“Conservatives would never accept a left-wing government using regulatory favoritism to pressure conservative media”—but now that this is occurring at CBS, they offer “pointillistic defenses” of Bari Weiss spiking a “60 Minutes” story, @jonathanchait argues.
Stop Defending Bari Weiss
It is impossible to take her actions at face value given the context in which she is operating.

ABDUL EL-SAYED: If you're more frustrated by the idea that I would campaign with Hasan Piker than the idea that we have backstopped a genocide or that we continue to rob people of getting basic healthcare, I think you don't understand morals.

Donald Trump decried The Wall Street Journal's report of a letter he wrote to Jeffrey Epstein as "malicious and defamatory"—conceding that, were it real, it would be pretty bad. "Guess what? It's real. And it's bad," @jonathanchait argues. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Epstein Letter Is Real, and It’s Bad
The president’s initial strategy of denying that the document exists leaves him with few options now that it has been made public.

"Democrats could have held the line on the shutdown, and spent weeks watching Trump’s approval ratings fall," writes @jonathanchait. Instead, he argues, they're making a mistake by giving in:

@post_prufrock: I'm an ER doc based in KY. I would go to an emergency room just to be safe.
