Krugman’s sayonara . He’s right about the decline in trust but what he and many others miss is the fundamental shift in the media landscape. Social media has thousands of different lenses through which people can find the reality they’re most comfortable with . www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/o...

With the Trump victory, a whole new chapter has opened in American and world history. Trump’s vote count was only a couple million ahead of 2020. Harris’s defeat was as much about Democrats staying home as opposed to a massive swing to the right. But the winners get to define the moment.
