2024 is going to be non-stop MAGAs talking about "reclaiming" a "stolen" White House. Y'all better be prepared to focus your energies on the GOP instead of sniping at your own people. The Dems are a big tent from centrists to leftists. But there's one common foe: the white nationalist fascist GOP. Don't forget that.
You may have missed it, Aqua Buddha, but the Supreme Court settled this issue. And, someday, you'll have to explain to me why my father's bona fides as an American citizen is under question now.
As Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche fired me for doing my job, then subjected me and my family to months of retaliation. My story is one of many reasons the Senate should not confirm Blanche again. Read and share my letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee. https://t.co/g8bFrhZ9Dg

I think people have lost the will to try fact-check this guy due to the volume of lies he spreads.
Also it's actually pretty difficult with this image and quite time consuming.
It just happens I had nothing better to do. /1
Hi @NYTimesPR, thanks for responding. Appreciate it. I'm a subscriber and I think some of your reporters do some great reporting.
Just to respond to your response to my post:
1) There were no facts "misstated" by me. You cited three examples in response. Only one of them was about specific *named* GOP House members (and it wasn't from "yesterday", it was from a year ago.) So I stand by my post.
2) As others have pointed out already, none of the 3 articles you cited have the names of any GOP individuals in the titles ("Right-Wing Republicans" "a Kansas Republican" "G.O.P. Fingerprints"), in comparison to your original "Who is Darializa" takedown piece. Where is your "Who is Brandon Gill" or "Who is Keith Self" or "Who Is Randy Fine" or "Who Is Mary Miller" critical profile pieces? How about "Who is Tom Emmer," given the GOP House Majority Whip just a few days ago spewed racist crap about Somalis? And where are the Peter Baker tweets summarizing *their* most controversial claims?
3) This isn't a new criticism. Many have made it against your paper for many years; that you go harder on the left than the right, that you even occasionally whitewash the far right. Remember when you had to do a public response in 2017 to a NYT profile that went super soft on a... Nazi? https://t.co/IF6DhTwcrp. Remember when you guys did a softball piece about a far-right, Islamophobic Trump aide's love for cooking? https://t.co/dp0Sf9PQg9.
Oh, and dare I ask: where are the fawning 'Trump voters' in diners' equivalent pieces for DSA members in NYC bodegas? Isn't it time?
4) Finally, that your response to my post was to proudly say you guys at the Times have "been documenting the increasingly extreme viewpoints on both sides of the political spectrum" kinda makes my point for me. One side's extreme wants universal healthcare and an end to genocide. The other side's extreme says Somalis are "garbage" and wants "remigration", mass deportations and white supremacy.
But, hey, "Both sides!"
The Israeli Foreign Ministry & IDF have been weaponising false claims against @pressfreedom to deflect attention from the 200+ journalists they’ve killed, many deliberately. Journalism is not a crime & the attacks on CPJ will only embolden Israel further
Phillip: Are you concerned about how much money Trump has raked in in one year?
Borelli: Am I concerned with a billionaire making more billions? No, I'm not. Nobody who voted for Donald Trump is suspect of him making money.
Birthright citizenship is more than a law...it is a promise that if you are born here, you belong here.
On the eve of America's 250th birthday, may we always keep this promise: "We The People" means all of us.
IVEY: The CBO says it's going to cost $125,000,000 to change the name from Department of Defense to Department of War
VOUGHT: We haven't done our own estimate
IVEY: It's a lot of money and we spent a time hearing that the needs we'd like to fund, we didn't have the money to fund
The court strikes down President Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship, holding that children born in the U.S. to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the U.S. and are citizens at birth.

Increased scrutiny of Supreme Court finances could have a chilling effect on future Justices' ability to take free luxury vacations with right-wing billionaires.
