Who are the New York Times editors on here who will commission me to write an op-ed like 'John Roberts Just Can't Help Himself: In year-end report, the Supreme Court's Chief Justice continues to distort the past in order to damage democracy in the present.'

Delvin Francisco Rodriguez, 39, an immigrant from Nicaragua who has been in ICE custody since September, has died in a Mississippi hospital following a “failed test to determine brain function.”

It's unclear what caused his death.

people are clowning on this, but the Canadian mind is cunning, pitiless, steeped in boreal perfidy
The Atlantic suggesting, without evidence, that Canada's Global TV broadcasting the '60 Minutes' segment on CECOT that CBS distributed to it may have been an act of "treachery."

Worth remembering that Bari Weiss signed that oh-so-remarkable Harper’s Letter about the vital importance of free speech and the need to resist attacks on it.

I know that letter is five years old now, but utterly annoys me as much today as it did when it came out.

So transparently bad.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.

He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

The Mississippi GOP's main project has been to roll back the civil rights movement, starting with the re-segregation of public schools. ProPublica identified 20 segregation academies in Mississippi that received almost $10 mn over 6 years from state coffers.
