I am no fan of Newsom and this won’t make me one but I just appreciate anyone pointing out how absolutely ludicrous Trump is. I think we’ve all gotten too used to his batshittery and seeing another politician mirror it (and republicans and the media’s response to it) shows how weird it all is.

it’s basically research

Cannot wait for this! It’s been so long I may have to rewatch season 1 for a refresher

That last paragraph is exactly where I’m at. And it’s not a great feeling.

the party of “personal responsibility” never seems to accept any

“unbound by either honesty or shame” is really the ongoing theme of the Trump years

Carol Leonnig is that last shoe I was waiting to drop. Really the only one left who was a must read. The absolute gutting of talent is unreal. The paper is nothing without them and it’s unlikely that management/ownership doesn’t see that. It’s going to be like Newsweek — an empty name
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
There’s really no one over there anymore that I considered a must read. She was the last.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
Even more true now than it was a few years ago. “The reality is that the people with the most money have devised, at every turn, new and more bulletproof ways for them to make and keep more money, and for the people who make things to make less. This is the eternal story of labor and management…”

The democrats who believe sanity will eventually return to republicans in congress are as big a problem as the republicans themselves and are the main reason democrats approval ratings are so low. They just look old and delusional.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
I know this gets exhausting and old, but let’s imagine how Fox would cover this if the current president was a democrat.

How could you

I think Perry Bacon left too
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
I fucking couldn’t agree more
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
Republicans tried to make the worst consequences/cuts hit after the midterms but millions (myself included) will feel this in November when we see our new premium rates. As the piece says it will impact everyone not just those getting premium assistance.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
He’ll be all right but what about the 200 people he acknowledged who work there. Sucks all around.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
Onwards and upwards! Will follow wherever you land.

What is behind this one?? Is there some big Republican donor tomato grower that this is for?

For the first time I’m convinced it’s real and it’s bad
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
Every word from him makes me think they must be really bad. And I never even believed in them before!
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
Every word just makes me believe the files incriminate him and his buddies. I never thought there was a there there but he’s actually convinced me otherwise.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
I did indeed cry very hard. That moment he describes when they’re in the trees and he hears his sister crying out. I had to pause for a bit before I finished it. So personal and truly heartbreaking.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
Stunning that he still has a job considering the loss of talent, traffic to the website and subscriptions during his leadership
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly the examples I was thinking of. We know they’re capable of being relentless… just not when it comes to Republicans I guess.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
I think that’s an easy out and also not true at all. One major outlet like NYT relentlessly hammering a story or narrative leads to others following and the narrative spreading and slowly changing minds.

If you happen on a story that is “white supremacist tries to smear nonwhite person for accurately describing his background in order to block his mayoral chances,” it’s certainly a choice to a) publish at all b) adopt that person’s narrative

And my Bronze exchange plan with an insane $7k Rx deductible is already $600/mo so that’s a little scary
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
Even people on the exchange who qualified for subsidies (enhanced under the IRA) are about to find out. Actually all of us are about to find out bc costs will go up for ALL exchange plans bc fewer people will be insured.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
But if elected Dems choose to back Cuomo or even just not back Mamdani they will allienate a generation of voters and not just in NY. It’s plain fuckery for the party not to back him in the general.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
there was actually an option of 365 without AI at the old price but it was so hard to find and I wouldn’t have even known about it if I hadn’t seen someone mention it here
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
I think it’s as basic as Trump being a marketer at heart and he wants to somehow link it to some patriotic Independence Day BS in people’s minds
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
He is an idiot. If you claim a premium credit that you later end up not qualifying for when you file your taxes you owe all that money back.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
would love to see some metrics on tvs tuning out the minute he appeared. I know I was one. What a joke.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
And if you were watching MSNBC they just switched off of Alex Padilla to interview John Kasich of all people
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
and seemed like they really tried to downplay that in the press conference particularly presenting the incident where Hortman and her husband were killed in a very confusing way
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
Your coverage and interviews with the people protesting yesterday were great. So thoughtful and real.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
I remember a lot of pearl clutching from the media and even elected democrats when Biden gave a speech on democracy and there were a few uniformed troops in the background. Mostly crickets today.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
such a trash question

I don’t doubt Ellen sucks but if you watch/listen to the podcast seemed to me like she was making a joke of it (whole episode was great and I recommend)

To be pro-Trump you have to frequently lie about what he’s actually doing and saying and the “news media” shouldn’t be platforming liars
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
He left a life of potential legal consequences
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
wouldn’t want to make it difficult for Republicans
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly. Which is why I’m endlessly frustrated when the media says he’s just doing what he said he would do which is how they’ve mostly been framing the tariff discussion.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
It makes me internally scream when I hear pundits and press (and Trump!) say that Trump is just doing what he said he would. Yes he was obsessed with tariffs but he consistently lied about who actually pays them.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
Also people will be buying fewer dolls from AMERICAN businesses that stock those dolls. It’s American families AND businesses that will lose
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
This is just going to destroy people’s businesses. Most people cant/wont pay that kind of surcharge and no way businesses can just eat it for the sake of survival.

This was a really great segment!

@chrislhayes.bsky.social that was a great segment with Betsey Stevenson but also kinda terrifying

I loved this one and can’t wait for book 2

And am I wrong or did she have Kasich on to comment on the crowds Bernie and AOC are getting? It seemed so misplaced. I turned it off.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
This is how it’s going to be from now on isn’t it. Denials to blue states. Approvals to red states.

“What’s your handicap, sir?” was a real one
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
I really want know if they believe their own bullshit
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
also that revenue is just a new tax paid by Americans
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
This was such a weak interview. Mika and Joe never pushing back when Kennedy claimed Trump had already won on tariffs. Just nodding their head in agreement and posing gentle suggestions.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
And unfortunately for me I listened to the “expert”
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
Casual viewer of MSNBC here. Had a convo with my financial advisor on 11/18 and told her I thought Trump was going to crash the economy (tariffs, fed layoffs, budget cuts) and was wondering if I should pull out and just move to HYS for a bit. And she said “Trump will be great for the stock market.”
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
and none of those explanations are great news
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
more and more it looks like the idea is that only the strong survive and kill off or cut off anyone who isn’t however they can
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
I think the same thing happened at Dept of Education
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
I am slightly panicked bc I invested a decent chunk of my savings last year. The last time I did that was right before the market tanked for covid. My timing is always excellent.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
As much as the media whined about Biden retreating to Delaware so much I have not heard the same complaints about Trump this term and all his maralago golf trips

They all morph into Trump. It will never stop being weird to me.

They finally switched over. It’s been such a miss all day.

Yeah I don’t get it. Even MSNBC has only dipped in for a minute here and there.

An incredible show and also the music! There are some songs that I hear and they take me right back to a certain episode or scene even years later.

I rewatched this recently and it is just as good as I remembered. It is definitely in my top 5 shows/series I’ve ever watched.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
I honestly feel like the media goads him sometimes with these kinds of questions. Like they dangle bait and he takes it which really sucks for the rest of us who will have to live with the consequences.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
I did the same a few months ago but went with YTTV. Was apprehensive but it’s to freeing. I love that I can easily cancel at any time and just try something else. May try Hulu+ live in a few months when my intro rate ends.

just so out of touch with the reality people are living in
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
you people are delusional
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
just mindless destruction
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah that was Biden’s hope after 2020 too. Not sure what it’s going to take for him to see reality. I doubt it’s possible at this point. It’s willful blindness bc he doesn’t want to deal with the alternative.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
I’ve just never noticed anyone else do that who was sitting at the table with him. As a viewer it felt awkward and kind of fake.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
This is it exactly
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
I find it so distracting that he often looks directly into the camera when he’s talking to Chris. He should just be looking at Chris. He did it the last time he was on with him too.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
He thinks it’s still 2017. Meanwhile SCOTUS has since said Trump is invincible and he’s surrounded by lawless weirdos. The fact that Schumer said democracy WASN’T yet at risk was enough for me. He’s got to go.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
I could feel/hear Chris channeling my frustration. That did not make me feel any better about Schumer’s leadership. He’s stuck in an era that no longer exists.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
He’s living in a world that no longer exists. Biden had the same problem. It’s generational and exactly why we need a new/younger generation in leadership.
Lolo (@loloanne.bsky.social) reply parent
I am honestly struggling with how asymmetric all of this is including (especially!) the media’s response to things
