Quite a difference from the online hed

They like what Trump is doing, this really isn't hard. It's not both-sideism, it's running cover for the regime by choice in order to reach a desired outcome. Can we please stop cutting this institution slack it does not deserve?

This summer, millions of Americans peacefully protested around the country to say America doesn't have kings. They'll do so again next weekend. More here: www.nokings.org

If only we had news media relentlessly devoted to aggressive nonstop coverage of supposed Presidential cognitive decline.

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

We're spending $20B to bail out Argentina, but they cut USAID down to the bone, causing deaths around the world. The entire budget of USAID, the whole agency, was $21B last year. Shameful.

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

👀"Oklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma during the Biden administration.” - GOP Gov. Kevin Stitt, the current chairman of the National Governors Association. Maybe @governor.ca.gov @govpritzker.illinois.gov's notices to the NGA are having impact?

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials. I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

"expert on *ANTI-FASCISM*" say it! say the whole word, without exception, motherfuckers! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/n...

Holding aside everything—everything—else, the President conducting very sensitive conversations with his Attorney General on an unencrypted social media platform would have been a major scandal any time before 2016. Is he DMing the CIA Director on there? The Secretary of Defense? We don’t know.

I guess I should also add that a key difference between the Trump investigation and the Comey indictment is that *Trump did something obviously and significantly wrong*. Like, if you can't grok that distinction as important, I don't know what to say.

You’ve gotta be kidding me. This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump. Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies. Really embarrassing stuff.

Someone remind me: is printing just out and out false propaganda in the newspaper about "personal liberties" or "free markets"? Someone want to ask Jeff Bezos that for me? Thanks.

"The greatest weapon that the forces of regime change possess is the fear of inevitability. If everyone believes that Mr. Trump will succeed in reshaping America, he will." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/o...

i do think it’s telling that this large chunks of this admin exist solely to create content for a social media app that doesn’t even clock into the top five most used

Play Trump saying "We Took Freedom Of Speech Away" on loop forever and ever and ever in every fucking corner of the country.

The walk back, it is real

It is gauche and unfair to point out that there’s zero firewall between this organization’s reporting and editorial departments. One does the anti-progressive bidding of the other, and we have to pretend it’s normal and doesn’t matter

The thing about a vote to overturn democracy is that it is fundamentally illegitimate. The moment the vote passes and democracy ends, the idea that voting confers legitimacy is repudiated, thereby robbing the vote of its legitimacy.

Didn't think that, in 2025 Year of Our Gritty, "opposition to Nazi Germany was bad, actually" would literally have a seat at the White House.

that the entire republican party and the supreme court have enthusiastically gone along with this is a structural issue that also needs to be solved and we cannot simply return the pre-trump status quo, yes

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

even setting aside whatever it means for the vote on the release of the epstein files, we're at a very grim place if the republicans are straight up refusing to seat people democratically elected to congress

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

Ah just $85,000 in public funds a week before she publicly announced her Delegate run! A total coincidence! It would be interesting to know who she targeted these mailers to outside of Ward 2, among the 97,750 recipients…

Yes, please. This. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

YES!!! 🧵of excerpts. “Like the founders, we should create a limited, invitation-only body – an embryonic constitutional convention – that the anti-Trump blue states exclusively set up for themselves, limit to themselves, and control.”…\1

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated. or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

No "assurance" or "promise" any Republican makes on anything is worth a single thing, at all. It has exactly zero value. Why would any Democrat agree to anything that's not a piece of legislative text, when even legislative text is ignored by the wannabe dictators of the Trump regime?

The thing is Collins and Murkowskis of the world are part of that squad. They are playing their roles and know exactly what they are doing and the reporters are playing along with that game. Q is whether Sen Dems like Shaheen, Hassan, Peters, Gillibrand, Kaine et al will keep falling for their BS?

They like what Trump's doing! Sorry to all those too blind to see it! Not my problem!
