A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

I hate sounding like a conspiracy person but there’s a reason that this Sophie Cunningham thing is on like day 7 of discourse and how there’s absolutely very little trans staff writers driving the news coverage of it.

Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government.

A Muslim with a very Arab name running on a left-wing platform winning a statewide Democratic primary anywhere — let alone the Midwest — would have been unthinkable even a year or two ago. Now comes the hard part but this is still an incredible victory.

Abdul El-Sayed: -Spent: $15.5M - Votes: 740,950 votes - Cost per vote: $21 Haley Stevens: - Spent: $72M - Votes: 726,057 - Cost per vote: $99 Organized people > organized money

the el-sayed win shows yet again that centrists are now everything they always claim the left is when it comes to israel: ideologically rigid, in hock to extremists, mistaking online beefs (ie hasan) for mass politics—and toxic to the electorate.
