As the Times forced Lyndsey to jump through these hoops, they simultaneously published non-credible and non-verified accounts of rape by Israeli dogs in their pages.

[AG @AGHamilton29]

It’s really not a surprise that people who weren’t bothered by a Nazi tattoo, constant lying, writing women are to blame for their own sexual assaults, or support for terrorism aren’t bothered by abuse allegations.

They won’t be bothered by the next things either.

I bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias) and decided to fully trust the Times journalists.

As they left my home they asked that I not talk to any other outlets and I insisted then and repeatedly over the following weeks that I would keep my word and only share this story with them.

But then the weeks dragged on. They kept coming back to us saying the editors needed more. I needed to go on the record (okay). We need more screenshots (okay). I met every bench mark they set, eager to provide more sources or evidence as needed.

After the story went up I began to ask them … wait, where are the stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual assault? Why am I the focus? Why are there 11 paragraphs dedicated to detailing my work history (more than has been published about Graham’s by far)?

Why does it say “nobody could corroborate” when I offered them sources that COULD corroborate?

Why did they include an out of context quote from a friend joking “do not call Graham” after I called off my wedding? (Because she knew I would never).

Where were the screenshots they’d said they would use? Or the mention that I’d supported local democrats and that most of my family (and husband) are liberal?

The editors said it was too much, they explained.

The Times also failed to include any mention that I DID confide in multiple friends through the years that Graham had been abusive — long before he was running for office. Those friends confirm they told the Times so.

It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign. Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life.

And at the end of my call with them I reluctantly accepted their insistence that this was still a powerful story and that I had done a brave thing. And I thanked them for all the hard work they had put into it.

Still fawning after all these years.

Officially 1 month since I switched to a flip phone.

- Everyone is more severely addicted to their smartphones than I thought. Once you have a dumbphone, you'll frequently find yourself as the only person in the room not on their phone. It's not just teenagers, it's parents and adults of all ages. It's like everyone is stuck in a trance. 75+ year olds might be the only exception.

- All the objections I previously had for getting a dumbphone have turned out to be overblown and/or solvable. My iPhone addiction had fed my brain excuses to not do this earlier. If you really want to make the switch, you can.

- I've felt embarrassed to pull out my flip phone in public at times, for fear of being different or drawing too much attention to myself. But I have learned to just own up to it. Most people end up saying something like "Oh, I probably should do that too."

- I am using my brain more. Even though my flip phone has Waze, I find myself memorizing maps and roads. I'm more bored and get lost in my thoughts. I'm using paper and pen more. Increased desire for tangible things > digital things.

Overall, it has been a great experience and I plan on never going back.

Thomas Massie never mentioned the USS Liberty crew once in 13 years in Congress.

Loses his primary, and now he's memorializing them on the House floor.

Using the deaths of Americans as your ticket into podcastistan is a new low

@paramounttactcl @FBIDirectorKash @imelizabethlane To be fair, lying is core to her job function. Allegedly, of course.

The press hasn't grilled JD Vance NEARLY enough on why he recommends this weirdo to young people.

[James Lindsay, anti-Communist @ConceptualJames]

Why did the Vice President recommend this guy's podcast in specific to our young people? Seems horribly irresponsible.

[GingerToner @GingerToner]

This is the man @JDVance thinks we should all to listen to.

Pretend to be shocked. Appeasement is what is breeding this.

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

Former national security adviser John Bolton has agreed to plead guilty to one count of illegally retaining classified documents and will pay more than $2 million in fines. Bolton stored diary entries from his time in the White House at home and shared over a thousand pages of sensitive material with family members via personal email, according to CNN.

The Lebanese Armed Forces confirm their troops have begun "gradually deploying" in the town of Dibbine in southern Lebanon, following the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the area.

In a statement, LAF called on Lebanese citizens to avoid approaching the area until the deployment is complete, adding that Lebanese troops are currently operating to reopen roads previously blocked by the IDF.
