Apparatchik: An unquestioningly loyal subordinate, especially of a political leader or organization.

Yes but would still be the wrong interpretation: the US was headed for inflation no matter the size of stimulus as we can see from all other countries in the world and pent-up demand from COVID years.

Joe Biden was not executed and replaced by a clone. But what does it say about the Democratic party that so many people believe that he was?

The next subprime mortgage-level financial crisis. When quantum computing starts breaking keys, that's it for overleveraged Bros who invested everything they have in crypto.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

The US economy is strong enough to treat this little girl. What's the point of being the biggest power in the world if not to make life better for people? What's the point?

"the defense won't present evidence that there was a fire in the crowded theater. It's just words. All my client did was scream fire! in a crowded theater."

Holy shit! Found more documents being removed from government websites. This report by the House Judiciary Committee has been removed from the website. I found an archive of the original PDF that was apparently removed a few weeks ago. Why censor these facts?

"Avelo" means "on a bicycle" in French, and I think that airline tells us it's better to ride to your destination than fly with them. They are right.

This is the second time in a week that the New York Times opinion page has imported a British conservative (but concealed their politics to lend the appearance of impartiality) to defend right wing assaults on our society, from education to the government. Why, do you ask?

For casual voters, linking a food bill to a gross vulgar call against Biden, far from being repulsive, branded a first and lasting impression in their mind.

But it's not a result of Trumpism exactly. It's a result of access journalism and political punditry that for every trump scandal, they couldn't speak plainly and manufactured pseudo equivalent scandals about democrats in search of balance, defaulting to partisanship.

NEWSFLASH: Just 2 days after a major military operation in Russia, Ukraine hits the Kerch Bridge using underwater explosions — an attack which took months of preparation. The bridge is critical for the transfer of supplies from Russia to occupied Crimea.

Not hard to see why the successful policy president with the roaring economy seemed to disbelieve this. Democrats’ actual “original sin,” to steal Tapper’s phrase, was their insistence that political outcomes should reflect material realities.

Not a word in @npr.org s opening newscast. They reported multiple times on CO attack on Jewish people. Strange not to mention this murder, like they don't think gay lives matter.

Another red state University bites the dust. Red states are shitty because of GOP rule. Not the other way around.

Intolerable and on par with the killing of Jewish Americans over Israel policy. But will the media make this as big a story, or are some hate crime victims less worthy of sympathy? It's already looking like there's a double standard.

Most @npr.org programs bending to trump have been toxic for local stations. Coverage on morning edition, ATC have been atrocious, for a long time now. This is what you get when you give your audience the middle finger and value access over information. Does Goldberg understand that? @wgbh.org

Idk, if any other government agency made mistakes this big, they'd have been eliminated already.

So trump killed a deal with Iran, and managed to negotiate one in which he gets less. Dumbest President we've ever had, including Alzheimer Reagan.

Fox: if a criminal is: - not American, attack "open borders" (blame Dems) - not White, attack "soft on crime" (blame Dems) - not straight, attack "transgender ideology" (blame Dems) - straight white American, don't talk about it.

I think the admin should make it clear that if you go out to shop, you can be harassed, arrested, and deported to a gulag. People shouldn't go out to shop and should stay home.

I think it's easier to understand the current media environment once you understand that a whole bunch of ambitious people are looking at our descent into authoritarian oligarchy and thinking it's a great opportunity to audition as a courtier.
