@JoeNBC Obeying in advance

BRENNAN: Do you think experience is necessary? JIM HIMES: How far we have come that on a major news show the question we're examining is, 'is experience necessary for one of the most powerful positions in the land?' Of course it's necessary!...how is this what we're focusing on?

The Florida of today is the America of tomorrow…

Torres: There’s a Turkish proverb that says, “If a clown goes into a palace, the clown does not become a king; the palace becomes a circus.” We’re witnessing the transformation of the American presidency into a circus, with Tulsi Gabbard as the potential Director of National Intelligence and Matt Gaetz as the potential Attorney General. Both are absurdities. Both will make an absurdity of the federal government as we know it...

@brianstelter I think they can start small just by not letting people lie continuously

The election results put an exclamation point on pervasive concerns about distrust and dissatisfaction with the news media. Now a reckoning is underway. Media execs and rank-and-file reporters are wondering what needs to change. So here are some concrete ideas... 🧵

Sure, Florida’s SAT scores keep falling but did we get the pronouns under control? Something has been done about the pronouns, right @Scott_Maxwell?

@Scott_Maxwell I keep saying kids that graduate from this new Prager U stuff are gonna get their butts kicked when they pop off that Rosa Parks isn't black in another state.

Florida's SAT scores drop again. We're now 47th, trailing even states where more students take the test. This is the sad yet unsurprising result of a state led by politicians more interested in culture wars than public education. 1/3 orlandosentinel.com/2024/11/15/flo…

"You know, it’s almost like Florida’s plan for education — censoring books, berating teachers, whitewashing history lessons and sending families to fly-by-night voucher schools in strip malls — hasn’t worked out so well."

The movement that was all about saying "OK groomer" to people for years is now not that interested in finding out if the future attorney general sex trafficked a minor?

Y’all thought trump was playing when he said he’d do bad things. Y’all thought Harris was lying when she said she’d do good things. Funny thing is they both were telling the truth. Y’all simply choose to believe the best about a white man and the worst about a black woman.

If anyone ever wants to share any newsworthy documents, as always I'm at ronan_farrow@newyorker.com

Mark my words. Gaetz resigned but he doesn’t get confirmed and DeSantis appoints him to Rubio’s senate seat. FML.

Jesus Christ. I’m here for this kind of petty. Read every word of this. 🤣🤣

Sure, I Voted for Someone Whose Policies Might Kill You, but Now’s the Time to Put Aside Our Differences mcsweeneys.net/articles/sure-…

@EndColonialsm Wajahat is right. Too many voters channeled their (justified) anger in the wrong direction. The manner in which Biden/Harris have supported Israel is outrageous. My heart is broken for the people of Gaza. But Trump was never going to make anything better. Never.

No. You were reckless and foolish. As a result many people, especially Palestinians, will suffer. You punched yourself in the face to temporarily feel better and refused to listen to everyone who warned about the consequences.

Florida’s liberal New College reinstates ‘wokeness’ course — but calls movement ‘cult’ with ‘illiberal’ methods msn.com/en-us/news/us/…

@Dr_Heavenly They can't afford to drive in your lane.

You mean, the Dr Lane or your lane? Tell me which one
