Yes. Their data has been taken hostage, and they're trying to survive w/ pen and paper. I've only seen one teeny tiny headline about this in the national papers. I'm surprised it isn't getting more coverage. I got a NYT alert about it, so I think it's becoming national news.

Have we talked about The Atlantic hiring Kevin Williamson debacle? Rage. Ideological diversity is one thing- I don’t need to live in an echo chamber and only read stuff from people that feel exactly as I do. This is not diversity, this is exactly as you said: giving a troll a platform.

I’m truly disgusted by The Atlantic’s decision. Maybe they can hire Steve Bannon while they’re at it, it’s not like he’s busy.

Also I think referring to him as “a conservative writer” is a disservice to conservatives everywhere. Hiring someone like this to represent conservative viewpoints only serves to deepen the divide in our country and discourage any moderate/middle of the road thinking.

Trump’s lawyer allegedly raised prospect of parsons for Manafort and Flynn as Mueller closed in.
ETA: Pardons, not Parsons.

Kellyanne’s hubby on the NYTimes boom. There is talk he’s going rogue. I’m skeptical.

Call me cynical, but he and his wife have bought in so much to the Trump administration that I don’t see either “going rogue”. If anything, I’d believe this is some mild attempt to get a foot in on the other side so they still have some connections post Trump.

A federal judge is allowing a law suit against Pres DT for receiving emoluments through his DC hotel to proceed. This is the first time a plaintiff (in this case DC and MD AGs) has been found to have legal standing to sue the president in this type of lawsuit. ETA it was a federal judge, sorry for the typo. But this is exciting!

I just saw a meme with Emma Gonzalez and her Cuban flag on her jacket saying, "the left says the flag doesn't represent communism, but heritage, but the Confederate flag represents hate and not heritage". Like, WTF? I hate everyone.

Darth update. Shulkin is on Price's plane. That lawyer who was there for half a second is blurred running away.

Veterans deserve better than an asshole who was willing to lie about something as easily determined as a person's height just to feed his vanity about his fucking BMI.
