Those details are from a 1956 biography and are pretty much all wrong. Moore's parents inherited those four enslaved people, but Charles Smith was freed in 1803 and I don't know what happened to Ann, Hester and Thomas but they were all no longer enslaved by the Moores in 1810. 1/2

But there is something Moore neglected to acknowledge in his diatribe: like the president, his family owned slaves. To be fair, Moore did not personally own the slaves -- Thomas, Charles, Ann and Hester -- until he inherited them years later. Yet even then he was in no hurry to emancipate them. In fact, some of Jefferson's slaves were freed before Moore's: the former president emancipated five upon his death in 1826, while Moore's hand was forced a year later when New York state abolished slavery. In his pamphlet, Moore was less out to defeat racism than to defeat the president. Needless to say, he failed on both counts.

Weeknight dinner. I’m using beets and a parsnip instead of potatoes. Because I love beets and because why not.

so here’s the thing, Bari, you’re running an organization full of weapons-grade gossips who hate you www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/b...

Now in a position of power at the network, Ms. Weiss is the one concerned about leaks. She has complained that her comments at private CBS meetings keep turning up in media reports, asking if the company can identify the leakers, according to three people familiar with her remarks.
