As an institution, the New York Times has failed. This excellent thread by Michael Hobbes takes apart today's NYT editorial urging democracy defenders to mind their manners as they oppose Trump.
NYT seems to hold out hope that lavender oatmilk lattes will be served in the journalist detention camps.

Why on earth would a protest movement against the worst president in US history begin by acknowledging that he's not so bad

The board has been an egregious rubber stamp for his heinous hijinks and lack of — wait for it — new innovative cars people want to buy. He’s kicked his consumers — mostly liberal and Democratic — repeatedly in the nuts too and blames George Soros for his own mess. Its board is to blame.

A reminder that if senate Republicans wanted to end the tariff issue they could do so whenever they choose.
Later today the Senate will vote on my bipartisan legislation to end Trump’s tariffs. This has a real chance of passing. I encourage everyone to make your voices heard with your Senators if you feel strongly about this issue. I’ll be working to get it across the finish line. More soon.

Our best leverage as individuals against the criminal regime in El Salvador is with our wallets. Their exports of textiles to the US are huge - we just need to check the label. If you see the picture below, don’t buy it! And tell the manufacturers (Hanes, Fruit of the Loom) they’re shut off too!

"First, Trump is perfectly willing to destroy the economy as he awaits political favors. After all, it’s not him suffering the consequences of a cratering economy. Second, while Tim Cook can afford to pay him off, it’s the mom & pop shops that can’t petition the king for carveouts being sacrificed."
Trump's losing bet on tariffs
Trump claims that he wants to defeat China... and yet he just handed them a gift.

The four law firms that it was announced are now Trump collaborators -- Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, Simpson Thacher, and A&O Shearman Sterling -- ALSO agreed today to "Disavow DEI" as part of a settlement with EEOC.

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots.
The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination.
This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

Every Democrat should back @schiff.senate.gov and demand an investigation. Do what Republicans do: flood cable news, light up social & drop every detail you’ve got.
Republicans won’t hold hearings? Fine—hold your own. Do it in red districts. Live stream it and we’ll make it go viral.
