That article, I learned, was deeply flawed. SCOTUS later quietly corrected Gorsuch’s opinion.
It’s a key strategy for a White House that often uses lies and distortions to advance its agenda. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/briefing/donald-trump-press.html
It comes out next Tuesday. Please spread the word! https://www.harpercollins.com/products/murder-the-truth-david-enrich?variant=42734343421986
It’s also just a tad ironic that the publishing paper played a not insignificant role in elevating Trumpism with its criminally docile coverage of him for 10+ years now.

Any journalist worth their salt knows better than to repeat the fucking lies that spew from this disastrous piece of shit, better known as Putin's girlfriend
It makes zero sense to have a practical agenda of moving policy and nudging the needle when the predicates are based in lies and distortions.
Gorsuch instead appt'd a small-business att'y, an intent'l Fuck-the-Sixth injustice.
See Dahda v. US, 138 S.Ct. 1491 (2018)
Another thing I didn't even know was possible.
Yes.
The people will support free truthful press! 💙💙💙💪💪
