What is painfully obvious in these moments isn't simply that the person alleging to lead this country is a terrible human being; it is that anyone left still defending him, applauding him, justifying him, celebrating him, probably is too.

It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.

One of whom presented a Russian capitulation document as a US peace plan. That’s the headline. We need headlines that are true and not news jargon that washes out the basic facts.
President Donald Trump’s demand that Ukraine sign a deal by Thanksgiving appears to have softened as he leaves some of the most important details of the peace plan in the hands of his envoys, one of whom was just embroiled in a high-profile phone leak. https://wapo.st/481ZdYG
Trump steps back from Ukraine peace process, sends out envoys
Envoy Steve Witkoff, who in new phone leaks appears to have advised Russia on negotiations, heads to Moscow next week to discuss the peace plan.

My god, I could write a dissertation on how demented just these two paragraphs of New York Times coverage of the DC shooting are.
The details of the shooting begin with Trump sending troops to do law enforcement in a city with plummeting crime. How does that "dovetail neatly" with anything he says?

Thomas Chatterton Williams & co are desperately flogging "the work right" to justify their focus on the left. The more obvious parallel is that the right is obsessed with a form of identity politics that far outstrips anything you see on a college campus, and with much more radical policy goals.

Disturbingly globalist music programming. No wonder Marge Greene has exiled herself from Trumpism.
Trump entered the Mar-a-Lago ballroom for his Thanksgiving feast to the song “We Are the World,” a song used to raise money to help starving children.
Trump himself has cut aid to address global famine and has fought for the right to cut food stamps from American families.
