You'll ignore this, but every time you tweet angrily about crap like that Nuzzi piece you're confirming NYT editors' intuitions/incentivizing more of it. The entire intellectual/journo model here is, "Does this person get people angry? Yes? OK they're provocative/get talked about. Write about her."

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

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"

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

The only path forward is a deal that protects peoples' health insurance. Trump just needs to get involved in the art of this deal.

Opinion | An ungrateful Millennial immigrant like Zohran Mamdani will never have the love for this city that I do as a true born-and-bred New Yorker. Also, if he raises my taxes, I’m moving to Miami.

The government is shut down because Trump stooges want to double health insurance costs for struggling Americans.
And now, because Mike Johnson hasn't even had House Republicans show up for work since Sept. 19, many of those Americans are losing food benefits.

Trump and Stephen Miller basically kidnapped the wrong guy and are now moving heaven and earth to torture him and pretend they had a reason other than bigotry.
Breaking news: A federal judge temporarily barred Kilmar Abrego García’s deportation to Uganda until she can hold a hearing to examine whether the Trump administration will give him an opportunity to contest his removal to that country.
