NYT says their performance on Threads today was an aberration, & not indicative of deeper problems they've had with social media. Unfortunately, that hasn't satisfied many observers whose concerns are growing louder. The stakes are too high. For the good of the news, the Times should step aside

A CHILD MOLESTER has won the Republican nomination for president for the third time in a row, and the media says he won the debate so the other guy— the incumbent POTUS — should drop out.

Just this:

Trump said he has “no idea” who’s behind #Project2025. But one glance at the table of contents of the 922-page mandate, you’ll find that a long list of top ranking Trump officials literally *wrote* the plan and run the project.🤥 #Velshi www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...

Project 2025 and Heritage have stuck to Trump and the GOP in ways seemingly no other issue has. It's the first time I've seen them play actively defensive on an issue instead of brushing it off.

The “incoherent” presidential immunity decision from #SCOTUS is “one of the worst decisions in all of constitutional history,” says top legal scholar Akhil Amar. A decision so awful, it renders the “Constitution itself unconstitutional.” #Velshi www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...

The thing that's obvious to everyone and that nobody can actually write in the press is that the American (and yes, I'm sure elsewhere too) right wing is led by bad people and the object is to make more people extremely bad in basically every respect. It's anti-society

Keep hammering the point home. Trump absolutely backs Project 2025, because it profits him and stands to give him all of the dictatorial power he craves. Don't fall for his bullshit. The man lies the way fish swim; he literally can't stop.

The fact that Trump is actually weakly attempting to pretend he doesn’t back Project 2025 = EXACTLY why you need to be telling everyone you know about their evil, violent plans.

The biggest issue with Biden coverage is that he’s now The Story, which means that most of the press is focused on The Story and not any of the context or consequences. If we were having a serious discussion about qualifications for presidency, age, and the two main candidates, I’d be fine with it.

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

The Kansas Supreme Court reaffirmed abortion protections in the state’s Constitution on Friday. It struck down Republican-backed laws that banned a common second-trimester abortion procedure and that created new licensing requirements for abortion clinics.

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

Rolling into the oval office at 11, zoning out for the intelligence briefing, whining until they let him wander away and watch fox. That was Trump every damn day

i don't have the answers; i won't pretend to have them, either. but i seriously think the question of "what about his work?" is a distraction, one designed to keep us from doing the much, much harder work of making all our spaces safe from abusers or would-be abusers.

Between now and November, this is the job.

I strongly disagree that this is a “bus shoving”. This is an “I don’t want to answer questions about it. I want to be seen as my own man. I want to maintain structural ambiguity.”

The ramped-up hits on Project 2025 must be landing — Trump just shoved it right in front of the bus

As always, I beg of all of you to read posts made to Trump's account as campaign communications and not individual rantings. This is the campaign telling the Project 2025 assholes not to screw up Trump's chances of winning.

Today in "Trump didn't write this, someone on his campaign staff did." I don't know if Kellyanne Conway is working for Trump these days but this feels more like her style, voice, and syntax than Trump or those posting on his behalf recently.
