Questions for my friends at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP: 👉 Are you proud of representing this felon on his criminal appeal? 👉 Why do you think he deserves legal representation when he’s trying to prevent others from getting representation through the corrupt abuse of official power? (1/2)

👉 What are you going to do if—more likely, *when*—he orders his administration to stop obeying court orders, just he’s now ordering it to stop obeying various statutes and constitutional provisions? Will you be proud of having represented the man who will have thus shredded the rule of law? (2/2)

Drunk on power and ketamine. This is Musk and the foreign minister of Poland. This is what I mean about Musk as the "over-mighty subject". His power is too great for anyone else to be fully free.

Ruth was my editor when I contributed to the Post. She’s the best, as a human being and a journalist. I can’t imagine how painful to her the destruction of the institution to which she devoted her amazing career as a reporter, editorial writer, and editor must be. It’s heartbreaking.

“Some experts warn that restrictions on Canadian electricity exports could lead to higher power bills and more brownouts across the continent, owing to the extremely integrated nature of North America’s power grid.”

Ontario imposes 25% surcharge on electricity exports to U.S.
The province used an Electricity Act regulation to make the policy change, and Premier Doug Ford didn’t rule out cutting off all Ontario power headed south of the border

Huge. A towering career at the Post. Ruth Marcus was the acting head of the Opinion section in 2022 (and hired me) — this could have been the person leading it now if Bezos had different priorities.

NEW: Washington Post crisis continues apace. Ruth Marcus, liberal columnist, quits after saying Will Lewis (former Tel editor, now running things there) spiked a column critical of the recent narrowing of oped subjects... Ex-editors in despair. Big crisis in one of world's most important newsrooms.

The measles virus spreads like wildfire, and case counts can quickly explode. One person, on average, infects 12 to 18 others who are susceptible to measles. Therefore, if one patient infects 15 others, who each infects 15 more, 225 cases suddenly result. If each of those people infects 15…

The fact that Ds and Rs came together to stop these anti trans bills in Montana should not be something incredible, but in this political climate it is. These bills are unconstitutional and just pure bigoted nonsense, stoping them is what any rational normal person should do regardless of politics.
