This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

Bari Weiss speaks about wanting to have "contentious disagreements" on news stories
But Sharyn Alfonsi said that when she found out Weiss was killing the 60 Minutes story about CECOT, Weiss refused to discuss it
That's not honest journalism
It's catering to a political agenda

Pretty amazing.
While leading “Columbians for Academic Freedom,” Bari Weiss sought to get pro-Palestine Columbia professors fired.
While leading “The Free Press,” Weiss is spiking stories to cover for a president who’s sought to get pro-Palestine Columbia students deported.

So the sources “risked their lives” to speak with 60 Minutes about this concentration camp we’re sending random people to, and Bari killed the story because the Trump administration refused an interview. Am I missing something??
CBS News postponed a "60 Minutes" segment Sunday because it lacked a Trump admin interview, per an email we obtained from correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, who said the decision by EIC Bari Weiss gave the White House a "kill switch." with @liamjscott.bsky.social

I have never, once in my career, heard of a news org responding to a decline-to-comment with, “Well, we’ll hold it until you do.”
The reason is obvious — it gives the subject of your story a pocket veto.

BREAKING: Nicki Minaj says Donald Trump is not only an “amazing role model” but also “handsome and dashing.” Let that sink in.
One of the biggest pop stars on the planet is openly praising a man who has destroyed every standard of decency. She’s completely unhinged and delusional.

The Abundance movement often points to environmental groups as the obstacles to building. But who actually files the lawsuits blocking projects? It’s not environmental groups. It’s been lawyered-up HOAs protecting property values all along. Regulation by litigation is the problem.

If the US suddenly got taken over by a cabal of YIMBY urbanists so powerful that they were able to ban single family homes and build tens of millions of apartments to more than double effective US urban densities, you’d still have a country less dense than France, which has identical birth rates.

Recall that, during the same era, the FBI also failed to act on reports from young female gymnasts that they were being sexually assaulted by their doctor at Michigan State.
The discounting of girls’ reports of assault by prominent men is widespread & rarely examined.

Since his appointment, RFK Jr. has pursued a brutal vision of American health that several experts liken to a sort of eugenics. Kennedy has made it clear that certain deaths are acceptable or even preferable to a world where every child is vaccinated.

Your reminder that the Purcell "principle" is "it is always too close to the next election for a ruling that would benefit Democrats, and it is never too close to the next election for a ruling that would benefit Republicans"
A question we got from a reader:
“How can they say it’s ’too close to the election’ to make changes in Texas when the new maps themselves were just drawn!? Isn’t that ‘too close to the election’ too?”

Just in: Florida's supreme court today has UPHELD a recent state law that enables juries to sentence someone to death nonunanimously.
Bolts reported on FL's law a few years ago, amid huge concern that nonunanimous convictions have a high error rate, & are likelier to sideline Black jurors.

Do you remember how, in mid-2025, we reported that Dems failed to file any challenger to a staunchly pro-ICE GOP sheriff in a swing city of southern Virginia?
Then, a month later, Dems actually endorsed the sheriff as a write-in against the man who beat him in GOP primary:
