The headline should have said "National Security issues". Or "World Security issues" for that matter.

“Look. Do we want to be journalists or do we want to ride on that plane?” - editorial’s response

There’s a jet on the tarmac—bought by Qatar, handed to a Trump. And we’re supposed to call that diplomacy? It’s not a gift. It’s a transaction. And we are the ones being sold. 🌓✨

The emoluments clause isn't a suggestion.

The NYT is where journalism goes to have all sense of the truth and this moment in history stripped from it.

The NYT is one of Trump's Stepford wives - forever preening about appearances, pretending all is well, and glitching spastically when reality gets to be too much for it.
