The people who cling to the Woody Allens of this world will never understand the people who drop the Neil Gaimans like they’re on fire.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

Merrick Garland left a standing impression that no one powerful will ever be held accountable. Democrats should rectify that by saying, loudly and every hour, that people who act on illegal orders will face punishment by the next DOJ.
Dems can say: Are you really sure you want to trust Trump, of all people, when he tells you that what he’s directing you to do is lawful, and that you’ll be protected later as a result? That’s a tenuous position for anyone to put themselves into—and Dems should not hesitate to say so.
Awful: Trump's boat bombings are now being justified by a new legal memo that relies on WH's own determinations as evidence. Memo also says people can't be prosecuted for the killings. But that reveals WH knows there's legal vulnerability here, Ds tell me.

It would usually be misogynist of me to say “the only reason she’s successful is because men find her attractive”, but not in Nuzzi’s case.
The only thing that's interesting about Nuzzi is the story of how an amoral careerist with no interest in policy and abysmal ethics became an acclaimed national political reporter. But rather than tell that story, the entire media seems desperate to play a part in it.
It rocks that all 20 people who genuinely think the Olivia Nuzzi stuff is interesting have editorial discretion at major media outlets. Just publish your group chats

I’ll never forget that when Sharp Objects came out Nuzzi wrote that piece criticizing the show and the book for perpetuating the stereotype that female journalists sleep with their sources.

I will no doubt read and enjoy all your very good Nuzzi jokes, but I also want to say earnestly, so many of us (myself included) are on the verge of being pushed out of this industry and it's genuinely so dispiriting to see the worst among us, ethics-wise, get such preferential treatment.

To quote Peggy Noonan, “is it irresponsible to speculate? No, it’s irresponsible *not* to.”
The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

As far as I can tell Cheryl Hines buys into the whole MAHA thing so I have no sympathy for her whatsoever. Anyone who stays with RFK Jr deserves whatever they get.
Imagine being Cheryl Hines and waking up today to dozens of text messages from friends linking to the NYT profile on Nuzzi where she admits RFK said "I love you" first after you just went on The View and covered for him lmao
