Ooutrageous that the Times is reporting this as straight news. The story not only indicates it might be true, but Katie Rogers seems to be trying to convince us all that it is true. Rogers will do anything to maintain her Melania access. Pathetic is not nearly a strong enough word to describe this.

It's truly absurd that Maggie Haberman and her NY Times buddies can't bring themselves to say, even once, that these blatantly illegal ads are in fact illegal. Instead they repeat ad nauseam Trump's ridiculous arguments for why the ads are supposedly legal.

A serious person would allow replies. But there are no replies allowed because they know what a lot of us would have to say about them holding Jeffries out as a real Dem leader. Jeffries opposes Medicare for All. Lots of Dems to promote re healthcare policy. Jeffries is NOT one of them.
Cowards are blocking replies to these posts about Jeffries' supposed dedication to fixing our healthcare system. Jeffries is against Medicare for all. That tells us a lot about how much he really wants to fix the system as opposed to putting bandaids on the current badly broken for-profit system.
This is 100% on point. WTF is wrong with the WH press corps? Pathetic bunch of lapdogs. Every time I see the clips of Trump abusing female reporters or reporters who are not white I don't get mad at Trump, I get mad at the reporters who just stand there and do nothing to support their colleague.
Will one, just one, member of the media please come to the defense of a female reporter when Trump attacks her? Is there not one of you in the White House press pool that has the fucking courage to get in Trump’s face, call him out for the cowardly pig he is, & stand up for your female colleagues?
Agree 100% And none of those same Dem "leaders" had anything to say about the S.Ct.'s horrific anti-trans decision. Pritzker was the only exception, at least that I saw. Truly pathetic. I think the reporting about the Dem "consultants" telling them to only talk about "affordability" was accurate.
It is not a great look that some senior Democratic leaders have had time to put out statements on social media about how much they'll miss Lindsey Graham but haven't had time to talk about these latest executions carried out by Trump's gestapo in American streets.
Just shameful that the Times refuses to call Trump a liar here. These are simply over-the-top outrageous lies and the Times Minho Kim reporter and his editors both know that. But they bend over backwards to try and sane-wash it all. This BS "journalism" needs to stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/20/u...
100% this. All the pathetic people suggesting Welker is right to say the rain was why Trump walked out are just as bad as Welker herself. You just can't stop normalizing Trump's most outrageous behavior.
The man loves nothing more than to stand directly under chopper blades and yell at female reporters. Unless the barn was leaking on his plugs, I don't see how the rain on the metal roof is relevant.
The Times allowed Bush II to redefine an already clearly defined legal concept "torture," now we see the Times letting Trump do it for "murder. " www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
@whitehouse.senate.gov should pay a price for his continuing votes to confirm election deniers to the federal bench. What the f**k is wrong with Whitehouse? Are RI Dems OK with this?
BREAKING: The Senate confirmed Sheria Clarke to the District of South Carolina after she refused to say Biden won in 2020 and dodged questions about January 6. Durbin, Fetterman, Gallego, Hassan, Heinrich, Reed, Shaheen & Whitehouse voted to confirm her. nominationnotes.substack.com/p/eight-demo...
Wow, seeing @natecohn.bsky.social actually defending John Roberts "race neutral" BS and suggesting that what this map does to rural black voters and Mississippi black voters is OK is FUBAR www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/u...
about time
Supreme Court of Georgia suspends prosecutor’s privilege to practice law before the court for six months after filing a brief with the court that contained non-existent cases and cases that do not stand for the proposition asserted in the brief due to AI usage. www.gasupreme.us/wp-content/u...
This Times article is today's exhibit A for how its reporters normalize Trump and his nominees grotesque conduct. It now does not even merit mention when a Trump nominee refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. Such a refusal is in fact NOT normal. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...
Kind of remarkable, but this is where we are. Marjorie Taylor Green is doing a much, much better job than media like @nytimes.com describing just how depraved Trump has become. The Times still insists on sane washing everything Trump does. Green does nothing of the sort.
Former Rep Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA): “He has gone insane…Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians.”
Just when you think @nytimes couldn't go any further to normalize Trump's worst behavior, they do in fact go further, WTF ?https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/world/middleeast/trump-truth-social-post-iran-allah-strait-of-hormuz.html?unlocked_article_code=1.YlA.2kGX.QLkm0Gy_SKCt&smid=bs-share
This headline belongs in the Onion, not @nytimes.com Truly a new low for journalism at that outlet. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/u...
Apparently these guys are so scary we can't use their actual names, LOL
I know I’m a broken record on this but: A handful of law profs are engaging in an effort to convince the Supreme Court to accept a reactionary administration’s effort to redefine American citizenship and render countless children stateless.

This is just nonsense. The Gulf States are hardly "circumspect." Most of them are openly hosting US troops and facilities that directly support the war. The fact that those countries own troops have not joined the war is just an insignificant technicality.They all fully support what the US is doing.
Beyond pathetic coverage of a Trump enabler . There is zero daylight between this senator and EVERYthing Trump does. To suggest otherwise based on some completely non-public musings is just FUBAR F**k you NYTIMES www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/u...
Fucking @nytimes.com Will they say it appears to be snowing tomorrow? They have forgotten how to be journalists www.nytimes.com/live/2026/us...
Defending @nytimes.com , the ultimate Trump normalizer, and @washingtonpost.com , a Trump mouthpiece, bought and paid for by Bezos, is not a good look.
The Times reports on this truly insane Trump message as if its reporting on what Trump had for breakfast. Truly disgusting normalization of what is grossly abnormal. Our president is obviously mentally ill and the "Grey Lady" has nothing for us. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...
@homedepotofficial.bsky.social can run as many feel good ads as they want during the Rose Parade. It won't make me forget their hateful complicity helping ICE kidnap people from their parking lots. Home Depot is dead to me.
Never forget that the Times thought this story belonged on its front page while the huge No Kings Rally story and many other stories about Trump corruption get buried deep inside. The Times is badly broken. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/26/u...
The authors of this right-wing propaganda should be ashamed of themselves. Zero discussion or analysis of how these multi-billionaires would be injured in any material way by having to pay a tiny percentage of their wealth in additional taxes. And they get their history very wrong at the end.
The Times has reported on Trump's disgusting post, but the overall tone of the article is that its just Trump being Trump. If most of us had an elderly relative who posted anything like this, we would get them help to address serious mental health issues. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/15/u...
Heh @shaheen.senate.gov thanks for nothing. You funded fascism and got absolutely nothing in return for that. And @schumer.senate.gov we know this really was all your idea. Dems need new leadership and lots of new truly progressive senators now.
hey breaking
The Times changed this headline after a lot of blowback but the article still is not nearly skeptical enough, never clearly saying that FDA offered zero evidence www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/h...
My Gawd, what is wrong with he idiot editors at the Times? Trump sends out a batshit racist attack on immigrants and they report he "intensifies" his stance. How can you normalize blatant racism? Well the editors at the Times just did that. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/u...
It's sad that we are back to where we were before Teddy Roosevelt's famous trust busting efforts more than a 100 years ago and quoting the S.Ct justices who supported those efforts. Unfortunately, most of the current justices believe the super-wealthy have a 1st Amendment right to subvert democracy.
"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.
