It does seem that way
Another thing this email trove has convinced me of is that NYT has been actively and consciously helping Trump since 2015. It wasn't just casual sexism, double standards, and political reporting Kayfabe. They were doing catch and kill

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

In a newly released email, a person invited to a private meeting with Jeffrey Epstein joked that Donald Trump may be hanging around the convicted sex offender’s Paris apartment in 2017—years after the president claimed to have cut ties, and after he was already in the White House. trib.al/a4fCHqP

House GOP committee leaders to hold health care brainstorming sessions
House GOP committee leaders to hold health care brainstorming sessions
The conversations with members will also focus on the fate of expiring Obamacare tax credits. House committee chairs will begin having listening sessions next week with groups of Republican members on health care policy and the fate of expiring Obamacare subsidies. Members need to be heard out, said a person granted anonymity to describe internal party dynamics, and GOP leadership plans to structure the talks loosely on the brainstorming sessions that preceded the drafting of the party’s sweeping domestic policy megabill earlier this year. It’s a sign the House is prepared to engage on the issue despite Speaker Mike Johnson’s refusal to commit to holding a floor vote to extend the tax credits before the Dec. 31 deadline. His posture stands in contrast with his counterparts across the Capitol, where Senate Majority Leader John Thune promised Democrats a mid-December vote on extension legislation in exchange for Democrats shoring up the necessary support to reopen the government. Congressional Republicans, though, are divided broadly over how to address rising health care costs. Some GOP lawmakers, including moderates and vulnerable incumbents, want to band together with Democrats to extend the enhanced premium tax credits due to expire at the end of the year. “In the end, we’re going to have some kind of ... negotiated agreement on these ACA tax credits, and it’s going to look a lot like what we just proposed,” said Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) in an interview Wednesday, who recently proposed a bipartisan set of principles for a compromise on the subsidies with fellow Republican Rep. Jeff Hurd of Colorado and Democratic Reps. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey and Tom Suozzi of New York. But other Republicans — among them members of the influential House Republican Study Committee — have been discussing a party-line approach on a conservative health care package that would lower costs in other ways. Some Senate Republicans are calling on an end to the Obamacare tax credits altogether and instead fund tax-advantaged health savings accounts for individuals to pay directly for care. Bacon threw cold water on the notion that the GOP should pursue a more aggressive health policy overhauls at this time: “We’re not going to be able to come up with these huge reforms” before Dec. 31, he said. Across the aisle, House Democrats hope to pressure Republicans into signing a so-called discharge petition to move a bill that would extend the subsidies for three years. The procedural maneuver would allow rank-and-file members to circumvent leadership to force a vote on legislation if the petition gets 218 signatures. Bacon isn’t convinced the gambit will work. “That’s not gonna happen,” Bacon said. Lead Art: Rep.
