one reason for "elite" as a category of analysis is to account for this flavor of thing. Nuzzi may not herself be a titan of industry or heiress to a ketchup fortune or whatever, but she's getting the impunity treatment because she's invited to those people's parties

1. The Trump administration has just quietly updated the State Department website to indicate that it may invalidate transgender people's passports.
This comes a week after a SCOTUS ruling blocking lower rulings allowing trans people to update them.

I realize there's a collective shrug from the media but I personally find it so deeply shameful & so utterly repulsive that the Director of the NIH, Jay Bhattacharya, and the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, Martin Makary, are rubbing shoulders with RFK Jr's buddy Russell Brand

No single thesis has ever been so vindicated as 'they like Trump and want him to win'
About the same time the NYT sat on a scoop tying Trump to Epstein, Maggie Haberman was downright giddy (y'all) about NYT promoting an anti-Hillary Clinton book.

Trump’s HHS put me on “non-disciplinary” admin leave today. This was retaliation for speaking up. Moves like this are designed to silence us. Let’s not let.

America is not full. But an array of right-wing activists and commentators want to deport tens of millions of people.
For them, it’s not just about illegal immigration but the idea that not everyone can really become an American.

The America First solution to the housing crunch isn’t a 50-year mortgage. It’s 100+ million deportations.

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children.
It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.

a concept i talk about a lot with the guy i'm seeing is "fast thinking", which is like low-grade, shallow, and easily disposable pop intellectualism. key hallmarks include focusing on discourse over substance, not being able to separate similar form from different content, and "annoying = evil"
legitimately i think one of the core failings of centrist pundits is that they have come to define themselves by what they are against--to chart their intellectual course by who they think is being annoying this week--instead of by recourse to genuine principle

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
