Journalists, please get this right
Yesterday Trump announced the plan to steal PA votes: "As soon as that election's over, we're going in with our lawyers"
This is not process, it's theft
I called PA's AG to talk about why the media needs to call this what it fucking is

Trump just said this all out loud. And the news media broadcast it as if it's just part of the democratic process. This is so deeply and soggily fucked up. If you work in a newsroom, over the next 24 hours, please speak up. I will venmo you. What do u want

A micro-nightmare I have inside my Big Nightmare is Trump’s lawyers muddy the Steal The Election plan with briefs, lawsuits, legal claims, jargony stuff—new confusing words and other bullshit that journalists will default into covering as “the campaign says…"
It’s just stealing
It’s just stealing
That useful device of “how would you cover it if it happened in another country” applies, but our media is obsessed with the idea that America is exceptional and the greatest democracy in the world
But what if it isn’t
Cover it for what it is, not what you want it to be
But what if it isn’t
