🗞️Today's NYT reporting:
"Trump said this, then Trump said that. Trump did this, and then Trump did that. Trump did that, and now Trump's doing this. Trump wants this, now Trump wants that."
NO JOURNALISM
NO CONTEXT
NO FACT-CHECKING
They basically just takes notes for the MF'er, and print it.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

🧵 An open letter to the US Open and USTA:
Trump will attend the #USOpen as a guest of ROLEX. Yesterday, Trump declared 'WAR' on Chicago. The USTA has called for media censorship of dissent against Trump today.
I played NCAA tennis many years ago and still play. Today I resign my #USTA membership.

“The Open is supposed to be New York’s tournament, brash and democratic, rowdy and unfiltered, vibrant and exuberantly multicultural, where the crowd is as much a character as the players on the court.”
This tournament will be remembered MOSTLY for the governing body’s lamentable decision to ask broadcasters to silence dissent against Trump. The USTA has sacrificed authenticity and credibility in order to shield a politician from the sound of public disapproval.

The USTA’s censorship of Trump dissent at the US Open is cowardly, hypocritical and un-American | Bryan Armen Graham
By asking broadcasters not to show any protest against Donald Trump at Sunday’s final, the governing body has caved to fear while contradicting its own history of spectacle

The more coverage a story gets, the more important readers think it is.
So it matters when the NYT inflates flimsy Dem ‘scandals’ while downplaying real, criminal ones from Trump and Republicans. It’s not just bad judgment — it shapes public perception.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

In other news, yesterday I called on the four biggest streaming providers to carry C-SPAN. It's increasingly hard to find non-partisan, independent coverage about what's going on in government, and making C-SPAN easier to access for everyone is a good place to start.
