We need more, but credit where due: both The Nation (June 2024 issue) and Boston Review have run a breakdown of the Project 2025 “Mandate for Leadership” document. Media Matters, too. Lots of good work going on digesting this.

I got a pretty bad feeling this doesn't stop with President Biden. If he were to drop out, I feel like we'd see a deluge of media criticism for Vice President Harris or Gov. Whitmer or Gov. Newsom or Sec. Buttigieg or any other Democrat while Trump gets a pass. Call it a hunch.

Surely reporters will be asking Trump and his campaign to identify the things on Project 2025 he disagrees with and what part are "absolutely ridiculous and abysmal" His own people wrote the fucking thing. So get the answers. Obsess over this for a change

Joe in Madison is powerful, strong, charismatic, energetic, able. @JoeBiden is my candidate. I am enthusiastic about him. Do not disenfranchise me. Do not try to cancel my vote. Fuck you, New York Times, Washington Post, Economist and all you baying institutions, each too old.

Joe Biden refusing to take advice from people who have been wrong about everything for decades could be seen as an indication his brain is still working

New Yorker wants Joe Biden, whose admin has had historical success, to resign bc he's not doing well at running for re-election. This is not, in fact, what the 25th Amendment was made for.

There are many things that infuriate me about the pundit class right now, but probably one of the top on my list: Project 2025 has posted their plans for every single federal department on their website. They have a training academy for prospective appointees. Where are the hard hitting op-eds?

With all this talk about fitness for office, it’s worth noting flagrant criminality, treason, and rape are not considered by the press to be relevant.

“The legacy media, spearheaded by The NY Times, have been vicious toward Biden and wildly irresponsible since last Thursday. I feel like the Times’s leadership is trying to force Biden out of the race in the same way they forced Claudine Gay to resign the presidency of Harvard…”

That any elected officials participated in J6 is disturbing. That some of those folks also have prior records is bonkers.This guy's on a school board & has a been arrested for drunken driving & other crimes. He says he won't step down. That level of cognitive dissonace screams evangelical

In my family, we were told that the *minimum* requirements for American citizens were: 1) pay your taxes 2) serve on juries, when called 3) vote With all due disrespect (and a hearty WT actual F?!) to The NY Times, I’ll be sticking with Grandma (rest her soul) on this one.

5/ The reason so many here are criticizing @washingtonpost.com and @nytimes.com et al. is that they are only covering one of those stories. By ignoring the real questions about Trump they are creating not merely a distorted picture of this election, but a false one.
They are failing at journalism.

Yes, Trump has been legally determined to be a rapist. Because too many people somehow don’t seem to know this.

In their confirmation hearings, the Republican majority swore under oath that the President was not above the law.
This week, they insisted that the President is not just above the law, but is entitled to absolute immunity for his actions.
Happy 4th!

Giving up hope is also complying with authoritarians in advance. It’s saying that fascism is inevitable, that there is no other way to be. I know it’s hard to keep hope alive, but I hope you find a way. ❤️
