Source: DANIEL HEUER / Getty U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi just committed what would equate to a cardinal sin in the Trump administration: she unwittingly credited the Biden administration with a steep decline in U.S. drug overdose deaths.

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Cassandras make their arguments in simple and straightforward ways. They’re earnest. They don’t bury their politics in 12 layers of eye-rolling irony or pad it out with jargon or clever-sounding phrases. All this sincerity would become negatively associated with femininity throughout the Trump era. There would be a trend toward “considering earnestness cringe,” to use […]
