"why I left the left" oped by Hailey Stevens.

McMorrow’s (Jewish) husband asked Stevens to sign an OpEd in September criticizing Mike Rogers for refusing to denounce antisemitic members of his campaign/volunteers & antisemitic megadonors to his campaign. She refused to do so. But she claims she’s endorsing Rogers to “protect” Jews from El-Sayed

Here's more from Ray Wert:

"Literally the bare minimum - attack MAGA Mike Rogers, the guy who would have been running against you had you won the primary. And that was over a month ago. This is nothing new. This is just who Haley is."
I approached Haley in the middle of September about putting her name to an Op-Ed attacking Mike Rogers for his unwillingness to denounce the antisemitic members of his own team, the $10 million in support he's received from Christian nationalist Tim Dunn, and his steadfast opposition to a woman's right to choose. The goal of the Op-Ed was to remind members of the Jewish community that Mike Rogers doesn't align with our values. The proposed Op-Ed never mentioned Abdul. The only thing it asked for was to not vote for Mike Rogers. Initially she was very interested in it. Then she wasn't. Then she was again. Then she wasn't. She never signed it. Literally the bare minimum - attack MAGA Mike Rogers, the guy who would have been running against you had you won the primary. And that was over a month ago. This is nothing new. This is just who Haley is. By the way, here's the Op-Ed that she wouldn't let me publish. FROM THE DESK OF Haley Stevens I'm a Democrat. I always have been. After I was heckled with horrifically antisemitic language at my own party's convention in April, I called it out, because I believe that when antisemitism rears its disgusting head, you say something. Even when - especially when - the people doing it are supposed to be on your side. — Which is exactly why I can't stay quiet about Mike Rogers. I can't hold one standard for Democrats and a softer one for Republicans and still claim to have a standard at all. Let's start with the money. The largest donor to one of the first super PACs backing Mike Rogers' campaign is a Texas oil billionaire named Tim Dunn, who put in $5 million. Dunn is a well-documented financier of Christian nationalist politics. And in 2010 he told Joe Straus, then the Republican Speaker of the Texas House, that Straus was not qualified for the job because he is Jewish. Dunn's position, in Straus's telling, was that only Christians should hold leadership positions in that chamber. Sit with that for a moment. A Jewish Republican, elected by his own colleagues, told to his face that being Jewish disqualified him. That's who wrote the biggest check in this race. Mike Rogers has never publicly said a word about it. Now let's look at the people working to elect him. On February 25, someone on X asked what should be done about Jews. A college student named Cameron Dundas replied: "Send them to North Korea?" Weeks later, Mike Rogers named him as his campus lead at a Michigan university. He isn't the only one. Alexander Richmond, the Rogers for Senate campus lead at the University of Michigan, defended participants in the leaked Young Republicans group chat. You may remember that chat. "I love Hitler." Black Americans called "monkeys." Musings about sending political opponents to the gas chambers. Rape described as "epic." ་་ So what did Mike Rogers' campaign say when asked about all of it? "There are a lot of people across the state, with …

being a new york times oped columnist must be like being a republican politician in a safe red seat.

Arguing with Gail Collins doesn't really train you for the big leagues.

Bari Weiss's resident hack Ross Douthat made a complete fool of himself on 60 Minutes, trying to claim the Saudi lobby has the same grip on Washington as AIPAC. Abdul El-Sayed immediately crushed him: 'AIPAC spent $33 million against me alone! Name another lobby doing that.' It has to make sense!🗳️🌊

Famously the OpEd page of the WSJ tells the C-suite what they want to hear while the news section tells them what they have to hear.

And yes I suppose technically the NYPost OpEd never explicitly says that Stevens is Jewish but there is a clear implication in the phrase “In the end, she came to the realization that so many Jewish-Americans have” and there is no universe in which it was not intentional.

In his kooky new OpEd, Ioannidis says science communicators who supported mask mandates during the pandemic were equivalent to tobacco companies 🤯

Statewide mask mandates saved an estimated 87,000 lives in 2020 (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...)

Tobacco kills >7 million people /yr

So similar!

It’s sad to see what happened to Ioannidis: his new piece argues the greatest threat to US science is science journalists & journals (BMJ, Lancet etc)🤯
He peddled horrific conspiracies during Covid (eg, claiming doctors were killing patients by intubating them)! Read this by @gorskon.bsky.social 👇

"John Ioannidis recently characterized journalists invoking falsely (in his view) “science-based” views as a threat to science. What is the real threat to science in the US? (Hint: It’s not that.) Here’s a reality check."

NYPost OpEd says “In the end, [Stevens] came to the realization that so many Jewish-Americans have, to their sadness: The party has abandoned them.”

Except, again, HALEY STEVENS IS NOT A JEWISH-AMERICAN. SHE IS A PROTESTANT CHRISTIAN. And Democrats HAVE NOT ABANDONED JEWISH-AMERICANS. OR VICE-VERSA
Haley Stevens’ act of bravery as her party abandons Jewish voters
Think about how bad Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed must be for Haley Stevens to cross the political aisle and endorse Republican Mike Rogers

I love this exchange. I recently went down the manosphere rabbit hole for an OpEd I wrote on how MAHA, MAGA, & the manosphere have merged & it made me feel mentally & physically sick. El-Sayed, Ossoff, & Talarico show young men that caring, being in community, & fighting for rights ARE masculine
gregsargent.bsky.social Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 1d
I really think that MAGA masculinity crashing and burning so badly has created an opening for Dems to model a different kind of manhood. I think James Talarico and Jon Ossoff are doing this quite deliberately.
