with the holidays upon us please enjoy my favorite miss manners column (circa 2002)
DEAR MISS MANNERS: A couple of years ago, my wife and I attended the wedding of two people who had been friends of ours for years. One year ago, the woman left the man for another man. We heard all about it from the man but heard nothing from the woman as we live in separate towns. We received a little Christmas package from the woman who, in her note, made no reference to her infidelity -- an act that considerably affected all who were friends of the pair. I felt instinctively the need to thank her for the gift and card, but I didn't feel as if I should ignore the issue of her leaving her husband. In the end, I wrote a thank-you note and told her what I thought of the situation - not in excoriating terms but in bluntly honest ones. In your opinion, was this boorish? GENTLE READER: Yes. Had you wished to register your disapproval you could have written her a dry letter of thanks; had you wished to register extreme disapproval, you could have returned the present. Miss Manners is afraid that “Thanks, slut," is not a proper communication.

"I’d respect you more if you told me you actually believe in this crap and that’s why you were supporting the bill. But to tell me you don’t believe in this stuff, you think it’s going to hurt your own constituents, and vote for it anyway, that’s moral cowardice."

This is a damning anecdote from Rep Jim McGovern. He tells me that during debate over Trump's big budget bill, House Rs privately admitted to him that it would screw over their own constituents, yet they had to vote for it anyway.

Read all of it. He wrecks them:

During the early days of the pandemic, I saw how the janitors worked tirelessly around the clock to make sure each room was sterilized to prevent the spread of COVID. Some worked 2-3 shifts in a row just to meet the demands of the hospital. I will never forget their hard work and dedication.🙏🏻

We are demanding today that all of the Epstein files be released. We have 212 Democrats and 4 Republicans.

We need just two more signatures to force the release, so we gather here to confront these corrupt forces.

Any Republican brave enough to stand up?

We’re 7 months in, and “Pentagon plans military deployment in Chicago” is a headline in the Washington Post. And because it’s city number three, we’re already numbing to it.

If you read this about any other democracy in the world, you’d conclude that it was well on the road to a dictatorship.

President Donald Trump said Chicago is his next likely target to crack down on urban crime. Military planning has been ongoing for weeks, officials say.

Here is the Priorities document (long thread)

1/n
Dear Colleagues: I am sending this memo to clarify our priorities and ensure efforts to fulfill our mission are aligned across the agency. I want to start by expressing my gratitude for your advice and input thus far, and I look forward to our continued collaboration. I have had the opportunity now to visit labs and meet with teams across the agency, and I am constantly impressed. It is a privilege to work with such a dedicated and talented staff. I recognize that several new initiatives and policies have been implemented in a short period of time, and there has been some confusion due to inaccurate media reports and rumors. Therefore, I have outlined select agency priorities at the end of this note to ensure you have a clearer picture of our rationale and objectives. I do not mean this memo to be an exhaustive list of all agency priorities, but rather a select list of topics that require our particular attention and focus while continuing the other important work you are all doing. This memo will help to ensure NIH supports only high-quality projects selected based on the merit of the science and that are aligned with our mission to generate data that can improve the health of all of the American people. I ask each of you to use this guidance when reviewing your intramural and extramural research portfolios and making decisions about your future programs. In recent weeks, it has come to my attention that some at NIH and in the scientific community believe that there are “banned words” or some level of censorship of science ongoing or planned. This is simply untrue. I have advocated for academic freedom throughout my career, with a particular public focus in the last five years. My position has not changed; scientists must be allowed to pursue their ideas free of censorship or control by others. They must be able to express their scientific opinions and challenge scientific dogma.

One’s golfing, the other’s fishing—while shootings, kidnappings, and disappearances pile up. Their entire existence is built on hate. Pick a group—immigrants, scientists, doctors, LGBTQ, POC—make the majority hate them. Then sit back on the green or the dock and watch the hate they planted grow.

According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.

I’ve prosecuted Trump. I’ve researched him. I’ve devoured every book and article on him.

He is DESPERATE — overreacting because the WSJ articles drew blood and are almost certainly true.

And now he’s botching everything. Suing WSJ? Terrible idea. Releasing Maxwell? Even worse.
