the nuzzi story is fun and all but at the center of it is the elevation of a man who has dedicated his life to making children catch preventable diseases to a position where he can enact harm at enormous scale

Even beyond Trump specifically, political parties always tell the press that whatever just happened/is about to happen is going to be good for them. That’s not a story!
Not for nothing but if you’re gonna print the Trump White House’s attack strategy verbatim you might want to offer an assessment of whether it will actually work? www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Trump spent a lot of time on the campaign trail attacking Bush, Cheney, and the neocons for their military adventurism in Iraq and beyond. So naturally he’s getting dogwalked into an even more egregiously unjustified regime change war by exactly the same people.
