The free press v. "The Free Press"

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

In the end, Andrew Cuomo’s long record was a gift to Zohran Mamdani. “What I don’t have in experience, I make up for in integrity—and what you don’t have in integrity, you could never make up for in experience,” Mamdani told Cuomo in a debate.
The Mamdani Era Begins
His opponents tried to smear him for his youth, inexperience, and leftist politics. But New Yorkers didn’t want a hardened political insider to be mayor—they wanted Zohran Mamdani.

Problem for centrist Dems is their entire pitch has been "OK, we offer nothing but *only we* can win elections and defeat Trump" and then they lost 2/3 times to Trump and failed to prosecute or halt him in one time they won. If your pitch is competence and you're incompetent...

Hakeem Jeffries, with his David Cassidy eyes, is simply unsuited for his position. Bring back Jo-Anne Fabrics. He’d be so comfortable and confident amongst the colorful ribbon and soft yarn. He’s not meant for DC. He’s gentle, and lethargic and risk averse. He’d be everyone’s favorite shift leader.
Who said he was old? He’s simply ill suited for a job which requires him to be a decisive leader, a beacon for the future, an exciting and inspiring figurehead or even simply not visibly anhedonic and lethargic, particularly as the face of the party. He’s not old, he just sucks real hard at his job

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.
When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

Great statement.
No “clean CR” exists when Trump defies Congress and unilaterally guts programs—from law enforcement to pediatric cancer research to clean energy projects.
Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.
We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Serious question: has the Fed govt ever arrested so many elected officials in such a short period of time, across multiple cities, and not for legit corruption reasons?
This seems like a distinct degree of anti-democratic escalation.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

We are witnessing a swift and sweeping consolidation of media (traditional and social) into the hands of a small number of billionaires who are actively aligned/aligning (both via free will and coercion) with Trump and his right wing political party. This is (I’ll say it) a fascist project.

This is an honest takeaway:
If Klein believes, as he stated, that he and Kirk were part of the same "project", then we need think deeply about what that project really is.
It's a tremendously revealing piece about where the establishment left thinks it is in modern American political culture.

one sign that the “unitary executive” is less the restoration of an older constitutional order and more the imposition of a radical new one is that allowing the president to act untethered from most legal or congressional limits has largely just served to plunge the country into disorder

There's probably a French word for what I experienced reading his posts today, but this version of Andrew Cuomo is what Trump would've sounded like for the last ten years had people in positions of power shut him out of public life instead of enabling him.
