Rpublicans "do not trust news media" not because it is shoddy, peddles untruths, and regularly misleads people. In fact the news media they consume ALL THE TIME is provenly culpable of these errors (see Dominion vs Fox). They don't trust it because it reflects a world view they don't agree with.

Can someone define traditional role, as defined by these Republican men?

Why is it that we always make it a choice of one or the other? The NYT sucks at its headlines and they go out of their way to sanewash and both sides and all that. The institutional journalists are doing the work and the articles do have good stuff, usually hidden. Both are true at the same time. 🤯

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governm...

The Democratic Party right now is pretty close to f—ing useless.

We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. —Elie Wiesel <I firmly believe that Dem leadership need to speak up and lead!>

This makes sense to me. The Dems are way too passive and don’t know how to fight - which is what we need from them.

There’s a really serious media credulousness problem happening.

This was an excellent explanations of who pays more when it comes to higher tariffs versus lower income tax.

We are in the middle of a coup and I don’t see any Dem leaders beating the drum about it. It’s all about Data in today’s world and unelected President Elon and his DOGE thugs are taking it all over. This is not good. We need someone to step into the void and lead.

Good news - Some senators did something. Bad news- wrong senators.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

The difference between the past - Schumer- and what I hope is the future - McMorrow. She is right - Bipartisanship is not something regular people ask for!

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

“My best guess is that a billionaire, having climbed to incredible heights, realizes that he’s still an ordinary human being who puts his pants on one leg at a time, and asks, “Is this all there is?” So he starts demanding things money can’t buy, like universal admiration.”
