ROGER KIMBALL: I have a bone to pick with Tulsi Gabbard.

Lee Smith, author of Disappearing the President: Trump, Truth Social, and the Fight for the Republic, zeros in on the role of John Brennan in fomenting the plot against Trump, concluding that, “It seems appropriate that Russian intelligence may lead to the prosecution and conviction of Brennan and the intelligence officials responsible for the biggest political scandal in US history.”

The coming weeks will tell us whether any indictments and prosecutions will be forthcoming. Tulsi Gabbard says that more evidence is coming. The mood of country seems to favor accountability. Were I a betting man, I would say the odds favor some high-profile prosecutions. I acknowledge that all of our experience regarding the campaign against Trump, which was also a campaign against the American voters, argues that we’ll have excited palaver, not prosecutions. But those wishing measured people like John Brennan for an orange suit, I suspect, will not be disappointed.

If that happens, I will be grateful to, not irritated with, DNI Tulsi Gabbard.

BOTTOM STORY OF THE DAY: Jonathan Capehart Becomes Latest Washington Post Writer to Exit After Bezos Revamp.

Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart is the latest prominent writer to leave the paper after owner Jeff Bezos revamped the opinion section, with the Pulitzer-winning commentator and frequent Trump critic reportedly accepting a buyout on Monday.

Capehart’s buyout was first reported by Axios. He will remain the co-host of MSNBC’s “The Weekend” and will still be a panelist on PBS “NewsHour” after leaving WaPo, where he has been since 2007.

Terms of the buyout deal were not disclosed and Washington Post reps did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.

The Wrap notes that “President Trump has been a go-to target for Capehart for several years, and his final story for WaPo, published in late May, includes a conversation with Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison on ‘countering’ the president.” How would Ellison do that? Oh wait:

Also, in a novel comparison that no one else in the media world could envision, Capehart “compared a rally [Trump] had at Madison Square Garden last year to a Nazi rally at MSG in 1939.” These media comparisons seemed just slightly off, even at the time:

Not to mention these guys:

As Mark Judge wrote in April when Capehart stepped down from the Post’s editorial board:  Jonathan Capehart’s WaPo Hissy Fit. “Yet as one delves into the details of why Capehart walked, it’s Capehart himself who looks pretty bad. Imperious, while at the same time hyper-sensitive; self-righteous while morally confused; resentful while equally obtuse; ideologically brainwashed and thus incapable of independent thought, Jonathan Capehart is everything wrong with journalism in 2025. No wonder Jeff Bezos is scrambling to sweep out the stables at The Washington Post.”

Much faster, please.

JOHN HENRY SMILES: Exhausted man defeats AI model in world coding championship.

IT’S COME TO THIS: San Francisco employers are hiring etiquette coaches for Gen Z.

They want to be promoted after only a few months, treat the office like their bedroom, show up in sweats or skimpy office-siren fits, FaceTime friends from their desks, and ghost their managers.

This is the gist of employer complaints about Gen Z workers, who seem to be  having a uniquely hard time getting along in the office — much worse, managers say, than the generations before them. In a December 2024 survey of 1,000 employers by Intelligent.com, 12.5% said a Gen Z candidate had brought Mom or Dad to a job interview. The bosses are fed up.

Gen Zers, meanwhile, see things differently: From their perspective, millennial and Gen X managers have no work-life balance. “No cap. My manager Slacks me at 10 p.m.,” said Kevin, a 23-year-old engineer who lives in SoMa. “That’s not OK.” It appears to be  a common theme. “Still waiting for that work-life balance they promised us,” one young person tweeted in response to a complaint about Gen Z employees.

The generational divide has become starker in the past few months, as return-to-office policies have brought in Gen Zers for the first time — in many cases after years of working and attending school remotely. In the Bay Area, the culture clash has led employers to a new solution: hiring etiquette experts to train young employees in basic workplace manners.

Rosalinda Randall, a Marin-based etiquette coach, said inquiries have risen 50% over the last two months. The requests come from tech campus managers, winery execs, and even country clubs. All are a variation on the same complaint: Gen Z employees are treating the office like an extension of their homes.

Mister we could use a man like Lee Ermey again.
