Theres a foolish impulse by legacy media that if & when they cover most stories, it’s simply time to move on. Trump’s ceaseless corruption, criminality, cognitive decline & compulsive, narcissistic hatred gets glossed over in the process. I for one won’t move on until he’s gone & held accountable.
How are these fits of presidential incontinence never covered as their own news events in NYT? Hours of sick hateful bile from the curdled joyless leader of the Christian nationalists sitting in the ruins of the tinsel trimmed White House he’s demolishing — seems like a story to me.

Operation Metro Surge is state-sanctioned racial profiling used as a tool of political intimidation.
But Somali Minnesotans aren’t intimidated, we’re brave and resilient, and our neighbors have our back.

When Charlie Kirk was shot, he did a full oval office address. When it's college kids on campus it's "things can happen." What a sociopath.
