This is funny. And the serious problem with the NYT is it misinforms about reality. Not with inaccuracy so much as emphasis, perspective, and framing. That makes it a bad news source. Go to the Guardian, or Wired, or others/ independent sources. You don't need the NYT or LA Times, or WaPo.

Trump’s USDA has put thousands of farmers in an untenable limbo, by not honoring their signed contracts. Farmers need the money they planned on and are owed. Last night, Senate Republicans blocked my amendment to protect farmers. It’s not acceptable to abandon farmers this way.

Sen. Booker just broke the record for the longest floor speech in Senate history—a record set by Strom Thurmond trying to block the Civil Rights Act. The irony ain’t lost on us. From fighting against justice to fighting for it. This is what courage & being on the right side of history looks like!

Sen. Strom Thurmond voted against the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, AND supported Jim Crow laws. Thurmond’s record for longest floor speech (in protest of the Civil Rights Act, no less!) was just broken by a Black man, my good friend Cory Booker. That’s America.

Equal work. Equal pay. It seems simple. But women still make less than men in Arizona and across the country. Today on Equal Pay Day, I'm proud to support the Paycheck Fairness Act to end wage discrimination and close the gender pay gap.

Rep. Ted Lieu: “You could put pilots at risk… they could have been shot down.” Trump’s SecDef Pete Hegseth sent war plans to a journalist—a reckless, dangerous breach of national security. And the White House is still downplaying it. American lives were put in danger. We need accountability.
