Some personal news: after six and a half years as an opinion columnist at the Boston Globe I am leaving the paper ... and launching a subscription Substack newsletter, Truth and Consequences ( https://t.co/7regdSTrWQ)

Thus invalidating those indictments

Groveling, self-flagellating, confessing to the grand inquisitors, oozing cult-like repentance, licking the trendsetters’ boots, loving the big brother. The present era has not only destroyed lives. It is also ruining personalities and nurturing abject cowardice.

This is what is so particularly awful about this administration … they politicize everything in a cynical and ostentatious effort to divide Americans

The finger-pointing by both sides in this case is inevitable, but it's also childish. No vetting process can guarantee that you'll catch all bad actors (or that someone won't flip out in the future). The shooter worked with a CIA-backed unit in Afghanistan, fighting against the

In 1492, at this very hour, an American explorer by the name of Christopher Columbus joined hands with the pilgrims and the Indians to celebrate the first Thanksgiving and establish everlasting peace between the two parties They thanked him for inventing America

Alleged shooter Rahmanullah Lakanwal worked for the CIA in Afghanistan out of Kandahar base, according to CIA director John Ratcliffe. Multiple sources tell me he was vetted before working with the CIA by the NCTC (National Counterterrorism Center) and the CIA. I am told that

It’s truly amazing that airlines continue to allow @Bencjacobs to fly on their planes

You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up. Your 70% number is just a fabrication. And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.

Deporting a law-abiding college student who came here at age 8 … and violating a court order in the process. Evil and illegal

Horrifying, deeply serious and troubling allegations in here of journalistic malpractice and source betrayal, but this — considering that Florida is a two-party consent state — might even be a crime. I’m shocked and sickened by so much, including the way he’s handled this.

"Israel has now confirmed that roughly half of the returned hostages reported some form of sexual abuse. The methods include forced nudity, sexualised torture, coercive touching, and threats of rape. Both women and men were targeted. The full extent of this abuse has only

There is nothing more embarrassing than seeing an anti-Zionist Jew bend over backward and empty his pockets to satisfy the antisemites who fund his work and buy his books.

Hard to be self-abasing and self-important in the same post, but Peter Beinart manages the trick.

@PeterBeinart Peter Beinart’s latest apology reads less like a reflection from a public intellectual and more like the confession of someone trapped in a sadistic relationship. He’s not apologizing for the things any reasonable person might question: his reckless, evidence-free accusations of

Suggesting that all Afghan refugees are a threat to America because of the actions of one Afghan refugee is the definition of racism

The NYT story about Trumps noticeable cognitive and physical decline manifesting itself in outbursts against groups he hates was actually co-written with a man. Trump doesn’t mention the male reporter, proving the point of the story.

I cannot imagine that anyone except for the cruelest and most psychotic supports deporting the spouses of US citizens who were going through the lawful process to get a green card. Unfortunately we are currently ruled by the cruelest and most psychotic. https://t.co/AX8CCmDPMF

Peter I used to respect you. Vehemently disagree with you, but respected you nonetheless. I don’t anymore. What you write here is disgraceful and you became a disgraceful person

The TN-7 poll is really interesting. Trump won it 60-38 (+22). The recall vote in the Emerson Poll is 54-41 (+13). Behn wins basically all of the Harris vote, and about 7% of the Trump 24% vote. Which is enough to make a Trump +22 vote close.
