This is now a Tim Walz stan account until Dems fuck it up by picking someone they think the NYT will like. Edit 8/6: Well I’ll be damned Edit 11/7: Still a fan 😭

I think plenty of it speaks to the state of the media, but an obvious one is that Vox and Vanity Fair barely investigated her and that she managed to commit an unforgivable journalistic crime before getting a book deal and walking into another prestige job, while plenty of others are being laid off
you know, what if they aren't actually a commentary on journalism or the state of media. what if these people are just extremely weird

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

I hope that this doesn't just become about "Nuzzi is bad" but fosters a wider recognition that our culture of political journalism that didn't just tolerate her, but promoted and celebrated her even after the allegations were known, is rotten to the core and has been for a long time.
this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

To summarize. According to Lizza, Nuzzi, in addition to fucking multiple subjects without disclosure:

1) outed a confidential source
2) fed source information to RFK
3) damaged other people’s reputation through anonymous posts on Reddit
4) advised RFK and repeatedly acted on his behalf

But now he sees her capitalizing off of cuckolding him and he is releasing it now to reassert his dominance over her.

They are both irredeemable pieces of shit.

You can’t tell me that in a world as small as DC no one but Ryan Lizza knew what was going on. And none of them said shit about it because they all like Trump and wanted to help him win. Complete elite failure and betrayal.

i'm just hung up on "the entire media let itself get dogwalked into stabbing Democracy to death by a lady who was just doing it because she was hung up on RFK Jr.'s piss and breeding kinks", it's genuinely unbelievable to me

if she were an actual agent of an enemy polity i think i'd hate it less

If my partner were in the media and doing wildly unethical stuff for years I probably wouldn’t sit on it until I could use it to boost newsletter subscriptions.

It's actually sort of funny that 'Trump old' could be rebutted partly with "could an old, broken-down senile play THIS MUCH golf" but they can't exactly do that, can they

Taxpayers have shelled out nearly $71 million for Trump's golf hobby since he retook office — and he's on track to exceed an eye-popping figure
Second-Term Tab For Trump’s Golf Hobby Tops $70 Million, On Track To Exceed $300 Million
The total would double the $151.5 million taxpayers shelled out for him to play golf during his first term.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

He’s said this for a long time and it’s closely related to what he thinks about tariffs (countries have only a certain amount of money and you’ve got to keep it inside)
The thing about Trump stories is that they always have that extra layer of stupidity that you’re not expecting. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

Under suspicion of what federal crime? Are we seriously suggesting that it’s a crime to tell people to follow the law? What the fuck is happening?!
MS NOW confirms: The FBI is working with Capitol Police to schedule interviews with the six Democratic lawmakers who urged service members to refuse to comply with illegal orders.

The decline of religion as a source of meaning in people's lives remains underrated as a factor shaping society. The need doesn't go away - they just seek it out elsewhere in (often false) health/wellness beliefs, (often highly polarized/conflictual) politics, etc. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/o...

Still wondering why Jared couldn’t get clearance in Trump’s first term btw, definitely wish that info had been strategically leaked by the Biden admin
One man -- Marco Rubio -- serves this country as both National Security Adviser and Secretary of State.

And he was nowhere near the drafting of that Ukraine 'peace plan,' which was instead devised by the president's real-estate buddy and his son-in-law.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.
