It’s like rooting for the Mudville 9: down by 3, 9th innings, Rice is up 6th. If they can somehow get to Rice, they have a chance!

Last week AG Sulzberger XXVI bragged that Trump thought NYT was “jewel” because nothing says doing a great job in objectively covering corrupt authoritarian than chasing after their love.

(3) No reporter is going to ask Trump about this, because only Democrats are held to standards, but make him defend both his inability to speak and his constant threats towards Democratic cities.

It is possible that what Trump meant to say was that we should pay $2 more per gallon in order for Iran not to take out Los Angeles or San Diego, but (1) what he actually said was exactly what @atrupar.com wrote (2) he actively hates on CA, so why give him the benefit of the doubt ...

Pretty amazing for the Yankees to get both Schlittler and Rice from Massachusetts, must really sting Red Sox fans!

The unqualified rapture of the Chicago crowd if the Pope showed up the World Series would break what is left of Trump's sanity.

This Yankees game has been really hard to watch so far: I have never felt so lucky them to be down by just 1 run.

Sure they hate the Cardinals on the North Side, but presumably they are OK on the South Side :)

I like to think the Pope is up past 2 AM in Vatican City watching his White Sox come from behind to take 2-0 lead over the Guardians. Maybe he is forcing a few befuddled Cardinals learn about baseball.

Entire time listening to @theresthistory.bsky.social on The Terror, I keep thinking how everyone heading to guillotine had to be thinking some version of: 'I never thought leopards would eat MY face.'

After years of vigorously backing efforts to force universities to accommodate more right-wing extremists, NYT spent entire summer/fall of 2024 demanding clamp down on student protestors, then buried defunding & censoring of 2025-6 as both-sided partisan issue (when they were just ignoring it).

0112

David Rothschild @davmicrot.bsky.social · 7h

I think a lot about how NYT is very invested in protecting what they call the "free press" (i.e., Corporate Media's access to Republican Elite) at the same time they back Republican Elite's attacks on free speech (e.g., defunded & censuring universities teaching, jailing & deporting protestors).

If he were the Republican Speaker of House today, Trump would pardon him, praise him, and everyone knows it.

Critical to re-asserting rule-of-law & democracy is holding those who undermined rule-of-law & democracy, the most, accountable both legally & civilly for their crimes against US. Key question: who would be the minimum necessary group of defendants to both punish & disincentivize future copy-cats?

David Rothschild @davmicrot.bsky.social · 11h

❌ onerous taxes on working families (i.e., tariffs) ❌ paramilitary raids on hardworking immigrants ❌ endless wars in Middle East ❌ explosive diarrhea (i.e., defunding federal government) ❌ $10s of billions in corruption for Trump Family

0162

David Rothschild @davmicrot.bsky.social · 12h

I am not just upset by the crimes the plutocrats are blazingly committing against US now, but their lack of even bothering to hide the crimes shows their terrifying feeling of impunity which will power even worse crimes in the future.

David Rothschild @davmicrot.bsky.social · 15h

Really makes you think about how the New York Times would describe Joseph Goebbels today. Focus on his fierceness & nimbleness for his boss, not his hate & degenerate lying for his boss?

081

David Rothschild @davmicrot.bsky.social · 17h

"A fierce and nimble speaker" is a weird way to describe a hateful degenerate liar.

Every few months NYT runs headline article about Jared & Steve’s multi-$billion corruption undermining US foreign policy, then NYT spends months treating Jared & Steve running US foreign policy as completely normal…daily pro-Jared narrative infinitely more impactful than isolated pro-truth articles.

Trump is pushing 30% approval and he is holding off on the even worse & unpopular stuff (abortion bans, more war, pushing millions off of any healthcare) until after the midterms.

0298

David Rothschild @davmicrot.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

It is unnerving that the President is having very public break with reality, but comforting that @jaketapper.bsky.social is on his 4 year journey of self-discovery deep in Andes, and won’t need to hear about any of this until he returns to US @ exactly 12 PM ET on January 20, 2029.

NYT: time to check back in on your chosen candidate.

David Rothschild @davmicrot.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Generally we remember tight series wins, but absolutely demolishing the Red Sox in 2 games is certainly going to be hard for Yankee fans to forget.

Hate watching baseball with "neutral" announcers, I want the announcers wiling my team to victory along with me.

David Rothschild @davmicrot.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

We squander our allies, our economy, our men & women in uniform, and Trump does not even have the respect to tell US why? Too much coverage gets lost in weeds of the fiasco, but the bottom line is that this war is insane, absolutely bonkers. And everyone responsible for it should be held to account.

0171

David Rothschild @davmicrot.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Bush spent over a year lying to US, pressuring corporate media & other elites into line, before he started his stupid quagmire in Iraq Trump has not even bothered to lie to US about why we attacked Iran and what we plausible hope to gain: he simply demands that we all sacrifice $1,000s/year for him

Skipped from 1770’s to 1960’s? Send me to fight the rebels who want to own slaves, send me to fight the autocrats who want to carve up the free world, send me to fight the Nazis.

David Rothschild @davmicrot.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Assume you are a low information voter, you hear many people like you are realigning to Trump and all of Corporate Media is amplifying this without any caveats. Easy to think that that it cannot be a terrible idea, right? If Trump were going to terrorize US, Corporate Media would sounds alarm?

2130

David Rothschild @davmicrot.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

You & me knew Trump was going to quickly deport hard-working law-abiding immigrants & impose onerous tariffs on US, but NYT & Corporate Media relentlessly promoted Latinos were aligning with Trump because they believed he was going to slash inflation & protect good immigrants, never correcting them.

It is wild to be reminded that the Pope is American, and roots for the White Sox.

Side note to story is that Axios was *collaborating with* Schmitt today..

End product is embarrassing clip that will run for few hours on MSNow/BlueSky rather than FoxNews/X. But while Senator is absurdly drowning on misinformation & hatred & stupidity, that will not stop Corporate Media from touting him as serious leader due to fact that he is typical of Republican Elite

4193

David Rothschild @davmicrot.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Easy to focus on how senator uses abusive language on public servant OR how he embarrasses himself by accusing public servant of perjury due to senator's own stupidity. But important to note that all senator cares about is FoxNews/X clip around subpoenas that most Americans rightly don't care about.

David Rothschild @davmicrot.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Way too little discussion about fact Republican Elite (1) live in twisted fantasy information echochamber run by Musk & Murdoch & Mercer & other right-wing billionaires that destroys their sense of reality & incentive to govern (2) are absurd people without decency, shame, love for neighbor or US.

For decades we have been saying: maybe Democrats should run ads that simply quote Republicans saying horrible things about their own constituents. But Democratic consultants convinced Democrats that that would be too effective. So, this is validating to watch. Also, always hated false civility.

Turns out The Cornell Daily's strategy of speaking truth to power is way more positively impactful than NYT & Corporate Media's strategy of using power to crush truth.

According to Corporate Media, the rapid success of Don Jr. & Eric's new defense contractors, while their father is president and starting absurd wars, is about 1/1000 as important as Hunter Biden selling a few pieces of art.

David Rothschild @davmicrot.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Few things were more formative to me than my confusion & frustration, despite knowing many Republicans at the time, that every single person I knew thought the Iraq War was absurd but Corporate Media fired every person against the War & hid massive opposition to the War. It was insanely demoralizing

David Rothschild @davmicrot.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

If President Trump wanted unbridled love & admiration he should stop by the Washington Post newsroom.

Willie, along with Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, John Prine, Waylon Jennings have successors in The Chicks, Brandi Carlile, and others. But, so much of the pop country has lost its heart & soul, its love & solidary with working Americans, embracing the faux derisive populism of MAGA.

80 y/o Neil Young playing "Are There Any More Real Cowboys? with 93 y/o Willie Nelson. Country music used to be about love, solidarity, nature, hard-work, family & neighbors & country. Lots of chatter online about some pop country song, it does not have this soul. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXcP...

In 2024 NYT & Corporate Media were laser focused on the need to expel university students & fire presidents for too much free speech. In 2025 NYT & Corporate Media quietly watched aa Trump ended free speech in universities, deported students, and defunded research.

David Rothschild @davmicrot.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

NYT 2024: Biden is old & pathetic, he needs to go now. NYT 2026: Trump has done things involving moving money from one place to another that many people may construe as expanding the definition of the nature of law, in some contexts. We trust Trump voters, but questions may be raised at some point.
