazi tattoos and now that I see who he takes seriously, that take makes a lot of sense
Ryan Grim: I think the posse will find a lot useful there.
Steve Bannon: You’re an intrepid reporter, sir, and a voice of truth. Sometimes people love it and sometimes people love it less, but you’re you’re a warrior.
Grim: No doubt about it.
Bannon: Let's welcome on Raw Egg Nationalist!

Rep. Jim Himes after being briefed by Adm. Bradley:
"What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service. You have two individuals in clear distress without any means of locomotion, with a destroyed vessel, who are killed by the United States."

It's time to end DEI and bring back the meritocracy.
Among other things, Bari Weiss' sister is now making appearances on CBS News.
"How embarrassing. Bari’s been Editor-in-Chief for five seconds and has revealed that all she really wants is to be on TV herself. It doesn’t get more toe-curling than this," one network staffer told me about Weiss moderating a CBS town hall with Erika Kirk.

Brilliant..
A fair trade off: extreme weather, species extinction, loss of habitable land, and more disease in exchange for bringing back the Woody. Hooray.
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

There's truth to this. The real "elite" are the people with so much money that they can completely isolate themselves from 99.9% of the population, and have no idea how most people live, what they struggle with, what they want and need, or how they feel about greedy billionaires wrecking the planet.
I think part of What's Going On with billionaires is that the daily friction of interacting with normal people is part of what anchors people to the real world, and once you have enough money to buy your way out of the friction you can knock down a load-bearing column propping up your sanity.

Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."
