This article says that "That immorality, once unleashed, may ultimately be aimed at others in this country, regardless of immigration status."
Citizens have been swept up by ICE's deportation machine for months.

I think this is spot on. It's fun to poke at the shitty writing, but it's an absolute travesty that the Olivia Nuzzis of the world still have lofty perches in the journalism world while so many talented reporters are struggling. All the joking only boosts her profile as a "journalist"

If there aren’t enough police officers to guard New York (a thing I’m always hearing) then why are uniformed cops being used to protect the Alo attire of Dumbo (and, surely, placed to protect other brands across the city)

There are obviously more important things going on in the world but the House Oversight Committee misspelled Michael Wolff's name in the press release about Epstein

You could almost forget people don't have enough money for food and the planes aren't running regularly and federal workers don't know when their next paycheck will come through

Was reading the suit against Alan Dershowitz noted in the newsletter and discovered that Batya Ungar-Sargon, formerly at Newsweek opinion and now at NewsNation, is also being sued by Rabbi Shmuley. Lots going on in this case. Come for the defamation, stay for the Kosher sex and Michael Jackson

Unfortunately, the AP obit does not include the words "war crimes" or "torture," which is journalistic malpractice. This is somehow their entire section dedicated to Iraq

Hot off the heels of chortling when a radio host said Mamdani would laugh if there’s another 9/11, Cuomo’s posted an endorsement from The Jewish Press that says a Mandani win sends the message that anti-Semitism is OK, tho Mamdani has repeatedly disavowed anti-Semitism
