Translation: we’re fully on board with everything happening, we just wish it wasn’t being done in poor taste
This is good: Rep Eric Swalwell tells me House Dems are now discussing making an end to mask-wearing a precondition for ICE funding.
"When we are in the majority, the masks are coming off," he says.
This is the next frontier in anti-Trump resistance.

The challenge system isn’t going to change much. It’s a half-measure that forces the players to do the officiating and will leave thousands of high-impact bad calls to stand every year.

We've known for a while that clubs control the narrative, but the actions of Luke Edwards this summer highlight the issues with football journalism. He didn't do his job. He did the dirty work for Newcastle.

Football journalism is dead and Luke Edwards proves it
Club journalists are now forced into being an extension of the club they're covering.

NEW — We asked the 20 current Democrats who voted to censure Rashida Tlaib if they'd support censuring Randy Fine, who called Ilhan Omar, Tlaib, and Zohran Mamdani "Muslim terrorists."
Just 3 responded: Pat Ryan, Ritchie Torres, Dan Goldman.
They all support censuring him.

Adams is running one of the most corrupt administrations we have seen in any big city. Was caught dead to rights for taking bribes, but got away with it because he promised to help the Trump administration.
Four high-ranking ex-NYPD chiefs are suing Mayor Adams, claiming they were forced to retire from the department after complaining his “unqualified” friends were being placed in prestigious posts, sometimes after allegedly bribing their way into the jobs. www.nydailynews.com/2025/07/08/e...

The thread is pure deflection and evasion. Healy is really trying to claim that there's no problem with how they gave the Nazi pseudonymous cover because readers could just Google the pseudonym themselves to find out he's a Nazi—he calls this giving readers "context" and "a way to learn more."
The crisis at the New York Times can be summed up pretty concisely by the fact that Patrick Healy is in charge of Standards and Trust

When journalists are full of shit in response to criticism, they are explaining that they don't see being full of shit as being at odds with their job. Then you realize they don't think their job is what you think it is

the parent of a trans kid in missouri begged the new york times not to use an audio clip in The Protocol podcast of a verbal confrontation with professional transphobe Jamie Reed out of fear of safety for her kid and NYT management refused her request.

If you take what Healy is saying at face value, the message is that a public figure is best off refusing to talk to the Times. The explicit argument is that because Mamdani was willing to answer questions about his stolen personal information, that turned the theft into a voluntary disclosure.

one way you can tell he’s lying is that the story was sold with a hard news headline as opposed to the poncy “From Kampala to Queens, Mamdani navigates a complex identity” feature hed it would have gotten if it was actually about the decisions “people with overlapping identities wrestle with”

Again, you lied to your readers about your source. You falsely called him “an academic” and whitewashed the fact that he is a known proponent of racist eugenics — all while promoting his Substack with a hyperlink and striking a deal to obscure his publicly reported identity.

Reality is now so internet poisoned you cannot say true things without appearing insane. “The New York Times ran a hit piece on Zohran purely so a minor race science blogger could place insider trades on Polymarket” sounds like you are a schizophrenic but it is straightforwardly factual!

Zohran Mamdani's efforts to get into college at age 18 are matters of public interest that transcend their illegal sourcing; Roger Stone's efforts to overthrow the country last year may have been interesting but the public had to be shielded from the tainted material.
For reference the New York Times was among the outlets that declined to publish hacked materials from the 2024 Trump campaign www.cnn.com/2024/08/13/m...

The NYT granted anonymity to a eugenicist (www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...) who obtained hacked college records in order to break the news that Zohran Mamdani, who was born in Uganda to Indian parents, checked both the "Asian" and "Black or African American" boxes on his college application.
