@politicalmath We really don't hate the media enough

People think I'm joking when I say never talk to cops or journalists without a lawyer present.

[Lyndsey Fifield @lyndseyfifield]

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.

Interesting!

Remote work increased alone time and seems to have increased mental distress, perhaps in the process.

A piece of evidence that this is due to loneliness is that, among people with families, remote work seems to have been fine.

[Jim Geraghty @jimgeraghty]

It’s one thing for the general public to enjoy the stories of Marvel Comics' The Punisher, or the Death Wish films, or other vigilante stories as a dark escapist fantasy. But it’s another thing to see those who take an oath to uphold the law enthusiastically adopt the image of a character who rejects the criminal justice system and its laws protecting the rights of the accused.

We really ought to have higher standards of competence for our members of Congress.

[Andrew Kolvet @AndrewKolvet]

The impact of our failed education system just revealed itself in this congressional hearing, and it shows how incompetent people have become.

Bessent: "Who was the president during World War I?"

Rep. Chu: "I don't know."

This woman is a FEDERAL LEGISLATOR responsible for creating the laws that govern hundreds of millions and she doesn't know something this simple.

Incompetent children, all of them.

One of the worst war films of all time, and the fact that it won best picture is representative of what sociologists refer to as “the [societal] gap between the military and civilian worlds. And when I say worst I mean god awful.

[Dennis M. Hogan @dennismhogan]

I think a giant imperial military blob with an unwieldy and overfunded warfare state making catastrophic tactical decisions by misusing expensive equipment in unsuitable conditions is among the most believable things in that entire movie

When faced with the option of elevating a member of their own delegation to statewide office, it says a lot that Forsyth County leaders said: John F. Kennedy is who Forsyth County needs in the Lieutenant Governor’s office.

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

Susan Collins:
1) Voted to convict Trump of impeachment
2) Voted against Amy Coney Barrett & Pete Hegseth
3) Backed limits on Trump's military power
4) Wants to nuke his "Anti-Weaponization Fund"

And more. If *she* is your evil right-wing extremist, words do not mean anything.
