I haven’t researched this, but how does Andrew have any money? He’s not a prince anymore and is basically leeching off his brother the king. Does he have a job?
I remember years ago when I was working at Westwood One, the low-rent radio network, they were very interested in doing something with Andy’s ex Sarah.
Never happened. She likely wanted too much money.

New Jersey suburbanites, he argues, didn’t suddenly turn into democratic socialists. But they think the Democratic establishment has been feckless, and they want representatives who won’t consult a focus group before battling the president. “The underlying message,” he said, is that Democratic voters believe their party “should be on a war footing with Donald Trump.”

@nprofile…cpfy Absolutely.
I’m just pointing out that Cassidy thought he could score points with Trump by voting to confirm Kennedy when as an actual doctor he clearly knew Junior was completely unqualified for the job.
But he didn’t grovel enough for Trump because, in the end, no one can.
Letlow, of course, is yet another Republican stooge, but Trump likes her (for now) because she pledged fealty to him even before announcing her candidacy.

Dr. Cassidy surrendered his soul and violated the Hippocratic Oath to put RFK, Jr. in charge of American health policy and what did that get him?
Defeated, probably.

“Many place the blame for the paper’s troubles at the feet of Will Lewis, a former executive at the Telegraph Media Group and Dow Jones who became the Post’s publisher and CEO in late 2023. “We haven’t heard it from Will Lewis because he hasn’t said anything to us in more than a year,” Kaplan said.

“In addition to closing down its sports department and books section, the Post has elected to shutter a number of the paper’s foreign bureaus, which have long supported the work of DC-based national security correspondents. Politics reporters and editors—at least ten—are being let go, including the desk’s enterprise editor, an experienced campaign reporter, and a breaking politics news reporter. The paper will drastically shrink its San Francisco bureau and lay off its Amazon correspondent.”
