Outside the Beltway

A long exposé misses the mark.

American Angst 101

An attack on the First Amendment in plain sight.

Say what Trump wants or he’ll threaten to sue!

Not really posts, but hey, here they are anyway.

The information bubble is real.

Resisting gaslighting must be social. It’s crucial for those who oppose Trump’s falsehoods to remind each other, again and again, that 2 + 2 = 4.

Things have to be bad when they actually start to speak the truth to the President

The Nerd Prom chickens out.

Coping in a second Trump term.

How they’re covering it.

Is there an echo in here.

Editors killed a cartoon criticizing media and tech moguls for giving money to Trump.

They repeatedly said he has been found “liable for rape.” The nerve.

When the abnormal ceases to be.

There’s a glaring gap in my information consumption.

One thread that runs through most explanations for Tuesday’s result.

How that awful man won again.

Trump, Bezos, and the slippery slope of authoritarianism.

Our long national nightmare is not over.

Lying about hurricanes and stoking ridiculous theories about weather control are the latest examples.

The 45th President and the press, part a million.

And more silence from our MAGA aligned commenters

Racism this explicit needs to be directly confronted

Sometimes the bird gives you the bird

Why press coverage of the former and possibly future President doesn’t match the reality.

To what degree is right wing media shaping Trump’s view of Harris?

Is it the press’s responsibility to turn nonsense into sense?

Where’s my $400,000 a month contract?

Fascist agitation begets violence.

Yet another service disruption over rights fees calls attention to the issue.

J. D. Vance seems to have a cruel sense of humor and issues with women. Weird!

From Juiceboxer to arguably the most important media figure on the left.

Ezra Klein on Manliness, Cat Ladies, Fertility Panic and the 2024 Election.

I love a good data visualization!

The soft bigotry of low expectations.

On hacks and different treatment for Clinton and Trump.

Revisiting an old post.

Unpacking J. D. Vance’s bad PR instincts

Five minutes is an eternity in the current information environment.

An odd juxtaposition in the major press.

Cruelty with compound interest.

I question the timing.

We don’t know much but the early details are all too familiar.

Are the press out to get the President? Or abetting a coverup?

The President is going all-in to undo the damage from the debate.

A non-ruling by the Supreme Court is being touted as something else.
