This is a fair question — “banishment” would mean that after being egregiously wrong and dishonest about the most important crises of the era, the pundit would no longer be paid money for their prognostications, amplified by media outlets, or be considered a credible voice by literally anyone.
Since I'm sure plenty of Bluesky users believe that I am on the list of people who deserve to be banished from public life, I have to say that I'm always curious what this rhetorical trope means exactly.
Through what mechanism would a person be banished?

Wow — John Fetterman has missed a remarkable 30 votes this year, has cancelled town halls, and avoids engaging with voters.
But he did make time to go on a first-class, five-star hotel, all-expenses paid $36,000 trip to Israel to barbecue & hang out with Israeli military and government officials.

‘Fetterman went on to make statements that shocked people. In opposing a cease-fire, he said, “Let’s get back to killing.” A person who heard the conversation told me, “He said, ‘Kill them all.’”’
John Fetterman’s Struggle
The senator insists he is in good health. But staffers past and present say they no longer recognize the man they once knew.

This email, a year ago, from Fetterman’s former chief of staff, and this entire piece from Ben Terris, makes clear that Fetterman should not be serving in the Senate.
Every Senate Democrat should read this and be asked about it - especially Schumer.

An immigration judge within the Trump DOJ has denied bond to Rumeysa Ozturk, saying she’s a “danger and flight risk.”
Her “crime” is cowriting an op-ed urging her school to follow student resolutions to acknowledge the Palestinian genocide & divest from companies tied to Israel.

This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
