Meanwhile the President just yesterday said an assassinated journalist deserved it and celebrated his killer
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

Trump is the pedo protector and if a democrat operated like this that’s what the gop would have been saying for months. A few Dems have said it (credit to Jeffries) but it’s just not a sustained drum beat.

Also… Trump’s “piggy” insult to the reporter was tweeted out Friday night by a CBS (former Bloomberg) reporter … but it seems to have gone largely under the radar til the People story.

Took our son to a truck pull in SE Mass. in the summer of 2016. Not as many Trump flags in the parking lots as I feared, but way, way more Confederate ones than I ever would have imagined. Total culture shock.
A poster whose name I forget pointed out that when he grew up in rural Iowa he never saw Confederate flags because it wasn't the South but now they're everywhere.
I think the best case for this is that "the South" no longer has a distinct political culture, with urban regions of the South being largely similar to suburb-heavy northern metros and rural areas of the North largely being Dixiefied

Speaking at a Texas Tribune Festival on Friday, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg criticized the Democratic Party for failing to reach everyday Americans, arguing that it “got sucked in” to a conversation about identity. #TribFest25

One very easy way for the New York Times to escape the constant criticism which it has found itself subject to these last years would be for it to stop acting in ways that completely justify all of the constant criticism which it has found itself subject to these last years.
New York Times social media guidelines prohibit expression suggesting partiality on things like ICE, execution of foreigners in fishing boats, or whether law is a thing.
However, tipping off notorious serial pedophiles about other reporters is absolutely fine.
