Larkin's own poll last week had him within 2 points of the incumbent Jared Moskowitz. Hard to tell what will happen-- Larkin is being outspent by a lot--but I thought this was pretty astute. FL Democratic voters have had incredibly uninspiring choices lately. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/oliver-lar...
Even if you agree with this guy’s politics, it really feels impossible to imagine being an editor who can commission any nonfiction writer in America and thinking to yourself, “Let’s pay this guy to write his one column again “
Unfortunately for David Ellison this is transparently laughable after what Bari Weiss has already done at CBS and it will be very funny if her genius moves fuck up a $100 billion merger www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/o...
Pitch for new AI product that writes for you: "What comes out isn't AI content. It's your authentic work." Awful.
Rahm Emanuel’s example of a good Democratic candidate “touting substantive ways to help families cover the mortgage” is Abigail Spanberger, who vetoed a public sector bargaining bill that would have done just that for half a million Virginians. Rahm Emanuel is an idiot. www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...
First, we’d like to make clear we have no problem with the business of private ICE prisons. Second, how dare you question our commitment to immigrants.
News organizations should periodically stop and look in the mirror and ask themselves “Have we internalized copspeak to the point that our headlines indistinguishable from police department email subject lines?”
Always interesting to see the childlike, reactionary ideas that come out of the mouths of prestigious legacy media figures when they are allowed to stop pretending to be neutral.
Yeah, super smart to ask the most popular people to leave the party. This analytical acumen is why the Democrats control the government today.
The insistence on using caps lock even in this situation should be entered into evidence at The Hague
This is a good demonstration of the amount of capital that gets deployed based on idiocy, gullibility, and a belief in magic. The predictive value of this is zero. www.wsj.com/finance/bank...
Killer kicker on this WSJ story about a man who was driven insane by ChatGPT. www.wsj.com/tech/persona...
Worth noting that this is actually a meta-question-- it's not "what policy do you think is good?" It's "what policy do you think other, imaginary people would think is good?" This encourages the "Everyone Think Like a Pundit Rather Than as a Citizen" disease that plagues political commentary.
Truly huge number of cops out in Flatbush at the anti-Israeli settlement land sale protest on ocean Avenue. Lots more pro-Israel counter protesters at the moment.
I would love to read a deep dive profile of some of the people who pay money to subscribe to Chris Cillizza. Fascinating
Haha. “Sorry, only the wrathful vengeance part of my religion is public. The love thy neighbor part is strictly private.” www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...
"Why are all the journalists laid off now" this is why. Pretty simple.
Let us not forget that the National Labor Relations Act says the government shall "encourage collective bargaining." So why not fund union organizing, fully in line with that mandate??? More and more people are saying this. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/claire-val...
ok sorry for being a RUBE but “in celebration of the First Amendment. honoring the Trump White House” please retire from journalism if you attended this!
It is actually fascinating to watch the Washington Post try out this combination of USA Today editorial content and a WSJ opinion page. It's "laundry tips!" plus "We must slash capital gains taxes." Unfortunately for Jeff Bezos, the number of living human readers seeking this combination is zero.
Instant non-denial hall of fame www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
A local healthcare workers union organizing a ballot initiative that could take $30 billion from the rich and counteract the Trump administration's Medicaid cuts is as clean a demonstration as I can imagine of why unions are important and class war is real. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/in-califor...
