I rarely see anyone calling for Bernie Sanders to retire or step down due to age. Maybe effective service is about ideas and courage, not just years.

Many people are saying “Don Trump should be put in prison and/or given the death penalty for crimes against America.”
Paywall. I don’t support ruling class media.
Buckley style right wingers believed in not saying the quiet part out loud. Kirk was a nasty POS who couldn’t do that.
When did China last invade or bomb a country? How about us? EvenTaiwan which culturally, geographically and historically is theirs, they show restraint over our hostile threats. China is making progress on climate and we may soon need them for vaccines. Our oligarchs taking a $ hit is fine.
Is there a pro football team whose owners didn’t $upport Trump?
Ironic, religion in the name of a Godless man driven by greed and ego.
Fascists tend to dislike Eisenhower as he knew exactly who they were and helped us kill so many of them. He was the only decent Republican President of modern times.
The NYT creates propaganda for the ruling class. Lies and disinformation are how they do it.
Nod to comic Alonzo Bodden. Two kinds of people in the world, those who know shit and those who don’t know shit. RFK don’t know shit and wants us to listen to people who don’t know shit.
Right after profit, wouldn’t sabotage be job 1 of a Russian asset?
The guard may be the wrong tool for the job but the idea that “law enforcement professionals” are any good is pretty damn silly.
“Many people” are saying crime in big cities is a major problem? How could be when stats show urban crime dropping and lower than red states? Maybe our billionaire ruling class media isn’t telling the story? Our free press isn’t free except for the propaganda.
That looks like a list of Democratic Senators who work for Corporate.
That radical shit stirrers can turn a Cracker Barrel logo update into a national outrage is a tribute to their ingenuity and to the utter stupidity of our ruling class media.
Bolster his Legacy? What legacy?
We didn’t vote to fund and support a genocide and an apartheid state but Sen. Brown did, regularly. Just got a fund raising email from him but I see he’s well funded by AIPAC.
It’s the same old story. People have trouble understanding things when their income stream depends on them not understanding. The party sold out to corporate money and leadership is filled with quislings.
This is the result of a “free press” owned by a billionaire ruling class. Media is propaganda.
Resentment works with all groups. Making it a boomer thing serves to divide us more, which is the main reason Republicans generate resentment.
When we see the “Democrats” who tell us we need to support someone like Fetterman because “blue no matter who”, we’ve identified the corporate/AIPAC traitors who keep the party weak and ineffective. The slaughter of children is not a “purity test”.
For competence, honesty and decency there is no comparing Biden with Trump. What’s tragic is that Biden, just like Trump, supplied the munitions to kill Gazas children and prevented with vetos, the UN from stopping a genocide.
AI is a misnomer. What is being pushed on us to adopt is little more than a bigger, faster database and an excuse for the owners to vacuum up intellectual property and personal data. Intelligent machines may soon be developed but we won’t be using them as part of our Google account.
Yes. Carlin made it very clear he liked people until they formed a group.
Easy call - a). Israel was not invaded or defeated. It was attacked by a terror group and responded by killing and starving thousands of innocent civilians and children. The world and UN recognized this as a genocide and war crime. Biden and now Trump supplied bombs.
Bill Burr reminds me of George Carlin, offering truth, decency and punching up. Maher’s punch down style is Dennis Miller only nastier.
The “hard left” is intolerant of supplying bombs for a genocide that murders starving Gaza children. The hard left would like all our citizens to have medical care. Why is that so “hard”.
Kids in Gaza are starving and dying while you provide the bombs and support genocide.
I’ve never given Columbia money so I doubt they care what I think. I’m just proud of the students who stand with the children of Gaza.
Latest “conservative” oxymoron is “toxic empathy”. It's difficult for me to grasp how understanding another’s situation could be toxic but I do see very clearly how empathy threatens fascists.
Bill Clinton, 3rd best Republican President we ever had.
I’d buy one of those Chinese EV’s tomorrow but I guess the “free market” is keeping them out?
A partial list of Democratic party Senators who work for and answer to the big money corporate sector.
Some of us knew the NYT had moved to the dark side when they “let go” their very effective pubic editor, Margaret Sullivan, and later removed the position entirely.
He repeats it enough and a complicit media magnifies it and it becomes the truth.
Pay wall to link.
Isn’t it interesting how closely aligned in failure and cowardice are Democrats and British Labour? One might almost think they are both working for the same corporate and oligarch paymasters.
Imagine NYT coverage like they gave her emails and Biden's aging, examining the constant, habitual and outrageous Trump lies. The disinformation repeated until it becomes “true” parroted by gov't agencies, greedy corporations and a media afraid to call it out.
The New York Times is the enemy and the longer we pretend they aren’t, the more of us who will die because of their shit reporting. Enjoy your crosswords and Wordles, they’re soaked in blood.
Yes, but so do we all.
Dems are a bog standard center-right party.
The current task of the corporate media is to create consent among the public for the Trump agenda and to “sanewash” his gibberish. Our free press has failed us completely.
Wish I could cancel my NYT subscription but I did that awhile back.
Right. If Jefferies ever has to step down Pelosi has Henry Cuellar lined up to take the helm.
The Guardian which is normally better than this, today described the Third Way as a Democratic think tank.
It will be sadly frustrating to watch the next (?) Democratic administration throw up hands that they simply don’t have the power to undo all the things Trump had the power to do.
I don’t recognize the other names but Cuellar is a Democrat only in Nancy Pelosi’s imagination.
Disappointed but not surprised to see Rep. Kathy Castor vote against Trump impeachment. Almost 94K in AIPAC money surely gets attention though it pales in comparison to Moskowitz and Wasserman Schultz paydays.
I think too many pundits are missing that Trump is focused right now on only one thing. Getting himself a Nobel Peace Prize. Nothing else is as important to him.
Yes. Dems must unite behind a candidate acceptable to.... Bill Kristol???
Thanks Anne but I read The Guardian (US edition) now for my news. Not perfect but much better.
I’d love it if people would please stop adding paywall links to NYT propaganda.
Perhaps a recognition that party leaders have been purchased with corporate money.
Nice to see Hochul attacking Republicans rather than progressive Democrats.
They win elections because they lie. They are abetted in their lying by an oligarch owned media who convince people to vote against their interests.
Maybe that guy Chomsky has something right about our media?
Problem is the number of them in Democratic party leadership.
These are not Democrats.
Time to replace NYT as “paper of record” with the more accurate “propaganda arm of the ruling class”.
Nice decent man, sucked as President.
The NYT ran this on page 12A.
What worries me is not the Guard but an admin with radical followers spoiling for a fight. Situations leading to panic, chaos and violence can be manufactured or encouraged.
The Democratic party can’t do this. Leadership is made up of corporate centrists who take the money and fear working class progressives more than they fear Republican fascists.
It’s hard to trust major news media like the NYT and WAPO. We can’t un-see their massive thumbs on the scale this last election cycle. It wasn’t just Elon who got Trump elected.
With our media there is no penalty for lying if you are a Republican.
The American justice system. One million dollar bribes get you pardoned. The oligarch ruling class press seems good with this. Why wouldn’t they be?
That would have to be in a country where media is not owned and controlled by corporations and the ruling class.
It’s more than “wimpy journalism”, it’s thumb on the political scales Fox News Light.
The cult is being assured on TikTok that 5K checks are currently being processed.
We also need to learn that a mass media controlled by oligarchs is insufficient to protect democracy.
It is also impossible to argue that we are rewarding Pharma for their “inventions” when the majority of new drugs are based on government research. Patent extensions are usually based on trivial updates of existing drugs. it’s just a rip off.
Nothing about the Times editorial choices should surprise anyone. The most corrupt President in history and corporate media is turning a blind eye.
Got a link to that or some receipts?
Food was safer just over 100 days ago.
Trrump knows it is a lie. He is comfortable with lies. He repeats them over and over and they become "truth".
One would think that in a second amendment country more armed citizens would be stepping up to protect fellow citizens being abducted in public by masked unidentified persons.
This is from the Quisling faction of the Dem. party. They work for corporate and fear Progressive Dems more than they fear fascist Republicans.
You think it isn’t clear where they stand? You’re going to “make them vote” against a Schumer amendment? Way to play hardball………retire schmuck.
Didn’t he make Pence the Covid czar? It’s classic Trump.
Would this be the case if Fox news was not a huge media voice or if the mass media decided they spoke for more than the ruling class?
Okay but I’d rather they join Dems in voting for Speaker Warren and House Leader AOC. The other two corporate/AIPAC relics won’t got it done.
Looking to the rich to save us may not be the most effective strategy.
Used to own a Tesla but I’d buy one of those Chinese electric cars tomorrow except my market based, free trade, capitalist gov’t wont allow them in.
These are the party leaders and opinion shapers who believe the progressive wing of the party is the enemy and Republicans are wayward brothers/sisters who just need a little bipartisan love.
Better yet, get his kids career jobs on the production line.
The NYT has still refused to describe Trump’s “appetite for lies” despite massive decades long supporting evidence.
Cleaning China’s clock?Delusional RINO.
Mass media, even the paper of record, is oligarch owned, ruling class media. It needs to be recognized as propaganda so we can stop pretending it’s professional "journalism”.
"Gift" article requires entering email and requires former subscribers sign in. For anyone who wants nothing to do with Bezos WAPO this doesn't work.
AOC is the whole package. She is a fighter, she doesn’t take the money and she supports labor and working class values and decency. Those who call her radical think medicare for all is radical.
You seem so close. If only you noticed that our entire media is ruling class, oligarch owned and creates and shapes most opinion in this country.
Are the recent calls for Dem. party unity just a re-worked “vote blue no matter who”? If so, count me out.
NYU is not that elite except for being the 2nd most expensive college in the US. It’s not Ivy and ranks behind good State Universities.
Trump is damaging the economy but blaming it on inheriting a bad Biden economy. He’d do the same with a shut down. Dems always get played.
So when are Senate Dems holding that vote of “no confidence” and electing a new leader?
The Department of Justice was tainted by their failure to hold criminal Trump accountable and by their long history of jailing the poor, minorities and the powerless while allowing the wealthy to walk. There has never been much “justice” in the U.S.
I wonder if Chuck Schumer and John Fetterman have the same AIPAC handler?
Dem. leadership works for corporate donors. It’s their job to undermine and weaken a progressive, activist Dem party.
It almost comical to see our journalists evaluation of Democratic leaders as fearful, risk averse, feckless clowns when they are actually well paid agents of the ruling class……. Just like so many journalists.
Listening to the great Leonard Cohen and “Everybody Knows” seems like a song for the times. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu8u...
