As I said going into that interview, Norah O’Donnell is a very weak journalist. Reporting says she’s trying to use Bari Weiss’s hiring to increase her own influence at CBS News.

Soft secession. Blue states building parallel systems, withholding cooperation, and creating facts on the ground that render federal authority meaningless within their borders.

“Without state cooperation, much of the federal government’s agenda becomes unenforceable.”
It’s Time for Americans to Start Talking About “Soft Secession”
Blue states are finally learning what red states have known all along: you don’t need federal permission to govern.

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

as always, I am just a simple country journalist but I would say it's not a good sign for your law-enforcement efforts if they are greeted everywhere by people who hate you, call you cowards, alert their community to your presence, and so on

I saw a Cuomo ad last night that was basically "if there's another 9/11, we need a mayor with experience like Andrew Cuomo," and it made me wonder, wait, what was Andrew Cuomo doing on 9/11?

Well, he was probably preoccupied with damage control for this:

nypost.com/2001/09/10/p...
PROBE RIPS ANDY IN $130M HUD MESS By Deborah Orin Published Sep. 10, 2001, 4:00 a.m. ET WASHINGTON – Federal watchdogs today will testify that Andrew Cuomo’s “lax oversight” let crooks loot a housing program for the poor that will now cost taxpayers $130 million to bail out. At issue is Cuomo’s role as Bill Clinton’s secretary of Housing and Urban Development and his pet home-ownership program for the poor, which collapsed in scandal. Today’s bipartisan congressional hearing was called by Rep. Sue Kelly (R-Westchester), with Reps. Charles Rangel (D-Harlem) – who backs Cuomo’s gubernatorial rival Carl McCall – and Felix Grucci (R-L.I.) also expected. “Decisions made during [Cuomo’s] tenure opened up this program to widespread fraud and abuse while the concerns of federal investigators were ignored,” Kelly said. The program was supposed to help poor people fix up housing. But instead, it left tenants stuck in 719 homes – including almost 200 Harlem brownstones – that are mostly a mess, in foreclosure and, in some cases, without heat.

The FDA's top drug regulator claims retaliation:

George Tidmarsh abruptly resigned after officials began reviewing "serious concerns about his personal conduct."

Tidmarsh claimed a "toxic environment" at the FDA and said the review was retaliation for warnings about politics trumping science.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.

They’re refusing.

Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.

Starvation as a policy choice.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Congressman Joseph Neguse serving as the U.S. representative for Colorado's 2nd district put the Government Shutdown into perfect perspective. His statement here should resonate with American's from all walks of life.
