If by “gasping in outrage” you mean methodically fighting back and blocking a repeal of birthright citizenship and the impoundment of federal grants in less than a day apiece” then sure.

@nytimes.com reporting and headlines ??? This piece of junk newspaper belongs in the grocery checkout line on display along with the National & Star!!!
I won’t have anything to do with the https://nytimes.com. I love to cook and I won’t even use the recipes NYT publishes. I grew up in NY. The whole family read the NYT. No more. Done. None of us will read it now.
Normal candidates run on visions of what’s legal first, lest they’re faced with a win and then expected to fulfill empty promises. I’m quite close to leaning into a knowledge test for certain voting blocks. Not there yet. I’ll just rely on survival of the fittest for now.
Old media can not be trusted. They are in on the whole thing as they are trying to avoid government lawsuits etc. I’m at this point looking to foreign media for honest coverage of the US.
The only gasps are the old white pale stale male freaks hanging on to the last bits of capitalism.
The rest of us are out here organizing the resistance and building the future.
Listen, I’ve called every Maga senator and told them when are they gonna make America affordable again? When will the war and Ukraine? And how could you let out January 6 riders who beat the shit out of cops? Deplorable
NYT tries to normalize aka 'sane wash' this mad man as if he's just a normal president and Democrats are just the opposition.
Joe and Mika ain't the only whores on the planet.The media serves their stockholders not their country.
Amazing how Dems are a powerful, sinister Deep State, pulling the strings of government from behind the scenes, yet are also a bunch of feckless crybabies who can't get out of their own woke way.
Thank you for giving some credit to Democrats; there's a lot of "Dems suck" posts here. it's so facile to blame Dems for everything while pretending that being in the minority in all three branches of gov't makes no difference. They are doing quite well considering the onslaught we face.
We all have to remember, they still have to govern and they haven’t had a lot of experience with an all out assault on the rule of law, by fascist animals, either.
But in the face of all that, they still fight every day.
We don't usually skimp on giving credit to individuals where it is due, but the party machine is made up of people who seem to think they live in the political atmosphere of 40 years ago. The party establishment has a heart of pure arthritis. It's time to cede the leadership to the young ones.
I'm not off balance. Is the NYT off balance? I'm not gasping in outrage either. I'm simply hoping this clusterfuck blows up sooner than later - and takes all the sycophantic newspaper people with it. They should be shamed from existence.
I might be for the end of birthright citizenship if it’s done properly. San Francisco has a booming Chinese baby dropping industry. Grow up in China and then come to America and run for President?
It is difficult to keep up but I feel like there have been at least a dozen impeachable offenses in the first week. Too bad these offenses are exactly what the Republicans in the House love best.
Ok, I love you and your podcasts dearly, but these days the NYT is simply cheap click-bait. Don’t spread their sensational propaganda headlines and articles for them. I realized their scheme 8 years ago. You have soooo much great news, information, analysis and insight!
The gasping is coming from the majority of the elected members of congress. Fortunately we have people and groups like yourself out there fighting for us.
Absolutely! If these past few days are any indication, the number of furious opponents will skyrocket. It may be the 'woke' leading the charge, but growing up next door to y'all, I know the powers that be have gravely underestimated my fellow Americans.
If this is the WH strategy, it seems entirely designed as a Musk style troll move that generates lots of noise online but actually results in most of the Trump agenda tied up in court cases, sometimes for years.
Everything we accomplish is only because we fell backasswards into it whereas the Republicans are brilliant strategists whose authority is unquestioned. Rinse and repeat.
If he continues "flooding the zone" he'll have people going to the "cleaning their weapons" stage of outrage IMHO. He's just freed 1500 violent criminals after hanging them out to dry for 4 years -- he could have pardoned them in 2021 but he didn't. I'm sure that a grievance for some of them.
Hey democrats ~ get it together. Here's an idea ~ every day, list a headline of the horrible things which occurred that day. Call it something catchy, do it every day. Have a different dem read it to the press (release it too), every freakin day. It will catch on, news outlets will repeat it.
Flooding the zone is meant to sow chaos and confusion, and to distract us from the fact that trump and his bros are planning to destroy and loot the nation. Meeting the flood with massive numbers of lawsuits is one way to take back the narrative. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
Here, they use the term “opponents.” @NPR this week used the term “critics” in describing those who think these actions are illegal. How about using the words “experts” or “legal scholars” or even just “anyone with common sense?”

The @nytimes.com is complicit in this fascist destroying the US. It didn’t hold Trump the rapist traitor to account as much as it did Harris the competent prosecutor.
The plan for concentration camps guys~ this is so becoming more than just let the system have people; they don't get due process because of Laken Riley!
I'm so fucking angry! Protect people and even with a warrant they can fuck themselves with it!Waste time DONT COMPLY!Lives very well on the line.
"But several reliable, well-informed sources confirmed the idea that Hitler's anti-Semitism was not so genuine or violent as it sounded..."
- NYT, November 20, 1922.
After their sane-washing of Elon’s very obvious Nazi salute, and their assessment of Barbie’s first press briefing yesterday, I just cancelled my subscription today.
We are fighting back legally. Media is complicit in sane washing the Trump administration and making the Democrats the bad guys. We need to keep pushing back.
Middle class, capitalism, government for the people by the people... All just temporary compromises for them to exploit new resources and markets. Now they want to get back to normal. They want all their shit back and all the power. Oh you thought you could have anything? Sorry peasant.
While I have tremendous respect for the journalists at the times, their editorial board has truly gone off the rails. @propublica.org , @thecontrarian.bsky.social and @mehdirhasan.bsky.social's @zeteo.com are holding the line in the 4th estate
Fuck you New York Times! Aren’t some of your employees or their families affected by this barrage of anti American bullshit that Trump and Vought are pushing for?
When it’s written this way it sounds so clearly “us and them”. These are not ordinary times so quit writing as if they are! Be American!
Turns out, when you make blatantly illegal moves, the courts shut you down fast. Who could’ve seen that coming? Oh right—literally everyone paying attention. Keep the pressure on, because they’re not done trying
Nobody I know is gasping. Everybody I know is pissed.
I’d say, “do better, NYT,” but your publication has proven over the last several years that you are incapable of doing better under your current ownership.
I cancelled WP subscription as it started to filter and dissemble. NYT's normalization of the MAGA/Project 2025 movement and ascension has mostly been in its headline writing. This is another example. We need to continue to speak truth to power...including keeping "trusted" news sources accountable.
Exactly! If the NYT bothered to look, none of the AGs was gasping in outrage. Quite focused and determined. State officials the same. The public, of course, but part of our work is talking people down from hysteria since MSM, I'm looking at YOU, NYT, don't give facts just hype.
According to the NYT headlines, state AGs are "gasping in outrage" while executing an all-out offense, while Trump's latest press secretary made a "steely and unflinching debut" a day before she singlehandedly undercut the Trump admin's attempt to get out of a major lawsuit by tweeting in all caps.
The NYT brass is always so impressed with people who can look you in the eye and lie to your face, perhaps because they can only manage to tell lies in print.
That paper has lost its damned mind. We were all pretty dazzled by the judge using her tweet as evidence to cut the legs off Trump's power grab. Way to GO, cookie! Wonder if she will last a full Scaramucci? But the NYT will not record it, no matter what.
The new WH Press Sec'y tweeted something that was used by the judge putting a restraining order on Trump's freeze of grants as evidence that they were not truthful. He did not lift the restraining order because of HER tweet. Not sure how long Trump will keep her.
It might work if there aren’t millions of us actively dissenting. I’m committed to calling Rep Cliff Benz of Oregon every weekday from now until the next election. And after that if he is reelected. He’s a proud member of the Fascist Coalition.
““If a nation expects to be ignorant & free, in a state of civilisation, it expects what never was & never will be. The functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty & property of their constituents. 1/
To every media outlet peddling the LIE they stand on hallowed ground > are champions of a Free Press, get your shyt together. DO your job without fear or favor.
“The purpose of a free press is to ensure that the people are free to receive & impart information that is not manipulated or serving a particular person, entity or interest. Its duty, in fact, is often to investigate people of power, & especially the government…”
There is no safe deposit for these but with the people themselves; nor can they be safe with them without information. Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe.” - Thomas Jefferson, 1816

Shame on them for their framing of the situation. This is not a game or sport. The president and his goons are negatively affecting people’s lives and livelihoods and the Times should act accordingly.
I started listening to your pod cast a week or two ago. I have been following you for a few years on x. But now I am reading everything you write here in your voice 😂😂

F them.
They're useless.
How about "Country up in arms, backlash explodes".
The rest of us are out here organizing the resistance and building the future.

I’m still proud to be a Democrat.
When you respond "there out to be a law, they should" ask yourself, do you ever call your reps? Phone bank, write letters?
Americans are very spoiled and very lazy. They think, I voted, so I'm all done.
Trust me, if you don’t have your reps’ ears, the monied elite will.
We're just gonna keep using it...
They are really more like signed tantrums.
The nytimes telling it like it ain’t… AGAIN.
The New York Times:
‘All the Spin That's Fit to Print’
Anyone who opposes him is rational and terrified.
They are literally not reporting known facts and just making stuff up.
Just three dudes who want to report the truth.
Not a private jet in sight…
Three cheers for independent news!

So many options
I was raised by a malignant narcissist just like him
Working Democratic contacts exclusively is partially what got both parties here,

This is the psyops you are sharing.
Let your Loss spur you to grieve. Let that Grief transmute Pain into Strength in your heart.
But you must let your heart break.
Turn away from the "shock and awe."
