Joy Reid Is Out at MSNBC

In December, I wrote about how Trump’s victory had humiliated his media enemies. It was predictable that there would be consequences, and now the consequences come home for one of Trump’s angriest critics: MSNBC liberal mainstay Joy Reid’s show has been canceled as part of a major overhaul by the network’s new president Rebecca Kutler, […]

CPAC Scenes

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland There is nothing else on the planet like CPAC. As I’ve sometimes said, it’s basically Mardi Gras for right-wingers. You see all the earnest young College Republican types, with the boys in nice suits and the girls dolled up in dresses and heels, and you know they’re having the time of their […]

CPAC: New Heights of Awesomeness

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland Watching Vice President J.D. Vance being interviewed on the CPAC stage by Mercedes Mercedes Schlapp yesterday morning, I couldn’t help but be impressed and encouraged. Vance is very, very good as a communicator, in a way that Donald Trump never has been. Certainly, many voters have been drawn into the GOP column […]

CPAC: Too Early to Think About 2026?

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland So I get on the hotel elevator with a couple, and the guy’s wearing a red shirt emblazoned, “RON ELLER FOR CONGRESS.” Curiosity being a journalistic habit, I ask the guy, “Who’s Ron Eller?” “I’m Ron Eller,” he says, and then proceeds to tell me that he ran for Congress last year […]

CPAC: Today Is Vice President Day

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland Still don’t have my media credentials. The appointed time to pick those up was 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday, so I showed up at the designated location about 4 o’clock and WHOA! A gigantic long line that wasn’t moving at all. So I figured there must be some kind of glitch […]

‘Ziz’ Misgendered and Other Highlights of Tuesday’s Court Hearing for Cult Suspects

Rebecca Francoeur-Breeden is an attorney with the public defender’s office in Allegany County, Maryland, who probably never expected she’d be representing three members of a nationally notorious Radical Vegan Transgender Death Cult, but who can predict such things? So we’re all sitting there in District Court in Cumberland — me and about a half-dozen other […]

Bail Hearing Today for Cult Suspects UPDATE: Judge Orders All Three ‘Extremists’ Held Without Bond

CUMBERLAND, Maryland The first court appearance for Jack LaSota, Michelle Zajko and Daniel Blank — the leader and two members of what the Associated Press has politely called a “cultlike group” — starts at 11 a.m. ET. Drove 70 miles to cover this hearing, and I’ve got about a five-block walk to the courthouse from the […]

MUGSHOTS: Jack ‘Ziz’ LaSota, Michelle ‘Jamie’ Zajko, Daniel ‘Hastur’ Blank

All three suspects are currently inmates of the Allegany County Detention Center in Cumberland, Maryland, after being arrested Sunday by Maryland State Trooper Brandon Jeffries on charges that included trespassing, unlawful possession of a firearm, disorderly conduct and other misdemeanors. LaSota, known as “Ziz,” is the leader of what the Associated Press has politely called […]
