This is the NYT journalist who made the offer. Jason was told exactly why Lina passed.

Why would anyone debate a liar?

[Douglas Farrar @DouglasLFarrar]

I handle comms for Lina Khan. I'm the one who declined this invitation in May because she's on maternity leave. Here's the receipt.

And it wasn't a debate. The show's pitch was 'opposite sides finding common ground'

[Sarah Ellison @sarahellison]

My signature on an electronic screen looks like that of a 5 year old. Faint resemblance to my signature on a piece of paper.

An investor once told me: The worst thing that can happen is to have a big contrarian bet work out when you’re very young.

Because then you never believe anyone who tells you you’re wrong ever again.

I think something similar happened to Morris Katz and Fight Agency.

I'm going to say it: This guy's legendary goal call is boring.

¡QUE GOLAZO!

Con un potente derechazo de tiro libre, Tillman venció a Vasilj y amplía la ventaja de USMNT.

NEW: In the term ending last year, the Supreme Court passed a troubling milestone: The Shadow Docket overtook the normal process.

That means more unsigned decisions with no reasoning and secret votes from the highest court.

[Peter S. Goodman @petersgoodman]

It is no exaggeration to say the global financial crisis of 2008 had an enormous and lasting impact on American life and the way ordinary people view elites. It is also no exaggeration to say that Alan Greenspan has as much responsibility for the crisis as an individual can.

“That profile got everything about Trump 20 years before he ran for president: the vanity, the casual cruelty, the outsized selfishness. It was all there.” https://t.co/RZun77cpSG

[Jesse Eisinger @eisingerj]

Obviously I'm a little biased since I edited this thing but that a story about a killed criminal investigation into a sitting senator wasn't picked up, followed & pushed forward by major outlets is an excellent & sorry illustration of our broken information environment.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.   

Trump’s DOJ just shut down a federal investigation into a coal company owned by Sen. Jim Justice, one of his closest allies, after it racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations for dumping dangerous chemicals into our waterways. A veteran federal prosecutor with 24 years on the job said he had never seen anything like it.  

The man who killed the case was Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal defense lawyer and current Acting Attorney General. This is the same guy who just gave Trump, his family, and his companies permanent immunity from IRS audits. Now Trump wants the Senate to make Blanche’s appointment permanent too.  

Equal justice under law was never supposed to come with exceptions for the President’s friends.  

The pattern isn’t subtle: protect Trump’s friends, prosecute his critics, and get rewarded with more power. That is corruption, plain and simple. Todd Blanche must not be confirmed.

Every line of this trailer will have you cringing harder than the one before it right up until the last one, at which point you will actually laugh out loud

Oh and DJTjr's partner on the questionable oil refinery project is a piece of work.

Josh and Justin tried to find details about his other company and all they came up with was... a baklava caterer.

[Jesse Eisinger @eisingerj]

NEW: Donald Trump Jr. invests in a co. trying to build an oil refinery in the U.S.

Then the richest man in Asia invests... in the same company.

Then... his co. gets policy concessions from the Trump Admin.
