Welcome to CBS News with Bari Weiss; I’m Bari Weiss. The top story tonight is that my maverick opinions are being silenced by the woke left
I really hate that I live in a timeline where I need ever agree with Rand Paul, but here we are.
to this point, i can definitely trace my ancestry in this country to at least the very early 19th century.

Playing candy crush in their own ways 😍
1/3 20 years ago today, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, I wrote a piece called "Being Poor," to answer, in a way that I hoped would stick, why so many people stayed in New Orleans to face the storm. It was and remains one of the best things I've ever written. whatever.scalzi.com/2005/09/03/b...
Seconded. I just started Dipo Faloyin’s Africa Is Not a Country. So far excellent.
Valkyries been putting the league on notice ALL year, but playing New York like this on the their 3rd game in 4 nights, including a back-to-back??? This is a whole billboard from them. Wow.
Easier to fight hurricanes with space based Jewish lasers targeted with sharpies on maps.
So the U.S. military just blew up 11 people on the open sea in an extrajudicial massacre, saying they were dangerous drug traffickers but offering no court prior evidence to claim such. And other military units are patrolling U.S. cities with guns and no training in criminal procedure. Cool, cool.
Twins! Almost
AND NOBODY WILL ASK HIM SHIT! In contrast to Mamdani constantly being asked about a thing *he never even said*!
Vance follows a coterie of online Nazis on X, has described Curtis Yarvin as a major intellectual influence, and openly attacks immigrants in blood and soil terms. The response of most of the political press? "Doesn't look like anything to me."
The euro half step full step stop go sombrero fedora yeehaw Dallas Wingstep move. Neat.
Top four stories on the Atlantic right now. Tell me again how they have their finger on the pulse of regular Americans’ concerns
Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.
real game
Billionaires and "Murdoch’s role in destabilizing democracy in North America, Europe and Australia" www.nytimes.com/interactive/... "They got working whites to hate the very people that want them to have more pay, clean air, water, healthcare and power to fight back against big banks & big corps."
Whether it’s Michelle Obama suggesting kids exercise instead of watching tv or RFK Jr. telling kids to drink raw milk instead of taking vaccines, both figures took a controversial approach to children’s health.
Someone please kill me right now.
Saw them vs. the mystics last night. The first half was a masterclass in strangling.
They normalized calling for the death of innocent Black men. They normalized the fact that they can’t stop sexually abusing children. They normalized a traitorous violent assault on the capitol of the United States. And these motherfuckers want to pretend *word choice* is the issue? Please.
“They had so much fun.” These are really despicable stasi gestapo degenerates.
This seems to be as close as we’re getting now to just saying that it is.

I will be there in person with my girls for our first ever Vs game ❤️
The Republican platform is simple: They want to sexually abuse children. And they want you to pay for it.

🇬🇪Georgia’s paradox: a government despised by its people, yet firmly in power. Ivanishvili’s Georgian Dream survives not through popularity, but by fusing repression, economic dependency, and rigged institutions. 🧵In this thread I try to explain this paradox. 1/16

I can't *stand* the condescension of the people who think the only way to "embrace AI" is to buy into the bullshit narratives of the billionaires who are selling it. Tip: Ask early on, has your company ever enabled a genocide or made a product that encouraged self-harm? Maybe don't buddy up to them.
Alt Txt FTW
I’ll look for it thank you! I love these types of fruits with different texture, like chikoo or sapota
Another similar one is sitaphal which is a nightmare to eat easily, 40-50 of the juicy bits each covering small hard seeds.
Is it like the rambutan we had in Costa Rica? Have seen it in stores here in California too. Lychee in India looks like it too.
the saga continues: part 3 of how there's some modern-day slavery going on on US farms, it can happen to people who immigrated LEGALLY, and Trump rolled back key anti-slavery provisions back in June youtube.com/shorts/xB7-w...
Can you imagine being really good friends with a Trump supporter? I honestly can't. I can't even watch Love Island USA because I keep thinking some of you fuckers voted for Trump and I hope you never find love.
Surprised he didn’t say two weeks.
"Be evil."
The rise of a fascist leader in Germany led to genocide and a disastrous war that killed millions of Germans, but only 25 years later, Germany had regained its standing as a prosperous industrial power. Could the same thing happen here?
"The FBI did some shady and crappy things" does not begin to cover the havoc J Edgar Hoover and the FBI wreaked on my family for the crime of being Jewish communists. I'm sorry but this is a horseshit take. I will always use this example as a referent for whatever power they have WHENEVER.
IMO many Americans don't even buy guns for personal protection or to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. They simply have a shopping addiction
This is as clear as it could possibly be: Monarez wanted to check the science by conferring with colleagues and was kicked out for not instantly following the party line. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
also, the insane racism of this aside, "the black and white culture of louisiana is completely different" is something you can only believe if you've never stepped foot in louisiana (this applies to much of the south)
Can't make it to Burning Man? These sheet pan ketamine edibles will make you feel like you're pitching your crypto app to a VC bro in Carhartt overalls at a 5am EDM rave on the Playa.
Didn’t recognize most of these, but I was certainly sad to see Hiddlestone and Redmayne there … until I read the comments. Phew!
You’re an easy block. Thanks.
Profiles of Black veterans, guides for teaching Black history & historical documents are just a few of the online resources that have vanished from official gov't websites since Trump took office.
This is a straight up war crime.
Poor Andrew Yang has lost his one schticky line to Lutnick of all people
Finally a use for… wait, still not it
In this Indiana diner, everyone has three questions: How’s the breaded tenderloin? Is the quarry hiring? And when will President Trump put lead back into our gasoline?
When I said The Washington Post opinion pages would be dedicated to civil liberties and free markets, I wasn’t referring to militarizing the police, banning flag burning, masked abductions, meddling with the Fed, or forcing private companies to give the government a cut. by Jeff Bezos
Look, we have a new statement of principles for the Republican Party.
Japan Post has ceased all mail delivery to the US for packages valued over $100. To get around this, a Japanese denim company tells me they'll ship components to US customers one-by-one — fabric, buttons, rivets, a sewing needle, and thread. You then assemble the jeans at home like IKEA furniture.
Here in Colorado, legislators from both parties are trying to grant AI companies immunity from consumer protection lawsuits. Like immunity for gun manufacturers. Politicians will be bought off by all these tech bros as their products continue to kill us.
Will Trump family crypto holdings provide an economic umbrella for the entire nation after Treasury bonds collapse and the stock market crashes? We asked three recently-pardoned financial criminals.
one sign that the “unitary executive” is less the restoration of an older constitutional order and more the imposition of a radical new one is that allowing the president to act untethered from most legal or congressional limits has largely just served to plunge the country into disorder
Governors Pritzker and Walz did some significant work today. As did Governor Moore in his pushback yesterday. What they're doing is using counter-Political Action to make it clear that they'll utilize the power of their states to undertake legal/licit counter-Guerilla Warfare if they have to. 1/
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."
Part 2 of a lighthearted little series, "How Trump has made farm slavery easier." 💀 The H2A visa for farm workers to come here *legally* had a lot of issues that uhhhhh made it real easy to enslave the visa holders. Reforms were made in 2024. Trump undid them in June. youtube.com/shorts/WliZZ...
The fact that 12% of federal judges are Black shows the corruption of DEI. The fact that the two-thirds of the Supreme Court belongs to the Federalist Society shows the beauty of the meritocracy.
This piece also includes a beautiful table of contents so you can use it as a reference! www.wheresyoured.at/how-to-argue...
She is so good, it’s a pleasure watching these Valkyries play. My first ever game will be this Saturday against Kiki Sonia and Co.
Catching up on these stats from yesterday’s Valkyrie’s game…Veronica Burton played 38 minutes AND stayed locked in on defense AND lead the team in scoring and assists AND didn’t miss a free throw. Goodness!
the thing that trump and miller understand that most democrats and all the media don't is that even though cities are blue, there is still a solid 20-30% support from him in Chicago, and a much larger percentage of LEO's support him.
America now
Can’t believe Snoop went from “Murder Was the Case” to being a fucking cop. Pathetic. No wonder he spent so many years hanging out with the pathetic violent abuser Dre, who can also fuck all the way off. How does he explain to a kid that he consorts with a man who violently assaults women?
we see very clearly in public polling that people in california and D.C. hate the deployments and that americans broadly disapprove of them, but here we have an assertion that the smart strategy is to avoid any discussion of the situation in favor of a pivot to, you guessed it, kitchen table issues.
Why is it that Black people always understand the assignment, and white people never do, yet it’s always white guys who have something to say that’s not only loud but also wrong.
Ah yes the good old Usenet days of the Cabal (TINC)
“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.” ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
Trump: "They gave me $600 billion. And that’s a gift... That’s not a loan... There’s nothing to pay back. They gave us $600 billion that we can invest in anything we want.” European Union: Me: “He didn’t get a penny” White House spox: ”Pointless nitpicking” www.cnn.com/2025/08/22/p...
Trump is about to put me in jail for no reason. But I’m still proud that I wrote in Dwight Eisenhower instead of voting for Kamala Harris
I have no idea how this light even work in reality. It’s such an “deeply embedded in every damn system and process” thing. But that would be the best way. If and when Dems win the three branches, they should also make sure to appropriate only half of what they red states get now.
August 7: Trump demands Intel fire its' CEO, Lip-Bu Tan August 11: Trump meets with Lip-Bu Tan August 22: Trump announces purchase of 10% of Intel, and that "I negotiated this Deal with Lip-Bu Tan, the Highly Respected Chief Executive Officer of the Company." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It is ridiculous that Donald Trump has ceded so much power to Laura Loomer—an ignorant bigot who’s constantly spreading conspiracy theories. by Elon Musk
On the night of 22 to 23 August 1791, in Saint Domingue, today the Republic of Haiti, saw the beginning of the uprising that would play a crucial role in the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade. www.unesco.org/en/days/slav...
If someone tells you that they are running a reproductive justice organization but there are no Black women at the organization—only white women—they're not running a reproductive justice organization. End of. We can't just unquestioningly accept people's labels for themselves. It's ridiculous.
I want to 2nd this. Until February I was providing regional, thematic, & functional subject matter expertise in a place where I could do maximum amount of good with my education, experience, & expertise. That ended because funding that should've been transferred was not because of the new admin. 1/
BREAKING: A new experiment in Philly shows cash rental assistance slashed homelessness rates by 57–67%.
interested to read this upcoming book on roberts. and very intrigued by his the consequences on his formation of growing up in a highly segregated indiana suburb.
Bastards. That's a goddamn memorial.
Finally, some real journalism.
"Mainstream" (pronounced "WHY-itt) media is a place where a lady who does situps, an anonymous text & the tears of a racist clown hold as much intellectual weight as a Black historian, expert or scholar
This Federalist Society law professor isn’t sure
The thing is, we don’t come back for people we leave behind. That’s why we’re still dealing with systemic racism and anti Blackness. It’s why we’re still fighting for reproductive justice. It’s why we’re still battling for all these marginalized groups. We don’t come back for those left behind.
Good genes 😉
it is genuinely maddening to see pundits and reporters say things like “well trump has an advantage on crime” while the public consistently says “we think this guy sucks on crime”
This is a subtle version of “the cruelty is the point.” They’re telling us that concentration camps are all-American.
Valkyries too seem to have a clutch problem. They lead or stay close almost the whole game, but offense struggles at the end.
Casey Means is weak as hell. Hiding behind "cows" as an excuse in her quest to suckle from the goodness of the American farmer I form my own relationship with Shrek, look him in the eye, pet his pond, and decide if I feel safe to slurp the slime from his swamp
If a candidate who definitely could beat Trump proposed re-enslaving Black people would you expect Black people to vote for that person? Let’s use our noggins for a change.
one question to ask the editorial board is whether there is a minimum bar for what constitutes "american democracy." if most people in most states are gerrymandered out of effective political representation, is that democracy?
Hey remember that raw milk outbreak in FL? They traced it back to Keely Farms Dairy. Here's a pic! Cows lounging in a warm stagnant pond that's lush with weeds & algae, thanks to cow poop. Their raw milk has been making people sick since January for some reason apnews.com/article/raw-...
