Would very much like media to ask voters if they think Trump is too much of a convicted felon to run for president, or too corrupt, or too much of a sexual abuser, or for fucks sake, too old, and then run those stories every day.

Would like to see national outlets act accordingly. Unfortunately, the local ones are owned by private equity firms or have conservative owners who make their anchors read the same script.

Supposedly Mark Zuckerberg is now on TikTok - got a notification that several of my “friends” are now following this account. He’s got 340 followers right now and almost all of them are journalists lol.

Another successful private equity story.
Bob’s Stores has been bought, sold, gutted, and filed for bankruptcy protections about a half dozen times.
Capitalism doing what it’s designed to do: make the wealthy wealthier at the expense of everyone else.

This, by the way, is the same playbook the NYT followed re: Claudine Gay and Harvard. The NYT sets the agenda (which, coincidentally is what the bad-faith actors want even though they despise the NYT), then the other news orgs follow, then the leader resigns, then the news media moves on.

One of the other sad things is that the NYT does important journalism and it gets drowned by theses editorial decisions.

It's pretty disheartening to see the most influential news org push a narrative that, while important, is by no means the most important story right now. A week after a poor performance, the top 4 stories on the NYT homepage is about Biden's mental facilities. Meanwhile democracy dies in the open.

This is gonna be the case that gets Thomas to finally eliminate Sullivan, isn’t it?
Also an important reminder to journalists: be very careful with legal terms like “fraud” and “embezzle” when reporting on alleged corruption cases (well, any case, really).

I’ve had my morning coffee with this Jerry Garcia mug every day since my wife bought it for me in 2010. It’s been with me through the birth of two kids; the loss of four jobs; the move to two apartments and a house. To the Great Cabinet in the sky. He’s gone and nothings gonna bring him back.

Fourth of July commercials, where we are asked to celebrate our nation w/discounts on everything from hospitals (Northwell) to furniture (Bob’s Discount), hit very differently this year. Capitalism - exactly what the framers envisioned. That, and to have no king. Today’s SCOTUS wants both.

You can have concerns about Biden's age, but still be absolutely appalled about editorial choices that convey the issue as more important than the Supreme Court offering a pre-emptive thumbs up to a criminal presidency

Still going with my theory that the last good year of America was 1997, ending when news of the Clinton affair broke. Economy was booming. Avg gas price was $1.28/gal. Titanic made waves at the movies; a boy wizard got kids to read; peak Must See TV. Places were safe to go w/o fear of a shooting

I also don’t understand how this is even floated since 1) he wasn’t president at the time and 2) this is a state thing and not a federal? Then again, there are a lot of things happening right now I do not understand!

Great example of journalistic inertia: the need to have opposing view points on equal ground when one voice represents willful lies. No need to have Mike Johnson in this piece.

Thinking of this 2022 piece abt how we’ve been lucky in the US to have avoided major political violence. No member of Congress has been killed in office in more than 40 years, no potus/scotus assassinations.
Hope our luck continues. We can’t handle if it doesn’t.

And for the sequel, Miller et al know exactly what to do. That’s one of the scary parts: the incompetence of the first term will give way to people who now can pull the levers they want, aided and abetted by SCOTUS.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration at all to say the decision threatens the Republic. I might not have said so in 2015, before I saw how triumphantly lawless and autocratic the President could be, and how so many people would applaud it or at least shrug.

It’s gonna drive conservatives nuts. Good. Now we gotta get all the other Democrats in the Senate and House to back her. Of course, that won’t happen because when the party has become such a big tent, there’s more in-fighting than fighting against the clear and present danger of SCOTUS/Trump(ism)

The thing is, Biden is going to play the “we go high when they go low” card, which is also 100 percent of the problem. There is no high road. Shit, there’s not even a road anymore.

Biden at 7:45: I call on AG Garland to prosecute SCOTUS for corruption (Thomas) and Alito (insurrection), as new powers given to me as POTUS from today’s ruling. NYT, wearing a hot dog costume, at 7:46: How did we get here?

Been thinking a lot about my grandfather recently, who used to repeat "hope hope hope."
Here was a man who escaped Nazi-controlled Hungary, came to America and fell in love with singing at the age of 75.
Here he is singing "C'est Magnifique" at 92.
