Swear to god I heard a guy say as he exited the jfk arrivals terminal and gazed upon the pickup hell: “this isn’t wisconsin”

Is it the show can’t decide whether Shiv is smart or dumb or is that Shiv thinks she’s smart and is actually dumb

first time a presidential candidate has written their own ad copy?
Quote Tweet
This ad rules because it’s a bafflingly petty attack nobody besides Trump cares about which is why you know he’s personally demanding that they make it

imagine how aggro you have to be to be a "famously aggressive" entertainment lawyer
Quote Tweet
I'm told that both Tucker Carlson AND Don Lemon have retained the famously aggressive entertainment lawyer Bryan Freedman. I have reached out to Freedman; no response yet.

i can't say i'm a student of tucker's ouevre but on a tiktok clip of his appearance on the nelk boys' full send podcast he just straight up asserted epstein was mudered, nothing wrong with that per se, but it does show where his head was at

for all the stuff fox puts on air, it's also always been pretty willing to put talent out to pasture. glen beck and bill o'reilly, now tucker, hell they even tossed the founder and ceo of the whole operation

Oddly specific update

Kings guard De'Aaron Fox fractured the very tip of his left index finger in Game 4, but there's still hope he will try and play Game 5 on Tuesday, sources tell ESPN. Fox would need to play with a protective covering on the finger. He will be listed as doubtful.

Venessa is one of the more delightful and brilliant people I had the chance to work with at BF, was a joy getting to read her stuff all these years

I had to regain sensation in my body before getting back on Twitter. I've been at @BuzzFeedNews for 8 years, so it's a shock to the system to see it go. My DMs are open if you're hiring. Mostly I just want to create a space to thank everyone who gave me a shot since 2015

Defining the Green New Deal should always be left to the idea's pioneer, Tom Friedman, who coined it in 2007, rather than johnny-come-latelys like AOC or Sunrise nytimes.com/2007/01/19/opi

one issue with evaluating the IRA compared to a "green new deal" is that no one has really made up their mind what a conceptual "green new deal" is, nevermind that the nature of the actual new deal is itself still heavily debated

and then we have to ask the question is to what extent the new deal and war years are part of a continuous economic policy, and how much of the promise of the new deal ended up being delivered during world war ii and what *that* means for climate policy etc etc

this of course goes back to the nature of the new deal itself, was it a policy of welfare state expansion, public employment and public provision, or was it the Roosevelt administration teaming up with chosen capitalists to implement developmentalist policy
