New in PN: Lindsey Halligan's humiliation continues apace
"After discovering — too late! — that you have to tell reporters beforehand if you want conversations to be off the record, Halligan now finds herself attempting to prosecute 2 high profile cases on the 'rocket docket.' It’s not going well."

I'm so tired of the need to center MAGA feelings everywhere. The Fuck Your Feelings Crowd needs theirs catered to constantly. Why don't some of these fucking stories center on my fears for my student debt, health (cancer survivor!), Hispanic sister and newborn niece growing up in this shit hole?

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries.
When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom.

Rep. Michael Rulli: "The Democratic Party... your rhetoric needs to be toned down... when Joe Biden was in office, we listened, we watched, and we spoke, but we spoke fluently and we didn't speak with this hate... you tried to kill our president twice.
