Former copy editor and page designer here: The erosion of journalism is a major part of what got us here. This only makes it much worse.
Ugh. So fucking awful.
My first job in journalism was as a copy editor, and I truly believe it taught me as much about journalism — on the copy desk in Warren, Ohio — as anything else I’ve learned since.

He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough.

Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.

If Trump won't release the Epstein Files, the same Congressional majorities should impeach him, convict him, and remove him from office.

The important thing to bear in mind as Trump's popularity begins to wobble is that the disastrous economic consequences of the things he's done in the first 10 months of this term have not even *begun* to hit. We've been coasting on the fumes of the economy he inherited and soon they'll be gone.
my wife and her entire team were fired over Zoom from their program manager jobs at a local nonprofit Seattle hospital this Spring because Trump just stopped paying Medicaid reimbursements. and this is a relatively affluent urban center
we're really not prepared for what's coming

As a direct result of President Trump's Big Ugly Bill, almost 300 jobs will be cut from Providence Swedish's First Hill, Cherry Hill, Ballard, and Issaquah hospitals and clinics. These are not the only layoffs we've seen in our health care system in Washington state in recent months.

I am prepared for lies, but cautiously hoping that they are taking the probably last out they can before things get really awful in the dictator/autocrat trajectory. They want to save and serve themselves at some point.
lot of people on this app seem really committed to the notion that nothing damaging will come out of the Epstein files.
let yourself hope a little! it’s free!

Gupta: Could I see his doctor say, “Hey, we’re worried about his neurologic status,” or that they’re seeing something they’re not being clear about with the public, and that prompting MRIs at some every-so-often cadence? Yeah, that would make sense. That would actually be entirely appropriate to do.

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

I hope they just straight up dump the files ASAP. Crossing my fingers that somehow the congressional GOP realize the only way they survive this is to pretend they were never on Trump's side in the first place. They only care about their own power and survival in the end. (Not victims ever.)
