If you are not treating these as press releases, @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com, you are lying to the American people like a doctor hiding the syphilis diagnosis from the patient.

Actually two, plus their partners.

Great background here on posse comitatus, including why Trump sent Marines, rather than, say, the US Army to LA.

I love that NYT keeps showing its allegiances. Why on earth would the NYT need to weigh in on this Jerry Springer show if not to curry favor?

Let me rewrite this without the NYT obfuscation. Trump Amplifies His Own Insanity (Again) by Claiming Biden is a Robot Clone. We Use Words Like Amplify and False Claim to Sanewash the President’s Insanity —NYT

What is @cnn.com @nbcnews.com afraid of? If this is real, it is your job to confirm and report this to Trump’s subjects.

He’s on trolley tracks and hopefully he doesn’t see what’s coming.

The NYT proving, again, that it’s compromised and irrelevant. Such a shame.

Let me take a crack at rewriting this in a way that Dems still can’t figure out: Groceries are up 15% in the last four weeks, your retirement savings are down, and your credit card and home buyer rates just increased by 25%. Trump got a new jet and tax cuts for his billionaire friends. Feel good?

Life, liberty, corporate buyouts, yachts and trophy wives! Attack! I’m sorry, West Point, you had to listen to a third-grade sociopath and felon for your commencement.

The only win for journalism since, say, 2016 came on all fours.

It’s a Billionaire Bonanza, not “a big beautiful bill.” Media is stupid.

Hall monitor for Dem language again. This phrase seems to be making the rounds: reverse Robin Hood. It takes a pleasant image of Robin Hood and just adds “reverse,” like a bad good-guy. Stalin, Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, Assad are a better use of syllables, visuals and psychology.

This country was founded on the idea of habeas corpus. It's a legal term that means no government has the right to arbitrarily take your freedom away. Preserving habeas corpus is not optional. It's a fundamental concept of justice that people have fought and died for. abcnews.go.com/Politics/wh-...

“Right here in The New York Times, we’ve seen democracy in retreat,” writes A.G. Sulzberger, publisher of The New York Times. “We’re watering down headlines, using passive voice, letting falsehoods oppose actual reason, burying leads, burying articles deep inside and refusing to stare down lunacy.”

Note to all stupid media, the federal budget proposal is simply expanding tax cuts for the rich paid for by the working poor. It is an active transfer and the epitome of government subsidized wealth creation. “But I’m a self-made man!”

Trump: Shut down air traffic control, impose sanctions on U.S. consumers, reject everyone foreign, crashing the economy. Trump today: Take a $400m airplane (no tariff) bribe from a foreign government and make it your own post-presidency flying yacht. Media: Hmm. This seems a bit untoward.

Who is this? We need to start global community awareness of who ICE is. Share this until we know who this is.
