This is a highly questionable omission by @nytimes.com.
This article tells readers that exit polls show 40% favor mass deportations.
It doesn't include the fact that the same exit polls find 56% favor path to legalization.

There's a growing sense of pathos around Kemi Badenoch. She's clearly constructed a self-image of toughness & ruthlessness - you can imagine her shouting at her own reflection about how hard she is - to protect herself from perfectly normal feelings of vulnerability & fear. It's unlikely to end well

This one internet subculture explains murder suspect Luigi Mangione's odd politics
No one can seem to pin down Luigi Magione’s weird confluence of beliefs — no one, that is, except the members of this strange subculture.

Kompany on similarities between him and Xabi Alonso: "As a player, I was far away from Xabi Alonso on the pitch because I was a defender. As a player, he always found his teammates with passes, no matter how far away, he has an incredible passion range."

Which SHOULD be the bigger news scandal of the last 5days?
Greg Wallace when accused of sexual misconduct, called them "middle-class women of a certain age".
Nigel Farage when asked about his MP beating up his girlfriend: "You've had your fun, Sky News. I'm off to lunch."
Which has more coverage?

It's pretty obvious that Gregg Wallace was indiscriminate with his behaviour (eg the public video of him with his Strictly dance partner) and it just so happens the people most able to challenge him are the most privileged women.
I expect we'll see far more come forward over time.
