Whenever we needed to bump eyeball counts we'd run a Top 10 listicle or a Vote For Hottest Chef piece to goose the numbers. I worked for a content farm that gave us bonuses based on clicks. This is not how a real newspaper should function.

The Winter Olympics has long been a battleground for marginal gains.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.
It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

The mainstream media needs a "political showdown" story angle to ICE or they won't cover it.
What is the red team doing and how is the blue team responding? What are the implications on the midterms or Newsom's or Pritzker's 2028 run?
Los Angeles, Chicago, Minneapolis, ICE raids never slowed down.

The fact that mainstream media stopped covering ICE kidnappings in LA isn't because ICE stopped kidnapping (they didn't)
Or ICE slowed down (they have actually increased their tempo)
Or that resistance to ICE slowed down (it never stopped, it grew)
It's the "political showdown" that stopped.

Elie is right. It is always better to be prepared for something that didn't happen than to be unprepared for something that does. How many people that throw around "doomer" also said SCOTUS would never fold on immunity last year? The point is we don't know what's gonna happen. Better to be ready
Trump and the Republicans are trying to rig the election. That's not being a "doomer," that's acknowledging reality.

Le then says she didn't receive proper training, and that there are only four AUSAs working on habeas petitions (they're so screwed). Earlier she said she'd shadowed other attorneys for about 3 weeks and that "when you showed up, they just throw you in the well and then here we go."

the number of academics who were in touch with Epstein really puts the (elite) backlash to Title IX's enforcement against sexual violence into perspective.

She wasn't a general assignment AUSA roped into this. If you believe someone who was deporting people before choosing to join the fight to keep people detained during the middle of the ICE occupation was actually trying to fix the problem from the inside, I think you're a little naïve and credulous.

This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.
Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.
Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.
