I'm old enough to remember when "armed agents of the federal government raiding churches on Christmas" was not, in fact, a cornerstone of the Republican Party's agenda.
"Agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including ICE, ERO, and CBP intend to implement a comprehensive plan to target Spanish-speaking churches across the country during the upcoming holiday season between Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, and Christmas, Dec. 25."
Exclusive: Trump DHS Plans Immigration Raids on Churches Over Holidays

The more than 20,000 emails belonging to Jeffrey Epstein that lawmakers dumped into the public domain on Wednesday are like a portal back to a lost Manhattan power scene.

(serious unbiased journalist voice) “are you trying to distract from the president’s refusal to make health care affordable by pointing out that he was also friends with a pedophile?”
Margaret Brennan to Tom Suozzi: "Can you explain the focus this past week in the House by Democrats on the Jeffrey Epstein files? Is this a tactic to distract from the failure to extract healthcare changes?"

It's a revealing moment...
J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.
The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

2. Read Kathryn on The Lowdown, one of the best TV columns I've read in quite some time.
3. Profit.

Really wish a lot of smart commentators would pause for a moment and ponder the question: "Do the words coming from a white, blond, former CIA staffer get perceived VERY DIFFERENTLY than the SAME words uttered by a Black, Indian California attorney married to an entertainment lawyer?"

Republicans lost big this week, not Dems, so Ross had to find something to write about other than “Tuesday’s Results Prove Dems Must Move to Center.”
Because Times writers aren’t allowed to write columns arguing “Election Results Prove GOP Must Move to Center.”

Meta is the worst.
Meta earns $3.5 billion every six months from showing Faceboon and Instagram users 15 billion “higher legal risk” scam ad impressions a day, internal documents state.
That haul vastly exceeds how much the company expects regulators
To fine it for running scam ads.

Cuomo was a three-term Democratic New York governor and son of a liberal icon who was also a three-term Dem NY governor. He also had the support of much of the Dem establishment. Bill and Hillary Clinton, and New York’s two Democratic senators, almost certainly voted for him.
