It's worth reading through the whole thing, not just these horrific excerpts. Most important: not a single person -- with the exception of a guy who says he'll turn on CNN if he's out of other options -- gets their news from actual journalists. It's all RW podcasts, YouTubers and TikTok.

Sadly, Trump saying that word would always going to open up the floodgates. When Trump won, FT quoted a banker saying he felt "liberated" to say "pussy and retard." When Trump said the word, Jack Posobiec said "Trump just officially gave us the word retard back."

If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.

Trump: anything else pal?

Zohran: I dunno you want to sink the GOP nominee for governor?

Trump: no problem!
Q: Stefanik has called Mamdani a 'jihadist.' Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now?

TRUMP: No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person

One thing that makes good journalists like Dave Weigel good journalists is that they consume a lot of news, and not just the slice they're covering. There are so many pieces to so many stories out there that reporters who don't do this often miss.

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.

I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.
