New from me: The NY Times piece criticized Mamdani for using influencers to share his agenda. But negativity bias means that legacy media like the Times does not cover substantive government stories about Mamdani trying to make the government work better. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/publish/post...

New report maps a “severe” shortage of local journalists in the U.S.

The report from Rebuild Local News and Muck Rack finds that more than 1,000 counties — one out of three in the nation — do not have the equivalent of even one full-time local journalist.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

It can be true both that: the hiding/denial of Joe Biden’s mental and physical condition going into 2024 is a major story, b/c contributed to the Dem defeat in 2024, which is the reason for Everything Happening Now, and… That the current President’s mental health is also an important story.

There is no need for Medicaid work requirements because almost everyone who can work is working. What we are getting instead is Medicaid work *reporting* requirements, where people lose coverage because of administrative burdens.

By November, though, Seaborn encountered some of the problems that other Georgians say have soured their opinion on Pathways. Seaborn said he had logged his work hours into the online system once a month as required. But his benefits were canceled after he failed to complete a new form that he said the state had added without adequate warning. Seaborn said the form asked for the same information he had been submitting every month, just in a different format. The state’s Medicaid agency did not respond to questions about Seaborn’s experience or the new form.

I will just put this out there. If all the senators who are saying they want to block this bill really wanted to badly enough they could force Schumer's hand. This isn't 'if Mike Pence has courage'. A leader doesn't buck the overwhelming majority of his caucus. Doesn't happen.
