Summary

Jonah returns to the classic Ruminant format for the end of the week, which turned out to be a rather newsy, strange sequence of days. From Jeffrey Toobin’s seminal moment (not the one you’re thinking of), to Kamala Harris’ Skeletor-like tactic for dodging questions, all the way to a story about taxation that Jonah thinks has more going on in it than most people think (it may even break “one of the most sacred compacts of government”), this episode brings us reeling back through the mists of time all the way to… last summer, when Jonah was doing this every Friday. Show notes: Jeffrey Toobin continues to help himself on CNN, in spite of our protestations Politico’s Playbook, and their analysis of Kamala’s Guatemala visit “Her greatest hypocrisy is in her pretense that she is a woman.” The painfully awkward Lester Holt/Kamala Harris interview “Some of his sentences give me the same sensation as falling backward in one of those ‘trust’ exercises, in which you just have to hope things work out.” Texas bans COVID vaccine passports A black-owned bus company helped to fight segregation .The ProPublica tax… thing De Blasio thinks there’s enough money in NYC - it’s just in “the wrong hands” The Remnant with Brian Riedl “The Hop Bird” The Wednesday “news”letter Audrey Fahlberg’s piece on the Maricopa County “audit” Learn more about your ad choices.
