It’s not over but when it is I will never, ever forget the “serious people” who buckled and compromised and abetted the torture and crime and murder for a fascist lottery ticket.
I think the core point is that trump had a honeymoon in which capital/media/political opposition all decided he was the one true voice of america. he did a lot of horrible things with that (including murdering 100s of thousands), but didn't consolidate power...

These two arguing about the proper conduct of science is like a pair of sewer rats arguing about French cooking techniques after finding a four day old soufflé in the dumpster
JD Vance: "Science as practiced in its best form is that if you disagree with it, then you ought to criticize it and you ought to argue against it."

Sometimes people hate on @nytimes.com because they think that it whiffs coverage of right-wing scandals.
But you will notice that it is NOT on that list.
I've long thought that everyone should read the Times. Even when it makes mistakes or annoys you. It is irreplaceable.

If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line.

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.

Every disaffected Dem & swing focus group we do begins with people asking what's real. They hear, at times, this is authoritarian takeover threatening lives & livelihoods. But perceive most "leaders" not acting as if this were so.

Apparently, NY Times rates you as a “moderate Republican” if you consistently and publicly express concerns, but then vote full MAGA, anyway.
The NY Times published an editorial citing Susan Collin as "a moderate Republican." Collins is a reliable vote for Trump's agenda, has voted against democracy at every turn and supported extremist judges.
This is why people are abandoning legacy media--even while enjoying games, puzzles & recipes.
