Summers/Epstein + Nuzzi/RFK/Lizza has done more than anything else to help me understand why elites have capitulated to fascism while normal ppl haven't. After decades of hot air from elites/their institutions about freedom, democracy, equality etc, they reveal they have no beliefs or morals at all

Squigs vs ball (ignore Sprout going SPROUT every 5 seconds 😅)

a young woman who signed up to serve her community and our narcissistic, despotic president decided to use her as a prop for his ego

75 is killing me with that look

omg those feet 🥰

yep. also really can't overstate how much nuzzi is very much the product of an environment that rewards amoral ambition and frowns on people who sincerely believe anything

also, it seems to be an accepted journalistic practice to know things of vital public interest and not to publish them until it is too late for the public to act on them; the way Lizza is an outlier is that he wasn't holding onto it for a book but for a substack trashing his ex

Access journalism has got to die. Anonymous source rules have to go back to being only for the vulnerable. Cover how politicians are delivering/not delivering for the public or GTFO
