NYT provides no evidence here, probably because the claim is flatly untrue. See eg recent Pew data, or many posts on the subject from @gelliottmorris.com this year

I watched It’s a Wonderful Life last night, and it reminded me of this comic I did 2016, right after Trump was elected the first time.

Pope Leo highlights Gaza suffering, global conflicts during first Christmas Mass
During his first Christmas Mass, in an unusually direct appeal during what is normally a solemn, spiritual service, Pope Leo focused on the conditions for Palestinians in Gaza and more generally on the devastation caused by war across the globe.

Canada has affirmed its commitment to the people of Greenland. We are opening a consulate there in the spring. Canada is stepping up with Europe as the United States descends into rogue state threats.

Since we’re on the topic of asking people for comment …
In 2021, Bari Weiss famously published a resignation letter by former Smith College librarian Jodi Shaw.
Shortly after, I asked Smith if Weiss had reached out for comment first.
“She did not,” spokesperson Stacey Schmeidel said via email.
Weiss’ agents declined my requests for comment.

Ok how much did the military lose. The USPS is not a business
The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

A reminder that the Epstein Files Transparency Act stipulates that ONLY information on Epstein's victims can be redacted. It goes on to specify that no information can be redacted to spare anyone embarrassment.
DOJ redacted the names of all 10 of Epstein's co-conspirators.
Bondi is a criminal.

Trump's Epstien cover-up is the most incompetent cover-up ever.
Here's a better view of the now-deleted photo showing Trump with Epstein and Trump with a group of young girls.
The photo was originally posted as item EFTA00000468 but was later deleted. Now the 'official' list simply jumps from EFTA00000467 to EFTA00000469.
