again, Democratic leadership has sucked shit for years. But that is NOT THE STORY. That’s the story the NYTimes sells over and over and over to an anxious PMC class. It does not explain what is happening, The conservative billionaire take-over of American news media does help explain.

why only one?
Logged on to Reddit to see someone on r/confessions basically just saying that they are the worst person, and its honestly really sad to see someone just emote into the void like that when they are so utterly mistaken. I am the worst person, not them. There can be only one.

it’s well past understanding that it’s here (ie, American authoritarianism); and whether it eventually gets defined historically as fascism or as popularist 21st century reemergence of Redemption or as retrograde white popularism or something else: It Happened Here. And it was abetted by so many.

lack of one basic fairly-good grab-and-go nation-wide sandwich option does actually seem like it has political implications. most particularly in the Biden-inflation narrative.
it is very strange to me that Americans just cannot do packaged, relatively cheap sandwiches. they're fucking awful here. (handmade sandwiches are often great, but, like, the £2.75 Tesco's 'good but not great' sandwich is a missing piece)
It is a huge problem to me that sandwiches in the US are both delicious and stupidly expensive.

Kavanaugh 48-day stop.
Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.
She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.
“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

fuck them all, get goddamned Nuremberg II ready
NEW: When RFK Jr. first told Trump that Tylenol might cause autism, the president wanted to tweet out a warning. Kennedy told him not to do that. There was nuance, and the drug companies would push back. “I don’t give a shit about that,” Trump responded. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

But to be honest, one needs to understand the difference between sharing a photo just to your family & friends….. and sharing a photo to ‘social media’?
are folks at NYT not aware what it means to post to social media about personal passions?

Davidson Sorkin back on the never-ending ‘blame the Democrats for Trump’ bit.
Our experience with Donald Trump may suggest that not every awful thing is best, or most wisely, reckoned with using the tool of criminal law, Amy Davidson Sorkin writes. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/11/24/if-the-legal-campaigns-against-donald-trump-had-ended-differently

What this shows yet again is that DHS's "official version" of events simply shouldn't be believed without verification. In video after video, claims made by DHS officers and DHS itself were shown not to have occurred at all — or to have occurred in a substantially different way than first described.

Indeed. Baker is not repeating the obvious, but being fatuous and abstract and philosophical when he should be plotting (and saying how) to get better questions asked, to show solidarity, and to get immediately hit back at attacks in the press.

I am not immediately moved by your self-congratulatory tone.
What did the rest of the press corps demonstrate by not repeating her question?
If he were to do that to someone else, would she back them up?

“i would’ve done the same, if I could’ve”
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

“I cover the fatuous! You might think I’m doing it because I’m smart enough to see through the fatuous, or because I have natural defenses against being fatuous myself! Nope! Hi!”
Somehow the horny love letter from Nora Ephron and Carl Bernstein’s failson to the tabloid hack who tried to blow up her engagement and career by sexting with a 70-year-old RFK Jr was even worse than that description would suggest.
