Media Matters analyzed a year of NYT coverage of anti-trans bills and found that 66% of the time the paper didn't quote a trans person. Further, it found that the paper often quoted right wing sources without mentioning their histories of anti-trans rhetoric.
So "right-wing rag" is pretty accurate.

Rep Jason Crow (D-CO): β€œI went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurism”

A call script for elected representatives: U.S. attack on Iran: 

YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m a constituent from [ZIP CODE]. 

YOU: I’m calling to demand [MOC/SENATOR] take urgent action after the United States joined Israel in launching strikes on Iran today.  

YOU: The Trump administration has again taken military action without any specific Congressional authorization. President Trump has also confirmed that the U.S. has undertaken β€œmajor operations” in Iran and has also said β€œU.S. lives might be lost.” 

YOU: I am calling on [MOC/SENATOR] to call for the following actions immediately:  

- Public clarification on the scope of U.S. involvement
- Call for and support support the Khanna–Massie War Powers Resolution in the House.
- Oppose ANY funding for military escalation without Congressional authorization. 

YOU: Are we or are we not at war with Iran? Congress needs to answer this question, and do it quickly. 

YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENTS – e.g. Clarify you’d like a written response]

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Thanks to the OBBB, Amazon’s tax bill for 2025 is $1.2 billion, down from $9 billion the year before despite a 45% jump in profits.

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

Exclusive: White House uses USAID funds for budget director Vought's security, documents show The White House budget office is using millions of dollars from the former U.S. foreign aid agency to pay for the security detail of Russell Vought, President Donald Trump's budget chief and an archit...

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.

It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.

Vought is a mass murderer.

What’s funny about Late Capitalism vs. OG Capitalism is that they’re not just different things but, in many ways, opposites. Take β€œtoo big to fail,” for example. Capitalism is based on failure! In feudalism the lords couldn’t fail, so they made a system where bad things collapsed and were replaced.

While Amazon touts the surveillance state enabled by its Ring cameras, remember...

Amazon's U.S. tax bill dropped by 87% in 2025, mostly thanks to Trump's tax cuts.

Meanwhile, its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion β€” and it announced 30,000 job cuts.

Is this the world we want to live in?

The Trump administration is deporting a Christian minister back to the country that tortured him, which seems like the kind of thing the Religious Right would care about if a dirty Democrat were doing it.

No one seriously thought you left one of your kids behind at Pedophile Paradise. The issue is that you insisted Epstein was a monster that you'd never be with again, and then you took the entire Lutnick Extended Universe to bask in his presence.

DHS should be abolished. Visiting high schools where people vote has nothing to do with its mandate.Suppressing the vote improves the security of no one.
