The gap between media coverage of Biden's health (wore orthopedic shoes, sometimes mispronounced a name - HE MUST HAVE DEMENTIA!) and Trump's health (hands constantly bruised, cankles, dozing off in public - NOTHING TO SEE HERE, FOLKS!) is a joke.

Trump is set to visit Walter Reed on Tuesday for his 3rd checkup in 13 months. The White House touts reports he's in "exceptional" health. Outside physicians said there are legitimate health questions about the nearly 80-year-old president. wapo.st/4f5wJ4j

Everything Price Sufferer (but especially eggs)
All of this. Trump is corrupt and fascistic in a way that's not only unprecedented in US history but in the entire developed world, and every journalist that tweets "this bozo is up to his old tricks again" is functionally pro-Trump.
NYTPitchbot@DougJBalloon

(1/X) I would argue that the vast majority of all commentary is essentially pro-Trump. I don't mean pro-Trump in the sense of liking Trump, I mean it in the sense of them not holding him to the anything close to the same standards as Democratic politicians....

Donald Trump Jr is a paid strategic advisor for Kalshi, and a major investor and advisor for Polymarket. The Trump administration is using taxpayer money to sue to protect their family’s investments. This is what corruption looks like.

The federal government is suing Minnesota after state legislators passed a bill that would ban prediction market companies from operating in the state. abcnews.link/jQC2C8V

Bill Clinton has a random run-in with Loretta Lynch at an airport in 2016 - MASSIVE, WEEKS LONG SCANDAL JD Vance attends a private dinner with Chief Justice Roberts while the Court considers multiple Trump Admin lawsuits - "social call" ... "friendly pop-by"

Just unbelievable corruption. He said he would drain the swamp, instead he brought in the swampiest administration in history, declared himself Supreme Emperor of Swampopia, and ordered his justice department to essentially give his entirely family immunity.

Trump's former defense lawyer signed an agreement *on behalf of the government* that gives Trump and every member of his family immunity from any tax audits up to today. A provision worth (at a minimum) $100 million based on a long and ongoing audit of the Trump Org.

Trump looting almost $2 billion from the government coffers to pay his supporters is one of the largest scandals in US history. But our press is so beaten down and the public has become so fatigued by his constant criminality that it's barely a news story.

He's mastered the art of engaging in conduct that would be a "-gate" level scandal for any other President but is forgotten within 24 hours b/c the media is just like "hey man, it's just Trump being Trump"

Media owners are MAGA and their reporters rely on access to keep their jobs. Even if that were not so, policy bores the shit out of most reporters, and if you don't believe me, they could not have ignored all the legislation that passed under Joe Biden more if they tried.
Phillips P. OBrien@PhillipsPOBrien

It is amazing how little the press is willing to dissect US decline under Trump. The US got no help with Iran, was scolded on Taiwan, says it got a small Boeing deal (China has not confirmed) and Trump appeased on Chinese students, microchips, etc. Xi even insulted US power. And yet it is being reported as a modest successful event. It was a strategic failure by the US and marks a notable moment in US decline.

@khrisody I don’t think it’s ongoing. They likely wrapped it up last year.

The Clippers came into this era looking old, capped out, and with the perception they had no real future. They walked out of it with 25-year-old All-Star Darius Garland, 23-year-old Bennedict Mathurin, two intriguing prospects in Yanic and Kobe Sanders, the No. 5 pick, the No. 36 pick in the 2026 Draft, and a 2029 first-round pick. That’s an insane pivot for a team people thought was headed for a hard reset.

Biden's presidency was ended by the media who blamed him personally for a spike in inflation that happened due to things outside his control. Inflation is spiking now due entirely to decisions Trump has made and the media could not care less. Absolutely fucking infuriating.
Liz Ann Sonders@LizAnnSonders

April PPI #inflation +6.0% y/y vs. +4.8% est. & +4.3% prior (revised up from +4.0%) … core +5.2% y/y vs. +4.3% est. & +4.0% (revised up from +3.8% prior)

A financial settlement using our tax dollars *and* a promise not to audit him his kids, or their businesses? Seems like a fair deal to me 🙄
