So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.
Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

The Trump administration has been spreading anti-vaccine propaganda for months. Tonight, Trump's physician announced he just received a flu shot and a COVID booster.

It’s ancient history now, but in 2004 Sinclair Broadcasting ordered all of its stations to preempt regular programming with a documentary called "Stolen Honor: Wounds that Never Heal“
right before the presidential election. The film was a 40 min attack ad that arguably cost John Kerry the victory.

Bill Cassidy behaved today as he should have behaved during RFK Jr.’s confirmation.
The problem is that now he can’t unring the bell. His actions in confirming Kennedy and convincing others to do so has already caused irreparable damage to science and public health in the United States.

Our Supreme Court is a wreck, now they’re okay with racial profiling. The Court has lifted restrictions on immigration-related stops by federal agents in the Los Angeles area, which amounts to blatant racial profiling. Agents have been stopping people solely based on their appearance,

It's worth reiterating that the administration has never wavered from the position that it sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia to an El Salvador prison by accident. Everything they've done since is calculated to obscure that and punish him for existing as an example of their own stupidity and callousness.

i have been thinking a lot about how the entire concept of “the deal” is antithetical to transparency, fair play and rule of law, as larry notes. the deal is necessarily nonstandard, ad hoc and dependent on the whims of the dealmaker
The idea that President can negotiate/dictate bilateral “deals” by using the full force of the federal government to punish and humiliate his perceived enemies goes against the whole idea of the rule of law. That should be the story, rather than normalizing this authoritarian behavior.

I truly intended this just as an email and not a public thing but fuck it we ball. The New York Times is not alone in its culpability but it is deeply culpable and its near-monopoly status in our blighted American media ecosystem allows it to do what it does.

Thom, perhaps you now understand the full meaning of Liz Cheney’s comments about your support for the indefensible. “There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.” You can’t erase the stain with apologies now.
