"A more soporific set of headlines would be hard to write.”
That's what I told @sulliview.bsky.social about 2 stories that NYT put atop its Sunday front page, while it reduced No Kings coverage to 2 tiny photos below the fold and a story on Page 23. margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/who-cares-...

Media coverage of Saturday’s ‘No Kings’ protests included the New York Times’s shrug

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing?
Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

I have never seen any example of the left "hating" young men that doesn't distill to "refusal to coddle them/insistence on treating them like adults with agency."

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

The Marco Rubio who testified today is not the one I served with in the Senate. He has had a full MAGA lobotomy.
Today I directly told him about the many ways he has betrayed American values and interests:

JUST IN: Judge Xinis says the DOJ has failed to file a privilege log regarding invocation of the state secrets privilege in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case.
She's giving them until 3pm or will construe it as "intentional refusal" to comply.

Tariffs on every country except Russia
I wanna highlight this and the reference from @jerrymcm.bsky.social - by Trump's reasoning he should have slapped a 41% tariff on Russia. He did not. Why? Just remember Speaker Pelosi's words right in Trump’s face.
