This is why I oppose Nikki Haley. The one quality we cannot afford for anyone seeking elected office is a willingness to kneel before the rage mob. The swamp would chew her up and spit her out.

I work for BlackRock. We are the largest owner of Norfolk Southern, the train operator that crashed in Ohio. In the bathroom today I overheard the top executives saying how they have directed mainstream media companies to blackout the reporting on this disaster. This is a coverup

if you're mad that the Sunday Morning political shows didn't cover what's happening in East Palestine, OH remember that the Sunday shows suck, never cover anything important, and what they cover they do so comically poorly so in the end if's probably for the best

It's going to be fun watching Wilson try to maintain the fiction about resigning to preserve the integrity of the FTC after Comcast or Delta or Amazon or whoever hires her as Senior Vice President for Governmental Affairs

The framing on this story is so wild and anti-worker. They keep calling it a “problem” that you’re not buying salads on Mondays and Fridays in Manhattan. That money is getting spent elsewhere, which is probably good! The world has changed! Someone will get rich off this too!

woo congrats to everyone who said, "I bet if I just stick the tip into the hot new transphobia/homophobia there won't be any super huge ramifications from what I'm normalizing"
Quote Tweet
I want every parent to think of how hard it would be to relocate your entire life. How easily could you find a new job, new housing, new schools? How traumatizing would that be for your kids?
For tens of thousands of families with trans youth, it's the best-case scenario.

Pure insanity. It was obvious from the beginning where folks like DeSantis and Rufo were going to take this moral panic fueled by anti-black and anti-queer hatred. Self-styled moderates and centrists helped make this happen by going along with it.

also have to LOL at a guy who "This piece exaggerated the issue in my opinion. I’m a numbers guy. I know numbers" in one breath and in the next you find out "he first grew concerned about the report after his 22-year-old daughter raised the issue with him"

pretty stupid of Philip Birsh to try to quash this story since now what's going to happen is another reporter, perhaps from a bigger platform than PLAYBILL, is gonna go re-report it and now it can be sold as "the story that PLAYBILL tried to shut down"

I never had a source assaulted in front of me until today when an Israeli soldier who stopped my interview did this with a Palestinian peace activist Issa Amro in Hebron. I can't stop thinking how dehumanizing the occupation is on the young soldiers charged with enforcing it.
