The President of the United States appears to be getting regular IV infusions, the public doesn’t know anything about it, & the DC media evidently doesn’t care.
We are months into the mystery of Trump’s hands, the White House is lying, & I’ve seen a grand total of one serious news story about it.

Trump looked pretty rough today -- note that both of his hands are discolored

I don’t understand how legal obligations do not apply to the president, any executive branch officials, or the Kennedy Center, but the strictest reading applies to performing artists.

I’m not sure it’s even possible to know for sure, but it’s not outside the realm of possibility that by dollar value Trump is more corrupt than all other American elected officials combined, past and present.

NYT doesn’t get it. He’s terrorizing nonwhite people, seizing imperial power, perverting the government, and spewing hateful lies. This is pro-Trump gaslighting.

Headline that would fit the same space, and better match reporting in the article:
"Private Letters Show Trump Escalating
Demands on Harvard"
Also, this is not a "duel." It's extortion. And, the actual story makes that clear!

Seriously. This is not an appropriate way for an adult to behave.
The President of the United States is very seriously mentally ill, and elected Republicans are so afraid of him that they won’t do or say anything about it.

Media consolidation + regulatory leverage is a dangerous mix. This is the exact playbook Putin used in Russia. First, oligarchs consolidate media. Then, the state applies pressure through regulators, courts, and licensing. Critical journalism doesn’t get banned outright, but just quietly disappears.

A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty:
My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media.
Huh? When did I say that?!

I’ve heard most journalists and politicians say that Trump hasn’t been directly accused of wrongdoing or implicated in the Epstein Files.
But, there are repeated instances of Trump being directly named as a perpetrator—by victims and by Epstein. It’s not circumstantial, it’s direct.

We don’t spend enough time discussing how the entire MAGA movement is kept afloat by the constant threats of stochastic terrorism orchestrated by the president of the United States.
Congress, the courts, much of the media … all kept in line by the mob boss and his army of anonymous goons.

“I’m 84 years old. Threats against my life expectancy are kind of hollow. I don’t have much time anyway. I’m more concerned that our democracy is at risk because of the trends against the rule of law.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...
Judges who ruled against Trump say harassment and threats have changed their lives
More than 100 pizzas were delivered to the homes of judges and their families this year, some with signs of foreign involvement. Judges say the message is clear: We know where you live.
