The NYT's top editor did an "interview" with a staff sycophant and the result was an embarrassment to him and his organization. Press critic Dan Froomkin explains why:

Trainwreck? In October 2024, The Economist called Biden's economy "the envy of the world."
BARTIROMO: What are you expecting the president's economic message to be?

SEN. McCORMICK: I think the message is that we inherited a trainwreck from the Biden administration and we made a lot of progress

The Trump regime's assault on immigrants does not really target "the worst of the worst." Its aim: to make America whiter.
The crackdown on colleges does not really target antisemitism. Its aim: to crush dissent.
The murders of boat crews is not really about drugs. Its aim: to grab Venezuela's oil.

Honestly it’s real useful to understand that centrists are eager to meet fascists in the middle but not anybody else lol

Walmart hiking the price of their own brand of canned dog food by 36 cents a can (almost $11 more for a month’s supply) is, to me, price gouging.😡

The Supreme Court of the United States is an illegitimate body, and every Democrat should run on negating and replacing it
#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three democratic appointees, #SCOTUS puts Texas's new House maps back into effect for (and, presumably, through) the 2026 midterms.

The three Democratic appointees, in an opinion by Justice Kagan, dissent.

I'll post the ruling shortly.

The Supreme Court has reinstated the Trump-inspired gerrymandered congressional map in Texas after it was blocked by a lower court, with the Roberts court once again putting its thumb on the scale to weaken protections for minority voters and entrench GOP political power.
The Roberts court just helped Trump rig the midterms

This normalizes corruption, feeding the sentiment that both sides suck and so politics is pointless. A Dem party focused on rehabilitating its broken brand would be criticizing Trump and booting out Cuellar. Let the corrupt guys become corporate lobbyists - they’re dragging our party down.
Jeffries claims the charges against Cueller were "very thin" and says Trump's pardon was "exactly the right outcome"

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.

Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

If the facts challenges their assumptions so be it. But "how can I use this to stick it to the libs" is an editorial choice, not a factual one.

TRUMP: If you’re trafficking drugs to the U.S. via the Caribbean I will kill you.

ALSO TRUMP: If you’re doing time because you helped traffic 400 tons of cocaine to the U.S. via Honduras you get a “Full and Complete Pardon.”

Literal Republican doctrine: Trump isn’t even responsible for things he does let alone what his direct reports do but everyone in this demographic we don’t like is responsible for one random person in it.
"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.
It didn’t even take 6 hours.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail
