The more coverage a story gets, the more important readers think it is. So it matters when the NYT inflates flimsy Dem ‘scandals’ while downplaying real, criminal ones from Trump and Republicans. It’s not just bad judgment — it shapes public perception.

Would a headline ever, EVER have called this a “mishap” if it had been done under Biden or Obama? No, absolutely not. And, for bonus, a Susan Collins-esque “learned a lesson” quote from the president, treating his national security advisor like a chastened 7-year-old.

It should also be pointed out that this was the only time the Atlantic/Signal story was discussed on Fox News' most watched show today -- when the lone liberal injected it into the conversation. None of the show's topics were centered on the story, which was by far the biggest in DC today.

Ever since I wrote this piece after the election, organizations reach out to like "do you have time to talk about what we can do to support progressive creators?" I reply: I don't need an hour, they need money. Full stop. That's what we need. And just like that these orgs vanish!

To give a sense of how much money this is: according to CBO in 2023, non-defense discretionary spending was $917B. So the cost of running the entire federal govt, aside from SocSec, Medicare, Medicaid & defense was $917B. And in six weeks DOGE lit $500B on fire.

Fantastic read on Section 230 here. But also “Under Klobuchar’s proposal, [RFK Jr.] would literally have the power to declare pro-vaccine information as “misinformation” and force it off the internet” Seriously messed up stuff.

Painting a protest movement as intrinsically violent is the oldest trick in the book. It is the exact tactic that was used to try to discredit the civil rights movement.

Your reminder that #TeslaTakedown is a grassroots, nonviolent and peaceful protest. We do not condone violence or vandalism. And we recognize that all Tesla owners are not on the wrong side. Our tent is a big one. Join a protest now at Teslatakedown.com or organize your own!

This may sound fanciful, but it's actually validated by social scientific research. One study showed that, when given accurate descriptions of Republican fiscal policies, a significant chunk of voters simply refused to accept that these were their views. It just sounded too extreme.

There may be no one in the Democratic Party who speaks more eloquently to the spirit of the working class than AOC, yet for some reason centrist Dems who say "We need to speak to the working class!" see her and are like, "Well, not that way, I mean, uh, you know, maybe somebody else"

Not content to just hand over their own authority, and thereby expanding the powers of the executive branch, Musk is giving House Republicans incentive to help the Trump administration take a sledgehammer to additional parts of our system of checks and balances.

Every so often I look at the paper of record to see if it is quickly communicating to readers that they are living through a constitutional crisis, and the answer consistently is "no." They are covering the topics, but in the name of journalistic balance, not conveying the alarm.

Antisemitism is structurally necessary to Elon Musk's politics, because his identity is rooted in being an underdog fighting against the real power, but as the world's wealthiest person, who is deeply politically connected, he needs a definition of elite not rooted in wealth or corporate ownership.

This isn't anti-DEI - it's retelling history as a story with only white men in it. The tale of the Navajo Code Talkers is essential to understanding the Allies' victory in WWII. Removing it because the people involved were non-white is segregationism.
