A $50 billion government bailout for farmers who are impacted by Trump's tariffs and one of the biggest beneficiaries will be his Treasury Secretary. Same folks who otherwise call this stuff socialism but hypocrisy is their game and shoulder shrugging it off is the media's.

The quintessential right wing move of the modern day. Say the most inflammatory shit on social media and then when you're confronted with said inflammatory shit act shocked SHOCKED that anyone would accuse you of anything untoward.

It's cute how we pretend that the refs aren't on the take. Like, quietly and then suddenly, right wing billionaires basically took over the entire media landscape and the idea you can just run a 1990s playbook of fact checking press conferences with THIS version of journalists is a pipe dream.

The irony of Trump using "DEI" to purge the upper ranks at the Pentagon of women and men of color and suing colleges if they god forbid have a diversity office is that Bari Weiss has ZERO QUALIFICATIONS to be the EIC of CBS News. Like, the poster child for a DEI hire!

Wow, the New York Post is really going after Mamdani ... sorry, I'm being told this is the New York *Times* 🙃

I wonder which the media will ignore harder, that Trump officials seriously considered sending the 82nd Airborne into Portland or another example of Trump officials casually using messaging apps to discuss sensitive information.

The assumption that the American body politic would reflexively reject stuff you see in third world dictatorships turned out to be complete bullshit

"politics" doing A LOT of work in this headline 🙄

Could not imagine having dedicated my entire adult life to the military - been sent all around the world, fought in wars, and the untold stress it placed on my family - and rise to the top of the ranks only to have to listen to this guy. I don't think I could handle it.

A lot (all?) of the media's coverage of Kirk's killing focused on the shooter's ideology. Fine. But seems weird the NYT buried this little nugget about the guy who killed 4 people at a Mormon Church at the end of the story and also immediately discounted its relevance. 🤔

The Ryder Cup is a perfect microcosm for America in 2025 - overhyped, performatively chesty, whiny, and boorish. IOW, a 'complete embarrassment'

I hate to say it, but she is not ready for prime time. I have a REALLY bad feeling she is going to blow the NJ governor's race. Getting pummeled on TV and social media and not doing much other than blah blah I was a helicopter pilot. Ain't gonna cut it in NJ this year.

started/going

This you?

As to Trump, none of this matters b/c no matter how corruptly he is attempting to interfere in the process, John Roberts handed him a magic immunity cloak for any of his official acts

The Times is a fundamentally broken institution as it relates to politics. Book reviews? Still great. Love Wirecutter. Do the crossword every day, but this headline is so laughable on its face, I can't believe it made it past an editor as if Trump *ever* cared about this.

If Trump's DOJ was not engaging in such a wanton abuse of power and taking an additional step toward the elimination of the rule of law in our country, I'd be dunking on this shit head constantly for thinking he had the right to play God in 2016.

Respectfully, polling in NJ in the 2021 Gov race & 2024 Presidential was not great and overstated D support. I live here and you underestimate an R win at your peril. Sherrill could easily lose this race. Neither party has won three straight elections since 1961 and the D "brand" is not great

"I helped Trump win the presidency and all I got was this lousy indictment" 🙃

Respectfully, polling is worthless. Like, literally it means nothing when there is no accountability and no risk of consequences b/c congressional districts are gerrymandered and the Supreme Court is in Trump's pocket. His approval could be 0% and it literally would make no difference at all.

Four years of nothing but the media doing heat checks on Biden's mental and physical capabilities but complete and utter disinterest in doing any further follow up on whatever the fuck is happening in this photo.

"we're so back" 🙄

I know the Times is Trump's mouthpiece but you can't close an investigation b4 seeing if Homan would have followed through on his offer of help in getting govt contracts in exchange for the money he was (allegedly) given and then say you couldn't prove the case!

I don't know fam, maybe I just care a wee bit more about this stuff than The Washington Post, but scrubbing national parks of historical information that doesn't please Dear Leader is really not a great look for democracy and should probably be highlighted a bit more

The level of corruption really beggars belief. Per reporting, Homan CAUGHT ON TAPE (allegedly) taking $50K as part of a sting operation where he offered to steer govt contracts to undercover FBI agents and then <poof> the case disappears as soon as Trump gets back in office.

I know this won't stop the right wing from trying to make fetch happen, but in so many words what MSNBC canned Matthew Dowd for appears to be the working theory of the case (that hateful words led to someone engaging in a hateful act).

Describing insufficient evidence for prosecution as a "roadblock" is a VERY weird way to phrase things but then again, I'm not an editor at the NYT

Cannot be said enough how much the "just Trump being Trump" excuse is baked into ignoring shit that were it said by Joe Biden would have immediately triggered a blizzard of "Is It Time To Invoke The 25th Amendment" stories.

The broadcast and cable news networks are going to comply.

Scratch that. They’re already complying.

Get ready for North Korea style news.

I'm not sure giving the Trump team an "atta boy" for crushing protected speech is the way I would frame this but I'm not an editor at the New York Times
