I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning:

I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages.
We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too…
Congratulations to our astronauts and the @BlueOrigin team on the successful NS-30 launch! 10 crews – 52 people including four repeat customers – have now journeyed to space on New Shepard, each with an unforgettable experience. https://t.co/TVc2a6mxK0

It is 2025.
Imagine returning to 2020 and telling yourself that in five years the Right will have captured Twitter, The Washington Post, the Rogansphere and much of Silicon Valley, that NBC will have dumped MSNBC, that post-Zucker CNN will have returned to “both sides-ism” and that every shrill anti-Trump voice from Don Lemon to Jim Acosta to Jennifer Rubin to Joy Reid and Mehdi Hasan would be purged.
“The Washington Post‘s Opinion Section editor David Shipley resigned after owner Jeff Bezos mandated the section prioritize two topics, personal liberties and free markets, and not publish dissenting views in those areas.
Why it matters: The changes will dramatically reshape The Post’s opinion coverage, which has focused on a broad array of issues, especially politics and policy, for decades.
“This is a significant shift, it won’t be easy, and it will require 100% commitment — I respect his decision,” Bezos wrote in a note …”
The flagship of Resistance liberalism in Trump 1.0, “Democracy dies in the darkness,” has been captured and will now be transformed into promoting personal liberties and free markets.
Note: Are we allowed back on Amazon, Jeff?
Will the possibility of buying certain T-shirts, certain flags and in general certain gadgets on Amazon return? Hopefully
