What used to be is gone and what ought to be ought not to be so hard. Tweets speak for myself only.

I wrote an obituary for the Spencer Pratt campaign. It died as it lived: encouraging people
to believe lies about Los Angeles, each one a little
bit less believable than the last. What worked on Twitter did not work in LA, but his supporters can't grasp that. slate.com/news-and-pol...
Bari Weiss' Free Press built an entire fantasy around the idea that Pratt was actually a serious candidate, promoting a bogus narrative that Republicans were ascendent in an "angry" California revolting against the left leaving the "far-left" Raman in ruins. NOPE
I mean, you have to admire the honesty and openness of these federal prosecutors vouching BY ACTUALLY USING THE WORD VOUCH
That’s like the time they got Avenatti to basically recite the elements of extortion
The first grand jury proceeding in the Broadview Six case began with a *textbook example* of forbidden prosecutorial vouching. Misconduct from the start. Just incredible stuff.
Now here is a grand juror doing the 5th Amendment proud www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...
Los Angeles was never the hellscape Spencer Pratt claimed it was. But he's found a way to make a divided city even more so.
They’re calling it the dumbest two bitches to ever tell each other “exactlyyyy”
This reads like the opening scene of a pogrom
Polls have closed in South Carolina, and five counties have reported at least 15% of their ballots.
In the GOP primary for governor, Nancy Mace is in 5th place in each and every one of these five counties.
FWIW, I got to know Nancy Mace pretty well when I got back into reporting after being an editor. She was always fairly conservative, albeit somewhat heterodox. But I realized her outright transphobia and otherwise increasingly unhinged behavior sort of happened in tandem.
