I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

This is a complicated case, with a LOT of files, so I know it's easy to confuse what's what. What Stephen doesn't understand is that the emails released Wednesday are from Epstein's estate. They were obtained from Epstein's lawyers pursuant to a subpoena that was issued by the House Oversight Committee (lawmakers). These documents are separate from the criminal case files held by the DOJ and the FBI that Trump and Bondi promised to release after the election. (more)

As a working class person in journalism, it troubles me how tough it still is for working class people to break into the trade. So I'm freeing up some time in my calendar for chats with aspirant working class journalists.

I wrote about the cruel consequences of America's aging prison population. Why are we forcing older people to spend their dying years in prison when they can get better care elsewhere? vox.com/the-highlight/241199…

Justice Alito is fixated on the idea that *someone* has to be able to sue.
#SCOTUS has rejected the "someone must have standing" approach to Article III standing consistently since 1973.

Heads up: This is the strategy. They don't need to win Congress. They just need to win the presidency and then the new DOJ can prioritize the enforcement of the Comstock Act (a law that was enacted in 1873 and has been unenforced, tho still on the books, for much of our lives).

10 years ago, THE GOOD WIFE killed off Will Gardner in one of the most shocking TV deaths of all time.
For @vulture, I spoke to @MrJoshCharles and showrunners Robert and Michelle King about planning the top-secret episode, consoling fans, and much more:

Today marks 4 years of @discourse_blog , if you can believe it. Having an outlet to say what I want without getting blackballed or fired has meant a lot to me.
As a thank you, we're having a 40% sale on subs all this weekend!

UPDATE: Looks like Judge Cannon has changed her mind and will allow the Government to respond to the defense's arguments to dismiss based on unconstitutional vagueness and then have the Defense do rebuttal.
[Which is the normal and usual way to do things]

First, it likely *will* at least reduce the frequency of them if litigants can’t hand-pick the most ideologically sympathetic judge they can find.
Second, if there’s still work to do (and there is), it’s too bad that McConnell isn’t part of a body that has the power to do more.

I need to know how this writer plans to "put on a pot of Frappuccino"
Put on a pot of Frappuccino for the Swifites: Taylor Swift‘s “The Eras Tour” concert film will be even longer on streaming than it was in theaters. See why: trib.al/7z7FhsP

1. Earlier this month, a mysterious woman appeared before a school board in Texas and claimed that, when she was 11, she READ A SCHOLASTIC BOOK THAT SPARKED A DEBILITATING PORN ADDICTION.
We investigated.
And it's ABSOLUTELY WILD what is happening.
