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.

Rather than stopping the shutdown of health care for millions of Americans, Senate Republicans put $500,000 government payouts for themselves into this CR.
And last night, House Republicans refused to take it out.
GOP priorities are clear — and protecting your health care isn’t one of them.

🚨 BREAKING: Republicans slipped into the CR, at the last minute, a corrupt January 6th kickback to funnel millions of your taxpayer dollars directly into the bank accounts of 8 GOP Senators. Thanks to Trump, the shameless grift gets worse & worse.
Shutdown deal lets senators sue for $500,000 over data seizures like those in Jan. 6 probe
A provision of shutdown deal authorizes senators to bring lawsuits if federal law enforcement seizes or subpoenas their data without notifying them, with potential damages of $500,000.

This Senate “deal” is nothing to more than an empty promise and does nothing to address the Republican-created health care crisis.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

I'd been puzzled. This makes sense.
KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.
-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.
