@schiff.senate.gov to effectively convince your constituents that you are serious about protecting our rights and lives, it is imperative that you call for Schumer’s resignation and the ouster of those failures (scapegoats?) who voted yes. Otherwise it’s just posturing.

13/ I wish they had sounded the alarm sooner because the post-liberal takeover of conservatism has been going on for a while. bsky.app/profile/jenn...

6/

5/ “Three Heritage…directors, @LarryArnn of @Hillsdale, Michael Gleba of the Sarah Scaife Foundation, &…@KevinRobertsTX, are trustees of ISI & attended the Friday meeting. None…questioned the judgment of platforming Yarvin” despite “being confronted w/ a long list of damning quotes from Yarvin.”

4/ “This fundamental shift in ISI’s focus was done behind the board’s back. Its new signal program, the podcast Project Cosmos, was dropped on X…on Aug 19, featuring postliberal icon @PatrickDeneen & neo-reactionary @curtis_yarvin… [T]he board was never informed of the existence of Project Cosmos.”

3/ “We urged our fellow trustees to terminate ISI’s current President, @johnnyburtka, who formerly served as executive director of the post-liberal journal @amconmag…” Under Burtka’s leadership ISI now “focuses on…podcasts that introduce audiences to alt-right online personalities…”

2/ “[W]e have fought to preserve ISI’s longstanding mission from falling victim to a post-liberal hijacking. That battle was lost at a board meeting held last Friday, at the conclusion of which we tendered our resignations.”

Patty, please. I’ve voted for you during every election since 2018 but this faux clutching of the pearls today while you were all complicit in abandoning your constituents yesterday is an act that isn’t working this time.

If we’re in a political crisis with this Administration then act like it.
