Without anyone saying a word, everyone involved in this episode knew the risks and the safest path forward. They know, instinctively, how to survive in a declining media organization for one more day — please Trump, Weiss, and Ellison, and everyone’s happy. Piss them off and watch out.

It’s been one week since Republicans shut down the government.
And they won’t even show up to work.
Democrats are in D.C., ready to negotiate on a budget that protects your health care and lowers your costs.

An interesting factoid I unearthed today. The NY Times no longer calls Epstein's death a "suicide." An article today said he "died in a Manhattan jail cell." But (a search shows) until July 24, the Times routinely called his death a suicide. Language matters. What changed their editorial policy?
