Trump on Liz Cheney: "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her. Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."
If you have time for only one thread today, make it Jacob's stunning survey of journalism's full accommodation and promotion of Trump. These headlines are Exhibit A in the solid case that media has been complicit in Trumpism 2.0's ascension.

This is cowardice, with democracy as its casualty. @realdonaldtrump will see this as an invitation to further intimidate owner @jeffbezos (and others). Disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.
@thejackhopkins@ckkoch3@MSNBC Trump made it clear in 2016 that he had no respect for the traditions of that dinner, and behaved like an animal. There was no dinner during COVID, so who in their right mind would agree to show up this year to watch him defecate?
@JuddLegum Judd, can we just ask the NYT if Michael Gold is another Jayson Blair? Does he attend any of the events he reports on? Maybe this isn't about interpretation. Maybe he's just swindling his expense report?
@BradMossEsq I generally admire your observations, but why are you choosing to amplify these two particular bits of chicanery? Seems to do more harm than good.
@CatCaseyAZ@ChrisFranzCCH@BillKristol This reminds me of the young guy who didn't recognize the older guy he was talking to when he said he had proof the moon landing was faked. It was Buzz Aldrin, who verbally ripped his head off.
So yeah, Bob Woodward is a reputable reporter.
@Fernandonyny@PamKeithFL 88% of Greenland identifies as Inuit. Only 12% are the Danes you described. The reason Greenland was so horrified by Trump's offer was that they knew he and this country discriminate against non-white peoples.
