Steve-O Voice: “I’m the Republican Party and, uh, once again this is ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’”
I once called myself the most likely to break Wilt Chamberlain’s NBA single game scoring record. What went wrong?

“The only newsroom that I'm interested in running is one staffed with marks who are not up on my bullshit.”
During today's editorial call, Bari Weiss doubled down on pulling the CECOT segment while lashing out at Sharyn Alfonsi:

"The only newsroom that I'm interested in running is one where we are able to have contentious disagreements about the thorniest and editorial matters, and do so with respect."

I sort of doubt taxing the rich will cause me to like Mitt Romney, but there’s no harm in giving it a go.

In a just world the name “Bozell” would be unmentionable outside an educational context.

The Gil Ozeri segment on this week’s @cbbworld.bsky.social holiday special made me laugh harder than anything this whole year and it’s not close.

Big pre-flop raise here by the Times.
NYT statement to me: "David Brooks regularly attends events to speak with noted and important business leaders to inform his columns, which is exactly what happened at this 2011 event. Mr. Brooks had no contact with him before or after this single attendance at a widely-attended dinner."

ultimately, no one even grieved Charlie Kirk. he was just another thing for the worst people on earth to get outraged over. and when the outrage of real events wasn't enough, they invented new ones.

not even his wife saw his death as anything other than an opportunity.
my read is they were trying to whip up the usual frenzy, but then the effort got blown up by Candace Owens saying The Jews did it
It’s kind of incredible how little has been published about this guy and how little conservatives seem to care. Did people just forget these people were screeching for civil war when they thought he was a liberal?

Turns out deploying raw power to achieve policy goals you could barely imagine while preaching judicial modesty to Earl Warren’s ghost is a lot more fun than exercising the judicial restraint that, turns out, was just defense and not a meaningful intellectual commitment.
This is the heart of the matter.

Even after years of this behavior, part of me still finds it bewildering, and deeply distressing. It was this generation of conservatives who taught me to take judicial restraint seriously.

Just, how could you?
It is really, really hard to get your head around the raw hubris of the majority. They really will be destabilizing the operating structure of the entire U.S. government. Why? Because they believe they have a better idea about how the past century should've been done.

My bracha for John Roberts is may he live to a sufficiently old age and with razor sharp acuity that he may take in the full measure of his legacy.

Tell you what, Sean. Bring back that pre-bankruptcy Pan-Am airline travel and I'll give serious thought to pants without elastic. Might fuck around and wear a beaver felt fedora if the whiskey's served in crystal.

Keith it’s your publicist and I advise you in the strongest possible terms to keep posting about the live-in sugar daddy relationship you had with an 18 year old when you were 52.
I have to say, I got all the sweetness and dogs and good writing and Ryan Lizza got all the Olivia Nuzzi infidelity and adderall and ethical corruption 🤷🏼‍♂️

Compiling the “was a never never Trumper in the first term and has had it now” index, which seems as good as any a measure of where the wind’s blowing.*

*Not handing it to Ed Whelan, freaks.
Does Pete Hegseth have a "golden shield" against prosecution in the form of a DOJ OLC opinion? Ed Whelan thinks not.
