๐Ÿ—ž๏ธToday's NYT reporting:

"Trump said this, then Trump said that. Trump did this, and then Trump did that. Trump did that, and now Trump's doing this. Trump wants this, now Trump wants that."

NO JOURNALISM
NO CONTEXT
NO FACT-CHECKING

They basically just takes notes for the MF'er, and print it.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. Itโ€™s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Letโ€™s get a grip on whatโ€™s happening here.

๐Ÿงต An open letter to the US Open and USTA:

Trump will attend the #USOpen as a guest of ROLEX. Yesterday, Trump declared 'WAR' on Chicago. The USTA has called for media censorship of dissent against Trump today.

I played NCAA tennis many years ago and still play. Today I resign my #USTA membership.

โ€œThe Open is supposed to be New Yorkโ€™s tournament, brash and democratic, rowdy and unfiltered, vibrant and exuberantly multicultural, where the crowd is as much a character as the players on the court.โ€

The more coverage a story gets, the more important readers think it is.

So it matters when the NYT inflates flimsy Dem โ€˜scandalsโ€™ while downplaying real, criminal ones from Trump and Republicans. Itโ€™s not just bad judgment โ€” it shapes public perception.

In other news, yesterday I called on the four biggest streaming providers to carry C-SPAN. It's increasingly hard to find non-partisan, independent coverage about what's going on in government, and making C-SPAN easier to access for everyone is a good place to start.

Can you read cursive? It's a superpower the National Archives is looking for. The National Archives is looking for volunteers with an increasingly rare skill: Reading cursive.
