"The New York Times saw those two polls [Ipsos and Pew] and decided the key thing it wanted its readers to know was 'Polls Shows Strong G.O.P. Support for Trump on Immigration.'
I’m sure knee-jerk Times defenders will reject this critique, arguing (tautologically) that the Times article wasn’t about public opinion broadly but rather about Trump’s support among Republicans."

"But that’s exactly the problem. Centering Republicans in this way, while making only passing mention of the disapproval of the public at large, treats Republicans as the only people who matters. It obscures the broad opposition to the Trump regime, and thus props it up."

"Every choice to fund authoritarianism over care is a tax on our collective wellbeing and souls—a tax that buys nothing but cruelty, instability, and the slow dismantling of American values. We’re not just losing healthcare and research funding. We’re losing any pretensions of decency."

"If you somehow still aren’t convinced about the danger we are in right now, consider that on this date in 1936 — exactly 90 years ago — Nazi Germany passed a law investing the Gestapo secret police with absolute authority exempt from any legal review."
