Trump’s Libertarian speech was so bad it was like one of those nightmares where you are giving a report in high school and realize you forgot to get dressed.

Our Times news coverage should reflect public sentiment. Since a new Harris poll finds that roughly half of respondents (erroneously) think the US is in a recession with stocks down and unemployment up, we’ll be crafting headlines as if those things were true. by Joe Kahn

I blame this in particular on the NYT, Washington Post and CNN, which have bombarded readers with gloom-and-doom headlines and interviews with voters misled by this same disinformation. The NYT has an aversion to running anything that suggests Biden's policies are working

Biden's Morehouse speech was a success. So we're not giving it any coverage.

Trying to overturn the constitutional order by plotting a coup to defy legitimate election results. That’s all.

four years ago today, Trump used one of his covid disaster-pressers to downplay 87,000 American deaths over a span of just a few months as "a tiny percentage"
Replying to @atrupar
Trump offers some remarkably callous comments about the US coronavirus death toll, which currently sits at 86,607: "It's a very, very small percentage. I say it all the time -- it's a tiny percentage. The vast majority -- many people don't even know they have it."

Trump has stolen a decade of normal life from America and replaced it with an antagonistic feeling of occupation.

The attacks on January 6th were more than just a dark day in our nation's history, it was a jarring wake-up call, a reminder that our freedoms and democratic values are constantly at stake. We must never forget or downplay the severity of that day!

Trump gets Barron’s age wrong when asked about him being a delegate: “He’s pretty young, I will say. He’s 17.” Barron is 18.

Tapper: Trump just said that 75 to 80 percent of Jewish Americans need to have their ‘head examined.’ Let me just say, that is pretty offensive
