If any of the allegations are true, Nuzzi covering for RFK Jr. directly played a role in the gutting of America's public health infrastructure, the defenestrating of the CDC and the promotion of the lie that vaccines causing autism.
If the Nuzzi blast radius doesn't impact both the new editor of VF and the NYT profiler, then something wrong. Holy shit.

Saint Nick was based on Nicholas, bishop of Bari, an early Christian saint who gave gifts to people in secret, usually as a way to have done a good deed. The name Santa clause is a bastardization of Sinterklaas, a Germanic form of Saint Nick. It’s very Christian.

This story is infuriating. The bloodthirst so many in this country have is horrifying. And to know Chris Duncan was finally exonerated was deeply moving and brought tear to my eyes.
After 30 years in prison and 25 years on Louisiana's death row, Chris Duncan walked out of Angola today a free man.
"I'm cruising down a highway," he texted me. "Most glaring emotion is shock."

it's pretty galling to invite a pathological liar on your show and allow him to slander a fellow female journalist completely unchecked—and then publish it. jacqueline sweet is a damn good reporter who published a lot of major stories about santos. this sucks.
George Santos denies being a loyalist, denies being sycophantic, denies even liking the framing of the question, and yet can’t put his finger on why Trump freed him of all of the people begging for a commutation.

In the US, Catholic sisters return Wisconsin land to Ojibwe tribe in a historic first. The Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration have transferred a lakefront property to the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa for the same $30,000 they paid in 1966.
