At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Like the time Nixon's secretary accidentally erased part of the Watergate tapes.
New: Judge in Jim Comey proceeding says part of grand jury proceeding is still missing. There is a gap from about 4:38pm to when the grand jury handed down the indictment later that evening. Judge again demands full transcript.

Never trust a man convicted of 38 counts of fraud to provide proof in how much money tariffs have brought in, 2.) how much prices have dropped, or other cover ups using actual numbers. Fraud is a way of life. We used to call that criminal lifestyle..

It has the best numbers ever. Kinda like Trump's tally of current tariff receipts. The press has been asking for proof, haven't they? Oh...

Turns out the Golden Age of MAGA was an Epstein cover-up, 600,000 Chinese students, H1-B jobs for Indians, massive deficits, pardons for fraudsters & drug traffickers, blowing up boats, 50 year mortgages, tariffs on everything, higher prices, a ballroom, & al-Qaeda in the Oval.

Democrats could have done better. They probably should have done better. But they exit this event in a stronger position than they entered. And also: They could have done much worse.

I heard from my cat that she is willing to consider never throwing up on a rug again. So now we'll see if she's really gonna work with me.
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

Trump admires dictators most. How many visits does this make?
Orbán: “The only pro-peace government is the US and Hungary. All the other governments prefer to continue the war because many of them think Ukraine can win…which is a misunderstanding of the situation."
Trump: “You would say Ukraine cannot win that war?”
Orbán: “Miracle can happen.”

You can google this and prove it is a lie yourself. Google Walmart Thanksgiving meal 2024, then google for 2025. The 2024 meal had premium items and more of them. The 2025 meal is barebones and all generic. This is a lie.

Still very weird that the president of the united states thinks you need ID at a grocery store.
Trump: "It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do and that's terminate the filibuster ... we should start tonight with 'the country's open, congratulations,' then we should pass voted ID, we should pass no mail in voting ... you go to a grocery store, you have to give ID."
