Actions reading the NYT in 2025 is asking to be lied to and misinformed.
the balance hasn't remained constant, but people have long wrongly seen the NYT as a liberal publication that feels the need to bend over backwards for conservatives to fight bias charges, when in fact it's a conservative publication aimed at convincing liberals. they're more open about that now

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

I kind of like this framing. I think it explains at least one dimension of the current political re-alignment that's been unfolding for the past 15-20 years.
Key to understanding contemporary American politics is that the Republican Party's defining characteristic is that it's a welcoming home for unlikeable people. www.aaronrosspowell.com/3m52ndshej22l
The “Likable”/“Unlikable” Political Realignment - Aaron Ross Powell's Blog
American conservatism is a home for unlikeable people who’ve turned their unlinkability into a political project.

If the Project 2029 doesn't include gibbets and guillotines, I'm not interested. I want trials, I want a 100% wealth tax and a declaration that tax havens are akin to financial blockades and constitute acts of war.
