Good on 60's Sharyn Alfonsi, who emailed the show's staff and correspondents to say Bari Weiss had "spiked" her story in what she says was a "political" call.

With cals like this, "We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state,” Alfonsi said.

No matter how upsetting?

Person 2: it wasn’t always upsetting.
Sometimes it was just about cats.

This.

Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden all ushered in this new golden age of expansive wealth inequality.

Until we tax wealth/asset incomes more -and work/labor incomes less
we are fucked.

We live in the richest nation in the world- yet we *income earning, non billionaires* have to worry about being one crisis away from homelessness, losing health insurance and poverty.

Why do we worship the wealthy?
Are their vast riches not enough?

Trump is invading American cities to nominally address crime, and I think the scale of his pardon-sprees should be given more political salience
When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.
