Eric Adams Reigned Over a Run of Scandal Not Seen Since Boss Tweed
The mayor’s corruption indictment capped a string of criminal charges, FBI raids and abrupt resignations that destroyed his popularity and took down his crony-laden palace guard.

Hmmm….So trashing companies and industries and screwing working people and communities isn’t turning out to be a good way to make the wealthy richer? There is not a violin small enough….

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Agree with @kairyssdal.bsky.social , disagree with politics editors at @nytimes.com , on this one.
Trump was yelling out *lies* at a frantic, machine-gun pace last night. A "first rough draft of history" account of this moment should make that cler.

Alternate take on VF with Wiles et al:
People are treating Chris Whipple's Susie Wiles articles in Vanity Fair today as big news - the NYT even recapped them. But Wiles is no dummy; she knows how to work the press. These articles read like a Trump press release, excuse after excuse with no pushback. It's the anti-Chotiner interview. 1/

There's no rule of journalism that says you have to show a president telling lie after lie – uncorrected – many times a day. That's a decision that corporate media are making for purposes other than delivering the truth to the public.

My hottest take is that letting cops park in red zones for mundane errands and coffee breaks; I think “you can break the law at your discretion as a job perk” is the small domino that ends in the large domino of “shooting protesters in the face with rubber bullets”
It must be wild to get to abuse the public then pay for it with the public's money
