This should have been demand after 2016. And again after 2020.
The first litmus test for the New York Times and Washington Post is successfully reckoning with and apologizing for their past coverage of Democratic presidential campaigns.
If they can't convince news consumers that they've learned their lessons, people will continue to turn to other outlets.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.
Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

I voted for Trump. But when he said he was going to let Elon fire federal workers, I didn't know that meant Elon would fire me.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Rufo straight up admits that the entire framing of being against "cancel culture" was BS and they just wanted to be the ones doing the "canceling."
Every radical centrist who was just asking questions in the Atlantic played their useful idiot role in bringing this to fruition.

Some “moderate” Republicans flipped & ended up supporting this evil budget resolution. They voted to cut Medicaid & services their constituents depend on. The budget fight isn’t over. But if you are represented by any of these people that voted yes.. make sure they hear from you.
Congressional Republicans tried to pull a fast one. They called off the budget vote that cuts healthcare for over 38 million children and just put it back up after everyone left to try and make some Democrats miss the vote. Many Dems are voting by card to keep the vote open. I just did mine.

The Washington Post and LA Times editorial pages have gone full MAGA, MSNBC has purged all of its anti-Trump anchors, and Twitter is owned by a literal Nazi. Here's why liberal media bias is still a problem.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

The funniest comments I keep getting on this one, “But he’s only been president for three weeks.”
I always answer with this phrase.
“He said he’d get prices down on day one.”

The first ever Biden vs. Trump PRICE CHECK! President Donald J. Trump promised he would start to get prices down on day one of his presidency. This is a quick list of some common grocery items.

This is not just a musing from a dude with some various ideas. The next step is to hollow out the judiciary and also not follow their rulings, which have been against Musk’s efforts. This is a very obvious coup, for those not paying attention.

Vance now joining Musk in calling for the return of racist DOGE/Treasury employee Marko Elez. Vance also joins Musk in directing harassment at the reporter who broke the story. No one denies any facts in the reporting, they're just trying to intimidate the press out of doing any critical reporting

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
