You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

Yes, It’s Fascism
Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Charlie Kirk was not a “free speech activist” and any outlet that tells you he was is lying to you. He wanted unlimited freedom for himself and as little as possible for the people he hated, ie anyone who wasn’t a white male conservative. His values were trash

Oof. The Dems need to stop pretending, based on some imaginary focus group, that there’s some common ground with Trump. The key is to fight everywhere. You should go study Neville Chamberlain’s attempt at “common ground.” It didn’t end well for his historical reputation. Or the world.

Karl Marx, Malcolm X, Hannah Arendt, Frederick Douglass, and Emilio Zapata all got married, and obviously I'm not comparing the Double-T brand to them, but I am saying anyone who thinks marriage turns all people into conservatives should also ask what tank rolled over their cranium recently.

As some of you know, I am an absolute, unapologetic Janeite. She is the master. The worst Austen would do to any adversary would put them in an excruciating 10-page conversation, with a spirited but clumsy younger sister playing on a musical instrument, before a final cutting, devastating silence.

Part of the problem is that the NYT tries to put a second-day headline on a breaking news story. It happened just a few hours ago! There's nothing wrong with a hed like "FBI Raids Home of John Bolton, a Fierce Critic of the President"

I used to live in a 1960s council flat where the previous resident had meticulously stuck leaded lights strips to all the aluminium sliding windows. Despite their great effort, the flat was still unlikely to be mistaken for an Elizabethan cottage. But it didn’t look quite as tragic as this

Mamdani: I would say that for the former governor to have spent an entire day speaking almost exclusively about me and barely about the New Yorkers who have been killed is indicative of the very politics New Yorkers want to leave in the past.

Unsolicted writing advice, no. 1161: CONTRACTS. If you're a with a trad publisher, you should receive a publishing contract. You should have the chance to look at this with the help of an agent or other professional, to make sure that it's in your best interests to sign it. Don't sign if it isn't.
