the thing about this is that the L.A.Times is basically pre-emptively anouncing their intention to publish fallacious and defamatory material
Well this is eleventy-million kinds of Fucked Up. @latimes.com (who once contracted with me as a freelance reviewer and whom I struggled to get paid by) asserts that *merely reading its website* constitutes a permanent waiver of your right to sue it under *any circumstances*.

It was probably the last thing to cross Ceaușescu’s mind.
A lot of dictatorships try to make these kind of arrangements when things go south. Important to remember there are other kinds of criminal, civil and reputational accountability pardons can’t touch. And if you’re pardoned you have no 5th amendment rights.

such sad news, she'd have been such an asset to The Washington Sun www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2...
they are also hastening the ends of all of these businesses because they don’t know what they’re doing
Right-wing billionaires now own the Washington Post, the LA Times, CNN, CBS News, virtually every local TV station, virtually every news radio station, most local newspapers, X, Facebook, Threads, and TikTok. (Did I miss any?) They own almost the entire information environment.
Spot on!
Thank you! I listened to the most infuriating "Pod Save America" with @davidaxelrod.bsky.social where he criticized both El-Sayed and Ossoff for being meanies to their opponents. Dem voters have been begging for this shit, Axe has been the one advising against it. Beat it, Axe, we're sick of you.

it makes sense that Moreno is not exactly in a rush to celebrate with his family and he's definitely a "I only have a few weeks left to suck shit" guy but I'm wondering where this sudden work ethic is going to come from in his caucus. McConnell is working harder than most and he's a vegetable now
GOP senator: Cancel Thanksgiving recess if we lose Sen. Bernie Moreno wants his fellow Republicans to cancel their holiday plans and jam through "everything that we could possibly get" if they lose the majorities in November's midterms. www.axios.com/2026/10/15/m...
In case you were wondering why I was in favor of this…
“According to GOP internal polling support for the party cratered after the midterm convention Dallas, with voters saying the party was not attuned to their economic concerns, according to a Republican strategist briefed on the numbers” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is actually a solid use of $3.6 million on multiple levels. There are a LOT of partner abuse survivors out there, and we like seeing a political leader standing up against abusers with more than just rhetoric.
JB Pritzker's leadership PAC poured $3.6 million in independent expenditures to take out Max Miller in #OH07. Miller faces allegations of domestic violence against his ex-wife. docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/form...
And as anyone who’s been unfortunate enough to have to go back over the Manhattan Institute’s work on any subject can tell you, they are a hive of inveterate liars and demagogues
Reminder that the Manhattan Institute's breakout star was recently on a podcast to discuss "the Indian question." More genuinely impactful scholarship from one of our premier think tanks.
Christopher Rufo has lately played a role in trying to get Indian-Americans killed krishnamoorthi.house.gov/media/press-...

"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this
