The @nytimes.com is pathetic. After reading some of Trump's posts over the weekend I looked at the website to see how they were covered. They weren't. The Times leadership is making every effort to cover to Trump.

How can the @nytimes.com justify normalizing Trump? I’ve read his posts and looked at the NY Times website… people reading the Times would have no idea how crazy Trump is.

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

How can the @nytimes.com suck so badly at writing headlines? Trump is not trying to address integrity in elections, he's trying to undermine the elections.
Headline on NYTimes that starts with "In demanding steps to address integrity of voting.."

Just a reminder that the @chicagotribune.com is owned by Alden Global Capital, a large NY hedge fund run by Trump Supporters.

It’s “outcomeism”. Just look at who benefits and that will tell you how SCOTUS will rule.

The 'conservative' majority on the Supreme Court isn't originalist, they're outcomists. You can accurately predict every ruling by looking at who will benefit from their decision. Time to pack the court and eliminate lifetime appointments.

What the hell is wrong with the @nytimes.com? They're determined to make Trump seem normal.
NY Times headline saying "Trump Says He Never Promised No New Wards and Defends Compensation Fund" with no mention of Trump walking off the set, calling Welker corrupt or Stupid.

Every drug I checked on the Trump RX site shows the same discount you could get on the manufacturers site or at Costco/GoodRx. He drug companies were happy to play along and pretend they were actually lowering prices.

👇🎯 This. A 9-member life-tenure SCOTUS has <always> been democratically illegitimate. There are rationales for non-elected institutions within a democracy (e.g., independent central banks). The problem is the Court also ignores law, the Constitution, data, evidence, precedent, & empirical reality.

The GOP is a party built on lies. They lie about everything, trivial and important.

the irony is that there are many journalists who are threatened and killed for their work globally, except they don’t overlap at all with the people willing to attend the MAGA White House correspondent’s dinner

I’m also grateful that everyone is safe and agree that violence has no place. But, this years event isn’t dedicated to the first amendment and a free press. It’s dedicated to corporate media going along with the destruction of the free press.
