Please permit me to remind you that just as the First Amendment protects Nazis, who would suppress our speech, it also protects the New York Times, which has sold out every American right and value for the mess of Park Slope potage that is false equivalency, false neutrality, and access.
This is a stunningly pathological lawsuit even by Trumpian standards. It reads as if he was holding a gun to the head of the child of the lawyer drafting it.
Donald Trump sues the New York Times (and Susanne Craig, Russ Buettner, and Michael S. Schmidt) for defamation, and the complaint for some reason begins thus: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!)

RIP Charlie Kirk, you would have loved politicizing the shooting of Charlie Kirk.
on a serious note it's incredible how little they cared about the guy. he wasn't even confirmed as dead, never mind his body cold, before they started pushing "lefist" and "trans" "terrorism" narratives. they saw the blood gush out of his neck and thought "this is an excellent opportunity."
just so you know, twitter losers are trawling through bluesky and doing their usual thing of complaining about people who are telling jokes. comedy is legal now, losers. deal with it.

I mean what can you even say anymore, NYT is dead, WaPo is dead, do I hate that we have to get all our news from newsletters and individual reporters and blogs called Boozy Hamster and vet all that shit individually? Yes absolutely it’s very inconvenient, but how can you trust any other way nowadays
NEW: NYT Executive Editor Joe Kahn spoke about the Mamdani article at his daily meeting with top editors this morning, praising both the story and the reporting process, a Times source tells me. He also praised Assistant Managing Editor Pat Healy’s explanation of the situation that he posted on X.

Here’s the true reported scandal of NYT’s scandalously bogus hit job on Mamdani spoon fed to the paper by a white supremacist shill. As thread says NYT should now cover *this* story with far greater fervor & outrage than it covered Claudine Gray - but don’t hold yr breath waiting for it to do that.
The saga of the NYT's anti-Mamdani story taken from notorious white supremacist Jordan Lasker (they call him an "academic") gets even more amazing: Lasker's only impactful paper, which claimed white people are smarter, is infamous: it misused data so badly it got his tenured co-author fired. 2/

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

This is straight-up fascist dictatorship activity. Not fascist-adjacent or “reminiscent of authoritarian regimes” or whatever euphemistic bullshit — fascism.
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Every time I think thing can’t get worse, the appointees can’t get worse, Trump says ‘hold my beer.’
I am stunned, even by Trump standards, that Dan Bongino, a man even Fox got rid of, is now the new deputy director of the FBI.
We are so effed.
